MARRIED LIFE SECOND YEAR

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. THE Daltons were very rich and Helen thought very ordinary. Hut Will Dalton waB an influJ ential man, and one who might be j very helpful in a business way. And ) since Mrs. Dalton had repeatedly invited thm lo come up some evening, ; Warren felt they should go. Helen did not want to go, both beI cause she frankly did not like Mrs. Dalton arid because Will Dalton drank r a great deal, and she thought his f companionship anything but good for ' Warren. i However, when he insisted that f they go one evening she reluctantly ; agreed. They took the subway to the Riverside apartment where the Dalf tons lived, and where they were greeted most effusively. Mrs. Dalton was in an elaborate ! lace negligee for which she kept apologizlng. Although Helen knew she ; wore it not because she was tired, ! but because it was effective. I She was an undeniably handsome j woman of rather coarse type. And her apartment was an exact reflection of herself. It was lavishly and inharmo- ; niously furnished. Everything seemed : to have been bought because it was expensive and looked so. 'mrs. dalton brags. Mr. Dalton took Warren off to the i library to smoke, and, as Helen knew, to drink. While Mrs. Dalton and she I remained in the drawing room." "Do have this pillow at your back

;no, this one is softer." And Mrs. Dal

ton adjusted some rose silk pillows In her own chair and leaned back luxuri

ously. "Oh, I'm simply dead! I do think jbeing fitted is the most tiresome thing. Madame Eloise kept me just one hour this afternoon. She simply makes' things on you! But of course they do fit the lines in this are wonderful. Did you ever have her? "I'm afraid she's too expensive for me," Helen answered quietly. "Why, she doesn't seem any higher than most of the others. I'm only paying $175 for this gown and I've often ipald Vallier $200. You really can't get a dinner gown for much less. Helen wanted to say that she had never paid more than $65 in her life, but instead she murmured, "I suppose not." And then Mrs. Dalton launched into details of other gowns and other extravagances. "Well, I wonder if those men think we don't want something to drink, too?" she demanded finally. "Oh, not for me! Helen said hastily. "Why, of course it'll rest you. Will! 'ill" she called loudly. "Will!" louder still. HELEN IS SHOCKED. Hey there! And Mr. Dalton appeared in the door much flushed and with a cigar in his hand. Warren was just behind him, also smoking and also flushed. "What are you going to bring us you selfish people?" "Why, of course, of course! You must pardon me, Mrs. Curtis, we were Bo busy talking" "Oh cut that out and get us something to drink!" Mrs. Dayton demanded. Helen looked at her in amazement. How could any woman look like that? But evidently her husband thought nothing of it, for he only laughed and asked, "Well, what will you have?" Mrs. Dalton turned to Helen. "A highball, or would you rather have cognac"

