Their Married Life By MABEL HERBERT URNER. H ELEN was tired — tired and warm, and Just a little Irri table. There 1s nothin* more trying than continuous shopping: and sight-seeing:. By the large gilt clock over a Jew eler's window on the Rue de la Pal* 1 it was now half-past four. Helen paused undecidedly. She was too re Ft leas to go back to the hotel and wait two long hours before Warren would come. She would go somewhere and have tea —that would give her a chance to rest. The Rita! Why not go there? She knew that to have tea on the terrace at the Ritz was one of the things "todo” while In Parle. When she reached the Imposing en trance of this smart hotel. Helen wondered if her simple traveling suit might not be rather plain for tea at ■o pretentious a place. But at least, no one would know her Helen was always Impressed by the atmosphere of appointments of a great hotel. When she was with Warren, his assured "man of the world” air gave her confidence, but now as she passed alone through the luxurious foyer nnd lounging rooms she felt both timid and self-con scious. The terrace, an Inner court garden, was gay with flowers and the red and white parasol-shaped awnings that shaded each table. It looked like a garden party on the stage, and a concealed orchestra, playing noftly, heightened this Inspiration. There was a small vacant table near the entrance and Helen took it hurriedly She wished now she had waited to come sime afternoon when she was more appropriately gowned, for her dark, tailored suit seemed conspicuous among all those light summer dresses of silks and chiffons. To Helen’s surprise, a waiter now hurried up to her and began talking very fa*t In French. Seeing that she did not understand, he rushed off and returned with an arrogant head waiter who spoke English. A Rebuff. "I’m sorry, madnme, hut you can not sit here. This table Is reserved." Helen flunhel. There was a subtle note of condescension in his voice which she sensed was due to her plain gown. "That Is also reserved," ss she gathered up her purse and gloves and turned to another table, "but I can seat you inside.” Intuitively Helen knew the tables were NOT reserved, but that he did not wish to give to her a desirable table that would seat four. For a moment she forgot her shyness and self-consciousness and turned to the pompous head waiter with blazing eyes. “Do you mean that every vacant table on this terrace is taken?” "Yes, madame; but I will give you a table Inside.” With flaming cheeks Helen turned to leave the place. She felt that everyone wa? looking at her. Oh why bad she come here? Why had she subjected hereelf to his embar rassment ? "I AM unfortunate! This Is one of the ‘unexpected pleasures' that don’t often happen " Startled, Helen turned to And be side her the man she had met In the Ivouvre.. He* looked even taller and I more distinguished than *he had re membered him. With increased con tusion she murmured some almost in audible greeting. "Please don’t say that you’ve al- readv had your tea?” "No, I—I—” Helen’s eyes were still ablass. "the waiter just told me all the^o tables were engaged.” "Which waiter said that?” he de manded quickly. I "The head waiter—the one that’s coming now," for that pompoun indi vidual was hastening toward them with a look of anxious concern. "Pierre, did you tell this ladv that all these tables were engaged?" "The lady did not say that she was having tea with anyone. Mr. Ford- ham, and 1 — you see. we are so crowded this afternoon,” apologeti cally. "and these tables neat four. If the lady had onh’ said—’’ Rut Mr Fordham cut him short with an imnatient. "Let us have serv ice here AT ONCE!” Before Helen realized It, thev were seated at the same table which she had been asked to leave a few mo ments ago. Put now both the waiter and head waiter were most solicitous in their attentions. Helen was still no furiously indig nant over the incident that she could think of nothing else. it was not until they had been served that she was really conscious that she was having tea with a stranger. Should she have made some ex cuse? Was It a very unconventional thing to do? Yet nhe could not help feeling grateful for having been re lieved from so embarrassing a posi tion. Just then a brass-buttoned bell r/ime up to their table. "You’re wanted on the phone, Mr. Fordham.” "Will you excuse me a moment?” turning to Helen. Her glance followed his tall, gray figure through the terrace and into the corridor. So he was staying here! That accounted for his being so well- known. and for his being treated with such solicitous courtesy — and his name was Fordham. Helen’s thoughts were in a whirl. Not since she was married had she dined or lunched or had tea with any man except Warren. Her glance fell on the straw hat .Aid stick on the chair beside her How like Warren’s. The same plain wood, crooked-handle stick, and even the maker’s name in the upturned hat was the Marne. She could hardly believe that it was not Warren who had been called to the phone. And the crumpled nap- Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women Cor set less, Co/larless Comfort as a Real Aid to Beauty Discussed by Louise Dresser kin beside his plate—the very way Warren alw'ayg threw down his nap kin.

