Problem of a Girl Wife

CHAPTER COCXIV.
We decided to make a picnic out
of the Sunday trip to the country
place Tom was thinking of buying.
"I'll furnish the car," said Tom
when he phoned me about it on
Saturday, "and have my hbuse
keeper pack a hamper of lunch. All
you have to do. Donna Anna, is
gather together the congenial crowd.
Young Neal and Phoebe, I'd sug
gest, and Pat—if he'll come."
"You don't seem to have left me
much to do even in the line of fur
nishing the crowd," I replied.
"Come now—there's a catch in it j
somewhere. What is it? What's
my share in the division of labor?"
"Oh, the car holds seven. So
you might furnish a girl. A lonely
bachelor maid to cheer the lonely
bachelor," said Tom.
"All right," I agreed gayly, for
getting that my list of bachelor
girls consisted briefly of Carlotta
and Daisy. Then 1 added, "Where
are you phoning from?"
On Tom's replying unsuspiciously I
that he was at the downtown studio, '
I promptly called the uptown studio i
where Daisy was in charge and in
vited her. Her reply astonished 1
me: I
"Anne, you are wonderful to ask |
me—to treat me as if nothing had
happened. But I can't come. 11
can't face your husband yet."
I didn't protest, for her tone con- j
veyed clearly how remorse and l
shame were overwhelming Daisy.
So she probably didn't want to see
me either. I determined to keep on
inviting her out as if nothing had
occurred and so Anally wear down
the acute edges of her misery.
When- I asked Carlotta, it turned
out that both she and Pat were
booked for a house party some
Sturges cousins were giving. So
there seemed' no one else to ask in |

tent with a party of five.
On Sunday morning, as I was
putting the lust touches to my picnic
costume, Hedwig fame to the door
of my room and announced callers,
"Miss Warren and Mr. Haldane."
"What a nice piece of old-fash-
courtesy," commented Jim.
"What do you mean?" I asked in
a flutter about taking off my hat
again.
"Calling the Sunday before the
dinner to which you've invited
them," he replied. "Take your bon
net off, Anne. }t don't hurt Tommie
and the kids to wait, and Mr. Hal
dane is the most important person
you've ever had visit you. Hope
Tom's a bit late."
"Sing-ho for the Harrison pride!"
I laughed, vastly pleased neverthe
less at the good impression this re
newal of auld acquaintance was
producing on Jim.
Then we went out to greet our
callers. Mr. Haldane is a real gen
tleman of the old school, in frock
coat, gray striped trousers, gray
spats, and he wore a white carna
tion in his buttonhole as casually as
he wore his air of old-fashioned
courtesy. Iron gray and keen of
hair and eyes, he had more than
ever the air of gentleness and im
pending break I had felt toward the
end of my employment in his office.
He stopped over my hand gravely
from his slender height, and then
presented his companion with his
well-remembered air of making a
rite of each least thing that came
along for him to do.
"Mrs. Harrison, let me present my
niece, Irma Warren. You have met
before, I think. Miss Warren,
Lieutenant Harrison. Dear me,
dear me! I'm fancying myself back
on the war basis, where we met and
I made your happy match for vou,
Mr. Harrison."
Jim and our masculine guest
shook hands on that and asked per
mission to light cigars, so I was left
free to_ renew acquaintance witli
Irma Warren. 1 saw a plump girl
of about five feet three, with twink
ling blue eyes which might appear
large if her face weren't too roly
poly and apple-cheeked. Fine,
wavy bronze gold hair and a nose
that is clear cut and beautifully
chiseled redeem her from the look
of blowziness and commoness her
wide mouth, high color and over
developed figure might otherwise
give her. Her hands are a bit com
mon, too. Boyish and capable I
found when she gripped my linger."
in a hearty squeeze. But they are
counter-balanced, as I discovered
later by slim, high-arched feet. And
her wide mouth parted in a gener
ous smile which shows the loveliest
of white teeth.
She wore a plain little blue voile
dress and a flat black hat trimmed
with a ribbon bow. I got a sensa
tion of being back home again, and
seeing one of my high-school com
panions in her first long dress. The
city hadn't set its mark on Irma
Warren. Even to a casual glance
she is "small-town stuff." I won

