I How They Became

I Acquainted I By Katherine Howe jj

..-. . . . . .

(Copyright, by w. G. Chapman.) When Florence Long and Guy HoiIcy were married there was a church weduing, bridesmaids, best man, ushers, a largo reception, and all that goes with the celebration of such an event where the parents of the couple are in both cases well-to-do people, and the bride desires the display. Every one said it was "such a pretty wedding," and the bride looked "lovely." There certainly seemed not the slightest reason why y Jr. and Mrs. Holley should not happily ever after. They came buok from the wedding tour, Established themselves in the eastern city where Holley carried on business as partner in a wholesale firm, and the groom's friends began to call at the pleasant apartment in well-meant efforts to make the bride feel at home in a strange elty. Perhaps a man docs not always understand what it means to take a young girl away from her parents, family, friends and all the acquaintances of her home town, and transplant her to entirely new surroundings, where everything seems strange, and every face unfamiliar. Perhaps he does not understand that in such a case he has to be a large, patient, resourceful, tender soul in order to be, for a time at least, the sole amusement, interest and attraction of the stranger within his gates. In nine cases out of ten the man thoughtlessly neglects to consider big exactions on his side of the contract. It takes a woman with a very large nature, and something like a genius for loving to cope successfully with the situation if she has to supply the man's shortcomings In the contract. Florence Holley was by no means the unusual woman. She had the ordinary superficial life of the young girl up to the age of twenty, whose time, after leaving school, Is filled with the social functions Incident to "coming out" in the society of the rich set. Many such girls develop into strong, line characters, but it is not by filling their lives with a ceaseless round of social affairs and amusements. With Sat Down and Wrote Him a Letter. tender handling the precious metal would always remain in the rough. Gold is tried by fire. Guy Holley. being the usual, wellmeaning, unthinking youth of twentythree, totally unaware of the exactions of his share in the contract, went on his way much as he had done before his marriage. His business interested him, and his old friends were in the same places, and gave him the same pleasant greetings. He was by no means neglectful of his wife, and spent all his spare time with her. But there was much time for her that must be filled in by others. Among these "others" was a friend of Guy's named George Freston. He was rather a dashing, romantic figure, a National Guardsman, and much given to heroics as to dying for one's country, and how he meant to soon go over to the allies, and fight for France. This was before the declaration of war by the United States, and Florence, being dazzled by his talk of glory, began to quote continually to her husband the unselfish, patriotic alms of Freston. 4T think it's splendid!" she exclaimed. "Now, that's my idea of a man." "Evidently It Isn't your idea of a man to attend to his business, and support his wife." Florence paid no attention to the bitterness and sarcasm of his remark, but went on fanning the flame. "George Freston has a wonderful mind. Some of the things he says fairly take you otf your feet." "Let him do a few things, and I'll have more faith in what he says," was Guy's incredulous answer. "Oh. he'll do them all right," she said, enthusiastically. "When my country wants me I'll go. But I haven't so far seen the need of rushing into Europe's quarrel," was the sullen response. It was talks of this kind, which finally grew into heated disputes, together with the increasing unrest of the young Wife, that finally brought about a break

in the marital relations of the young couple. They had been married not yet a year when Florence went back

