f AGV JSICRXr "Too Busy" By Nell Brinkley

Married Life the Thrd Year When Helen hwmg the telephone receiver, the honied straight to the clothes closet In her coon, and hastily unpinned the sheet thst evered her - best gowns. ' Taking from Its hanger a pale-blue . evening gown, she spread It out on the bed. Against the white counterpane it looked even more soiled than she had feared. Oh, why had she put off haying It cleaned? She should 4 hare known that something unexpected would come up, and she would have nothing to wear. " , . Since ther had moved into their new apartment, Helen had been so ; busy getting settled and then getting ready for Christmas, that she had had , no time or thought for clothes. She - had needed a new evening gown badly, but had wantd to wait until the January clearance sales, hoping to get something greatly reduced. ' Just that morning sne had cut out the advertisement of an exclusive shop announcing their annual stocktaking reductions. Evening and dinner gowns, imported models at lesa than cost of importation. But even If she could trad what she wanted, there would not be time to have anything fitted and delivered today. Again she tarned back to the g own on the bed. Perhaps at night it would not look so soiled. Quickly she drew down the blinds and switched on the lignts, then held the gown up before her and looked at it in the mirror. "Maggie," she called suddenly, as she heard her sweeping in the hall, "come here a moment." Maggie came to the door, a dust cloth hi her hand. "Come, look at this," demanded Helen, "Do you think it's too soiled for me to wear tonight? Tea, I know It's dreadful around the bottom," as Maggie stooped over and turned up the skirt, "but that won't show much. Do you think the waist looks too soiled?" "Tes, miss," with blunt honesty. "I think that' looks right soiled. Ain't you got nothing else you can wear?" "No, since I ripped up that lavender silk, this is my only evening gown. And Mr. Curtis just phoned it's to be a dress affair." "Can't you dip it in gasoline?" suggested Maggie, "that would freshen it up a bit" "Yes, I thought of that," for Helen was an expert at gasoline cleaning. "But there wouldn't be time now for the odor to get out." "There's the dumbwaiter man," as a distant bell rang faintly, and Maggie hurried off. It served her right, Helen had told herself fiercely, for not always having at least one dress ready for an emergency. If It was anything else, she could make some excuse not to go, but this was the recital of Mr. Courtney's daughter, who had just returned from Europe and was making her first professional appearance. Warren had just telephoned, saying that Mr. Courtney had evidently mailed him the tickets last week, but that he had just found them on his desk and that the rictal was to be tonight. "It's a nuisance, of course, but we'll have to go," he grumbled. "Courtney's been pretty decent to me in a number of ways, and I don't want to

offend him. I suppose we 11 have to dress it's sure to be a dress affair." And then he had rung off before Helen had time to protest that she did not have "a THING to wear." For fully half an hour Helen anguished over the soiled blue gown, trying to think of something she could do that would make it presentable. It was the chiffon which draped the waist and formed the over skirt that was the most soiled. And at last she decided there was but one thing to do to rip off all the chiffon and wash it It would wash beautifully but would Bhe have time to get It all on again? It would be almost like remaking the dress. But there was no other way. A moment later she had drawn a low chair on the bed and with desperate haste began ripping off the chiffon. "Maggie," she called, "get out that clothes rack and put on a couple of irons. I'mm going to wash this out and press it while it's damp." It was 3 o'clock when she began. By four the chiffon, looking like new, was ready to put back. But to get It back right would mean fully a day's work, and she had only until half past eight. At five the telephone rang. Helen told Maggie to answer It. "It it's anyone calling, say that I'm not in," she warned her. "I just can't see any one this afternoon." It was Mrs. Dawson and Helen particularly wanted to see her, but she dared not take a moment from her work. A little later Carrie, Warren's

EAGER TO WORK Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. "A year ago, after recovering from an operation," writes a Michigan lady, "my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble. "At times my appetite was voracious, but when Indulged, indigestion followed. Other times I had no appetite whatever. The food I took did not nourish me and I grew weaker than ever. "I lost interest in everything and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trifle would upset me and bring on a violent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed exercise was out of the question. "I had seen Grape-Nnts advertised, but did not believe what I read, at the time. At last, when it seemed as if I were literally starving, I began to eat Grape-Nuts. "I had not been able to work for a year, but now, after two months on Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work again. My stomach gives me no trouble now, my nerves are as steady as ever, and interest In life and ambition have come back with the return to health." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

