Married Life the Fourth Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. It was' a small millinery shop in the Rue Daunou. There were only three hats In the window. In Parla the fewer the hats displayed in the window, the higher the prices in the shop. Helen had paused to look at one of the three hats. It was small, extremely simple, and the same shade of blue as her traveling .suit. Another moment's hesitation and she entered the awning shaded door. Inside there was just one hat on a tall slender brass stem. Except for this solitary evidence of millinery the place might have been an undertaking establishment, so severely plain and austere were its dark green velvet hangings and polished brass rods. Helen was beginning to fear that the simple hat in the window might not be so inexpensive after all. From behind a velvet screen, which shielded many shelves of bandboxes, swept an impressive Frensh woman in a rlinrlns-. trftiline. black satin KOWn.

She gave Helen just one swift j

glance, and then asked in &ngusn. "Good afternoon, madame. Is there anything I can show you?" "I should like to see the small blue hat in the window," answered Helen, somewhat disconcerted at so instantly being recognized as an American, but relieved at not having to depend on the sign language and her half dozen words of French. "With pleasure, madame," sweeping over to the window, the trailing point of her skirt wriggling snake-like over the green velvet carpet. "It is a smart little model, is it not?" as she took it out and held it up for Helen's inspection. Won't you try it on?" Drawing out her hat pins, Helen sat down before the long mirror. The French woman stood back of her with the hat carefully poised. Watching the effect in the mirror, with the air of performing some difficult and delicate operation, she slowly lowered the hat on Helen's head. , "Voila, madam!" lapsing into French with an expressive gesture. Helen liked the hat. It suited her, and it fitted her head without the need of an annoying bando. A BIG PRICE. The hat was covered with lustrous blue moire silk, and the only trimming was a single uncurled feather beneath the rim at the side. When Helen first glanced at in in the window, she had thought seventy-five francs fifteen dollars. Whe she entered, the estimate rose to twenty dollars. Now she feared it mighe be nearer twentyfive. "And the price?" She tried to ask it carelessly. "Pardon madam. I will just see," glancing at the little ticket inside the hat. "Four hundred francs, madam. That is about eighty dollars in your money, is it not? After the first second of blank amazement Helen was furiously indignant. Did this woman think all Americans were either fools or millionaires? Without comment she took off the hat and reached for her own. Her silence was far more disconcerting to this supercillious French woman than would have been any criticism of the price. "I can show you some other models some very smart models that are not. quite so expensive," hurriedly, aj Helen started to leave the shop. "No, thank you,' coldly. "I don't care to see anythin gelse." Outside the indignant color still flamed in Helen's cheeks. Eighty dollars for a hat which even the most expensive New York shops would not ask over thirty! It was almost an insult to her intelligence. She walked on for several blocks, the incident still rankling. Suddenly she stopped. For a moment she stood transfixed as she gazed at a familiar figure with a familiar swinging stride. It was Warren! Heedless of cabs and motors, she started to rush across the street. He had now paused on the corner as though to take a bus. Fearlessly Helen darted through the maze of trafcc, the drivrrs shouting at her. Warren had raised his cane at an approaching bus and was just about to jump on when she rushed up and caught his arm with a panting: "Oh, Warren, Warren!" "Where did you come from?" unemotionally. "Oh. I was so afraid I wouldn't catch you. Oh, dear, isn't it wonderful to meet this way on the street? It is the first time we ever have." incoherently. SHE TELLS WARREN. "Well, that is no reason for your getting run over," as a cab wheel brushed her dress, and he drew her back to the sidewalk. "Vhat do you want. It Is almost 5 now. I have got

THIN FOLKS WHO - WOULD BE FAT

Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or More.

A Physician' Advice. "I'd certainly give most anything to be able to fat up a few pounds and stay that way," declares every excessively thin man or woman. Such a result is not impossible, despite past failures. Thin people are victims malnutrition, a condition which prevents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as they are when the powers of nutrition are normal. Instead of getting into the blood all the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the Intestines until they pass from the body as waste.

To correct this condition and to produce a healthy normal, amount of fat the nutritive processes must be artificially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can best b accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is a scientific combination of six of the best strength-giving fat-producing elements known to the medical profession. Taken with meals it mixes with the food and turns the sugars and starches into rich, ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood and its rapid effect is remarkable.- Reported gains of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infrequent. Yet its action is perfectly natural and absolutely harmless, Sargol is sold by Leo H. Flhe and other good druggists everywhere and every package contains a guarantee of weight increase or money back. Caution: While Sargol has produced remarkable results In the treatment of nervous indigestion and general stomach disorders, it should not, owing to its remarkable flesh producing effect, be used by those who are not willing to increase their weight ten Bounds or more.

Well, she was not so very much insulted," grinned Warren, as the door

"It fits my bead so well," exclaimed Helen, irrelevantly. "And it Is just right to wear a veil with. I did not DREAM she would send it." "She found out we were not so easy and thought she might as well nail that $25. That is the way to handle these French tradespeople. They think that all Americans have more money than brains. It is just as well to et them know there are some they can't bluff."

