Married Life the Second Year By MABEL HERBERT URNER.

A Fashion Fete The Acme of Freakishness

ELEX v.as awakened by a heavy

lurch of the train, a clanging bell anrl a sound of hissine

steam. She drew up the shade by her pillow, raised herself on her elbow and looked out. They were in a great arched station, the smoke from many engines curled

up to the dome-like roof. People were i

rushing back and forth. Trucks piled high with baggage rolled by. All around was noise and confusion. What place was this. Surely it was the station of some large city. "Bag- , gage room" waiting room" "telegraph room" everything but the name of the place. And then as a newsboy dashed : by, waiving a paper, she saw the heading the "Cincinnati" So this was Cincinnati. She took her j watch from her handbag. It was half ; past seven. She drew aside the curtains and glanced down the car. The j vhite coated porter was making up a j berth; and a number of sections were already up. J She would hurry and dress herself and Winifred, and then help her moth-1 er, so they would all be ready when I Will Farrel came through. His berth i

was In the next car, and he had said he wanted them to breakfast with him at nine. There was nothing much more difficult than to dress a baby on a sleepVr. While Winifred was very good, just the getting things in and out of satchels in such close quarters was experating. And the going out to the dressing room, carrying both Winifred and a batchel, was hot easy. And Winifred, who has never bathed except in her own little tub, objected most serenuously to the sponging off process on a lurching train. Then Helen had to help her mother, whom the night in the berth had given a severe headache.

It was just nine when Will Farrel

cana through to take them in to break fast, ilelen's mother protested that

she could not eat, and would rather tay quietly there than try to stir around. So Helen found herself breakfasting alone with Will. Her mother has insisted on keeping Winifred, and they sent her oatmeal and mirk by the waiter. "You look tired, didn't, you sleep well." asked Will solicitiously. "Oh, yes, as well as I ever do on a sleeper." "And you're not eating any breakfast. I'm afraid you've let that coffee get cold. I'll order some fresh. "No-on. please don't. 1 couldn't drink coffee.

"Helen, you are not well. I felt that when I saw you last winter, and I feel it more now. "Oh, I think I'm just tired. Getting the baby and myself ready for this trip rather overtaxed me." "It's morethan that," gravely. "You are not happy. You have not been happy since you married." Helen flushed hotly. "Will, you know you must not say such things to me." "Why mustn't I?" almost fiercely. "That night I dined at your house and your husband came home half intoxicated don't you think I knew, then you were not happy. I've been in New York twice since, but I didn't call on you because I could not bear to see you unhappy and feel my helplessness. But there are some things I can't help but say."

ever see you again if you talk like this?" "I haven't tried to see you Helen. I have told you why. We met on this train by accident. I have not. and shall not persue you in any way. I think you know that." "Oh, yes, of course I know that. But I" "But you don't want me to put into words what we both know. I have cared for you since our school days and I care still. And yet 1 must stand quietly by, realizing your unhappiness and my helplessness to change conditions in any way." "Since you have said this much you have made it necessary for me to say something more." For a moment she faltered, her eyes still on the napkin she was rolling tight in her trembling hands. "If if I am not happy, it is not because I do not care. I still love Warren almost in the same way I did when I married him. My unhappiness Is because he does not seem to to care for me." There was a long silence. Will was pushing back and forth the salt cellar before him. At length he said slowly: "Then he is even a greater brute than I thought. No, don't stop me I shall not speak again of him. You know I change at Indianapolis and we are almost there now. So I have only these few moments with you. And I want to ask you just one thing. He paused and then went on more slowly. "If conditions grow too difficult, if you should ever feel you could not gro on will you send for me to let

me help you? Not as I would-want to . . . . i . i

Humphreys, a noted writer, states: "To do the right thing at the right time in the right way; to do something better than it has ever been done before to eliminate error to knnw both sides of a question: to ba courteous; to be an example; to work for love of work; to anticipate requirements; to develop resouses; to recognize no impediment; to master circumstances; to act from reason rather than rule; to be satisfied with nothing short of the best."