"Oh, dear, I've got to finish this! It's the only thing I've got to wear, and it was perfectly filthy! I washed all this chiffon and I'm trying to get It back." "Hugh, why don't you keep your clothes in order? You're always having to make over a dress every time we go anywhere." But Helen, sewing like mad, did not have time to be indignant. "Dear, I can't stop for dinner," she called out later. "You won't mind having it alone, will you? I couldn't eat anything anyway." "Now you put that down and come eat your dinner?" ordered Warren. "I'll not stand for any such foolishness" Helen went to the table, gulped down a plate of soup and then begged off and hurried back. At a quarter of eight, she was putting in the final hasty stitches. But when she got into the gorwn she found to her dismay that the skirt did not set right. She had stretched the chiffon in sewing it on. "Ready?" called in Warren. "I'm going to order the taxi now." "Yes, dear, but do come and see if this will do! Look how it draws

here," anxiously smoothing it over her hip. "Does it show very much?" j Warren, whose evening clothes were always in perfect condition, and who had dressed comfortably without flurry, stood at the door viewing Helen's flushed nervousness with frowning disapproval. WARREN'S COMMENTS. "Oh, your dress is all right. Nobody is going to notice it, anyway. Hurry up now. The cab'll be here in a moment." Ten minutes later they were whirling down the avenue. Helen who had

rushed off half ready, was adjusting her hair and the scarf over her head by the narrow mirror inside the cab. "By jove," growled Warren. "I'd like just once to see you get dressed before we started out." "But dear, it took so long to get this chiffon back and it isn't right now. But if we're sitting down, maybe it won't be noticed." Helen had thought there would be a line of cabs drawn up before the hall, but to her surprise theirs was the only one. Could they be too early? As they passed the box office, they found the doors were closed, but they could hear faintly the sound of a piano and a high soprano voice. Evidently they were not allowed to enter during one one of the numbers, for a dozen or more people were waitingBut in that waiting group there was not one woman In evening dress. The suits and hats contrasted strangely with Helen's scarf-covered head and white evening wrap. Filled with misgivings, Helen looked looked questionlngly at Warren. But he was tapping his cane impatiently and frowning at a poster of a youthful violinist on the wall. The number seemed endless, but at last the coive thrilled triumphantly on a final high note and there was a sound of applause. Then the doors were opened and they passed through. In one sweeping glance Helen took In the whole place with its small "drab colored" audience. Not even a semi-evening dress was there. Helen swept down the aisle and into their seats, wretchedly conscious of the startling conspicuousness of her gown and her bare neck and shoulders. ANOTHER QUARREL. The strain of the last five hours' anxious work had told on her nerves and now she was filled with a fierce resentment at the needlesness of it alL "Oh, WHY did you say it was a drees affair V she whispered, under cover of the half-hearted applause

( that greeted Mies Courtney's re-ap-

heap of the business of the world. And still she rides to knee with her old friend LOVE. Still she powders her sassy nose and nooks at the world with the look in her eyes that whispers, "I am a woman and desirable," from behind the tender-hued veil of romance! But some little times the

eyes are absent-minded about sentiment there is no thought or sighing in them of "Ah, me, who shall marry me?" because the head behind them is full of ideas, full of problems and a while of effort, dreaming of success, threshing out plans, milling about in

the business of the world, in the fashion that man's head has had a monopoly on for so long. But do you think it will be that some day Love may send in his card to this greatbrained Miss, and have her turn with an unllghted eye from her books, have

And we had to come in a taxi and we'll have to go back in one, for I've got on these white slipper. Oh, Warren, why DIDN'T you ." "For Heaven's sake cut it," he growled. "Cut it, I tell you." Helen subsided, but she was angry and resentful all through. Already she had taken an unreasoning aversion to the insipid young woman, who was now trilling some French song in a trained but colorless voice. Why should a person like that have recitals? And why should their friends feel forced to attend them?

Defective electrical, wiring as a source of fire in Indiana, caused property owners a loss of $147,503 in eight months' time, according to the statistics gathered by the Indiana state fire marshal. The value of the property jeopardized by fire from this source is estimated by the fire marshal as 12,062,204. "One of the first things to be noticed in these figures," said the fire marshal, "is that a large number of 'defective wiring' fires occur in business houses and property of great value. Although our reports show that 108 fires in eight months were the result of defective wiring, the total value of the property upon wheih occured during this same period. It is consequently of great importance that business men see that all wiring in stores and factories be in safe condition." Costs 100 Lives Yearly. In addition to the loss of property which naturally results, the fire marshal Is also emphasizing the hazords of defective electrical wiring because of the inevitable dangers to human life. The fire marshal estimates that more than 100 people lose their lives each year in the United States from defective electrical construction. Brass shell sockets, pendant switches

and flexible cords in rooms having stoves, bath tubs, sinks or damp floors, are regarded as particularly dangerous to life by the state fire marshal. "One cf the first principles which every property owner should follow," says the fire marshal, "is only to entrust the placing and care of electrical

fixtures to a competent electrical engineer. There is too much wiring done by amateurs and novices. Wherever possible, and especially in all business houses, all wiring should be placed in conduit." For the purpose Of assisting property owners in protecting buildings from loss by defective wiring, the fire marshal has issued the following rules. Rules for Safety.

1. Do not carry lamps about

there is a defect somewhere that may cause serious fire. 3. Keep inflammable material, such as paper, away from lamps and sockets. 4. Do not hang lamp cords on nails, gas fixtures or other fixtures that will conduct electricity. 5. Keep stock boxes and barrels away from fires. 6. Keep cut-out and fuse cabinets clean and do not use them for storage. The fire marshal states that many difficulties are encountered in the at

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old-time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply.

After proposing three times and being and being rejected on account of his ugliness, a man was injured in an accident so severly that when he recovered his face had been so completely reconstructed, decidedly for the better. He proposed again and was accepted.
