SYNOPEIE.
Mabe! Vere, an author, who is en
gaged to Gerald Wantage, decides to
advertise for a husband just to get
some “good copy” for a novel. She
has several applicants—the first, a
man from Australia who 1% dictato
rial and insistent. Mabel's athletic
friend, Maud, is listening at the door,
and she enters and with an exhibi
tion of jiu jiteu hurls the applicant
to the floor. Then Mabel walts for
the next, Her flance comes In and
discovers what she has been doing.
He is greatly shocked.
Novelized from the Shubert pro
duction by Cyril Harcourt, now run
ning at Maxine Elliott's Theater,
New Yg'rk, Copyright, 1816, Interna
tional News Service.
By ANN LISLE.
“IVE been advertising for a hus
band. These are some of the
answers,” sald Mabel care
lessly.
Gerald uncrossed his gray striped
right leg over his gray striped left
leg and rearranged his position,
“I'm afraid I'm dense. Whose hus
band 7
Mabel looked at me. There was an
appeal back of the twinkle in those
Inscrutable eyes and the pucker to
her pretty red lips. But I was ada
mant. She had to answer for her
+« self. “Mine.”
“Will you tell me what she's talk
ing about Miss Bray. It may be very
amusing, but T don't understand, My
intellect is only ordinary.” |
But it was Mabel's advertisement.
So I insisted that she read him her
own honeyed words. I think she ul-‘
most enjoyed giving Gerald the hene- ‘
fit of that notice from the Dally
Sphere: “Wanted: A gentleman of
marriageable age with moderate in
come, excellent health and very good
looks, desires to correspond with a
clean, attractive bachelor of nrtmlo;
tastes and intelligence,” with a view
to matrimony. Apply Miss X, box
1742, ete” |
“lI am Miss X."
A New Method,
“And this is a new method of pro
viding myself with a plot for a new
book. What do you think of 1t?"
Gerald rose and took two majes
tic steps toward her. The Judge
towered over me exactly that way
when he sentenced me to Holloway.
“Do you mean to say you'va de
cended to this sort of thing, Mabel?"
demanded Gerald. ‘
“Obviously. Here is the ldvortiu-‘
ment."” |
I wanted to applaud Mabel. She
stood up to him so well,
“Let me look at that, please. 1
thought so. I've seen this advertise
ment before,” pronouncad Gerald, the
Judge.” 3
“Where?" 1
“At the club, and I consider it sim
ply preposterous!”
At twenty-nine one doesn't glggle.
But I think Mabe! rather wanted to,
“Preposterous or not, it's effective.
You haven't answered the advertise
,ment by any chance, have you? This
righteous indignation rather points
to it.”
Of course, Gerald, being Gerald, got
angry then. Righteous indignation
it was. “I have not! But men of my
acquaintance have.”
“What? Oh, 1 say, what a lark.
Who are they, Gerald?"
“Men at the clud." Gerald took
another two steps. Oh, 1t was very
impressive. “If Miss Bray will ex
use us'—ee

