MARRIED LIFE SECOND YEARl

fey MABEL HERBERT URNER.

F COURSE you're going

Now don't be a little fool." And Warren struggled into his overcoat he

had been vigorously brushing. It was Tuesday morning and this was the first reference that had been made to the Tuesday night dinner since Helen had declared last week she would not go. "But I thought you said Mrs. Dalton's cousin 'that good-looking girl' would take my place." He laughed carelessly. "As though anyone could do that!" It was not so often now that WarJen made so gallant a remark. "But I don't like those Bohemian places, and I don't like the Dalton's," she protested, though plainly weakening. "Well I go to many places and with many people I don't like, when its's a matter of policy as it is now. Dalton la keen on our going. They're coming for us in their car about 6:30. So be all ready. I'll be home at 6." SHE DISAPPROVES OF DALTON. And without waiting for further protests he hurried off. Of course, she reasoned, as she bathed and dressed the baby. If Warren really insisted on going with the Daltons, it was better for her to go with him. But more and more she felt that Will Dalton was bad for Warren. And the thought that Warren should feel under obligations to him for tips on the stock market rankled within her constantly. But when, at :?., the Daltons dashed up for him with their big touring car, and they were whirled down the gleaming avenue, Helen nestled back among the fur rugs with a sense of pleasure in the swift motion and 'the luxurious ease of the car. Their destination was an Italian "Table d'hote" just off Sixth avenue. The place was crowded. The air was close and heavy with cigarette smoke. And above the clatter of dishes and noise of the dners came the sound of a tortured piano and a strident violin. A perspiring waiter led them to a table that Mr. Dalton had telephoned to have reserved. It was the only, one vacant in the place. "Here, wait a moment!" called Dalton imperiously, as the waiter rushed off. "Bring us four Madrid cocktails right away! Yes, dry. I guess that's right isn't, it?" looking around the table, inquiringly. "It takes so everlastingly long to get anything here I wanted to give that order before the waiter got away. But perhaps Mrs. Curtis doesu't care for cocktails" remembering the other evening, and turning to Helen apologetically. "THE BEST YOU HAVE." "Oh, yes; that's all right," smiled Helen, graciously. For she had resolved to accept whatever the others did. She need not drink it, hut she could not be constantly protesting at every order. The food was not. bad, although Helen was suspicious as to just how clean things were. Everybody instinctively wiped their silver with their napkins. And Mr. Dalton, who served the soup from the big steaming bowl placed before him, calmly wiped out each soup plate before filling it. "Take those away, he demanded as the waiter placed a pint bottle 01 the

traditional "red ink" beside each plate, "and bring us some good Chianti the best you have. And, here hold on a minute! Bring us some of those bread sticks, too, with the air of a man determined to be well served. "Not bad soup," commented Warren. "Wait till the spaghetti comes on that's their drawing card here. Be"st in town, I think that is if you like garlic. You do don't you, Mrs. Curtis?" turning anxiously to Helen. She assured him that she did, al-

' though there was nothing she disliked ! so much. j Here a young woman in a black spangled gown and with a bit of court . plaster placed effectively on her painted cheek, mounted the platform beside i the piano and with grimaces, tang a j popular song. The chief quality of her : voice was loudness, and it wrapped hopefully with the clatter of the dishes and the general din. A SONG SHE LOVED Then a shallow, pimple-faced dissi- ' pated-looking youth in rumpled dress ; suit sang "The Rosary," Helen shud- : dered. She loved that song, but to hear l it sung by that man in that way gave : her a sense of revulsion. ! Suddenly she realized that he was looking directly at her an: singing with an admiring leer. She dropped her eyes, furiously indignant and with a feeling of physical repulsion. And rigidly she held her gaze to her plate , until the sons; was over. Just then there was a lull in the ' music, and from the next table this bit , of conve rsation came to them very ! clearly. ' "I can't see why anybody wants to drink that red ink." It was a girl's voice. "Oh, that's a disinfectant they serve : with the dinner to kill the germs," answered the man with her. "I say, ! old man, that's not bad," said Dalton turning around and addressing the ' man who made the comment, i "Oh, it's not original," he laughed ! back. "I've heard that before." i Helen was constantly being surpris- ', ed at the lack of convention, the easy , formality of it all. People commented i back and forth from table to table

with the greatest unconcern. She tried to enjoy it, to enter into the spirt of things as Warren had told her she must but she found it very hard. Where was the charm of it all? What did people find in it to call "Bohemian" and to so eagerly seek? Eating a poorly served dinner in a badly ventilated room while they listened to atrocious music! And yet the place was packed, and they said it was this way every night. But at last it was over, and they were whirring back in the Dalton's big easy car, with the fur rugs tucked about them. Helen sniffed the fresh, cold air gratefully. "Oh, this seems so good after that

I rinse, overheated nlace." she could not

help but say. "I am afraid Mrs. Curtis is not a good Bohemian," laughed Mrs. Dalton. "Then we'll make her one," declared Mr. Dalton, as the car stopped before the door. "We're going to have a. lot of these little jaunts together, eh, Curtis?" "To be sure we are," asserted Warren heartily, as he helped Helen out. And Helen could only smile a faint assent as she answered their merry "Goodnights."

BUSINESS WOMEN AS WIVES

By DOROTHY DIX.

YOUNG man who has fallen

in love with pretty steno

grapher, but who fears that she will not make a good

housekeeper and manager because she has had no domestic training, writes to me for my opinion on the business girl as his wife. What do 1 think of the business girl as a wife. 1 think she is the preferred matrimonial risk, son. and if I were a young man, looking for a real helpmeet and not a parlor ornament, no girl would get me who hadn't had the benefit of the education, the discipline and the experience that come from having earned her own bread and butter. Commercial life has got a college course or a finishing school or European travel or society left at the post when it comes to fitting a girl for real life. Of course, it's unfortunate for a girl, when she marries, not to be an expert cook and marketer, and maybe while your business-girl wife is learning how to make bread and broil a steak your digestion may suffer a trifle, son, but take my word for it that uny young woman who has had the in

telligence to master the art of stenog-

Iranhw to hold down a eood iob as a

clerk or bookkeeper, isn't going to let a little thing like a kitchen range knock her out. She will get busy with the cook book, and before you know it she will make the girl who has learned to do things the way that mother did them seem like a quick lunch joint compared to Delmonico's. ADVANTAGES. Any woman who can read can learn to cook like a cordon bleu in six months, if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to, the mere fact of her turning out things en casserole make the hit or miss cooking of the a la maitre d'hotel that will guarantee that she is domestic. Mother makes the angel cake in many a home where the daughters sit in the parlor and do fancy work. In marrying a business girl there are many compensating advantages that make up for her not being a good free hand cook to begin with. The first of these is, of course, that the woman who has earned money is invariably a better manager with it and more careful than the one who has not.

THE DANCES OF TODAY

Bv Evelyn Nesbit Thaw

The pictures reproduced today, especially posed for this page, show Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's way of dancing the Tango the kind of Tango she believes to be the best and most graceful variant of the South American dance of that name. This dance, in which Mrs. Thaw has the help of Jack Clifford, she has named the North American Tango, because it is more suited to Northern methods of dancing that its South American namesake.