j to the Western city ostensihly to visit ner laniuy, mit with the distinct intention of never again returning to her husband. Holley taeltlj agreed to this, feeling they had both made a mistake in the marriage venture, and believing a divorce to be the only solution of the problem. Then came the ringing declaration of the president, and the call to arms of the United States. Holley was one of the first to respond to the call. He began to train for the aviation corps. "How blessings brighten as they take their flight," Is an old adage which Florence began to realize as the time went by. Quite unexpectedly to herself she found she was thinking many times a day about Guy, and even missing some of his thoughtful attentions. Then she began to see his name in the papers. He was proving himself a daring aviator. Mr. Amos Holley had presented his son, Guy, with a finely equipped airship which was to be given to the service of the government, and the young man was expected soon to sail for service in France. Florence found she was watching every paper to see if he had arrived safely. A strange new sensation of thankfulness came when she heard he was in France. The next news'was of a daring flight over the enemy's lines, and an honorable mention of his feat. Then one day Florence sat down and wrote him a letter. In It she said: "I think I had to come away to find out myself. Looking back on much that I said and did I am compelled to see what an inexperienced, unthinking, very young person I was. I don't know why parents let girls marry who are about as unfitted for the business of being wives as they are to build a house or run the government. I believe I am beginning to learn that if you have none of that training before' hand you must study the rocks where you came to grief so to pilot your barl? Into smoother channels." In closing the letter she asked him to write and tell her something of hir. life at the front. She received a reply full of Interest to her. ne told very modestly some of his adventures, and admitted that he might also have made some mistakes "in the business of being a husband." A regular correspondence followed. In one of his letters Holley said: "Almost this seems like a now acquaintance. Your letters reveal to me something in you I never knew was there. Perhaps you may some day find in me a man grown more worth while because of his wider, harder experience." In answer Florence wrote she did not need to wait for "some day." She had found the finer, stronger man. The communications that come and go between them are now real love letters, much more real than those of their callow youth, and both are hoping the war will not put asunder their lives which it has really brought together. OWE WEALTH TO TRADE RAT Rodent's Peculiarity Led to Discovery of Valuable Mine From Which He Had Carried Away Ore. Miser the trade rat Is also called pack rat, wood rat and bushy tailed rat. He is one of the smartest and by far the most interesting of all the rat family. He is rather a fine-looking fellow. He is of large size, has big eyes, big ears, and, in many parts of the country where he lives his tail is covered with long hair. It is because of this that he often is called the bushy-tailed rat. This rat is a born collector and trader. Anything he can carry off is a prize. Very frequently he tries to make amends by replacing with something else the object carried away. For instance, he will empty a bag of seeds and fill it with pebbles or bits of sticks. He appears to be very fond of things that shine or arc white, and will collect shells, bones, pebbles, bits of tin, buckles, pistol cartridges, spoons, forks and knives. In the western part of the United States where gold and other ores are mined, a valuable gold mine was discovered through Miser's contribution to a miner, says a writer in the People's Home Journal. Miser made many visit to the prospector's cabin, taking scraps of food, and whatever he fancied. He brought back fragments of quartz; and when these were assayed they were found to be heavy with gold. Miser was tracked to his nest and near it was found the gold bearing vein from which the samples have been taken. He is a most industrious fellow. In a single night he will carry away from a camp he may visit a large part of the food left unprotected, leaving in Its place an equal quantity of seeds, stones, pine cones or other things which he can easily find. Altogether he is an amusing though often troublesome neighbor. His little junk shop is usually worth investigating. Another Casualty. During the operation of the Egyptian expeditionary force in Palestine a town to the south of Beersheba was captured and in it a splendid example of mosaic pavement was discovered. A chaplain to the forces was placed In charge of the excavation of it, and in the course of the work some human bones were discovered. The padre was elated at the find and Immediately wired to his G. H. Q saying: "Have found bones of saint." A little while after the reply came back: "Unable to trace Saint in casualty list. Obtain particulars of regimental number and regiment from his Identity disk." London Answers.

mSHINCTQN CITY

peciaiist in A!! Matters of National Defense

WASHINGTON. He might be a matinee idol, for he has the raven-black hair and the flashing black eyes and the pearly white teeth but he is not. He is Grosvenor Clarkson, secretary of the council of national defense. ? He is the Adonis of all .of America's

The career of Clarkson has been a varied one. He came originally from Des Moines, la., where he was engaged In newspaper work. He heard the siren call of the large Eastern cities, however. He wanted to work and mingle with the rushing throngs of America's metropolis, and he went to New York. Clarkson fitted in with the hustle and the bustle of New York, for Clarkson was a hustler. He went Into the advertising business and made a name for himself as a man "with a punch," a man who could put anything across. Then there came the great American movement for preparedness. Those who were financing the movement saw In Clarkson a man who could appeal to the American people In a manner which would attract them. Clarkson became the publicity man behind the movement. When the war came, Clarkson was taken into the council of national defense. As secretary of the council he finds himself with the sturdy task of handling the enthusiastic spirit of thousands of Americans who want to help. He Is a sort of official buffer the mini who separates the sheep from the tfonts and who considers the wcinht of the various propositions of help that are put up daily to the council of national defense. Every moment of the day Clarkson is available. To liim come appeals for aid from every war administrator in Washington. Ho is the one man who has at his finger-tips the mass of knowledge concerning people and things that makes it possible for him to always recommend the right man to do the right thing. The burden of his work is showing upon Clarkson; but he throws it off occasionally and takes himself to a tennis court, where he forgets the war and his worries and displays his ability as a raequeter.

