Married Life the Third Year
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER It was with much reluctance that Helen had consented to chaperon Al ice at this dinner in Dick Fairchild's j apartment. And now as she hurried down to the car in which they awaited her, she almost regretted that her "nc had not been more decisive. Warren bad been gone two days and uhe had hardly been out of the house since he left. She knew the change and distraction would be good for her, but she felt so little in the mood for anything of this kind. "It was dear of you to come," said Alice, as Fairchild stepped out and hefped Helen into the car. "We're so tired of dining around at restaurants and hotels. It's much nicer at nis apartment, but since Mrs. Vance went South there's no one to chaperon me." Even in the quick drive there, Helen discovered that something was wrong plainly they had been quarreling. Although they had talked freely to her they had very little to say to each other. And there were traces of tears under Alice's veil. But 6he had never looked more beautiful, the white furs brought out all the delicate fairness of her face. And Fairchild in his evening clothes seemed more distinguished and taller than ever, his silk hat almost touching i the top of the cab. j When they reached the j-partment j the door was opened by a Japanese j servant. The rooms were large and j exquisitely furnished. Helen had nevrr before been in a millionaire batche- j lor's apartment, and she was struck i by the luxurious appointments. It re- i minded her of an elaborate stage set- j ting of some society play. i The Japanese showed them into a ' dressing room where they laid aside their wraps. On a low toilet table ; were all the silver and cut glass ar- j tides that cculd be found in tne daintiest woman's boudoir. "Of course you saw something was wrong," murmured Alice as she fluffed up her haid before the mirror. "It's the same thing it always is! He says it's all my fault that I'm insanely jralcus. But how can I help it when he's lunching and dining with other women all the time. "But Alice you cannot go on like this," looking anxiously at the beautiful face. "Can't you see you're much thinner that all this is telling on you fearfully?" "Oh, I know," recklersly. "I suppose when we're married Le'll break my heart if he doesn't do it before. But what can I do? I love hi n too much to give him up." "Come dear," urged Helen. "We mustn't stay here he'll know we're talking about him." They went back into the music room where he awaited him. The walls were lined with photographs of actresses with their heavily linked scrawled signatures. White bear skins covered the floor and a numberof deer heads, trophies of his hunting trips, hung about. As the Japanese came to the door to announce dinner ,a telephone rang in the hall. "Pardon me, I'll have to answer this Jap can't talk over the phone." "Some woman," whispered Alice. "I never come up here that half a dozen (!"i't callhlm up." "Yes, I know who it Is." his voice plainly strained "Why nothing No one." "She's asking him who's here," whispered Alice. "She knows some one's here by the way he answers." "What do you expect me to say? No. I can't this evening. I'll call you up in the morning "Yes. Good-bye." "Who was that Dick?" asked Alice as he came back into the room. "Why, dear, what a question to ask." "Well, I've a right to ask it. I know It was a woman but which one?" "Now, Alice, don't begin that." Then ! turning to Helen: "She has some absurd idea that every time the phone rings it it's a woman." "It isn't an absurd idea it's the truth." Here to Helen's relief, the Japanese again announced dinner. The dining room, was richly panelled In black oak and rare old silver glistened in table and sideboard. To Helen, who was used to much simpler service and table appointments, it was full of interest. They had hardly finished the oysters when the phone rang again. Excusing himself, plainly disconcerted at the interruption. Fairchild left the table. Alice shrugged her shoulders. "I said half a dozen, didn't I? Well, this is the second, so far." "But. Alice, aren't you a little unreasonable? Just because the telephone rings it doesn't mean it's a woman." "Just listen! Is that the way he'd talk to a man?" "Why, I'm sorry," came the voice from the hall. I sent the car at four I i;c'e;ht, of course, he'd get there in time." ' Some woman borrowing his car," whispered Alice. "Why, surely