My Sweethearts By Nell Brinkley DISMISS KOEHLER WASHINGTON. April 15. Major Benjamin M. Koehler of the Coast Artillery Corp has been sentenced to dismissal from the army by court martial which tried him on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, according to an announcement by Secretary of War Garrison today. The findings of the court martial have not been reviewed by the secretary of war and the sentence Is not final. Married Life the Third Year - Helen's brown broadcloth suit. In which she hag felt so well-groomed all winter, seemed suddenly shabby and dusty as she came out in the bright spring sunlight. Although she had brushed it before starting out, she stooped over now znd with her gloved hand shook the .-out of the skirt, and brushed one of Pussy Purrmew's hairs from her ieeve. The things that look so well all 'a inter are apt to look disconcertingly h;ibby on the first bright spring day. And Helen felt uncomfortably shabby as fche took the car at the corner and sat down in the only vacant seat by a woman in an assertfvely new light ray suit. As 6he took out her carfare, even her brown suede gloves looked conspicuously dark and dusty beside the fresh gray kids that held, with an air Great Britain's foreign trade for 1913 reached an unprecedented total. of supjerior daintiness, a gold meshed 4

bag. The air was quite chilly in spite of the brilliant sunlight, yet the brown suit seemed suddenly much too warm and too heavy. The realization that spring is far advanced and that she has no spring clothes is a dismaying one to any woman. Helen had started out to get the material for an afternoon gown, something in foulard or some soft summer silk. It would take her two weeks before she could get it made, and she needed it now. She left the car and hurried in to McCormick's. The store was crowded and the silk counter the most crowded of all. There was no chance of being waited on for some time. But Helen was fclad of the opportunity to look over I he many silks displayed on the counter and draped on skirt forms over the shelves. She had read and seou enough of the new spring fabrics to know they were gaily colored, but in McCormick's display today the colorings were riotous. Had Nothing Els. Just why American women should wear barbaric hues because there has bet m a war in the Balkans was not q M clear to Helen, and she had no Sr. . 'i lion of making herself conspic- ; ),.: lor any such freakish fashion. Lut when the clerk was free to u-i. on her' she found they had nothing in quiet colorings and I dEiftTis. "Everything's large i i and bordered this season," he , . -1 h?r. i . n haven't you something from i. i d that is more quiet?" . i u?ver carry anything over," , with a glance that implied . vt be a most peculiar person -. anything from last season. , . re was nothing to do but try - other shop, and Helen hurried cr to (toidon's. But the crowd - -.m1 tho silk counter here was

. n greater than at McCormick's and . display of colorings and designs ; . !,y as spectacular. j t iif counters were covered with a j-ifusion of bolts, which the overi .p1 salesmen had not had time to I put bark. As Helen glanced over j -. iQ.e she started joyfully. Here at' i was just what she wanted a . i '.astel blue foulard with a tiny, i l icct white figure. VI: e bolt was underneath several oihrr.-:, but on the exposed end was nvriu d the width and price "42 in. $o.u(,'." It was more than Helen wanted to pay, but all the silks were high this Spring, and she was so relieved to find something quiet amid this glaring effulgence of color that the words "six yards, of this please," hovered on her lips. She looked impatiently up and down the counter, but every clerk had a customer with two or three others waiting. Her chances were just as good with the clerk nearest her. A this same clerk now got up from the seat bei-ida Helen with an audible: "Well. 1 em't wait any longer." Helen quickly took the feat, glancint; up at the clerk to remind him she was next. But the customer he was now serving, an excessively stout woman, with huge dangling pearl earrings, was plainly taking her time. "No, this isn't quite what I wanted," as she held up a fold of green and red flowered foulard. "Haven't you something else in these same shades but not quite so dark?" The Fat Woman. "I've showed you everything we nave, madam," answered the clerk with nn unmistakable note of weariness. "Well. let. me see that piece with the purple figure again. No, that isn't the one I meant," as he drew out a bolt from a dozen or more others he had evidently been showing her. 'Didn't you show me somethins with a purple figure on a red and orange ground? Yes, that s it." throwing an end of the silk over her arm and viewing It complacently. Helen gasped as she pictured this ponderously fat woman in a dress of that silk. "I suppose those colors are fast? I expert to wear it at the seashore EAT CABBAGE, FISH, SAUSftGE, HEW BREAD "Pape's Diapepsin" Digests Food When Stomach Can't Cures Indigestion.

