And I knew right Married Life the Third Year DY MABEL HERBERT URNER. The only sound in the room was the occasional rustle of Warren's paper. It was New Year's day, and for Helen, it had been far from a happy one. Warren still maintained towards her the sullen silence of the past week. Since her determination not to go to his sister Carrie's for New Year's dinner he had hardly spoken to her. It was now almost five. Helen knew Carrie's dinner was to be at seven, and that she wanted Warren to come early to make the punch. Was it possible that he was not going? He had said nothing of dressing. For the last hour he had been reading steadily without, even glancing at the clock. In his smoking jacket and slippers, and with the papers and magazines about, him, he seemed settled for the evening. Could it be that after all he had decided to stay with her? Her heart leaped at the thought. Even though he was still angry even though he spent the evening in sullen silence if he would only stay! If he would not leave her alone this New Year's evening! All day she had a headache, a throbbing headache, brought on she knew by brooding over it all, which made it even harder for her to bear the thought of spending the evening alone. Suddenly Warren flung down his paper and glanced at the clock. Her heart sank then after all he was going! He rose from his chair, yawned, stretched, thrust his hands into his pockets and strode over to the window. For several moments he stood there looking out. At last he swung around with an abrupt. "So you're not going to change your mind? You're determined not to go?" "Why, Warren, I couldn't go now if I wanted to. You know I am almost sick with thi3 headache!" "Headache! You said all along you weren't going. Why put it on a headache now?" "I'm not. I merely said I couldn't go I w ith this headache, but I also say I should'nt have gone anyway." Helen was sorry as soon as she had said this. Always above everything else she wanted not to irritate him, ! j 1 , MOTHER! IS CHILD'S STOMACH SOUR, SICK?

Oh, all lovers who are away from the smile of one another's eyes here's all kinds of wishes wishes that a special letter is starting loverward his very night for fortune that will .suddenly, in good humor, twist your 1 and yet at times he goaded her into making some just retort. "That's a pleasant speech," sarcastically. "I suppose you know this is a nice way to begin the New Year," as he kicked aside the paper he had dropped on the floor and started into his room to dress. "Oh, Warren, you don't know how I regret all this how I wish I could go. Rut how can I after the way Carrie treated me Christmas. I can't go to her house for dinner. I don't, think I ever can and certainly I can't now." A CUTTING RETORT. "Well, you're not punishing anyboy but yourself. Don't get it into your head that anybody is going to care. Carrie's dinner will go off as well without you, and probably a blooming sight better than if you'd go and make a scene as you did Christmas." Helen bit her lip. Ever since Christmas day at his father's when she had indignantly carried Winifred out of the room to get. her away from the matieous teasing of Carrie's children. Warren had called it a "scene." He was always accusing her of "making scenes" that was a favorite stock phase of his because he knew she shrunk from it. He had gone into the bedroom and slammed the door. He was dressing rapidly. She could tell by the sounds of his moving about the room and of drawers being hurriedly opened and closed. In a few moments he would be gone. And she would be left to spend her evening alone New Year's evening! All day the tears had been very near, but she forced them back. Long experience had taught her that tears only irritated him to further harshness. In a few moments he came out. Warren was always well groomed but he looked particularly well in evening dress. "Where's that other cane the one I just had a new furrule put on?" "Isn't it on the hall rack?" He strode to the hall. "No, It's not here. If you would just leave things where" "Oh, then Delia must have put it In the closet. Wait. I'll get it." ANXIOUS MOMENTS. She found the cane and brought it to him. He had his cot on now- and was carefully smoothing his silk hat. He did not look up as Helen stood the ! jcane against the hat rack and then w ent back into the sitting room. , Would he go out without telling her 'good - bye? Except to ask for his cane; he had not spoken since he had start- j , ed in to dress. And now was he going i to leave her this wav? Only the loud ricking clock accentuated the silence. Why was he linj gering out in the hall? Was he still i smoothing his hat? Or was he tryinc to decide whether to come in and tell her good-bye or to go on out without a word? To Helen the moments seemed endless before she heard his resolute ; steps toward the hall door. Then the am1 closing of the door and ! With an effort to swallow the lump I in her throat, she ran to the window. A moment later she saw him cross th. street and wait on the corner. But he did not once look up. his eyes were fixed on the approaching car. Did he feel that she was watching him? Still without an upward glance, he sprang in the car. When it had disappeared Helen turned back and gazed around the room. So this was to be her New 'Year's evening. ' There was only one thing to do work! It would be useless to trv to ! reaJ. No book could hold her atten- ! tion now. And to sit down and brood, to give herself up to her sense of des- ' Olation and Self pity. WOUld Only mean i that she would cry herself ill. Quickly she got out a waist, the collar of which needed altering and j resolutely went to work. Delia was off for the afternoon. Winifred was asleep Never had the place been so silent and lonely.

Oh, all good, good wishes. For when there are two lovers and the two of them make one, and the all? Would her absence cast no shadow on his New Year's dinner? THINKING OF THE PAST. And then her mind went back over the past year, over all their disagreements and the constant warring of their temperaments. Then the whole two years of their marriage passed before her. She saw the gradual drifting apart, the lessening of common interest, If they had drifted so far in two years what would the third be? What further estrangements did the New Year hold? A year they had begun in this manner how might it not end. Oh, if this was only New Years! Of all days, how could Warren leave her alone today? Sh tried to think it only foolish superstition the belief that any unhappiness on New Year's day would shadow the rest of the year. Hut the tears so blurred her eyes that she could hardly see to thread the needle. What was that? Helen started from the chair. It sounded like the opening of the hall door. Surely it was too early for Delia. But how could any one else The sitting room door opened. "Oh, Warren, Warren!" as she rushed toward him with a sob of joy. "There, there," patting clumsily on the shoulder as she clung to him. "Now, don't be a little goose. Carrie's down stairs in a taxi. She says she is not going back until you come with us. Now if she's done this much you can meet her half way, can't you?" "Oh, yes yes! Of course I will!" "That's the girl! Now hurry up and get ready. They won't sit down until we come. She drew his head down to hers and kissed with fierce tender little kisses. "Oh, you couldn't, you wouldn't have left me alone New Year's evening, J could you?" t "Well. I haven't, have I? No, don't ; be foolish! Run along quick and get ready, they're waiting dinner for us j now."

Some Can and Some Cannot Drink Coffee Without Dangerous Results But if you intend to win out in life you will need a clearer head and steadier nerves than the coffee drinker usually has. Coffee contains caffeine, a subtle, poisonous drug, and its use a.s a daily routine beverage causes more or less disturbance of nerves, he-art, stomach, liver or some other organ. This may not show for a time, but the coffee drug, caffeine (about 22 grains to the cup) is a cumulative poison and. for most persons a day of reckoning will surely come. But why wait until Nature drives home her arguments against coffee? Try this easy test quit coffee 10 days and try POSTUM. After a few days the habit-forming drug, caffeine, will be eliminated from the system, and the gradual return to old-time comfort will be the best evidence that coffee waa "getting you." There's no headache or pains of any kind in Post urn. It is a pure food-drink, made only of choice wheat and a little New Orleans molasses, and is absolutely free from caffeine or any other drug. Postum now comes in two forms. Regular Postum must be well boiled to bring out its delicious flavour and food value. Instant Postum (the new form) is a soluble powder. A spoonful stirred in a cup of hot water, with sugar and cream added, makes a perfect cup. instantly.