"Nothing at all. Really I do not wish anything." "Of course you do. Bring us two Scotch highballs. I'm sure, Mrs. Curtis will change her mind when they come." Helen flushed. If Mrs. Dalton thought it was exceedingly rude. In a few moments Mr. Dalton brought in the two glasses, and drew up a little table to place them on. Helen made no further protest, but her glass remained untouched. "Oh, now you're going to drink some of it?" Mrs. Dalton pleaded. "To be sure she is," urged Mr. Dalton. "Whjv yes, Helen, a little won't hurt you," agreed Warren. "No, thank you. I really prefer not." And then fearing her answer had been rather stiff, she softened it with: "But I should like a glass of vichy." And this was brought her. "But don't stay in here; let's all go in the library," suggested Mr. Dalton. It's much more comfortable there." The library was much more comfortable, it was not quite so ornate and ostentatious. A bottle of Scotch and one of rye, some vichy and a box of cigars were on the centre table. Helen felt that already Warren had had too much to drink and she was anxious to go home. She waited a fewminutes and then asked the time. DELAY AND HIGHBALLS. "Oh, it's early yet," Mr Dalton said cheerfully, "just a little after ten." "And Mrs. Dalton was very tired when we came (the excuse given for the negligee), and we really musn't stay late." "Oh, Nell's all right. Why the evening's just begun!" And Mrs. Dalton added her assurance that she wasn't tired at all now and that they never went to bed until after one, there was nothing to do but wait a little longer. In the meantime the men consumed more cigars and more highballs, while Helen looked on with anxious disapproval. At last she rose determinedly. "Now Warren, we must really go." "There were more protests, more assurances that it was still early," but this time she was inflexible. And a little later they were speeding homeward on the subway. "Mighty nice people those Daltons! Warre nsaid with enthusiasm. Will's a whole-hearted fellow and his wife's a fine woman." Helen refrained from any comment. "We ought to see more of them," he went on. We must have them down some evenng next week and go up there oftener. They seem keen on having us come." Still Helen was silent. He was always more easily irritated after he had been drinking, and she had no desire to start any violent argument by differing with him now. "Why, what's the matter?" suspiciously. "Don't you like them?" "Oh yes," vaguely. "Well, you didn't seem over cordial. You were pretty stiff about that drink. Wouldn't have hurt you to have taken a little. And you were darned anxious to get away," growing more irritable as he thought about it. 'What was the matter anyway?" "Why nothing: Only I thought Mrs. Dalton was tired and we shouldn't stay too late." "Well, the next time see that you enter into the spirit of things. And don't sit around with that 'stand-offish' air! Dalton's a mighty decent fellow and I intend to cultivate him! She nodded a weary assent. And the car drew into the station.

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THE SUMMER GIRL

By DOROTHY DIX.

WH6..N tnou rarest lortn tor thy Summer vacation direct thy footsteps wisely, for what shall it profit thee to fish ever so cunningly in

the waters in which no fish abide? Verily, I say unto thee, that, though there I be mountains that touch the skies

and to whom she shall present the, and so thou sh.i'.t reap thy wward. 0 When the tausu-ians smite upon the band of au evenir-s in the ballroom, dance no: at ail unless some

or sapphire seas, or swelling hills, or : dimpling vales, yet is all scenery an I abomination and a desolation, and a j Summer resort becomes as sounding ' brass and tinkling cymbals, if so be j

no eligible man abides therat. I 2 Consider thy apparel, for fine ! feathers make fine birds, and no maid- j en with the glad rags is as homely as i the Lord made her. Yet be not extrav- i agant in thy dress, lest some youth J shall flee from thee, saying: "Where-! withall shall 1 get the scads to doll j

such a one up in the similitude of a fashion plate to which she is accus- '

tomed?" 3 Before thou disporteth thyself

in the ocean, consider what manner of figure and. of hair nature hath be- : stowed upon thee, and whether thou J

lookest when thou art wet like a mermaid or a drowned cat, for what shall it profit a maiden to dry her locks on the sands if so be she hath only three hairs on her head and looketh like Winter underwear after it hatb shrunk in the wash? 4 P r o p i t i a te with fair words the old cats that knit

pink sweaters on the hotel gallery lest they arise and rend thy reputation and tear it limb from limb, for lo, the wagging of their tongues is even as a perpetual motion machine, . and the things that they do to a

character are a plenty. 5 Also slight not the homely girl who art a wild flower, for many such

Southern Afternoon Tea by

Coohcry points

Nothing is the Matter With the World

"Except the kettle boiling be. 4 Filling the tea-pot spoils the tea." And after I had treated my fellow-workers under the Shubert banner in "The Five Frankforters" to my idea of iced tea during our first warm Spring days, they were ready to subscribe to that quotation or any other tea-lore I wanted to claim as my own! See how you like it, fellow readers of the Palladium. Steep one and one-half (1) teaspoonfuls of good green tea in one pint of BOILING water. Strain this over the juice and rind of three lemons, which have been sliced and left standing, in one cup of granulated sugar. Wken cool, strain and add one quart of good sherry. Serve over tracked Ice in small punch glasses. Truly this -is a most delicious Summer drink.

