Married Life the Third Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Are they through?" asked Helen, as the two customs inspectors -walked indifferently away, leaving the open trunks with trays out and everything upset. "Yes, that is all. Now you straighten things back and lock up the trunks while I pay the duty. Here, I won't need this put It in with the steamer rugs," said Warren, throwing down his raincoat, and hurried off. Helen put things back as best she could, her cheeks still burning with resentment at the way the inspectors had roughly turned orer and pulled everything out. Eren her dainty lingerie, that she had packed with such care, had not escaped their ruthless Inspection. Secretly, Helen had no respect for a law that allowed strange men to go through one's most intimate possessions. And like almost every other woman, she would have' evaded or tricked the law if she could. To her it seemed an outrage that you could not brins home a few things for yourself and friends without being subjected td this Indignity. But Warren did not share these, views. The customs were for the support of the country, and he had a roan's respect for law as law. So he had insisted on her making an accurate list of every article she had bought. And now there was $23.60 duty to pay and she was fiercely indignant. All over the dock trunks and bags were being opened and subjected to the same inspection. Under the next letter, "D", a woman was excitedly arguing with one of the officers about some lace. And further down, under "O", Mrs. Oorham, whose stateroom had adjoined theirs, was almost crying over some evening gown, which she had evidently undervalued. Warren came up now with a porter, who put their baggage on a truck wheeled It down the dock and loaded

GIRLS! THICKEN AND BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR Bring back its gloss, lustre, charm and get rid of dandruff. To be possessed of a head of heavy, beautiful hair, soft, lustrous, fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff is merely a. matter of using a little Danderlne.

It on a cab. Mr. and Mrs. Walters, who had sat at their table, were getting Into a taxi just ahead. It i curious how close one feels to fellow travellers on board ship and how as soon as they land they become strangers again. And now, as Helen bowed and smiled an Indifferent goodbye to the Walters, she realized how transient such friendships are. "Well, we got through that pretty easy." commented Warren, as they drove off. "The best way is to declare everything. Show 'em you are square and you won't have any trouble." "But. Warren. I thoueht those men

were HORRID the way they dragged everything out! And they insisted I had bought that dress over there Just because it had a Paris label!" "Oh, well, they have so many crooked women to deal with, they have got to be careful. Women are always smuggling things in. They are a lot worse than men." "But I can never see why yo shouldn't be anowed to brin In what you want for your own use," declared Helen. "Of course you can't. You women are all alike there is not one of you that wouldn't smuggle if you got the chance." Helen flushed, and adroitly changed the subject. "Oh dear, do you realize that we will be home In just a few minutes! Look, don't the streets seem strange? Oh, I feel we have been away for years!" The cab stopped at a crowded crossing, and Warren beckoned to a newsboy on the corner. "Let's see what the papers look like," as he opened one and threw another Into Helen's lap. She glanced over the headlines of the various graft and scandal cases that had developed since they left.

There Is nothing that so emphasizes a few month's absence as the unfamiliar names In the newspaper headings. Warren had turned to the stock reports. NEARING HOME. "Huh, pretty strong market Steel is up Union Pacific, too. Election doesn't seem to have affected things much." But Helen was too excited to read. In a few moments they would be home and that evening they would go for Winifred. 8he had telephoned to Warren's mother from the dock the moment they landed. Winifred was well, but Mrs. Curtis had insisted that they should not come for her until evening, so that Helen might have Urn to rest and get unpacked. "Oh, Warren, look!" as they passed a towering office building. "That is almost finished they didn't have the framework up when we left." "They put things through in a hurry here. Takes a trip to London to make you appreciate that." "Oh, dear, I can't realize that we are almost home! I wonder how the apartment will look." "Very much the same as when we left it, I should say." , "Yes, I know; but nothing looks quite the same." At last they drew up. Helen jumped down without waiting for Warren to help her and ran up the steps with her heart abeat. There was a new elevator boy-she missed the freckle wreathed smile of the old one. "Six dollars is a mighty stiff price for that cab," grumbled Warren, as he

' joined her In the hall while the jani

tor brought in their luggage. "Why, you didn't have to pay that?" in dismay. "Oh, these cabmen from the docks

always soak yeu. Regular hold-up game. But there Is no use kicking; if you want your baggage brought up with you' that's the only way." "And think how cheap taxis were In London! I will never want to take one here." HOME AT LAST. Delia had evidently been watching and had seen them drive up, for she was standing at their door when they left the elevator. "Oh, Delia, I was so afraid you would not get my letter in time," was Helen's first greeting. "Oh, yes ma'am, it came Thursday. I got here yesterday morning." Helen was gazing around the sitting room. How familiarly unfamiliar it looked! Then she went from one

room to another. Everything was

Just the same and yet curiously different. Warren was looking over the pile of mail that was on the sitting room

table. He threw out some letters ad

dressed to her and glanced hurriedly over the others. Then he went to the phone and called up the office.

"Oh, Warren, you are not going

down right away?" as he rang off. "That's what you heard me say

wasn't it? Think I am going to hang around here all morning?" He was unstrapping his trunk now. Where

did you put that bundle of papers

the one I had out on the steamer?

Want to take them down with me." Helen found the papers and saw

him off with a curious dread of being left alone. There is usually a "let down" with the home-coming from any trip. The excitement and interest of getting ready for a journey is very different from the more or less depressing effect of unpacking afterwards. And now Helen faced this day of getting straightened out and putting things away with a certain shrinking dread. As she unpacked her trunk, every article recalled some Incident of the trip. This was a veil she had bought at one of the big Oxford street shops. And here was a bottle of tooth pow-

: der from a quaint old chemist's on

Fleet street the address was on the label. But the dinner cards, theatre

programs and souvenirs were the hardest to look over,, for each one brought up many memories. Yes, it had been a wonderfnl trip. It seemed more wonderful now than it had at the time. Why do you always appreciate things more when they are passed? She felt a homesick longing to go back, to live the trip over again, to make more of its possibilities.

DEPRESSION. She had spread a newspaper on the floor before her trunk, and now as she laid out some things she happened to see the date Saturday, June 8, the day they had sailed! Oh, if she might go back to that morning! if onl ythe trip was still before her! Would they ever go abroad again? Would she ever have another opportunity? She bad glimpsed the great outside world, and It made her realize In what a tiny corner she lived; her life and Its interests seemed suddenly narrow and purposeless. After all, what had she to look forward to? She felt now that she wanted to get the trunks unpacked, to put away every evidence of the trip. It would be less hard to take up the old routine when these things were not about. It was not often that Helen yielded to a spell of depression for such a cause. Her love for Warren had kept every stage of her married life, however unhappy, athrob with interest. But now, somehow, the influences of the trip overshadowed everything else, and for the moment her strongest feeling was that her life was narrow and commonplace, and that the future held nothing but the same monotonous routine. "We will want some washing powder and soap right away, ma'am?" and Delia, who was getting ready to wash the soiled clothes they had brought back, stood intrudlngly in the doorway. "And hadn't you better make out a list of the other things, too?"

"All right, Delia, fn just a moment." And with a feeling of rebellion, Helen

put down some souvenirs of the London trip and went into the witchen to make out a list of such prosaic necessities as washing powder and soap.