CHAPTER LXIV
Copyright, 1919, Star Company
David DeLaine had another tele
. gram—the second that had come to
j him within a week. It, like its pre- ,
' decessor, was addressed to "David t
i Smith." This message was from
| Miss Jeane DeLaine's lawyer in Bal-
I timore and requested the recipient
[ to "Come without delay, as import
-1 ant matter must be settled."
It must have been dispatched after
! the sender had received David's let
! ter telling him that he would try
to run on to Baltimore before long.
| Henry Anderson must yvant to see
him in a hurry, the chauffeur re
flected. Undoubtedly much was at
j stake—more, perhaps, than the
young man had let himself hope
after reading the lawyer's former
communication.
He must obey the summons.
| Now, at last, his duty was Clear.
He sternly reminded himself of
j this as he reviewed for the hun- ■
; dredtli time the scene between him
! self and Desiree Leighton last night,
j For he thought he understood
everything now—all the illusions
I that had been made about the pen- j
j dant, as well as Desiree's confused
I manner.
i The pendant had disappeared.
(The girl's father had suspected his'
| chauffeur of taking it from its box
ion the way to the jeweler's. He had !
| probably mentioned his suspicions
' to other people—else how would t
Miss Goddard know of them? For !
(surely she had this in'wind when
( she made veiled remarks regarding
I the missing jewel.
| There had been only one person j
| who trusted him. That was Desiree '
j herself. She had told him this — t
j had told him she Mhd sent him that (
| enigmatic telegram to urge him to
- stay so that his innocence might be
j proved. He wondered how it could
I have been proved. Probably, he j
j mused, Samuel Leighton had wished
jto watch him while investigating
the case.
David's jaw set sternly. This man
had dared think that he—
Then he remembered that Sam
uel Leighton was the father of
, the girl he loved —the girl who had
, sacritieed her ideas of conventions,
. had set aside the traditions of her
I class to send a message to him be
' cause she knew—in the face of all
, evidence against him—that he was
, honest. She trusted him.
The lines about his mouth soft
ened. She had done all that for
him.
' Fqr one unthinking moment he
had wondered if she had done it
because she liked him. Then he
had stifled the suggestion. She,
' Desiree Leighton, was nt the sort
, of a girl who would have any per
sonal feeling for her father's chauf
feur.
She was kind—that was all. Yet
there had been a look in her eyes
in that dim light last night
Again he set his jaws grimly and,
takj>§ up the telegram, re-read it.
He must see his employer at once
and tell him that he was about to
leave his position, must ask him to
', release him from his promise to stay
with him for a few days longer.
David disliked to do this. Yet
! Anderson's telegram had convinced
| him that his future might depend
u upon prompt action. Moreover, he
I knew that he dared not see Desiree
I Leighton again—much as his heart
! cried out for her.
But he had no real softening of
[ the heart toward Desiree's father,
i Even while he tried to remind him
i self that his employer knew noth-
I ing of his character, the young man
'could not smother his resentment
i at the older man's suspicions of him.
, | Still, for the daughter's sake, he
must be courteous and considerate.
It was early afternoon. He had
received no orders this morning.
Now he went around to the garage
j for the second time to-day.
Here he was informed that his
j employer had telephoned that Smith
• was to call him up at the earliest
opportunity,
j JDbeying instructions, David was
told by a clerk that Mr. Leighton
| wished Smith to come downtown
this afternoon —by 3 o'clock if pos
! sible.
I "He does not want the car," the
clerk explained. "You can come in
the subway."
"I will be down in a half hour,"
Smith said curtly. Then he hung
A Home Recipe For
Wrinkled, Saggy Skin
The famous saxolite lotion recom
mended by beauty specialists for re
moving wrinkles and for reducing
distended pores, can easily be made
at home. Ask your druggist for sax
. olite in powdered form, one ounce,
and a half pint of witch hazel. Dis
solve the powder in the witch hazel
and bathe the face, neck and hands
in the solution. Results are remark
able. and instantaneous. The skin
tightens, and this naturally reduces
the wrinkles, as well as creases or
i folds about the neck, cheeks or
I hands. The tissue beneath the skin
I also becomes firmer and more solid.
One feels much refreshed and ex
hilarated after using this truly won
derful preparation. Many women look

| this only a short time.

