Their Married Life
A Narrative of Everyday Affairs
Helen Confides in the Wife of Warren's Friend and
(Fets an Idea.
(Copyright, 1917, International News
Service.)
EFORE Helen had taken Mrs. Tra-
B vers into the guest room and
had made her feel at home she
was sure that for once Warren had
proposed entertaining & woman who
was interesting. It was not that Mrs,
Travers possessed any qualities that
Healen's more interesting friends pos
sessed, but she was sweet and retir-
Ing,.and, most of all, sympathetic.
Helen felt that, unlike entertaining
Frances, this being pleasant to Mra.
Travers was a pleasure. With Fran
ces, Helen was compelled to stifie her
desire to talk about ordinary domestic
eoeurrences, This she occasionally
ifxed to do, but it became tiresome
o talk indefinitely about the things
that Frances was interested in. Helen
knew that shea oould not hope to ever
rival Frances in her particular fleld,
not' even in conversing about it, but
with Mrs. Travers it was different.
Mrs. Travers had two small chil
dren, one a little girl about Wini
fred's age, and she was eager to know
about Winifred's advancement, her
stu@lies, her home discipline and
evarything, in short, that Hsalen was
eager to talk about. By the time that
the two women went out to dinner
they had already discovered a great
many points in common.
Helen was her own natural self
during the meal. Bhe had never felt
80 completely surprised and pleased
as she was with Mra. Travers. She
actually looked forward to a pleasant
evening, but it wasn't until they were
all settled in the theater that Helen
thought of telling Mrs. Travers about
the thing that so disturbed her.
Helen had forgotten that Warren
had almost refused to take her to see
“The Lamp,"” she had forgotten ev
erything unpleasant in the genuine
pleasure of the occasion. The two
women chatted pleasantly through the
first Intermission, and by the time the
walt between the second and third
acts arrived Helen broached the sub-
Ject that was nearest her heart. After
a few perliminary sentences, she pro
ceeded to tell Mrs. Travers frankly
about the offer she had of a good po
sition and her final refusal of it; of
Warren's disapproval and her wish ta
compromise by entering a school and
taking a course in something.
° “And the funny part of it ils,” she
concluded, “now that Warren has giv
en his consant and actually agrees to
my doing this thing, I have lost all
interest.”
“That's natural enough,” sald Mrs.
Travers sympathetically. “A woman
s always that way, don't you think
g 0? Given her own way, she seldom
really wants t.”
“But you see, I don't know how to
tell Warren without making a fool of
myself. You don’'t know how he will
make fun of me.,"”
For the life of her Helen could not
understand why she was telling all
this to a comparative stranger. Why,
it was woman's talk of the most inti
mate kind, and yet Mrs. Travers
seemed interested, and she was such
a nice woman to confide in,
Household Suggestions
TO renovate a blue serge suit or
dress, mix two ounces of spirits of
wine and one of liquid ammonia. Soak
a plece of cloth or sponge In the
mixture and rud the serge. Allow to
dry, then press. To remove stains
from serge sults or dresses, place a
teaspoonful of borax In a quart of
clean oold wgter; boil for half an
hour, then pour into a bowl. When
luke warm, dip a sponge in the mix
ture and «ud the stains; then brush
over with a brush dipped in olean cold
water and press, placing a cloth over
the serge before ironing. Tv remove
shine from coats or dresses, dissolve
an ounce of rock ammonia and half
an ounce of white Caftile soap in a
pint of very hot water., When quite
dissolved, dip a eponge into the mix
ture and rubthe shiny places.