Cherry Delights. Cherries served fresh and cold on their own stems for breakfast are so lelioious that no other way of serving them at that meal could be better. But pitted and sprinkled with sugar and a bit of lemon juice they serve as an appetizer and at the same time lose none of their delicate flavor. Another wa.v of preparing them for breakfast is to pit them and mix them with sugar in the propoption of half a cupful to a pint of cherries and cook them until they are just tender. Then pour them over buttered toast. Cherry soup has been made, but it could hardly be more than the result of an effort to serve cherries in a new and unexpected way. However, at every course save the soup course cherries can be legitimately served. Cherry cocktails are made in this

way: Stone ripe cherries, chop them fine, add a tablespconful of lemon juice to each cupful of cherries, sweeten them to taste and serve them either in cocktail glasses or else in lemon skin cups made by removing part of one side of a sufficient number of lemons, cutting a bit of the rind from the other ide. remoTing all the pulp and juice and washing and chilling the sheils. Cherries served with French toast can be used as an entree. To make them cut rings half an inch' thick from bread and soak them in beaten ejrg yolk, milk, a little sugar and a pinch of salt Roll the bread rings in crumbed bread and macaroons and brown them In butter. Stew ripe cherries with sugar enough to sweeten them, drain and pile in tbe middle of a dish. Surround them wttii the fried bread rings and serve them with the juice of the cherries thickened with a little cornstarch and flavored with orange Juice,

By DR. C. H. PARKHURST. ON" retiring at night, just before going off to sleep, say, either mentally or orally as you choose: I am health, strength, peace, happiness and prosperity and everything that goes to make for good. Pure, good, rich blood is flowing through my body, removing all obstructions and bringing peace, health and harmony. I am well and strong and vital. I am beautiful, pure and good. 1 am on the road to eternal youth. I am opulent, happy and free. Last but not least: 1 will arise with unusual energy and radiance and power of accomplish

ment in the morning. j All I ask is that you do not try to j dictate the way these things shall or! may come, and I will guarantee them j

to cure anything from poverty to rheumatism. Dr. James W. Cormany, Mount Carroll. 111.

Let every reader of this column take !

with seriousness these emphatic statements of Dr. Cormany, and put them to the best. Nothing Is the Matter With the World, Life or Destiny. There is nothing the matter with the world, with life, with destiny. Everything we desire or want or need waits for our claiming. But the majority of God's children are waiting for SOMEBODY BESIDES THEMSELVES to bring them these things. Not more than one human being in one thousand looks to HIMSELF and the Power back of himself for success, health and happiness. The other 999 look to luck; to chance; to influence; to favors of friends and acquaintances; to doctors; to patent medicines; to some hoped-for miracle, and all the time a mine pf wealth and reserroir of power within themselves lies unexplored and unused. If you have a garden and reservoir

of water, which is fed from an inei'

Fish Cunningly. are possessed of handsome brothers, and eke of male relatives with 1913 cars, who shall arrive in due season, haustible mountain stream, and you spend hours in prayer to God for rain to water your garden, do not feel that God has been unkind if in a season of drought your plants wither and die. It is your own fault that you did not USE THE WATER IN THE RESERVOIR. Prayer is a great force; it puts our highest mental and moral powers in

j touch with the whole magnificent unij verse, and with the clouds of wltness- ' es and the hosts of ministering an- ; gels, who are waiting to do the Father's bidding on earth; and the Father's . bidding is eternal usefulness to hu-

i inanity.

These Invisible Helpers are ever 1 ready to HELP US HELP OUR-I

SELVES. But they would not answer our prayers for rain, to save our gardens, if we did not use the water in the reservoir which has been supplied to us. An inexhaustible reservoir lies in every soul born upon earth. The one thing for you to do is to PIPE YOUR MENTAL FACULTIES TO THE RESERVOIR. Then follow the instructions wbich are quoted above. Every time you make those assertions you are TURNING ON A FAUCET. It is of little use, in a dry, arid season, to turn the water on your garden ONCE A WEEK. It must be done EVERY DAY. If you watered your plants once, and then after a month complained how badly they looked, despite your having watered them, that would be as reasonable as the attempts of many people to put metaphysical thought into practise. Every trade, profession, business and art is brought to perfection by PERSISTENT AND UNREMITTING EFFORTS. , The great philosophy of THOUGHT

