Married Life the Fourth Year
By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Helen! Helen! Helen Curtis!" Helen turned In almost frightened bewilderment. To hear one's name in a familiar voice on a street ia Paris! 1 i.ta itirough the crowd of hurrytng 1'ienchmen rushed a young woman who caught her eagerly by the arm. "Oh, 1 KNEW ih was you!" excitedly.. Why why, Marion Berkley!" stammered Helen. The next few minutes were spent in a breathless torrent of questions. What are you doing in Paris How Ion?? have you been here Where are you staying? , .'Well, we cant stand here on the street," laughed Helen. , "Let's go somewhere for tea where we can really talk." "Come to my studio! 1 have got the quaintest, dearest Old etudio in the latin quarter! You must see it!
Come, this bus will take us!"
have been times when I have been hungry, yet last winter I refused a good post as art teacher in a girls' school In Boston. I had rather struggle along here hoping for a big success," with a wistful smile, "that may never come." ' "But surely you are not dependent upon your work?" asked Helen anxiously. "T thought. your father left a great deal of property." "It was all mortgaged. After everything was paid off there was only a few thousand dollars, and that's gone long ago. For the la6t four years I have lived on what I have made. Occasionally I sell a picture and for a few weeks I live gloriously well. The rest of the time I do without, but that is the life of the Latin quarter." "But don't you ever worry about the future?" Marion shrugged her shoulders. "You learn not to worry over here.
i You live for today nobody thinks of
tomorrow. If you have money you spend it if you haven't you borrow from some fellow artist who has or do without. You see," whimsically, "how it simplifies life." "But when you grow older when you are not so strong any young and hopeful? Shouldn't you try, Marion, to save something now?"

Do you like this?" drawing out another a street scene of a push cart market. "It isn't , finished, either, but I think the coloring is good." ' She brought out more canvases most of them unfinished, but all -with a certain interest and atmosphere. Helen was so absorbed that it was almost six before she realized it. What if Warren should get back to the hotel first and be worried? Marion, bareheaded, took her down the street, made her promise to bring Warren to Madame Jouven's some evening that week, put her on the bus, and stood waving her a goodbye from
the corner. How young Marion seemed, was Helen's strongest impression. How care-free how full of the sheer joy of living. Although they were the same age, Helen felt curiously older, as though her life was half lived; while Marion's was only beginning, with the possibilities of a great success still before her. There are times when every mar-
! ried woman, however much she may
love her husband, thinks of the possibilities of some independent career that might have been hers, had she not married. And now, as Helen left the bus and walked, slowly toward the hotel, in the background of her thoughts was a stirring of vague dreams anfl ambitions that had long lain dormant.

the upper end of the Boulevard St. Michael. A REAL STUDIO. Around the corner into a cobblestoned back street, and Marion opened a high boarded gate to a quaint old garden. Helen followed her, filled with the joy of adventure. To see a real studio in the Latin quarter and above all, Marion's studio! The garden was a charming tangle of unkempt vines and shrubbery which almost hid the broken staturary and the moss-grown basin of an old fountain. A well-worn path led back to a rickety old mansion now given over to studios. Up three flights of a
dark, winding stairway, and Marion

"We furnish our own cabaret dance, sing, recite until almost midnight. Then we all go to some one stulio and have supper. If anyone has just sold a picture or received a check from home we have a feast. If not, we have just just as much fun on a green salade arid a few bottles of vin-ordinaire. Wait, I will show you a sketch of a studio supper." She drew out a canvas from a pile leaning against the wall. "Tlirre! It isn't finished, but vou