very cheap, and beats the most ex

‘ “Has he mentioned the subject since
you introduced {t?” Mrs. Travers
questioned.
“No, ha avoids it just as I do. If
lonly I had a legitimate reason for
telling him that after all I thought 1
| would not begin.”
“Why not tell him that you have
been advised not to begin a course in
the middle of the year?"”
“hat would ba simple enough,
wouldn't t?”
*1 ghould think so, yes, it certainly
sounds plausible.”
Helen felt strangely comforted, It
whas not 0 much what the woman had
gaid, but her very obvious interest and
sympathy went a long way toward
endowing her remarks with real wis
dom. Helen wondered why she had
not thought of so simple a solution
long before this.
“That's just what T shall do,” she
said finally. “I'll mention it casually
so that he won't dream that I havc
been thinking about it at all.”
“And in the meantime you might
interest yourself in something else
that will take up vour time. In the
fall the thing will have blown over
and he will have forgotten all about}
the fact that you ever mentioned it.”
The rise of the curtain at this mln—J
ute prevented further conversation
and its fall ended the play. l
" “How did you like 1t?”" said Warren
as he helped Helen on with her coat.
“Were you as pleased as you thought
you would be?"”
} “Yes, I thought it was splendid,”
Helen returned enthusiastically. “And
Mrs. Travers enjoyed it ever so much,
I'm so glad that we didn’t arrange to
see it before I met them.”
Warren stared at Helen with all a
man’s curiosity at a woman's sudden
change of mind, but he said nothing,;
there was really not time for it,
It wasn't until much later, after
they had all had a bite to eat, and
had returned to the apartment, that
Warren turned to Helen after they
were alone in their room.
“Well, I guess Mrs. Travers wun'tl
80 bad after all,” he remarked as he
pulled off his collar. ‘
“Oh, 1T llked her so much, dear,”
sald Helen, turning to him sweetly.
‘““There are very saw women of her
type, let me tell you."
“l 1 guess you're right. Nothing ex
citing or extraordinary about her, but
a good sort, I guess.” ! ‘
Helen smothered a quick <afense
of Mrs. Travers, knowing that War
ren's viewpoint was after all typlcally |
masculine. |
“Oh, by the way, dear,” she said,
smothering a yawn and trying to ap- |
pear indifferent. “I didn't tell you,
did 1, that they told me at the Art
School to walt until fall to begin my!
work? I'm really glad, because spring
is a bad time to begin anything.” |
} “I knew you'd be glad of a reason
‘to hedge before you started,” said
Warren wisely. “You're not as mod
ern as you pretend, are you, old girl?” |

| INSTALLMENT 6.
f HILLIP rose and opened the
| P door. Two men in the uniforms
i of Cuban policemen were walit
ing there, with Juan Lopez and the
}lanr]lurd in the background. Both os
| tensible officers of the law promptly
lenlered the room and desired Philip
1m dress and accompany them with
lull'. delay. By way of excuse for
{rheir action they exhibited an alleged
warrant for his arrest and examina
tion on ilnformation laid against him
by Count Ramon de Zoba, Prime Min
ister of Alania, accusing him of com
plicity in the theft of the crown jew-
I(-ln of that Kingdom.
Philip Not Dismayed.
This new thrust did not dismay
| Philip, He had been prepared for
'some Betback; overlong experience
‘with the ways of Ramon had har
!dennd him to the unexpected assault.
He accepted the situation with a
gesignation tempered by his Dbelief
that the charge must inevitably fall
to pleces under examination; he
would be free in good time to sail
for New York as arranged. And the
fact that Juan Lopez was not in-|
cluded in the charge was comforting;
no harm could come to Julia while
that one remalned to guard her—andj
was forewarned against any attempt
to kidnap her by knowledge that Ra-‘
mon had arrived in Havana and was
already at work.
Dressing expediously, he charged
Juan to leave hig post at the door to
Julia’s bedchamber under no circum
stances; to defend it at cost of life if
need b 6, Then quietly he went with
the officers, down the gallery to the
stairs, down these to the courtyard,
and out to the moonlit calls, where a
closed carriage walted, drawn by a
single horse.
The door to the carriage stood open
to recelve him. He was thrust in
roughly by one of the policemen,
who followed. The other joined the
driver on the box. Inside the carri
age Phillp made a new acqualntance
—Captain Romero, in fact, though
Philip was never to learn that gen
tleman’s name. It was Romero who
held a pistol to Philip's head, warning
him against the consequences of any
outery or attempt to escape, while
the pretended policeman handcuffed
‘him securely.
~ Thus began a ride of more than
two hours' duration. The carriage
made a poor pace. Hls ignorance of
local geography prevented Philip from
following its course., The windows
provided interminable vistas of nar
row streets bathed in the black and
gilver of the moonlit night,
These In time yielded to glimpses
of more open country.
~ The pistol in Romero's hand si
[lenced all implulses to expostulate,
‘plead or threaten.
Later the vehicle climbed a long
hillside and came out on lits crest,
then paused. Romero and the police
man g‘ot out, closed the door gnd
made it fast. The two men on the
box joined them at a little distance.
They conferred in discreetly guarded
accents; Philip could make nothing of
their communications. What they
intended to do with him remained a
baffling enigma.
If they meant to kill him, he did not
understand why they had so long de
layed. The carriage had plodded
through many miles of thinly popu
lated countryside, where the report
of a revolver would have dled un
remarked even if the assassins had
hesitated to employ the more silent
method of a knife slipped between the
}vlcflm‘n ribs.
He looked down stupidly at a steep
}doc.llvfl:y from the hilltop road to the
sea. There was a shimmer of moon
light on the waters. In a wide, rock
rimmed pool at the bottom he thought
to discern some sort of a commotion,
as though a school of fish were break
ing therein.
The Plans Perfected. .
Presently the plans of the assas
sins were agreed upon. Two began to
unhitech the horse. The others occu
pied themselves with pounding the
shafts with stones till they broke in
half, That seemed a futile sort of
amusement. Philip frowned in his
perplexify,
Then the earriage was maneuvered
round till {ts rear wheels left the
roadway and it began to slant on the
hillside. A perception of the fate
schemed for him flashed into Philip’s
brain, and he cried out. But as he
opened his lips the carriage was
released and it began to careen madly
down that steep place toward the
sea.
There was a minute or so of the
wildest and roughest flight. The hill
side was thickly sown with stones and
bowlders, great and small. The car
riage, gaining speed with every yard,
‘bounced and rocked like a chip in a
‘millrace. Philip was battered about in
his prison like a pea in a dried pod.
Of a sudden, striking a larger rock
than any yet, the vehicle leaped high
in the air and turned half over, com
ing down on its side with terrific force.
The door was bm!\:en open and Philipl
was cast forth, falling on a brief ledge

