Married Life the Second Year

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Why Warren, how can you expect me to go? "Why not?" "After the way your people treated me Christmas and Carrie particularly? And now you think I'll go to her home for dinm-r? "It wan all your own fault. You'd no buuine.Sh to leave the room like that stalking out with a high and mighty air. Creating a net-no before everybody!" "Warren, you know 1 didn't create a scene! I Hiraply had to take Winifred out of the room because Roy persisted in blowing the horn in her face. "Oh, well, other people manage to get along with Carrie's children. I don't see why you can't." "Because they're always annoying Winifred. They're always doing something to make her cry. "She cries entirely too easy anyway. You've coddled and fussed over her until nobody can look at her without making her cry."" "You know that isn't true, Warren. You know Winifred is more delicate and more nervous tluin Carrie's children. And she's" "That's just wliat I was saying and it's your fault. It's the way you've raised her. Carrie brought up her children to bo hardy." "Would you want Winifred raised the way Carrie has raised Roy? Why I've heard you say he's the worst boy for his age you ever" "Oh, I suppose Carrie should make him mind more than she does. But at least, she hasn't made a hot house plant of him." "Winifred is not a hot-house plant," indignantly. "She's perfectly healthy, but her whole constitution is more delicate than Roy's. And I've never doddled her. I've always tried to" "See here, I've no time to listen to your method of raising Winifred.

What I want to know now is are you going to that dinner or not?" "No, Warren, I told you I couldn't go." "You mean you won't go you're stubbornly determined not to go. Why don't you tell the truth about it?" "Well, I'll tell you right now I'm not going to have any stir up In my family. You're going to that dinner, and you're going to act as though nothing happened. And you'll not. pull off any more high and mighty stunts either. It's about, time you're getting some common sense. And right here's where you're going' to get it!" "Warren, I can't let you talk to me like that." "I'll talk to you as I blame please!" Without another word Helen rose and quickly left the room, closing the door after her. HELEN IS ANGRY. She did not cry. Her indignation was too great for tears. She had gone into th ebedroom and locked the door. And now she stood with her hand still clenched to the door knob her cheeks aflame. Would he try to follow her? Fhe listened tensely. For several moments everything was very still. Then came the banging of the hall door. So he has gone out! Well, anything rather than a continuation of this! When he returned he would probably not speak to her at all. Hut she felt that even such a silence would be better than to go on saying things that were more and more bitter that perhaps they could never forget. At ten o'clock she wearily undressedand went to bed. It would only irritate him for her to wait up. It was after twelve when he came. Although Helen lay very quiet and did not turn, he knew she was not asleep. But he went to bed without speaking to her. The next morning he ate his breakfast in solid silence and left without kissing her good-bye. For Helen it was a long, unhappy day. Before evening she had worried herself almost sick. She knew that if she did nt go to Carrie's dinner that for weeks Warren would show his displeasure by his scowling sullen silence. But could she go? How could she

after their treatment of her on Christmas day? And now to give them another opportunity to further slight her to let Carrie's children annoy Winifred while the rest of the family looked complacently on! No, no, she would not go! It was not often that Helen took so firm a stand, but now she did not waver. CARRIE ON THE PHONE. When Warren came home for dinner he maintained the same stolid silence as at breakfagt. This was the way he was punishing her. And she knew if she did not go he would keep it up indefinitely. It was just as they letf the table that the phone bell rang. Helen usually answered the phone, and she did so now- without thinking. It was Carrie Helen knew her voice with the first "Hello." She had of course not seen or spoken to her since the Christmas incident, and now there was an embarrassed pause. Then Carrie said coldly: "Is Warren there?" ""Yes, I'll call him just hold the wire." "Warren, Carrie wishes to speak to you." she called into the sitting room. Warren came out and took the receiver. "Hello Oh, at 7? Well, that's sensible 1 loathe those noon-day dinners. No reason why you should ruin your digestion just because it's a holiday That's fine Yes, I'll .be there in time to make the punch Helen's not coming You'll have to ask her that I haven't the least idea. I'm only accounting for myself these days Yes I'll call pou up tomorrow Good-by." Warren came back to the sitting roo mand took up his paper without comment . Helen was standing by the window pressing her flushed face against the

cool pane of glass. The hall door had been open and she could not help but hear. Had Carrie asked him if she was coming? Or had he volunteered that information? And when he said you'll have to ask her about that" it was of course in answer to Carrie's "Why?" What would he have said if she had not been there had he not known she could har him? What would he say tomorrow when he called Carrie up from the office. WHAT WOULD HE SAY ? And now Helen with her sensitive and vivid imagination tortured herself with questions as to what he would say and to HOW he would say it? When Carrie pressed him for a reason for her not coming what reason would he eive? Of course Carrie know the reason, yet Helen felt that she would pretend not to know. That she would ignore the incident of Christmas and ask Warren, with well assumed surprise, '"Why isn't Helen coming?" And then what would Warren say? Would he refuse It and say, as he had tonight, "You'll have to ask her about that?" Or would he talk to Carrie about her? Would they talk over the incident of Christmas when she had so indignantly left the room? What would they say about it? Could Warren "talk her over" with any one even with his sister?

And now to Helen there came a sick realization that after all in many ways she stood alone. She could never again feel quite the same sense cf "being one" with Warren that she had before.