littered with unfinished sketches, casts, curious bits of old brass, pottery and armor. "1 suppose you would would like to pet a dustcloth nd 'tidp up'," laughed Marion. "But it is in the atmosphere ovi r here you get so you can't work when things are 'straight'."
"Oh, but it is wonderful! And you have some really fine old pieces," ( stopping to examine an old carved j chest, for Helen was always interested in antique furniture. j "Bought that in a little curio shop ; tr five francs. We students never j 'nave any money, so we larn to pick up ! 'lings for almost nothing." j "Pust look around I will be back in ; ; minute,"' as she caught up a small j pitcher and ran out bareheaded. ! Left alone, Helen gazed wonderingly . around the studio. It was plainly the living room, sleeping room and work- 1 loom in cne. An old leather screen :"rtii :oned off one corner. The heavy beams of the roof were aro, and besides the skylight there was c-nly one window which looked i ut on the tangled garden. In spite f !' the dust and confusion, Helen felt the charm of the place. . !t was strangely quiet and peaceful, for in the ahut-in garden, down this little hack street, not a sound of ths city was hf.ard. Ma lien came in now, breathless from her run up the steps, with a pitcher of cream and a bulging brown paper bag, from some nearby shop. ' Remember our stolen midnight suppers at school?" as she cleared the table of paint brushes and drawings, and brought out the tea cups and an alcohol lamp. DELIGHTFUL TEA. The bag held some delicious French pastry, and a tiny pot of cream cheesr. Helen wondered if, since the nights of the stolen suppers, she had enjoyed anything as she did this impromptu tea. Marion told of her first three years of study and the last four of work trying to make for herself a place in the art world here. "T suppose the chances of success ' would be better anywhere else," musingly, "for there are so many workers here so many that are talented. But I have grown to love this life. There

"The Traffic" Points Wonderful Moral Oh, how we hate truth particularly that kind of livid, ungarnished truth that hits the bull's-eye with crashing, crunching, grinding conviction! That's how "The Traffic" will likely strike you when it is presented at the Gennett on next Saturday matinee and night, for it deals truthfully with a vicious phase of life as it has never been dealt with before. But it contains a wonderful moral! Briefly told "The Traffic" in its early scenes, reveals the Berton orphans, Agnes and Elsie, struggling against poverty in their tenement home. Agnes, the elder, strong and beautiful, earns $6.00 a week in a factory. Elsie, the younger of the orphans, is tubercular and Agnes is informed that unless the child is sent to the country death is inevitable. Grim experience has taught Agnes that there is only one way for her to earn money that means the salvation of her sister's life. She flutters piteously. like a bird in a cage, but finally surrenders to the urging of a procurer. "The Traffic" goes straight to the causes, the methods, the motives and the results. It hits first at the industrial causes which most reformers
i and moralists overlook. It is a terri
ble arraignment of grasping employers of unskilled labor, but it is also a tearful reflection upon "good society" which is forever sermonizing about
! "morality instead of doing justice
plain ordinary business justice to girls and women who are eager to do honest work for honest pay.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy If You Know Dr. Edwards
Olive Tablets.
WHY ENDURE PIMPLES
The secret of keeping young is to
feel young to do this you must watch vour liver and bowels there's no !
need of having a sallow complexion-
dark rings under your eyes pimples i a bilious look in your face dull I
eyes with no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per I cent of all sickness comes from in-1
active bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil to act on the liver and j bowels, which he gave to his patients i
for years.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub-1 stitute for calomel, are gentle in their j action, yet always effective. They !
bring about that exuberance of spirit, I that natural buoyancy which should be j enjoyed by everyone, by toning up j
the liver and clearing the system of i
i impurities. You will know Dr. Ed- j

Quite the polliest musical farce which will appear at the Murray on Thursday, Friday and Saturday thi3 season is Halton Powell's "Night on Broadway," the company being headed by that universal amusing comedian, Harry Emerson, whose originality has stood pre-eminent for a number of years. He will ie remembered for his clever work in "Gay New York." At times his capers are purely nonsensical but as laugh provokers are thoroughly irresistable. "Xight on Broadway" without its musical and fantastic embellishments is one of the most amusing farces adapted from the German. There are ten acting parts and each one a distinct characterization. The chorus was engaged especialy for their talent, youth and beauty. The management prides Itself on the costuming of the chorus eight complete changes being made during the action of the comedy. The music is of the jingle kind you can't forget.