Girls Add to Lure of the Soda-Waiep Fountain PRETTY girls, neat in bib and tucker, are soon to take the places of redheaded and gawky youths of the sterner sex as dispensers of soda water and other liquid refreshments in Washington. Half a dozen establishments in Washington have already made the

change, which will undoubtedly make them so popular with the male contingent that all others will follow the example. An unprecedented shortage of soda "jerkers" of the male variety has caused the proprietors of such establishments to insert advertisements for girls to act as dispensers at soda water and refreshment stands. The ease with which an experienced boy attendant at such places

can get employment has made them exceedingly "cocky," so the proprietors have apparently with one accord decided to dispense with male "slingers." Once the girls get the jobs, there will probably be no return to boys as dispensers, for the substitution of the neater, sweeter maidens who serve drinks with an alluring smile worth the price of many drinks will, undoubtedly, prove so popular with the patrons that no fountain owner will dare to return to the unattractive male attendant. While girls may possibly be employed for slightly less than the figures mentioned above, the law says they shall work only eight hours a day. This last mentioned fact is probably one reason why they have not been more extensively employed as attendants in the past. Tere is now an unprecedented shortage of soda "jerkers" and the experienced youth has no trouble in getting a job. Many are of draft age, and have been called to the colors. Others have volunteered for military service. Higher wages given in practically all trades have caused hundreds to forsake the calling for positions as semiskilled carpenters.

Eastern Artist fs at Work on Famous Capitol Frieze A LARGE, cagelike, wooden structure, suspended from the balcony in the rotunda of the capllol, attracts the attention of every visitor these days.

can history chosen by Mr. Whipple are the invention of the locomotive and the application of steam to travel and transportation; the development of electricity; the freeing of Cuba; the building of the Tanama canal, and the development of the modern battleship and the airplane. The capitol rotunda frieze was started by Constantino Brumidi, who carried his work to the group representing Penn's treaty with the Indians. After his death Filipo Costaggini carried out the idea, beginning with the three Indians at the left side of the Penn group. His last group represents the discovery of gold in California. Costaggini died in 1907, and since then no work has been attempted on the frieze. Infallible Signs Prove "Passing of Summer" INFALLIBLE signs of autumn are daily appearing on the streets of the national capital with the result that a favorite topic of conversation in hotel lobby groups is the "passing of summer." Perhaps winter's advance press agents are not so competent as

those of Dame Summer's, for it is a certainty that the latter season is heralded much more auspiciously than the former. Be that as it may, however, there are certain "111" things, both seen and unseen, which unfailingly register the annual near deceasement of Old Sol's piercing reign. For instance, when a feller begins to .ee his companions searching

through their last year's vest pocket for a yellow pawn ticket bearing the meaning inscription "one overcoat" they may feel safe to wager their all that the warning "falling of the leaves, leaves, leaves," has not been without fruitful result. Then, too, the appearance of golden pumpkins in the glassed window of your favorite lunchroom all tends to steady your wavering reasoning. And to clinch it all you pick up your morning newspaper and see an article about world series dope." Then you remember how you shivered on the autumn afternoon whan you attended those historic games last season (this Is deep humor if you arc a Washingtonian) and are honest to goodnessly eonvinced time the "passing of .summer" is something that must be roekoned with.

war makers. Still a man of youth, Clarkson carries upon his shoulders great burdens, and his face betrays the fact. In the street he walks, always with a furrowed brow, deep in thought. In his office he is found most frequently, silent and thoughtful. When he came to Washington he was a young man. Under the pressure of war work he is rapidly growing old. FIX UP ANOTHER. SODA, on a proposed continuation of the famous Brumidi-Costaggini frieze, which ends abruptly with a group representing the discovery of gold in California. Mr. Whipple has received permission from the joint committee on library of congress to place in the vacant space his suggestion for completing the circle. He is working this out in such manner that if congress does not approve the work can be erased or taken down. The episodes in Ameri

Before the war about half the menthol crystals exported from Japan were sent to Germany. Since the outbreak of the war the United States has become the largest purchaser of these crystals, followed in order by Great Brindn, France and British India. The price was varied from $2 to $2.50 a pound during the last live years, remaining most of the time near the higher mark. Recent improvements in the process of manufacture have kept the price within reasonable limits in spite of a considerable increase in the demand since the beginning of the war.
