¢ SYNOPSIS.
: Mabel 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 is dictato
rial and Insistent. Mahel's athletic
friend, Maud, is listening at the door,
and she enters and with an exhihi
tion of jiu jitsu hurls the applicant
to the floor, Then Mabel waits 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

€(TVE been advertising for a hus-
I 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.
*l'm afraid I'm dense. Whose hus
® band?”
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.
8o I insisted that she read him her
own honeyed words. I think she al
most enjoyed giving Gerald the bene
fit of that notice from the Dally
Sphere: “Wanted: A gentleman of
marriageabie age with moderate in
come, excellent health and very good
, Jooks, desires to correspond with a
clean, attractive bachelor of artistic
tastes and intelligence, with a view
to matrimony. Apply Miss X., box
1742, ote”
“I 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 it?"
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've de
cended to this sort of thing, Mabel ?"
demanded Gerald.
+ "Obviously, Here is the advertise
ment.”
1 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,” pronounced Gerald, the
Judge.”
“Where?"
“At the club, and I consider it sim
ply preposterous!”
At twenty-nine one doesn't giggle.
But I think Mabel rather wanted to.
“Preposterous or_npt, 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, I say, what a lark.
Who are they, Gerald?"
“Men at the club.” Gerald took
another two steps. Oh, 1t was very
fmpressive. "“If Miss Bray will ex

“Oh, certainly,” said I,
"Hook ft, Maud! I'm in for a bad
ten minutes,” gald Mabel.
I didn’t quite know whether she
wanted me to laugh or ery. -
I went at once, but I got in the
last word: “Right-0. Call out if you
want help,” iy
That time I didn't listen at the

you write them along in the order of

Mab cried a little when she old
me how Gerald ragg\od her over the
notice and her writing books and the
whole performance, She confessed
that she missed going to dances and
‘playlng golf terribly. Gerald was
taking his money-making so seri
ously! She sald she'd asked him to
take her to Covent Garden to dance
till they were half dead.
~ Mab did so want to be young, 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 grinaed as she told me
her reply—“ Thank Heaven I haven't
got the imagination of a man.”

It would seem better if she had,
or, at least, if she had been able to
imagine how the imagination of a

of Mabel's applicants to arrive. He
came In very solemnly just after
Gerald went out In a huff. He
rather reminded me of a green-grocer
in mourning for his "late lamented.”
He was a solemn person with pom

a deferential, menial air and intro

Mah looked frightfully amused as
she answered: “Oh, I see. Thank
You very much.”
Meek and Unctuous.
I got it all via the keyhole. He
was very meek and unctuous, but he
seemed a little disappointed when he
found“’a:t that Mab was really Miss
X, and he couldn't quite refrain from
commenting on her letter. “Well,
Miss, it reqd very sensible like, in
the manner of speakin’, what with me
being a man wistful to settle down as
you might say. But I don't know
as 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
2 very bad beginning, isn't it?" asked
Mab, :
She managed to keep a perfectly
straight face as she rushed over to
her 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

['he Progress|
of Light
T HE 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 sald that savages noticed
that forest fires occurred during wlnd.l
and observation showed them that it
was the “sawing” of branch against
branch that caused the flames. Hence
the ‘“‘friction” light. .
The flint and steel and tinder box su
perseded wood friction, and thlt, im
provement was also due to oburvnuon.!
It was seen that the chipping of flints
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 itself. The
tip, made of a paste of chlorate of pot
ash, sulphur, colophony, vermilion and
gum, had to be dipped into a bottle
containing sulphuric acid and rapidly
’whhdr‘wn. An expicsive flame was
thereby generated which set fire to the
mateh, :
The next match was made with a tip
of chlorate of potash, sugar and gum,
and the sulphurie acid-—necessary to
make it fire—was, with some of the
paste, in & glass bead. This cumbrous
method was superseded in 1832 by 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
were dangerous and poisonous.
After a time came the safety mateh
as we know it. A change In the phos
phorus brought about the “safety” to
the workess and the users.