up the receiver and started from
the building.
But at the door of the garage a
young man, just entering, detained
him.
Looking for a Position
"Excuse me," he said, "but I am
wondering if you know of anyone
needing a chauffeur?"
Smith scrutinized the speaker
keenly. He was young and looked
strong and honest.
"Why, yes," he smiled, "perhaps I
do. "It's rather queer that you
should have asked me that just now i
—for lamon my way to see my J
employer to give up my job. It is }
a good place—but private matters |
make it necessary for me to leave |
it. I will mention having spoken I
with you—let me have your ad- j
dress."
"Thank you," the other man said, j
"I can furnish good references, too. j
I'd be glad to be spared the ex
pense of registering at an agency,
if I could."
David wrote down the applicant's
address and hurried on to the sub
way. He was glad of this encoun
ter, for, now that he was so soon
to tell Mr. Leighton that he could
qot keep his engagement, he felt
vaguely guilty. It seemed almost
providential that he should have met
a man wanting a place just at this j
juncture.
"At all events, the old man can
not say that I have nobody else in
view for him," he thought. "Al
though he has been mighty unfair
in his suspicions of me, yet I do
not care to inconvenience him. But
—I wish he had kept his face shut
about those same suspicions."

employer's private office.

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
i
The question of a girl proposing to
a young man has often been discussed.
Many, many articles headed, "Should
\\ omen Propose?" have appeared, and
j the case has been argued pro and con.
I do not suppose that there was over
a group of young people gathered that |
the subject was not at one time or I
another threshed out.
Mow a girl puts it up to me in a j
letter. She met a young man and a
romantic attachment sptrang upl be- |
tween them, but they never actually |
became engaged. His family as well
| as hers rather frowned on their friend
| ship, because t l their youth, and also
on account of his unsettled financial
state. He went to another city to take
a position, and she heard from him
I regularly, his letters being full of ex
! pressions of affection. Then they
j ceased abruptly. No letter came for
' weeks.
Mater she heqrd liorn him again, i
and he told her that he had been ill j
and had lost his position. He was |
going to another town, however, where I
he thought there was the chance of aj
good opening. Since that time several
months have pgssed, and she has not j
heard a word.
She writes me that she is very tin-1
happy over the whole situation. She
fancies that '.he young man may be out
iol health, or may have failed to se
cure a new position, and in either
I case may be too discouraged over
his prospects to write.
Her imagination is working over
time, and she finds the suspense of his
long silence almost too hard to bear.
His family never speaks of him to her.
and she does not like to brin up the
subject. Hut unless she does ask them i
for it, she has no way of learning his
address ; so she is now about ready to .
pocket her pride and request it from I
them. Then it is her purpose to write J
him and tell him that she is ready to j
marry him at any time.
But I pray her to consider the mat- !
ter a little further. We only pocket j
I cur pride when we are pretty sure of i
! getting something big enough to com- |
j pensate us for doing so; and all she

| Everything she Imagines may be
j true. All the excuses she makes for
j his silence may be correct. His pride
! may keep him from writing, and he
j may be longing for the comfort and
| encouraemgent of her letters.
But, on the other hand, that may
not be the case. He may not care to
go against the wishes of his patents,
and he may he taking this way to let
her interest in him die a gradual
death; or he may have met another
) girl who attracts him more.
Now, a young man In this girl's po- |
I sition would say to himself "I am go- i
j ing to find out the truth." He would |
■ get the girl's address from her fam-
I ily, if possible, and would write and
! ask the reasons for her apparent cool
ness.
Why may a young woman not do
the same? Why does she have to sit j
with folded hands and see her happi- j
ness slip by her?
There are several reasons. One
is that when a man asks a woman
to marry him he is virtually saying
in the words of the marriage service:
j "With all my wordly goods I thee en
' dow." He is offering to provide shel
j ter and food and clothing for her, the
I necessities of life and as many of the
| comforts as he can afford.
I This fact places a woman at an ex- j
j treme disadvantage when it comes to |
! proposing, unless she is well off and i
| her money is so invested that it ap
' pears to be sufficient to supply her
needs throughout her life. And even
then she is at a disadvantage.
She has overstepped a very firmly
held convention. It may be an un
fair convention, or an unjust or even
an absurd one; but nevertheless it ex
ists and is very deeply rooted. Sup
pose the marriage does not turn out
happily? The woman who has pro
j posed it is again at a serious dis
| advantage.
' Jn their disagreements the man is j
apt to feel and perhaps to say: "It
|is all your fault. I would never have j
[ dreamed of marrying you if you had |
I not asked me, and then I was too j
j chivalrous to turn you down." A hor
| rid thing to say, but then people do j
j say nasty things to each other in j
I heated moments. And she, poor thing, i
j is left without an answer, and no wo- j
I man on earth likes that.
There is another point to be con- I
sidered by the girl who writes me. (
If this man really loves her he is (
treating her very carelessly, to say j
the least, and It is far better for her