"I have." quoth Hetty to me, "two everlasting sweethearts! And I can not tell you which I love the best for I love one with the 'wherever I am clear across the world I shall adorn you,' and the other with 'wherever you go clear across tho world I must go with you.' One's big hand I have gripped and held since I first staggered along on rolling little feet with the wind In my clumpy, feathery hair. you don't think the salt air would fade it?" The clerk gravely assured her that the colors were fast. "How wide is this? You said six yards would be enough, didn't you?" "That's 42 inches, madam. Six yards is what we usually sell, hut perhaps," apologetically, "you might require a trifle more." "This light is so poor to judge colors by," after another ten minutes hesitation. "Could you take these to the window?" The colors were raw and glaring enough to be seen in any light, yet the clerk patiently took the three bolts out in the aisle. Helen knew now that her chances for being waited on would bo better with any other clerk, but she was curious to know just how much more of this clerk's time this woman would have the presumption to take. "Well, this isn't quite what I want but I suppose I'll take it," sbe murmured at length, reluctantly. "You're quite sure you haven't anything you haven't shown me that 1 might like better?" "Madam, I've shown you ever piece of foulard in stock," helplessly. "Well, six and a half yards of this, then," in an injured tone that implied she had been hurried to her decision. Helen gave a quite audible sigh of relief. The clerk measured off the silk and took out his scissors. "Oh, wait just a moment! Before you cut it just let me see this other piece again. I wonder after all if I wouldn't like this better? Yet I don't quite like that striped effect. There was one here very much like this without that Oh, here it is. Now, if I could see this in the light." A Terrible Customer. Helen knew that if she had been that clerk she would have screamed. But the clerk, with an imperturbable face, took the bolt to the light, brought it back and gazed expressionless into

You said you wanted only foulard." "Well, of course, if I can't get what , I want in foulard I may have to take taffeta. Let me see what you have, anyway." ' By this time Helen felt that she herself wanted to shriek, yet with a perverse curiosity she was determined to see it through. With divine patience the clerk now brought out bolt after bolt of taffeta. ! WThen he finally said "That is all we have in taffetas, madam," she again went back to the foulards. To have room to show the taffetas he had put some of the foulards away. These ; he got out once more. "Well, I really don't think any of ; those are exactly what I want. But l you can give me a sample of this. ' And yes I'll take one of this, too. , Oh, thank you." And she walked off serenely. i With the same expressionless face ' the clerk turned to Helen. j 'I'll take Bix yards of this, please." I The astonishingly brisk curtness of ! Helen's voice was due both to her ' tenseness and to a perverse desire ; to emphasize the swiftness of her decision. Se hoped the other woman heard her. "Yes, madam," in grateful appreciation as he pulled out the bolt. But to Helen's horror, when she saw the other end, she discovered that it had a six-inch border of glar- ; ing greenB and yellows. She gave a little gasp and stared at it in dismay. i "Oh, Avait, just a moment!" as the ; clerk started to measure it off. Was there a faint mockery in his 1 glance as he looked up? "Have you anything like this with- ; out a border?" Helen asked, timidly. sale at Jacksonville May 6-10.

"No, madam; but I will show you what we have." Helen was thinking very fast. She had seen all the other silks as he had shown them to that woman and there was nothing among them. She could take this and cut the border off! The clerk had placed before her several bolts and was now watching her with the same lack of expression. Plainly he was expecting another siege. Perhaps it was this that goaded Helen into saying quickly, almost defiantly: "No, you needn't show me anything else. You may give me eight yards of this instead of six. I'll cut off the border." He measured off the lengths and held the scissors for a moment, as though expecting her to stop him again. Then, with a triumphant swish, he ran them through the silk. The two extra yards had cost her six dollars, but she had the silk she wanted. And after that woman had spent three-quarters of an hour and then taken only samples, it -was almost worth six dollars to he able to IS