“Oh, certainly,” sald 1.
“Hook it, Maud! I'm in for a bad
ten minutes,” sald Mabel.
I didn't quite know whether she
wanted me to laugh or cry,
I went at once, but T got in the
last word: “Right-0, Call out if you
want help."”
That time T djdn’t listen at the
keyhole, Mab told me about it when
we were brushing our hair that night,
But I'll put it in here. 1 don’t
know {f this {s how people who write
books would tell it; but T always
think things make better sense if
you write them along in the order of
their happening.
; Mab cried a little when she old
me how Gerald ragged her over the
notice and-her writing books and the
whole performance, She confessed
that ‘she missed going to dances and
playing golf terribly. Gerald was
taking his money-making so seri.
ously! She said she'd asked him to
take her to Covent Garden to dance
till they were half dead. l
Mab did so want to be voung, and
was always remembering how quickly
one got old. Then Gerald told her
he didn't approve of dancing in Lent!
But the point of the whole thing was
the men at the club.
They'd been making bets about
the sort of woman she was and
whether she'd answer their letters
Gerald sald he'd leave what they
meant by THAT to her imagination
~—and Mab grinned as she told me
her reply-—" Thank Heaven 1 haven't
got the imagination of a man.”
The Next Applicant.
It would seem better if she had,
or, at least, if she had been able to
imagine how the imagination of a
man worked, However——
Now that I've put that In as it hap.
pened, we come directly to the next
of Mabel's applicants to arrive. He
came in very solemnly just after
Gerald went out In & huff. He
rather reminded me of a green-grocer
in mourning for his “late lamented.”
He was a solemn person with pom
aded black halr parted in the middle
and side whiskers and a general air
of living up to his best coat. He had
a deferential, menial air and intro
duced himself ‘as “Robert 'Enery
Sholto’ Adams, Miss. Baptized regu
l‘r'u .
~ Mah looked frightfully amused as
she answered: “Oh, | see. Thank
you very much.”
Meek and Unectuous.
+ 1 got it all via the keyhole. He
was very meek and unctuous, but he
seemad a little disappointed when he
found out that Mab was really Miss
X, and he couldn’t quite refrain from
commenting on her letter, “Well,
Miss, it read veéry sensible like, in
the manner of speakin’, what with me
‘being a man wistful to settle down as
you might say. But 1 don't know
1u you're quite the sort of young per
son as I expected to see.”
“Oh, dear. I'm sorry if I'm a dis
appointment as soon as this; that's
& very bad beginning, isn't it?" asked
Mab.
She managed to keep a perfectly
’straixht face as she rushed over to
Gier desk and began taking notes most
industriously.
Mr. Adams_ confided that it was a
young person in business he expected
to see, or something o' that. And
Mab informed him that she did writ
ing work.
Mr. Adams decided that she was a
“secketary” and went on to confide
that he'd been popular with the la
dies from boy'ood in the manner re
quired and that 'e 'oped he was at
tractive as 'er advertisement 'ad re
quired and that 'e 'oped 'e was clean
since ‘e took a 'ot bath of a SBaturday
night year in and year out, winter
and summer, except when suffering
from a cold in the ‘'ead, when ‘e
wouldn't put water to the body hit
you was to hoffer 'lm & ten pound
note.
It was fun to see Mab scribbling
Aaway as Adams gave her his points.
Next it came out that he was a but
ler along with a bachelor gentleman
at present. “‘arf butler, 'arf valet as
you might say. In a small way ‘e Is,
tut 'a pays ‘igh, very 'igh, owing to
the smalllsh accommodations. Four
servants kept. Away a goodish bit
‘e Is, mountaineering and such like.”
Gerald has said that Madel would
sell her soul for copy. And It looked
to me as if she'd sell her dignity.
For the brazen minx actually asked
Adams what he proposed when he left
his place if they—if they married, It
came to that.