Helen Finds That She Is Growing Critical of Warren’s
Appearance. :
Copyright, 1916, International News'
Service. £
ELEN awoke one morning with
H a strange teeling that she had
never had before. She hardly
knew how to analyze it, for she felt
perfectly well. But there was an
unsatisfied something in her heart
that she could not explain. At
breakfast she looked curiously
across at Warren and for the first
time since 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. She 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 scrutiny?” he inquired
lazily.
~ “1 was just thinking,” Helen re
sponded absently.
“What about?”
“About lots of things.” And War
ren with a grunt at her unsatisfac
tory explanation, turned back to the
perusal of his paper.
“Anything in the paper?” inquired
Helen. ”
“Nothing mugh. How would you
like to go for a little spin this after
noon?” .
As a general rule Helen would have
responded eagerly to the invitation,
but this morning her heart did not
leap esctatically at the prospect of
a drive with Warren.
“All right,” she sald indifferently.
“What's the matter with you?”
“Oh, nothing, Warren. 1 have a
headache, that's all.”
“That’'s enough. Well, the drive
ought to do yon goand. Tell Mary wa
won't be home to dinner and we’ll
stop on the road somewhere.”
Warren was too busy folding his
paper and getting up from the table
to noties that Helen said nothing
more. 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, Helan
left her room work and dressed hast!-
ly. She would take a long walk in
the synshine and then drop In and
&ee some one. That would cheer her
up, and by the time lunch was ready
she would ba more like herseif. It
would never do to be grumpy and in
different that afternocon.
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 bhus
downtown and run In on Anne and
Frances.
~ In the tiny apartment where Anne
and Frances were living the rooms
were hardly big enough to turn about
In. Frances herself, arrayed in a fan
tasfle yellowish smock of some soft
material, opened the door to Helen
‘and held the door wide for her to
enter.
“Well, stranger,” she sald merrily,
“I thought you were never coming to
see us again.” '
“Frances dear, how nice it ig in
here.” <
“What, In this 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 is 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, I should 88y gO,
But what’s the matter, Helen; yoy
seem out of sorts this morning.”
“I am, and I don’t know what’s the
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. i
Frances smiled sympathetically,
“I know,” she ventured. “Go on, and
say it. Warren is too omnipresent,
That's what ‘you mean, isn't ™
“Well, something of the kind, Do
women tire of their husbands, Fran.
ces? I mean do they just weary of
them naturally without an apparent
reason?”
“Is that what is worrying you? ot
course, they do. Every woman soms
time in her life wishes that she had
never been married. It's a psycho
logical factor, but nothing to worry
about. lam writing a story this 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 smoothly and she is tol
erably happy that something ought
to happen for her to worry about. Al
woman is happiest when she is wor
rying.” 2

Helen smiled. “How do you hap
‘ben to know so much about life?”
| “Just living, I guess,” sald Fran
ces, wrinkling up her forehead.
“Don’t you worry, Helen. Just be as
‘dear as you can to Warren, and it
won’t be iong befqre things will come
out all right. The thing to do is to
get something interesting to do for
'some one else, so that you can forget
‘all about yourself.”
- ‘'m busy enough—l have a homs
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 glves you no troudbls,
For the most part you can amuse
vourself doing as you like the great
er part of the day. Isn't all this
true?” x
“Yes,” admitted Helen.
“Of course it is, and there are hun
dreds of other women Just like you.
Women whose husbands make enough
to lift them out of the toller's class
haven't enough physical labor to do
to keep their active minds out of the
danger zone. Take my advice, Hel
en, and get some kind of an outside
interest. It will do you good and in
cidentally Warren will be benefited.”
“What kind of an outside inter
est?”
“Oh, just something to take up
your leisure time. You might even
make a little money; lots of women
do.”
And Frances after making this
audacious remark ‘sat back and
watched” Helen's amaszed face smil
ingly. @
