After the Honeymoon

Married Life the First Year.

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER MR and Mrs. Henry C. Hardman Requests Your Presence At the Marriage of Their Daughter Estelle to Mr. William A. Carter on Thursday, Evening, September the 1st, Nineteen Hundred and Ten At Eight-Thirty O'clock Helen read this with a cry of surprice. "Estelle Hardman is going to be married!" She handed the invitation across the breakfast table to Warren. "And to Will Carter!" Warren glances at it and laid it aside. "Well," sipping his coffee, "he's a pretty decent sort of a chap, isn't he?" "Yes, I suppose so but not at all the kind of man I thought Estelle would marry." "Well, she's not as young as she was her choice may be limited." Oh, Warren, how unkind!" "It's true, isn't it?" "You've always disliked her!" "Oh, I wouldn't put it as strong as that. I merely never fancied her that's all." "But why?" Refilling his empty cup. "She talks too much and doesn't always tell the truth." "Hitting At Her Failures." "Yes, she does talk a great deal," Helen admitted. "But I didn't know Bhe was untruthful." "She exaggerates and tells things always a little different from what they are." Helen flushed, uncomfortably con

scious that she, too, had that failing to some extent. "But, dear, all women exaggerate and prevaricate more or less about little things they are not as exact and literal as men." "Well, I have no tolerance for untruthfulness in any form. There's no excuse for it. If, as you say, most women prevaricate then I certainly hope that you are an exception." Helen crumbled her toast nervously. Bhe knew that she, was not an exception, that she was often far from truthful in her statements. Never about "anything serious, but in harmless trivial ways she often resorted to the little evasions and subterfuges that are the stock-in-trade of most women. With Warren she tried always to be exactly literal. She knew and feared his stern disapproval of any deviation from the truth. But she feared too, that sooner or later she would forget and unconsciously slip into some Blight falsehood or equivocation which he would detect. And now anxious to change the subject, she asked nervously: "What shall we get for a wedding present? You know Pstelle and her mother gave us that silver vase." He frowned. "The Hardmans are wealthy we can't afford anything so expensive." ' But we can't send anything cheap!"

If Only for One Day

BY J. L. GOLDBERG.

"But something simple ?nd in good taste. It needn't be expensive. They wouldn't expect it. "Well, what would you suggest?" He hesitated. "Oh, I can't think of anything just now something useful and inexpensive. This idea of giving extravagant presents because others do is all wrong. Gifts should be a free expression of one's good will they shouldn't be forced or beyond one's means." "Yes, I know but if you'll give me some idea of what to get." "I told you," irritably, "I couldn't think of anything just now. But there

are plenty of useful and simple things.

Look through the shops a dozen j

things will suggest themselves." "About what do you think we should pay?" "Oh, not more than five or six dollars." "Five or six dollars! JVhy, Warren, I couldn't get anything for that. I'd rather not send anything at all!" "That will suit me quite well." "Our expenses have been heavy enough in furnishing this apartment. I've no intention of adding to them by elaborate wedding presents." He pushed back his chair and rose from the table, "It's after nine. I'll be late as it is." He kissed her coldly, perfunctorily, and was gone.

angry color flamed in her cheeks. And the vase she had given them had cost thirty at least! The- Wedding Present Found. Was Warren as mercenary as that? Their expenses had been heavy, of course, but they had planned for that. And now "Which one of them silver bread plates m'm did you say for me to use?" Anna had come in and was clearing, off the table. "Oh, yes, Anna, why that one there on the end of the sideboard. It's plainer than the others and easier to keep polished. I'll put the other two away in the china closet. We don't need them all out." And then like a flash came the thought why not send Estelle one of the silver bread plates! They had received three as wedding presents. They would never need them all. She rushed over to the sideboard. The one Warren's Uncle Joe had given them! Fortunately it was not engraved. She would take it to a silversmiths at once and have it marked with Estelle's initials. Warren would be furious if he knew. But he would never miss it. He need never know.