POWER can only be proven and dem-

Despise Not the Fat Man. man asketh iht-e. for. behold, there are many sad sights in the world, but none so o soui- as tho spectacle of two maidens turkey trotting together and attempting to wear on their countenance the look of one who rejoieeth. 7 When a youth treatoth thee to

uo cream soda loast not to him of some other man who fed thee on champapne and terrapin, for by so doing thou makest him foe! like a cheap skate, and he will pass the up when he geteth up the hay ride or the trolley excursion. 8 As thou art strong, be merciful Consider that

at a summer hotel there are seven times seven women to one man. and that the ptor youth that thou nailest hath already flagged seventeen mountains, and gathered four bushels of wild flowers and visited Lovers' Leap, and read poetry and rowed boats, and played golf, and danced millions of miles with other maidens before thou earnest, and he is a weary and fain would rest. 9 Despise not the fat man whose architecture is built after the manner of a bay window. Say not unto hJm. "Go up. thou bald head." for verily he may be a widower, with houses and lands, and automobiles and jewels, wherewith to endow a wife. 10 Avoid the snapshot fiend who taketh amateur pictures as thou wouldst pestilence or sudden death, for such a one shall take thee unaware with they head on a manly breast, or a strange arm about tbee. and. although it causeth the merry ha-ha at the time, peradventure thy fiance, to whom thou showeth it at home, lacketh in a sense of humor.

onstrated by the same unremitting, untiring methods. The little formula given by Dr. Cormany. holds the whole philosophy in a concise form. It is a spiritual homeopathic pill. Take one every night on retiring, and after three months you will be astonished at results. Pray often.; lift your heart on high; but WORK FIRST. LAST AND ALWAYS. Look to Your Own Soul for Light; Don't Be a Spiritual Loafer. Do not be a spiritual loafer, and expect angels to perform your work with no effort on your part. Do not talk about your methods; and do not ask any one for advice or counsel. Look only to your own soul for light. GOD'S Once In a time of trcfbfe and of care I dreamed I talked with God about my pain; With sleepland courage, daring to complain Of what I deemed ungracious and unfair. "Lord, I have groveled on my knees in prayer Hour aftr hour," I cried; "yet all in vain; No hand leads up to heights I would attain. No path is shown me out of my despair."

I

Then answered God: "Three things I gave to thee Clear brain, brave will and strength of mind and heart.

i All implements dhine o shape the r- . ; J Why shift the burden of the toil on j Me? j Till to the utmost he has done bis I part ! With all his might, let no man dare j to pray."

IF I WERE A MAN, A YOUNG MAN BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Copyright. 1913, by star Company.

I

F I were a man, a young man, and knew what I know today, I would look in the eyes of life undaunted By any Fate that might threaten me. I would- give to the world what the world most wanted

Manhood that knows it can do and be; Courage that dares, and faith that can see Clear into the depths cf the human soul. And find God there, and tne ultimate goal, If I were a man, a young man. and knew what I know today. If I were a man, a young man, and knew what I know today, I would think of myself as the masterful creature Of all the Masterful plan; The Formless Cause, with form and feature; The Power that heeds not limit or ban; Mn. wonderful man. I would do good deeds, and forget them straightway; I would weave my woes into ropes and climb Ud to the heights of the helper's gateway;

And Life should serve me, and Thice, And I would sail out. and out. and find The treasures that lie in the deep sea, M!nd. I would dream, and think, and act; I would work, and love, and pray. Till each dream and vision grew into a fact. If I were a man, a young man, and knew what I know today. If I were a man, a young man. and knew what I know today, I would guard my passions ai Kings guard treasures. And keep them high and c?ean. (For the will of a man. with hispassions, measures; It is strong as they are keen.) I would think of each woman as some one's mother; I would think of each man as my own blood brother; And speed him along on his way. And the glory of life in this wonderful hour Should fill me and thrill me with Conscious power. If I were a man, a young man, and knew what I know today.