I’m afraid that is cold.” "No—no," hastily. "I’ll not. hav* time. I only ramo in here to re*t for a few moments.” "Do you know,” again that per sonal note in his voice, "this Is the first time I’ve ever been on this ter race? I never take tea. I had Just come in and was going up to my room when something inado me come out here. What form of mental teleg raphy would you call that?” ’1 hardly think you can dignify it by so pretentious a name," flushed Helen. ”1 would call it merely a chance meeting.” With nervous Angers Helen was crumbling a bit of tea cake by her plate. The conversation was growing much too personal. Hhe was trying desperately to think of something to snv about her “husband” or "Mr Cur tis,” but she could think of noth ing that would sound natural. "It’s almost half-past five,” nerv ously taking up her gloves. "And I—” groping for an excuse, "I’ve an early dinner engagement." When tho waiter brought the check he signed It, and took up the hat and stick that looked so much like War ren’s. In a Hlcnce that was conscious and slightly strained they left the terrace and walked slowly through the now- crowded lounge rooms that led to the street. Helen felt the moment of parting was going to be an awkward one. She was trying to think how she could thank him in a very impersonal way. "My car Is outside,” ne aaid, quiet ly, "and I’m going to ask you to let me send you home. It will be quicker and more comfortable than a taxi.” "Oh. thank you." she said in hur ried confusion, "but I shouldn’t want I to trouble you to do that.” They were at the door now, he nodded to a liveried doorman, who blew a whistle, called out something in French, and the next moment a flittering private car har ked out from the line of waiting vehicles in the street and purred up to the door. Helen drew back protestingly. "Oh no—no. really I—” “Are you going to refuse me so slight a favor?” The doorman had run down the steps and was expectantly holding open the car door. Helen hesitated. To persist in refusing might seem more marked — as though she was making too much of a slight courtesy. "Of course. I shall he very glad—’’ she stammered, "only I don’t want to inconvenience you.” Gave Her Address. The next moment she was in the car. For an instant he held her hand, then gave her address to his chauf feur. nnd the car glided off. For the second time Helen bad the picture of this man standing back with raised hat, as she drove away. Rut the ride to her hotel in the big, luxurious touring car was anything but a pleasure. She could think only of her confusion nnd the awkward ness of the last few moments. How could she have refused th" car without being rude? Yet. sup pose she should meet Warren rh ahe drove up to the hotel—what would he think? Helen had not thought it necessary, when she had merely walked through a few picture galleries with a stranger, to mention tt. Rut to have tea with that same stranger and to be brought home In his car — that was different. Yet, after all. Mr. Fordham had simply been courteous as might any American to another in a foreign country. When they drew up to the bote!, Helen was conscious of a sense of relief that Warren was not in sight. Rut as she ran up the steps she de cided that she would tell him about the tea. He certainly would not misunder stand so trivial an incident, and sho would feel more comfortable If ho knew. I ' USED to wonder 1f the man who wrote ”Oh, You Great Big Beau tiful Doll” had visions of Louise Dresser the while the Muse burned—• but that was before I had talked 'O Louise Dresser. For no great big beautiful doll is the stunning blonde Louise, but a sane, thoughtful and altogether very womanly woman. "Beauty is a somewhat overrated asset of the feminine bank account,,’* said MIrk Dresser in answer to my plea for "secrets." "Whenever any one starts a discussion of it, I think of a friend from the West, went abroad to feast h£r eyes on the beau ties of Westminster Abbey and the Italian lakes, and all the eager little knowledge seekers in her home town kept writing to her to be sure to And out the latest methods of flesh reduc tion and hair retention and complex ion beautification!