And it wasn't wrong, she assured

L'ENVOI. This is the day I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not. But, oh, the irony of fate, That now it's here, it is so hot! Seven years did Jacob serve for Rachel in vain. Seventeen did William Jennings Bryan serve to become President and it came to pass but only for a day. The Secretary of State was on the job early, but there was no Presidenting to do. Not even a job hunter marred the peace and restfulness of this historic Fourth for the Acting President of the United States. He arose early, put in two hours in his new automobile, and then, even if it was a holiday, spent an hour at the State Department. The clerks had a day off, and the President-for-a-day had no one to talk to. After lunch he took his little grandson to see the great Fourth of July pageant on the Mall, mingled with thousands of Washingtonians, few of whom realized they were in the presence of the Acting President, and at sundown returned to his Columbia Road home, where he spent the evening. Tomorrow the Vice-President will be back, and the President will be in Cornish, but in history it will be written that William Jennings Bryan was President of the United States for a day.

Chooses to Marry

BY DOROTHY D1X. HERE is no doubt that life grows more and more complex, especially for women, and the more doors of opportunity that stand

ajar for them the more difficult it is to choose the particular one behind which they will find happiness. Take the marriage problem, for instance. Heretofore that has simply been Hobson'a choice with a girl, and the only trouble she had was in deciding which

one of her suitors she would take. Now, however, it isn't so much a question of the rival attractions of two men as it is of the man and his job, and when you see a pretty maiden !

a problematical husband. Laugh not at her. Hers is a very real dilemma that a man is spared. Marriage does net cut him off from the work he lovos, the profession he has fitted himself for, the success he is beginning to attain, the money he is earning. He just adds a wife and the comforts of a home to all the other good things he has. A wife is plus with him.

that that one's hands are sodden with the water of the wash-tub, and scarred with burns from the gas range; that another has to wheedle every cent she has out of her tightwad husband, and still another has grown nervous and peevish, and is a fretful mother of fretful babes. And it doesn't seem to little Miss Bookkeeper or little Miss Cashier that there is any particular allurement in the fate of these ladies to make anyone else yearn to follow in their footsteps. Also there is the other side of the picture. Every normal woman wants a husband, and home, and children of her own, and the only way she can secure them is by marrying, and making the sacrifices that marriage demands. That is the price she has to pay, and it is for her to decide whether she Is

willing to give it. A NEW MAN. Of course, in time, this problem will settle itself. In the process of evolution there will be developed a new man to be the fitting mate of the new woman, and he will look on all these domestic questions with wiser eyes than the man of the present day. He will see that it is just as unfair to ask a woman to give up the work she has prepared herself to do, and

eration, and wisdom, and be happy and trust God. Motherhood is the most natural thing in the world for women who are normal and in good health. It often produces a normal healthful condition for those who are not well. Nature never intended any woman to utterly change her mode of life when expecting a child, if her mode of life had been a reasonable and sensible one previously. Outdoor life and athletics are both reasonable and sensible, and more harm would have resulted to both mother and child by giving them up suddenly, and taking too great concern

Doctors9 pSuMCDinis About PTUM Are best expressed in their own words Writing under date of May 13, 1913, one physician says:

"From past experience I have become a strong friend of Postum. I am now advising its use over that of coffee altogether, and find that most of those who give Postum a trial become users of it. "It is however sometimes very hard or impossible to get folks to purchase something when they 'don't know anything about it." and 'don't want to throw away money on a chance of liking it.' "Now, it occurs to me these people are not to be criticized for such feelings but at the same time

I am sure many of them would become friends of Postum if they could but have a sample of it placed in their hands. "If you think this is a good suggestion, and will send me samples from time to time. I will see ti t they are placed among my patients where they will do the most good, for I believe it is to their interest to drink Postum rather than coffee. Postum is used in our home, but we buy it of our grocer, and we expect to keep right on doicg so."

Thousands of coffee drinkers are victims of headache, nervousness, biliousness, heart trouble and indigestion, without knowing the cause. More and more, physicians are naming coffee as a common cause of these ills. Not every physician, however, finds time to send a sample following his prescription of