of rock at the edge of a pool and‘
striking his head a blow that rendered
him temporarily senseless. |
When he came to, some minutes
later, the man with the white mus
taches was bending over him-—having
climbed down the hillside. Two of
‘his creatures were following him
cautiously, still some distance up the
slope. He of the mustaches had a
pistol in his hand. Seeing Philip's
eyes move, he made as if to use it.
Desperately Philip kicked out, plant
ing a foot against the other’s chest.
With a scream, the man reeled back,
clutched at empty air, dropped his re
}volver, and disappeared from the
iledge, There was a great splashing
in the water, accompanied by shrieks
‘which ceased with startling sudden
ness. |
~ Instinetively Phillp put forth his
‘hands to help him rise. To his amaze
ment they were no longer handcuffed
together. In falling, one of the iron
cuffs had struck a rock with sufficient,
force to shatter it. The other remain-l
ed in place, with a dangling end of
chain. |
A Fight to the Death. ‘
Philip found himself upon his feet
barely in time to cope with the other‘
'a.ssass!ns. One was already upon him,
swinging a murderous long Kknife.
Philip ducked a lunge of this weapon
and struck him who wielded it sharp
ly on the side of the head, so that he,
too, was thrown off his balance and
plunged head foremost {nto the pool.
The remaining man turned to run,
but was stopped within a yard by a
bullet from the revolver dropped by
the first, which Philip fired as he
snatched it from the ledge at his feet.
The fourth was nowhere to be seen,

Silk Culture in Seville.
The production of silk, which in the
sixteenth and eighteenth centuries
formed prebably the most important of
Spain's industries, is being revived In
Seville. Four hundred years ago the
silks of Sevills, then the most famous
in the world, were exported to all coun
tries, for Bpain was the first nation of
Western Europe to take up silk culture.
The climate of Spain is excellent for
this industry, and fine silk worms such
as were emploved when silk cultivation
was at its height are available in the
foothills of the Sierra Nevada, near
Granada. This worm has a life of 50
days, during the first 30 of which It‘
grows to about 9500 tinies its original
weight. Ninety-six thousand small
eggs of the silk worm weigh one ounce.