"YYY begin with my very pet hobby — comfort—C-O-M-F-O-R-T. Please have that put In the biggest type there is—for it is so important.

Miss Dresser in a charming ^ose. "From comfort to health is a sim ple step, with outdoor life and sensi bly chosen food to aid and abet in the search for preservation of health. If you are comfortable and healthy, you can easily cultivate calmness, and if you are calm, you won’t let yourself get flustered and flurried about what happened yesterday or may happen to-morrow. You will learn to Just live one day at a time and to get all the Joy and work and sweetness possible in and out of tho day. “Then, with the first four points mastered, you will feel so young and happy and ‘springy’—instead of all shaken down into a rut—that it won’t be a very difficult task to cultivate charm of manner. And that is the greatest aid to beauty I know. You never realize that a plain looking woman is almost homely if she is charmingly courteous and sympa thetic and sweet-manneredly uncon scious of herself and interested in you. Charm of manner and becoming clothes that bring out a clear com plexion or cast a merciful glow over a dull one—and a homely woman sometimes manages to look more at tractive than her pretty sister who is wearing the particular color that made some other girl she knows lo >k smart, but that is guaranteed to make her look her worst.” Try the three “C’s”—COMFORT.

A N early summer morning an old man was walking along the road between Brussels and Na mur. He was waiting for the stage coach, and. as it did not come in time, he had set out to meet it. As he had plenty of time, he care fully observed anything that met nls eyes. At last he stopped to look at a painter who was standing on a ladder painting an appropriate sign for the inn of "The Rising Sun.” "I am sure,” the old man thought, "that fellow' considers himself the equal of Rubens, though he probably knows no more about perspective than a field mouse. Good Lord, how he puts on the skyblue paint!" He began to walk up and down in front of the inn, as he might as well wait for the stage there as anywhere else. In the meantime the painter continued to put on blue paint, which irritated the old man awfully. When the painter once more dipped his brush in the blue paint, be could stand it no longer and growled quite aloud. "Too much blue." The painter stared at him from the top of his ladder and said very calm ly: "I suppose you don’t see I am paint ing a sky." "Of course. I see that you are trying to paint a sky, but you use too much blue, anyway.” "Did you ever see a sky?” "Yes, but never a sky like that, I am sure." "But this is supposed to be a clear blue sky at sunrise.” “And I tell you that nobody but a fool would think of painting a sky blue at sunrise.” "I suppose you know all about It and you would paint a sky without any blue.” "I never said I was a past master in the art of painting skies, but I would certainly never use as much blue ae jou -do.” "Oh, you JuFt keep your remarks to yourself, you old fool. I have painted signs for ‘The Red Horse,’ ‘The Green Bear’ and ‘Charlemagne,’ so I should think I know my business.” "I don’t care anything about your ‘Green Bear’ and ‘Red Horse’ ani ‘Charlemagne.’ ” With these words the old man ran up the ladder as nimbly as if he had been 40 years younger and began to wipe off the painting. The painter shook the ladder and shouted to him to come down at once, but the man continued his work of de struction. Havin~ destroyed the won derful blue sky. he used his index fin ger and painted thxed peasants raising their glasses to a rising sun on a gray sky. One of the peasants was a vicious caricature of the painter at the foot of the ladder. Another Interferes. A number of people had come out from the inn. among these the inn keeper. and when Uiey saw the pic ture they laughed ;noyd. The painter suddenly changed tune, took the old man’s hand, and said; "1 see you are a professional, and I am very glad to make your ac quaintance.” Just then a man who looked like an English tourist came up, looked at the sign, and said: "I want that sign: name your own price.” "It is not for sale." said the painter, in a tone as if he had painted it him self. "That is right,” said the innkeeper; “it is not for sale, for it is already sold and partly paid for. It is my prop erty.” “You are very much mistaken,” said the sign painter. "My comrade has helped me to paint it and I may sell it to anybody I please.” "Nonsense," said the innkeeper; "it hangs on my house, so it is my prop erty.” "You will have to P5pv« that in court,” f "I will sue you for breach of con tract.” “YValt a moment,” said a strong voice. It was the old man. “It seems to me I