they don't do that," aske'l Helen in a shocked voice. "They DON'T?" with a cynical lau!li. "Listen!" "Yes. Ill see that it gets there in time Thursday No, I can't now. I'll talk that over when I see you. Goodbye." When he came back to the table, Alice kept her eyes on the plate in a strained silence. Helen tried to keep up the conversation. But it was not a very happy dinner. As the salad was served the 'phone rang again. "Let it ring," he said impatiently. "Oh. would you disappoint one of yov.r lady friends?" asked Alice sarcastically. HE APPEALS TO HELEN. lie laid down his knife and fork with a helpless gesture. "You see," turning to Helen, "she's absolutely obsessed on the subject." She's nagging me to desperation about it. If you could only make her see the unreasonableness of this jealousy." "Unreasonableness?" asked Alice bit terly. "It is unreasonableness to be jealous when four or five women call you up every evening?" The telephone was keeping up a thrill persistent ringing. "I'll have that phone cut off," angrily, as he threw down his napkin and left the table. "I knew you couldn't resist answering it," Alice called after him. "Oh, Alice, don't you see you are only aggravating him this way? If yon won't give him up you'll have to take him as he is. Tou can never make him over." "Ob, I know but I can't help it. You don't know what it is to be consumed with jealousy. Look, I ha vent eaten a thins-. I can never eat when I'm with. him. There. listen!" as again came his voice from the hall.

The arm-boles are low, and the tiny sleeve is edged with chincilla, as is the tunic of plaited taffeta. Four circular flounces trimmed in taffeta buttons fall below the tunic. The line of flounces and of tunic is cutaway. The bottom of the skirt opens over a petticoat flounce of turquoise chiffon. The home dressmaker will find it possible to copy this dress at small "Alice, you MUSTN'T listen! it isn't like you. And you shouldn't have asked him who it was that phoned. You mustn't let your jealousy drive you to such things? WThat will be think of you?" "He?" with a contemptuous shrug "Oh, he'd listen any time. He hasn't any scruples about those things. But It was useless to ask who it was he wouldn't have told me the truth. He never does." "Well, Alice," as he again took his seat at the table. "This time it was an old chauffeur of mine who wanted his place back. You don't believe me?" as Alice made a disbelieving motion with her hands. "How can I when you lie to me so often?" Fairchild turned to Helen: "There, you see she's hopeless! There's nothing I can do that'll satisfy her." "Well, I'm afraid we're not maging this a very pleasant dinner for Helen. Alice pushed back her plate with a bitter laugh. "If we intended to quarrel all the time, we might as well have gone to a restaurant." Coffee was served in the library and the rest of the evening was as strained and uncomfortable as had been the dinner. "It's always like this." murmured Alice as they put on their wraps while Fairchild ordered the car. "We have not had a happy evening together for months." i An hour later Helen was standing before the mirror in her own room, slowly brushing her hair for the night. She was living over every incident of the evening the dinner and the drive home. In a way she could understand Alice's love for this man. His charm and magnetism were undeniable. And yet his outrageous flirtations with other women. Were all society men like that? she wondered. Were none of them content with the love of on woman?" She finished plaiting her hair, slipped into a warm dressing gown and then eat down to write Warren his nightly letter. , She told him every incident of the dinner, and how it had all made her realize more than ever how much his loyalty meant. "Oh, dear, I am so glad that I have never known jealousy. Whatever mis understandings or estrangement we ' have had that had never been the i cause. You have always been true j and loyal to me. And tonight I feel that after all that is the greatest thing. I love you dear oh, so much! "Good-night," HELEN. "The Best Medicine I Ever Used."

Mr. Kielne's success became so apparent. numerous imitators have entered the field with one. two and three reel picture tn the same subject; however, they oannot approach Mr. Kielne's production tn masalvenesa or detail or spectacular grandeur. A London authority, review ma "Quo Vadls" states: Tbe Story of the Pboto-Drama. Act 1. parte I. 3 and S.