‘The rogress
g of Light l
TH!: first known method of pro
ducing a “light' was by the labo
rious process of friction, the
rubbing of one dry plece of wood against
another. It is said that savages noticed
that forest fires occurred during wind,
and observation showed them that it
was the “sawing” of branch againast
branch that caused the flames. Hence
the “‘friction” light. .
The flint and steel and tinder box su
perseded wood friction, and that im
provement was also due to observation.
It was seen that the chipping of fiints
for arrowheads produced sparks, and
hence the evolution of the flint, steel
and tinder “lighter"
After a series of attempts, crude fore
runners of the automatio lighter of to
day, came the “sulphur” match. This,
however, was not complete in {tself. The
tip, made of a paste of chlorate of pot
ash, sulphur, colophony, vermilion and
gum, had to be dipped into a bomq‘
containing sulphuric acld and rapidly
withdrawn An explcsive flame was
thereby generated which set fire to the
match.
The next mateh was made with a tip
of chiorate of potash, sugar and gum,
and the suiphuric acid—necessary to
make it fire-~was, with some of the
paste, in & glass bead This cumbrous
method was superseded in 1832 Ly the
friction match proper.
It was ignited by being drawn through
folded sandpaper. This was a phosphor
us match, and Was but a variation of
the “friction” principle. These matches
re dangerous and polsonous.
After a time came the safety match
as we know it, A change in the phos
phorus brought about the “safety” to
the workers and the users.
:: The Manicure Lady ::
By WILLIAM F, KIRK,
FOUND a cent in the Subway
I this morning.”’ esald the Mani
cure Lady, “and I guess I'm
going to be lucky this summer.”
"I hope sO,” said the Head Barber. “I
wish you had found a hundred-case
note."
“That's awful sweet of you George,"
sald the Manicure Lady, “and that's
one of the finest reasons for loving life,
to know that your friends don't wish
no bad luck on you Goodness knows,
George, it's a good thing they don't,
with all the bad luck lying around so
clpse to us we have hard work dodging
it. I'm going to keep that cent for a
lucky plece.”
‘1 done that for a week once with “
cent,” said the Head Barber, “and cv-i
erything broke wrong the whole week.
l)‘y wife got neuralgia that week, and 1
twisted my ankle, and a 16t of other
things seemed to come off all at once.
I fired the cent in the Hudson, and 1
Buess it's there yet™
“I think it's sinful to throw money in
a vciver,”” sald the Manicure Lady,
“Thank goodness I don't know how to
throw. But, anyhgw, eorge, speaking
about luck. maybe, after all, life is just
what you make it. Life is real and
the grave ain't its ,oal
““As them old poets used to say, ‘Why
should the spirits of mortals be loud?”
We ought to go something every day to
make other folks happy. Sometimes I
feel 80 happy that I wish somebody
else could have part of that happiness.
Maybe .t.htt’- why I keep all the time
“Maybe,” sald the Head Barber.

habit is not weighted with lead and her back is not twisted in a wicked
question mark when she rides her little gray. Thanks be! So say the
horse and the girl. —NELL BRINKLEY.
“There must be some reason. I wish
1 had a dollar for every word you ever
spieled in this grand old barber shop.”
“But it ain’t done you no real good,
all my talk,” said the Manicure Lady.
“You don't get no new ideas, George.
Shaving gents and . betting on horses
and talking baseball--that's you today,
tomorrow and all the time.” ‘
“There's worse things to be think
ing about,” sald the Head Barber. “I
always liked them outdoor sports.”
“Outdoor sports is all right,” saild the
Manicure Lady. ““which is more than 1
can say for some of the indoor sports
that makes bets on them. But anyvhow,
‘#peaking about that cent 1 found I
ought to draw a little good luck if I
don't lose it. There is a gent going to
call on me up home tonight, and they
say he comes from a awful fine family.
‘““He has been kind of hinting about
marr¥ing and settling down, and any
thing he has got to say on that subject
will be listened to by me very atten
tive llke. Believe me, George, I won't
interrupt him."
“I'd like to see you married happy,”
sald the Head Barber, “but it would
be awful lonesome aroufd hére with
out you. I wouldn't have nobody except
my customers to talk to. I'd be lone
some."’
“That would be tough, George.” said
the Manijcure Lady, “but I won't be
thinking about that if I get a chance to
listen to a proposal. I'll be thinking
about the quickest way to say yes.'
“Marriage i& a lottery,” sald the Head
Barber “You take a chance.'
“When the chance comes, you do"
said the Manicure Lady, “and when my
chance comes, Gegrge, I shall be brave,"