{ The New Song Hit, ‘‘Sil- g
{ ver Bay,” Is Stirring %
3‘ the Country. ;
“Pine trees all along the shore,
Shining moon ahove us,
All nature seemed to love us,
How I'm yearning for that spot far
away—
Dear old Silver Bay!
" CHORUS:
“I lost my heart in the moonlight onl
Silver Bay!
You stole my love awap that night
in June;
We hummed a song
As we sailed merrily along,
All the world seemed to me to be in
tune.
You remember how I pined,
[ could not leave you behind;
I can’t forget when we met how I lost
my heart |
In the moonlight of Silver Bay!”
By Winifred Van Duzer.
O runs the new song hit “Silver
S Bay,” conjuring up a bygone
hour,
It is the cry of all the \world.
There’'s never a heart so happy that
Memory doesn’t conjure befors it the
ghost of greater happiness past.
There's never one so miserabls, so
wearled of life, that 1t wouldn't fl) on
ibeating through some beloved experi
ience. Memory is an insidious, iron
fingered, elusive, relentless, benignant
tyrant!
Life gives us our hour and ro
mance hangs it with violets. But the
hour slips away-—far away-—and only
Memory knows where.
Down the little windihg pathway of
years it vanishes, this bit of whisper
ing waves and of low-rung moon.
And of volce caressing.
“Give us back a by-gons hour!”
cries the world. “We are old and
weary; lonely and sad. But thers was
a space not tarnished by the com
monplace. To remember it iz to feel
again the witchery of youth. If we
can’t have June, at least give us the
rapture of retrospect!”
Thus we beseech Memory, who
holds the hour dear.
Now and again someone gives the
world something with which to in
voke the kindly tyrant; something
not to be gainsaid.
Such g bit of magic lles in “Silver
Bay.”
It plays all round the edges of your
not-to-be-forgotten hour. It searches
out the one or two things you love
best in that brief time and points
them to Memory; incfdents all but
lost in Long Ago suddenly are poign
antly real !
That's the reason you sing “Silver
Bay.” It's the reason that ballad is be
ing sung more than any other of its
kind just now; it qulets the yearning
for bygone happiness.
It {s sung In theaters and restau
rants, and men and women, gray
haired, nod together and smile. It is
crooned in the twilight while young
eyes shine. Because love desires noth
ing so much as more love. And the
lilt of the melody: woos love.
Man's natural tendency is to for
get; woman's is to remember. There
fore, Mr. Husband, “Silver Bay” is
the ideal song for you to sing to your
wife. It will assure her that you rec
ollect the beginning of your romance.
If you're not quite on old-time terms,
your tuneful assertion that
| “I can’t forget when we met how
I lost my heart,” no doubt will ad
just all differences and draw you
nearer together than you were in the
beginning. .
It’s the ideal song for you, Madame,
to sing to your indifferent spouse.
It will drive from his mind all thought
of being abdominous and bald. It will
send the years scurrying and he'll be
a slip of a youth again, making love
to you on the shore!
Be you young or old, poor or en
dowed with millions, you can't throw
off the charm of such Memory-in
voking magic. Should your recollec
tion be forced to travel backward
years and years, many as fifty per
haps, you'll again feel the thrill of
your hour. It may lack the back
ground of sentinel plnes and white
beach. It may not be more dramatic
| than a handclasp, But it's yours!
“When I dream of bygone days
Mem'ries go a-roaming.
I'm back thers in the gloaming,
Where the silver waters of the night
Made the whole world bright.”
The bit of magic and Memory
leading you down the little winding
path of years; leading you to the
witchery of youth. And the odor of
violets under a dream-seét sky!
‘What matter that your vision ends
with the song? You may possegs it
again and again.
“Give us a bygone hour,” cries the
world. The next best thing is the
shadow of the hour. For it makes
the heart of the old world young.

AN WINUA L A
Ldited by Mrs. Lmily MeDougald
Higher Education for Women in |
Georgia.
HE plan 40 make the Lucy Cobb
Institute a part of the State
University system is of deep
interest to the women of Georgia. It
is earnestly hoped that the trustees
of the university will accept this
splendid opportunity to open a de
partment of higher education for
women. It would be a forward step
for Georgia to take, and it would
seem that the State has no greater
duty to perform for its young women
than to afford them a chance to ac
quire, in their own State, the course
of preparation required of them in
order to teach certain classes in the
schools of Georgia. Many of these
women every year are forced to the
inconvenience and expense of going to
Chicago, New York or elsewhere to
take a course of study or lose the joh
upon which they depend for a sup
port.
~ The fallure of the State to provide
'such opportunities for its young wom
en is inexcusable. Last year the Leg
islature was asked by the trustees for
permission to open the doors of the
University of Georgia to women for a
post-graduate course. The bill grant
ing this privilege, although it carried
no expense to the State, was defeated,
the legislators giving as their reason
for so deoing “that their old-fashioned
’and traditional theories as to wom
an's sphere forbid it.”
This is a pitiful excuse for fallure
to take a sorely needed step in behalf
of its women citizens who are forced
to make a support for themselves and
families and who, at the same time,
in educating the youths of the land
are performing the most Important
work for the State. If the Legisla
ture feels compelled to abide by these
“old-fashioned and traditional theo
ries in regard to woman’s sphere,”
it should lose no time in making ade
quate provision for her support while
she remains in her “sphere.”