ought to have a w’ord in this matter.” "Right you are, comrade,” said the sign painter. They continued quarreling, and the Englishman repeated his offer to cov er the painting with $5 bills. "But suppose I don’t want to sell it,” said the real painter. "You must,” said the innkeeper. "1 am a poor man. You must let me have the profit.” "Don’t you believe him.” cried the sign painter "He is an old miser, while I am the father of a family and you and I are colleagues.” "He is an old loafer who spends every cent he makes, so he has not a copper for his daughter’s dowry." “That L-* a lie. My daughter Su- zette is engaged to an honest carpen ter who is to marry her in Septem ber.” "A daughter that needs a dowry," cried the old man. "That is some thing for me. I sell the sign and you get the money for your daughter’s dowry.” “I will pay any amount you say.” said the Englishman, "if you will paint two words on the picture." "And what are those words?" "Pierre David.” Everybody arose and the sign paint er bowed his head to the great artist. "Forgive my impudence,” he said. "I did not know yo6.” Pierre David shook his head and laughed heartily. The news of his presence spread quickly and Pierre David drank a glass with all of them. At last the sign painter’s daughter came, threw her arms around the fa mous artist's neck, and kised him squarelj on the mouth. "You have paid me more than full value for my work."

English tr^alAtlon tn4 compilation by (Copyrighted. 1*13. by International News BrrScm-)- TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. I N Canada Allan found peace. No one knew where he was. He had dropped completely out of sight. This naturally gave rise to the re port that he had gone the way of Wolf and Ranson, and as he never denied it, thousands believed that he had killed himself. But those who worked In more or less contact with the great chief of the tunnel laughed at the rumors. They declared he would turn up again when he thought the right time had come. And, indeed, he turned up very much sooner than was expected. Miss Lloyd was not entirely cor rect In her statement that New York had calmed down. It had not calmed—it had concentrated. Tho failure of the syndicate did not have the far-reaching effect that Lloyd and the others had predicted. This was due largely to the fact that condi tions were so bad at the time that nothing mattered much. Allan had not been the sole factor in bringing these conditions about. Nor had the tunnel been the sole factor But. as is always the case, the most shining mark was picked for the weight of the blame. The newspapers, anxious to clear the tunnel enterprise itself of the load of discredit under w'hich it was buried, concentrated their attack cn Allan. Daily they declared that Allan, and Allan alone, was responsible for the failure—that he had given out mis leading figures—that he had made miscalculations—that he had delib erately deluded Investors. In seven years the tunnel w-as not one-third complete, and he had promised the finished work in fifteen. They continued the merciless ham mering until finally Allan wag indict ed for obtaining money under false pretenses. Three days later Allan arrived in New York and walked into the Dis trict Attorney’s olfice and surren dered himself. This was the first sensation. The second, to those who understood the tunnel situation, was even more im portant. The first offer of bail came from Lloyd, personally. The fact had hardly become known when the re ceiver of the syndicate also offered to become a bondsman. The public was amazed. It was a right about face for the tunnel masters. They had for months given every indica tion that they intended throwing Al lan to the wolves, and the moment he was about to be crushed they were first to come to his aid. To do them justice, or injustice, they had fully intended to adhere to the original course and let Allan sink. Even Lloyd felt that it would be best to eliminate him. He never al lowed personal likings or obligations to weigh against a business necessi ty. But the great financier reck oned without his daughter, now' a woman of past 30, and the one human being that he feared. In one evening’s talk she had forced her father into his reversal of position on the tunnel builder, and, of course, the others had to follow' his lead. But Allan declined bail. He ex plained that he was not ungrateful, but that he would find more rest and quiet in the city prison than any- w'here else in the State; and he had <a lot of work to do, he said. All the time he was awaiting trial he worked on his plan to drive a single gallery as a pathfinder for the completed tunnel. The Trial. The trial lasted three weeks, and it was followed in