perfectly well. But there was an
unsatisfied something in her hea‘t
that she cofild not explain. At
breakfast she looked curiously
across at Warren and for the first
time'gince she could remember her
eyes were critical.
She noticed that his tie was care
lessly tied. He was wearing one she
did not like and a collar that was
not beccming. ‘Sha glanced up at
his hair and noticed that it was
thinning a little. Then she began
to wonder if she loved Warren. At
this thought she laughed. How ab
surd. Love Warren, of course she
did. And at that moment Warren
looked up and met her speculative
eyes.
He grinned good-naturedly, “Why
the close =zcrutiny?' he inquired
lazily.
“I wag Jjust thinking,” Helen re
sponded absently.
“What about?”
“About lots of things.” And War
ren with a grunt at her unsatisfac
togy explanation, turned back to the
perusal of his paper.
“Anything in the paper?” lnquiredl
Helen.
“Nothing much. How would yvou
like to go for a little spin this after
noon?” {
As a general rule Helen would have |
responded eagerly to the Invnatlon,‘
but this morning her heart did not‘
leap esctatically at the prospect of
a drive with Warren, |
“All right,” she said indifferently.
“What's the matter with you?" |
“Oh, nothing, Warren. I have a
headache, that's all."”
“That's enough. Well, the drive
ought to do you good. Tell Mary wa
won't be home to dinner and we'll
gtop on the road somewhere.”
Warren was tco busy folding his
paper and getting up from the table
to notie» that Helen said nothing
mere. Helen herself was surprised
at the fact that she felt no elation
at Warren's agreeable humor. She
was always wanting him to show her
more attneitno. She spent plenty
of time wishing that Warren were
more like other men that she knew,
and this morning everything seemed
different. She could not understand
‘herself.
| Helen Goes Out. .
’ After Warren had departed, Helen
Heft her room work and dressed hasti
ly. She would take a long walk in
the sunshine and then drop In and
see some one. That would cheer her
up, and by the time lunch was ready
she would ba more like herself. It
would never do to be grumpy and in
difforent that afternoon.
She dressed carefully and went
down in the elevator. As soon as she
emerged into the glare of the street
the sultriness of the day made it ap
pear close and hot out. She walked
slowly, but she grew warm anyway,
and she finally decided to take a bus
downtown and run in on Anne and
Frances. /
In the tiny apartment where Anne
and Frances were living the reoms
were hardly big enough to turn about
in.* Frances herself, arrayed in a fan
tastic yellowish smock of some soft
material, opened the door to Helen
and held the door wide for her to
lenter.
“Well, stranger,” sha said merrily,
“I thought you were never coming to
see us again.”
“Frances dear, how nica it {z in
here.”
“What, in 3:1. little box of a place!
Why, I can hardly breathe, let alone
write. Here, come over and sit down
and tell me all about yourself.”
“Where {8 Anne?”’
“Oh, as usual, buying things to sew
on this Summer. She leaves in two
weeks."”
“Is she as much in love as ever?"

“Is she? Well, T should may so,
But what's the matter, Helen; you
seem out of sorts this morning.”
“I am, and I don't knew whait's ths
matter with me.”
“How do you feel?” :
“Oh, as if I'd like to get away: from
home for a while, Warren,”—and shs
hesitated,
Frances smiied sympathetfeally,
“I know,” she ventured. “Go on, and
say it. Warren is too omnipresent,
That's what you mean, {sn't it?
“Well, something qf the kind. Do
women tire of their husbands, Fran
ces? I mean do they just weary of
them naturally without an apparent

“Is that what is worrying yout? Ot
course, they do. Every woman some
time in her life wishes that Bhe had
never been married. It's a Ppsycho
logical factor, but nothlnfi to worry
about. lam writing a, story thig min
ute where the wife does that very
thing. You see there comes a time in
every woman’s life when if things are
running too smooihly and she is tol
erably happy that something . ought
to happen for her to worry about. A
woman is happiest when she is wor
rying.”

Helen smiled. “Hew do you hap- A
pen to know so much about life?” i
“Just living, I guess,” sald Fran- i
ces, wrinkling up her forehead. P
“Don’t you worry, Helen. Just be as 3
dear as you can to Warren, and it
won’t be long before things will come 3
'out all right. The thing to do is to |
get something interesting to do for 1
some one clse, so that you can forget
all about yourself.”
“I'm busy enough—l have a home
to take care of, and a baby to plan
for.”
“I know you think you have,” re
sponded Frances. “But your home
is managed pretty well by a compe
tent maid, your baby is healthy and '!
normal and gives You no trouble. ¢
For the most part you can amuse
yourself doing as you like the great
er part of the day. Isn't all this
true?” : *
“Yes,"” admitted Helen. r
“Of course it is, and there are hun- ]
dreds of other women just like you »
Women whose husbands make enough
to lift them dut of the toiler's class
haven't enough physical labor to do
to keep their active minds out of the
danger zone. Take my advice, Hel

interest. It will do you good and in- ‘1
cidentally Warren will be benefited.” |
“What kind of an outside inter- 1
est?” \ .
“Oh, just something to take up
your leisure time. You might aven