Arkansas Breaks Solid South.
Arkansas 1s added to the States in
which women can vote for Governors,
United States Senators and other of
ficers. The bill giving women the
right to vote in prigaaries, which the
Arkansas Legislature passed last week
and which Governor Brough- signed
with such fine dramatic effect at a
suffrage mass meeting a few nights
after is equivalent to full suffrage.
It is at the primaries that the choice
of officials is made. The regular elec
tion is merely a formality, a ratifica
tion. I¢ is at the primaries that the
real contest ig decided, that the Dem
cérats turn out for their real elec
tion.
Arkansas women can not yet vote
for presidential electors, but as Ar
kansas is a one-party State and the
Democratic ticket of electors is the
only one, it would seem that the
women have full political power in
Arkaneas.
A similar suffrage bill is now be
fore the Texas Legislature. It would
seem that the Southern politicians
would find themselves without any
argument against this bill. They can
not urg eagainst it that it is un
constitutional nor that it will jeop
ardize “white supremacy,” and the
result will prove how unfounded {s
the allegation that Southern women
do not care to vote. |

Votes for women in Ohio means the
right to vote for presidential electors,
in addition to the school suffrage
heretofore enjoyed by Ohio women.
The new bill confers no added munic
ipal suffrage. Its text adds the words
“and presidential electors” to the old
bill for school suffrage for women,
The great gain through the Ohio vic
tory lies in the number of new elec

| Consistency of Politicians.
Is it not time for the politicians to /
\decide definitely why they oppose
'woman suffrage? Let them get to
lgnther on their arguments. Read the
following verbatim quotations from
'the speeches delivered in Congress by
| Representatives:
| “Women have shown their {incapac
ity to comprehend large national
iquestlong by voting the Democratic |
‘ticket in ten States.”—Republican
'member from North Dakota.
“Women have shown their inherent
conservatism and lack of general pro
gressiveness by voting the Republican
tickot in Oregon and Illinois.”—Dem
ocratic member from Wisconsin,
“Women would have no influsncs in
politics, as they would vote as their
husbands do.’-~Member from Ohio.
“Women are too emotional to vota
intelligently, as evidenced by their
vote for Woodrow Wilson. When this
man was asked how he accounted for
‘the fact that the rural vote in Massa
chusetts had gone the same way, he
replied, ‘Oh, their wives drove them
to it’"—Member from Massachu
setts.
' “Women are too pure, too nobls, to
\be dragged into the corruption of pol-
H:ics."——Membar from North Caro
na.
. “Womces ould sell thelr votes
cheaper than men.”—Member from
New York.
“Woman suffrage is strictly a
State’s rights question.” — Member
from Kentucky,
‘ “Never will I consent to submit a
State referendum for woman suf
frage.”—Same member at home.
_“Prohibition is a moral question,
and therefore Congress shou(id makae
it nation-wide,”—Member from Ala
bama.
“Woman suffrage is a political
question and it must be gettled State
by State.”—Same member from Ala
bama. '
“Women are unfit for politics. They
only want suffrage in order to vote
for prohibition, and then when they
have done that they would quit.”—
Wet member from Kentucky.
“Women didn’t vote prohibition in
California law, which they would have
done had they had the political moral
sense to fit them for general poli
ties.”"—Dry member from Georgia.
“I will never consent to force the
vote on unwilllng women."—Dry
Southern member.
This same member voted to in
clude women in the voter’s list, if the
District of Columbia prohibition bill
should be submitted to referendum.

Water Walking Insects.
Insects that walk on the water by
means of pneumatic floats are the fa
miliar water-spider and the pond
sßater. The pond-skater really walks q
on pneumatic floats. There are tiny
hairs on the feet of this insect—so fine
that they can not be seen—that are ar
x‘;aaged to collect air. The amount col
ected in and about these halrs is suf
ficlent to allow the sects to walk or
float ugon the surface of the water.
As each foot {8 put down it forms a
cuplike depression or tiny pit In the
water., The foot does not sink because
the air bubble that has been formed
is too light to let it. A fine covering
of hair protects the water-gpider, too,
and even If it s submerged in the wa
ter it is neyer really wet. The hair
keeps a layer of air between its body
and the water. It looks like a white
pearl’ when below the surface. Thae
scientific name of this curious insect is
the velia ourrens.