SURE WAY TO END RHEUMATISM

Have you got any small relation In your house who shins up your legs and into your lap, after a party is over and one particular girl that was there has vanished taking your heart along

with her, and, his own small heart "magiced" by the spell of her smile asks 'bout a million questions that are hard to look him in the eye and answer, such as: "Ain't she a vnice

young lady? I like 'er do you LIKE 'er? Her cheeks is vas SOFT! I patted 'em di' you pat 'em? She kissed me lots. Di' she kiss you, too that would be vnice if she would

wouldn't it?" And you dare not lift your eyes to the vision of the particular girl. But, oh, it would be "vnice"! NELL BRINKLEY.

to send a cable and then I am through. Want to go with me?" "Oh, yes, yes," eagerly. "Where have you been, anyway?" When Helen caught her breath she told him about the millinery shop she had just come from, about the hat and the exhorbitant price. "And it wasn't worth a cent over twenty dollars, although I wanted it so much I might have paid twentyfive." "Did you offer her that?" "Why, no, not when she asked eighty! What would have been the use?" "You are easy. There is a mighty big difference between what they ask and what they will take over here. If you want the hat, go back and offer her twenty-five dollars. I will wager you will get it. " "Why, dear, that is absurd. She might have come down ten or fifteen dollars, but she will never take twenty-five whe she asks eighty." "I would be afraid to try her if I didn't want the hat." "Couldn't you come with me?" excitedly. "It 1b very near here." "All right. I am game. We will call her bluff." But as Warren walked back with her toward the shop, Helen's elation was mingled with misgivings. She

felt sure the woman would not consider $25 and she did not want Warren to pay more. "One of those 'smart little shops where they soak Americans, eh?" commented Warren, as they approached the window to which the three hats and the green velvet curtain gave an air of exclusiveness. The French woman could hardly restrain a smile of satisfaction when she saw Helen re-enter, for she felt sure of the sale now. "I believe my wife was looking at a hat here a few moments ago." "Yes, sir," beamingly, as she took the hat from the window. "It was exceptionally becoming to madam ouldn't you like to seeit on her?" "That is not necessary. My wife likes the hat. Now I will tell you what I will do. I will give you one hundred and twenty-five francs $25 not a cent more." The beaming smile froze on the woman's face. "Why, sir madame must have misunderstood me. I told her the hat was $80." "Yes, and I am offering you $25, which is about $5 more than it is

worth. But that's all right," generously, "since my wife wants the hat." WARREN IS OBDURATE. The woman almost spluttered in her vehemence. She excitedly explained explained that the feather alone cost her more than that. But Warren was unmoved. He wrote the hotel address on his card and gave it to her with a brief. "There is my address. We will be at the hotel at 6 o'clock. If you want to have the hat there at that time C. O. D. all right." "But that is impossible, sir! To accommodate madame, I might take on one feather and let her have it for $50 that is the very best I can do."

"No, we are buying it as it is. If you decide before 6 o'clock that you would rather have the $25 than that hat, send it around and you will get the money. Good afternoon." . "Oh, you know she will never send it," exclaimed Helen, when they reached the street. "Why, she was furious she was insulted at the offer." "Don't be too sure about that. These French shop people are not insulted by offers so easliy as you think." "But, dear, you know she will not come down THAT much." "She may and she may not. But she is mulling over that offer, all right. Show these people the money and give them a ladder they will

usually come across. Now where are we? I have got to send that cable." It was five minutes of six when they reached the hotel. Helen glanced eagerly around the lobby for a messenger with a bandbox. "Not six yet," suggested Warren, noting her glance as she turned from the desk with the key and their mall. They had just entered their rooms. Helen had not even taken off her hat when their was a loud knock at the door. It was a boy with a large white

Ease Stiff, Sore Joints and Muscles, Makes Pains and Backache Promptly Vanish. It is needless to suffer any longer

with rheumatism, and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape with its heart-wrenching pains, when you can surely avoid it. Rheumatism come from weak, inactive kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood, the poisonous waste matter and uric acid; and it is useless to rub on limlments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only prolongs the misery, and can't possibly cure you. The only way to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new discovery, Croxone, does this because it neutralizes and dissolves all the poisonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles, to scratch and irritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out and strengthens the 8topped-up, inactive kidneys, so they can filter all the poison from the blood and drive it on and out of the system. Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for curing chronic rheumatism, kidney troubles and bladder disorders. You will find it different from all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It matters not how old you are, or how long you have suffered, it Is practically impossible to take it into the human syste mwithout results. You will find relief from the first few doses, and you will be surprised how quickly all your misery and suffering will end. An original package of Croxone costs but a trifle at any first-class drug store. All druggists aro authorized to sell it on a positive moneyback guarantee. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst case of backache or overcome urinary disorders.
