PAGE EIGHT By Nell Brinkley Married Life the Third Year Christmas Troubles

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Oh, that lBn't real, murmured Helen as the curtain went down amid an uproarious applause. "People don't like that." Mr. Travis laughed. "Of course not. You don't expect stage dialogue to be what people bay in real life, do you?" "But the program says "A Realistic Drama rf Everyday Life." "Hum. we'd all have nervous prostration in a week if we lived our every day life like that. They take the most artificially and far-fetched plays nowadays and stamp them 'plays of everyday life.'" "What are you two people complaining about?" demanded Mrs. Stevens who had been scrutinizing through her opera glasses some people in the opposite box. "Oh, we've been discussing the unrealities of the realistic play," laughed Mr. Travis. "Oh who wants to see realism on the Btage? The less like real life a play is the more pleasant it'll be." "That's a nice cheerful thought," observed Mrs. Stevens. "Well, isn't i ttrue that we come to the theatre for amusement and distraction not to have the sordid commonplaces of our own lives 'faithfully photographed! " "I'm not so sure about that," answered Mr. Travis. "It seems to me there's a certain grim satisfaction in knowing that other peoples lives are as sordid and unpleasant as your own." A THOUGHTLESS REMARK. "But just now I don't feel that life is sordid or unpleasant. Helen regretted this statement as soon as she had made it, for Mrs. Stevens laughed triumphantly. "Oh you don't! Why dear, you're improving. I thought Mr. Travis and I could drag you out of your shell." Helen fliif-hed and nervously opened and shut the little white fan she carried. She resented the "Mr. Travis and I." Was Mrs. Stevens deliberately trying to throw her with Mrs. TraviB? Was this why she arranged the box party?" But here the curtain rose on the third act and Helen's thoughts were turned to the stage. Curiously enough the play dealt with the love of a man

for a married woman whose husband did not love her. There were a number of scenes in which he urged her to get ; her freedom, but for her child s sake she refused. While there was no real similarity in this play to her own life, yet Helen felt sure that Mrs. Stevens was drawing some comparison. Mrs. Stevens had never liked Warren. She had happened to call one day and found Helen (Tying after one of Warren's irritable outbursts, and had started then to say what she thought of him but Helen had indignantly silenced her. And now had Helen not felt that Mrs. Stevens was making some compnriFon between the play and her own life, she would have enjoyed the evening immensely. She had only been in the box once or twice' before, and it was keenly interesting though somewhat disillusonizing to be near enough to see the make-up of the actors and to get occasional glimpses of stage j As she turned to look over the crowded house, all in darkness save j for the red lights at the exist, she was I stirred with some of the same impressions that must thrill the actors. A great sea of white faces filled the orchestra, balcony and gallery, and the breathless silence and nervous tension of many people seemed to charge the ir. There never was a woman who did not at some time long for the glamour and thrill of the foot-lights, and who did not secretly believe she had in her the elements of great a actress, and bow for a moment Helen was foolish enough to feel vaguely some such longing. "It isn't as alluring as it seems," whispered Mr. Travis, who had been keenly watching her face. MENTAL TELEPATHY. Helen started and looked at him in amazement. How had he known? He smiled at the question in her eyes. "Oh. I can read your thoughts sometimes." When the curtain fell on the last act the play had worked itself out to the stereotyped "happy end." The husband had conveniently shot himself in a fit of despondency brought on by large gambling losses and a week of dissipation. And the wife was left free to marry the "good and loyal" man who loved her. As they left the theatre Mr. Travis insisted that they all go somewhere for supper, but Helenfirmly refused. "I don't like tot break up the party," she apologized, "But I must get home ERUPTl LIKE ON FACE Covered with Watery Blisters. Itched and Burned Terribly. Little Rest at Night.

"In the pring of 1911 our little daughter, age five 'ears, bad a breaking ou on her Up and part of her cheek that we took for ringworm. It resembled a large ringworm, only it differed In that It was covered with watery blisters that itched and burned terribly, made worse by her scratching it.

I "That's why it's good for you. I'm not going to let you say no. I'll get the i tickets and leave Mrs. Stevens to per-1 suade you." And before she could protest he was ' gone. For the first time since Warren had been away Helen went to bed without writing him. It was late and she was verv tired. She would write in the ! morning. TROUBLESOME THOUGHTS.

Was it possible that Mrs. Stevenson was arranging this purposely? Here the dining room clock struck the half-hour half past twelve. She tried to put all disturbing thoughts out of her mind and go to sleep. She counted one hundred backward then started to count sheep going over a fence but was more widely awake than ever. It was useless. She could not sleep until she had written Warren. She got out of bed turned on the light and put down the window shivering in the cold, and with only a i dressing gown about her, she sat down to write. Dear Wrren: It is after midnight. But 1 could not go to sleep without writing; you. I went to the theatre tonight with Mrs. Ste-

A Mr. Travis was in the party. I think I wrote you about him before, he was with us at the Alden Club dinner. Here Helen paused. Should she say he had brought her home? And then she felt her face burn why shouldn't she say so? What was getting into her lately that she had such curious thoughts. He brought me home tonight. Next week they are going to see "The Bystanders." and want me togo with them. They all seem to think I ought to get out more, but I'm sure that I'll not go so soon again. . "Oh, dear. I do miss you so and you 1 say nothing about coming back. Every j letter I look for some word of when , you will return. Surely it will not be ; much longer. And write me. Warren try to write a little oftener. The last two words were noted. You see I cannot miss even one of my nightly letters to you. Was so tired tonight that I thought I would let it go this once but I couldn't sleep. So I got up again and am huddled up here in my dressing gown, my fingers are so cold I can hardly write. It is beginning to snok. I can hear it on the window, and the wind is howling you know how it sounds in this court. And somehow it makes me feel more alone and need you more , than ever. ; A living good-night, dear. HELEN". Throwing about her a long coat Helen hurried out and rang for the elevator. !