detail all over the world. Lloyd retained the best crim inal lawyers he could find to defend the accused man, and six of the most powerful legal intellects in the world w’ere ranged behind him in the battle against the machinery of Justice. Much of the testimony was too highly technical to be understood by the casual newspaper reader, but ail of it was printed. Ethel Lloyd’s pic ture appeared in the papers dozens of times. She did not miss an hour of the trial and followed every move with keen understanding. The prosecution maintained that Allan had wilfully and knowingly in duced investors to part with their money on the assurance that the tun nel would be in successful and profit able operation within fifteen years. It was now conceded that this w’as impossible. The State contended that Allan had known from the beginning that this was impossible, and it in troduced plenty of expert and cir cumstantial evidence to back up its case. The defense was that Allan had planned to finish the tunnel in all good faith within the time limit set, but he had been thwarted by acts of God, which could not be foreseen by man. In spite of the tremendous pres sure of public opinion it is likely that Allan would have been acquitted but for hie uncompromising frankness. This was his undoing on cross- examinatiofl. The courtroom was jammed to the doors when Allan took the stand in his own defense. The direct exami nation was quiet but impressive and brought out the almost superhuman efforts of Allan and his field officers to overcome tremendous and unex pected difficulties. Many in the audi ence were beginning to look at him with new sympathy when the District Attorney began his questions. "Mr. Allan," he said, "you pledged yourself to have the tunnel running In fifteen years, did you not?” “It would amount to that—a pledge. I mean.” conceded the witness, with out the slightest hesitation. His law yers frowned. "That meant that you were to have regular trains running through the tunnel at the expiration of the fif teenth year?” “Yes.” "You were convinced that you would be able to finish the construc tion Inside of that period of time?” Instead of replying with a simple affirmative, Allan amazed his law yers and the audience w’ith this re ply: "I was not exactly convinced. That is too strong a word. I hoped that under favorable circumstances we w'ould be able to complete the work In that time, or possibly even a little less.” "Then In making this pledge you depended upon favorable circum stances ?’’ Instantly a short, round man who sat at the head of Allan’s counsel thrust in an objection. It had taken him these few' seconds to rally him self after the shock of Allan’s pre vious answer. He was John Sands, the most celebrated trial lawyer in the world. "I object," he snapped. "The wit ness has answered the question.” "Overruled,” declared the court. Impassively. Another Objection. The District Attorney repeated his question. Allan hesitated an instant, as if to frame his answer. "I was, of course, aware that un foreseen difficulties might arise," he said, slowly. "I knew that under cer tain circumstances that construction work might take two or possibly three years longer." "You were, then, as a matter of fact, convinced that the work would I probably take tw r o or three years longer?" concluded the prosecutor. Mr. Sands w'as on his feet in an in stant, his little stubby white beard thrust out. "Your honor," he almost snarled, "I object to this line of questioning. The witness has already said that he be lieved the work could be done in fif teen years." "That’s just exactly w’hat he hasn’t said,” retorted the District Attorney. "The objection is overruled; pro ceed," said the judge. He ordered the question read from the notes and courteously requested Allan to an swer it. "I didn’t say that I was convinced that it could not be done in that time. On the contrary, I hoped to be able to do It—if all went well.” "If you were certain that you could finish the tunnel ” began the pros ecutor. Then he stopped and began again: "I am sure from your testi mony here, Mr. Allan, and from all that we have heard of you, you pride yourself on being a man of your word ?’’ "I do." L tha IEN, if you w'ere not certain that you could not finish the tunnel in fifteen years—if you knew that you could not finish it in that time unless all the circumstances were favorable, w'hy did you make the positive statement that you cou.d do it?’’ “I object,” shouted Mr. Sands, and Allen’s entire array of counsel ro39 en masse behind him. The court listened patiently while Mr. Sands argued for ten minutes and fenced and snapped at the District Attorney. Then: "The question Is perfectly proper,” he ruled. More Admissions. "Grumbling angrily. Allan’s counsel retired to their table, w'hile the sea- ographer read the question again. For the first time Allan looked Just a trifle uncomfortable. The anxiety of hie lawyers probably caused this ajs much as his own realization of the direction in which the question was leading. He stumbled and hesitated and the District Attorney cut In sharply. "A 8 a mattef* of fact, Mr. Allan," ho cried, "you named fifteen years be cause you thought it would be easier :o start your project if you fixed a comparatively short time-limit, didn’t you ?" Again there w'as a chorus of ob jection*, and again Allan was ordered, to answer. "I suppose that had something to do with it,” he admitted, in a low, even voice. The District Attorney threw a quick look of triumph about the court. "You knew that people would in vest more readily If you gave your pledge that the work would be com pleted In fifteen years than if you said it might take eighteen or twenty or twenty-five—that you couldn't tell how long it would take? lent that so?" "I suppose It Is.” The District Attorney turned to the court in triumph. “The people rest,” he said. Mr. Sands instantly swept into a loud-voiced re-direct examination of the witness, but he could not get past the stumbling block of that first damaging admission that Allan had not been convinced that he coud finish the tunnel within tfc* time limit set; and the case went to the Jury. The jury was out three hours. It returned a verdict of guilty. To Be Continued To-morrow. “I THINK we’ll have to move out into the country, away from these rough neighbors!” sigh ed Sammy’s mother. "I thought when we moved out into this really nice suburb we’d be able to live in peace, but truly, the children are w'orse than ever! Sammy’s language is painful, at times!” Sammy’s mother hurried to the window as a shriek of anger rent the air. “Yes, there It is again! There’s poor little Sammy, who never knew what fighting meant, right In the thick of it! And just look—all those boys attacking my poor child!” She ran downstairs. "Boys," she cafied, breathlessly. "You stop that this minute! Sammy, come here to mother!’’ She ran out into the street to meet her offspring, who slow’ly came toward her, walk ing backward, making grimaces at his enemies. “He slapped my brother!" declared one boy to Sammy’s mother. "Don’t talk to me!” Indignation rang In Sammy's mother’s tone. "I saw you—a lot of young cowards— actually pitching upon one little boy!” "Aw, he’s older than all of us!" re turned the champion of his brother. Sammy and his mother returned triumphantly to the caller. “They were fighting—a lot of them attack ing Sammy,’’ explained Sammy’s mother. "And he’s not been brought up to that sort of thing—poor child! ‘Til just have to go out where Sammy will be away from them! City children are all alike—you don’t know' w'hat to think of their parents! Now, I’ve always tried to bring Sam my up with a thought to his future. The Remedy. "Sammy, dear.” She turned to her r son. "Run out, now. It’s not good for little boys to listen to people praising them.” "Aw. I’m tired, and my leg hurts,” responded Sammy, pulling dow'n his stocking to examine the trouble. "Sammy, dear, it’s not polite to do that before company,’’ expostulated his mother, gently, casting a smiling side glance at her caller. "It don’t hurt her none,” returned Sammy, earnestly searching for the wound. "Those darn kids, anyway— they kick!” He found the spot that felt sore. “Feel that, ma!" he urged, putting his shoe on her lap. "Yes, dear, mother’ll dress It for you soon. She spoke soothingly. “Gee. the kids are a bunch of softies,” disgustedly remarked Sammy to the caller. "They’re afraid to meet me alone, but they go get all their brothers and friends to help—and no w'onder the bunch can lick me. But I could do up any one of them single handed! They" "Sammy!” His mother spoke in a shocked tone. "Why will you repeat all those awful things you learn on the streets!" Sammy laughed, glancing apprecia tively at the caller. "Why, ma,” he said, "the bunch in this neighborhood don’t know what I mean when I talk plain English, they’re so flossy! They teach me! Huh, I could teach their father’s a few things!” "You see, we’ll have to move!" al most wept Sammy’s mother. "Sammy always was so good—until he began going to school and meeting other children. He’s so unselfish, and they take advantage of it, until he has to take a stand, poor child! He ought to be out with the flowers and birds —his sensitive nature is being ruined here!” She sighed again. "Yes,” agreed the caller, taking her purse from Sammy, who held It sug gestively. “It would be splendid if one could isolate such children!"
