HELEN JUST MOONS. Editor Palladium: The name that I would like to give Helen as a mother, would not look Very well in print. She sits mooning (as Warren calls It) over his going abroad on business leaving her at home. When he finally consents to her accompanying him, she does not regret the ocean sepafrrvm her child.

warm heart -which every woman attributes to the man she loves. Why? I don't know, do you? MRS. M. J. P. BALM FOR ACHING HEARTS. Editor Palladium: Much has been said about the wedded life of Helen and Warren, but did it ever occur to you that if the hus-

I bands and wives of this country could

pour out their aching hearts how many would relate the sad story of years of indifference from husband and wives from whom they long to hear the little words again that feed

their children. Warren is a man

HELEN TOO SOFT. Editor Palladium: Tis true woman loves the man that rules her but not in such a brutish way as does Warreu. A man can use his power to better advantage if he would use a little kindness instead of the do-as-l-say plan. He is also too much of a know-it-all. I believe if Helen would stand her ground and not "Hear" him so much, things would go more even than they do now. MRS. L. C. Greensfork, Ind.

WHERE IS WINIFRED. Kditor Palladium: I think Helen a simple headed thing. I think if she would use the rolling pin and broom handle on Warren and spuiiK up more they would pet along better -and be a tine couple. Where is Winifred? E. V. W. Lynn,

keep the honeymoon forever fresh. You know what the tender, sentimentalist demands. It requires more than a home of food and clothes. Some husbands and some wives are no more than servants or pieces of household furniture with as little solicitude for his or her companion's comfort than a cross eyed goat undoubtedly you have known of such cases. If you hav'nt, I have endured. The sackcloth worn is the secret care and hidden grief. Paramount is the struggle of many. A picture is hung over a defect in the wall paper, and the rug hides some torn or discolored place in the carpet. All these are ingenuities of love, to hide from the stranger within our gates and from our friends our financial straits. How brave are the battles fought by heroic men and women to give the impression of pros'perity and success. Again the sackcloth is used to cover some weakness to save us from humiliation or disgrace. How terrible the life is made, how hideous in persuing this art of concealment. Lastly, sackcloth is used to cover up the spiritual decline. By this I refer to the loss of the early enthusiasm and the loss of the vision of tho possibilities of human life. We try to hide the lost spiritual life and our lost religious touch with God. A. B. HELEN TELLS LIES. Editor Palladium Because a man buys a license and pays for it, does not entitle him to swear at his wife,

tell her she has no judgment, reason or sense and that he regrets his marriage. All the expensive presents he could give her, would not heal the wounds tht such talk would make. Helen lwf; her faults, she is not a truthful woman, and no man could re-

j spoct his wife after finding her ready . to lie to him to cover her faults. She ; is decidedly short on judgment, but it ' is not Warren's business to tell her so. j Helen deserves credit for always I giving him the last word. If she did 'i not. where would they end? It is well they lost Winifred, for it i would be a pity for them to repeat : themselves. I I predict the coming bride will learn ; that high and mighty brother a lesson I that 'ill be of value to him.

I am surprised that any woman should see in Warren anything to love. MRS. A. E. C. Economy. PITY THE POOR THING. Editor Palladium I have been reading the letters regarding Helen and

KNOWS THE HEARTACHES. Editor Palladium: Warren is verjy typical of the average married man, considerate, gallant, generous to all ei cept his wife, whom he considers as tpart of his property that needs no more attention after acquiring it, unless it fails in the duties pertaining to his physical wants, keeps a comfortable .place for him to eat, sleep, read and smoke, and does it at the least possible expense. He buys whatever he wants, no matter what it costs and any lack, of money is attributed to household expenses, and she is Told to economize, bur at the first slim meal or any other thing that touches or pinches him he is furious. So she gradually gets ttu habit of doing without the things she wants herself, just to keep peace, but he never notices, much less appreciates.

Helen should have more spunk, but if she did, their disputes would only be more bitter and perhaps end in divorce. Warren may admire spirit and wit in other women but a tactAil wife would let him think he- is the only one with a sense of humor if she has to bite her lips till they bleed. If he has a slight cold, wait on him as solemnly as if he had pwumonia, but nwer let him know if sh is sicjt, until she is eerious enough to demand attention, as it would only irritate him.

riages would survive to the fourth vear. I have no patience with Helen's fibs. Because our own hearts have ached over similar incidents, we can sympathize with Helen, although we know we would do no better, for when our own dear brute smiles we will do all we can to keep him smiling. For the Helens will love the Warrens just the same, love them for their unconscious self-conceited, arbitrary, well-groomed

manly selves, and the dreamed-of

' may be rude hut I think that the more i you keep a woan from having her own way the better she likes you. Man I was intended to rule and unles he is ! the actual head of the family there ! can be no successful family life. Of ; course, I cannot approve of all of : Warren's actions, neither do I approve : of Helen's, but I believe that the hus- ' band should have the final sny re-

arding the conduct of the family. Always a Bachelor.

Their Married Life

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. "And 1 didn't give her a thing!'

Helen took the scented, hand ernbioi-i derod glove case from its tissue pa-j per wrappings and looked at it disconpolatelv. ! To lind on Christinas morning that j some one to whom you have sent 1 nothing hns remembered you with an expensive gilt is, to say the least, disconcert ing. "Look, dear." insistently, for Warren, who was goinn over some cards and letters, had not troubled to glance up. "It's an expensive one, too! Is it too late to send something'.' Lots of the Christmas mail won't lie delivered until tomorrow anyway! She wouldn't know, would she. that I sent it after 1 received hers?" "What's that?" he demanded, engrossed in a letter. Patiently Helen repeated her question "Well, if yon didn't care enough about the woman to give her something in the first place, why do it now ?" "But don't you see. she thought I would, or she wouldn't have sent this." "1'h-h," contemptuously. "Well you can't get anything. No stores open today." WARREN IS CRUEL. "Oh, I've got plenty of things right hero! That lace collar and cuff set Mrs. Palton sent yesterday. It's real

lace, too, and send her that ! "By George, as they make tenest. ideas of knew." "But dear,"

I'll never wear it. I'll you're about as small em. You've got the rotgifts of anybody I ever

flushed Helen,

I "Your hreakfast'll get cold, ma'am," i ventured Nora, as for the third time j she sujtgcstlvely passed the toast, j The mail had come just as they

wore sitting down, and Helen had not i small

! yet touched lier breakfast. There was ja great yule of Christmas cards and 'letters, and a number of small pack-; : ; ages. j "Oh, Warren, what an expensive jcard! From George Thornton! That's ; a real little wafer-color! What a ' waste to put so much money in a I Christmas card a thing that nobody keeps."

i "Who are Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Walj Iae?" asked Warren, puzzling over a. ! card. j "Hon't you remember? We met. ' them at the Stevens'. She called here I several times. I'm glad I sent them j cards. Oh, they're too large they're j nines!" glancing at the size on a pair ; of silk stockings. "Why will people send stockings and gloves when they 1 don't know your size? But they're a lovely quality I suppose I can ex- ' change them." !: "Did you send cards to the Merwins?" asked Warren suddenly. "No, I DIDN'T ! Did they send us any?" I Warren's answer was to toss over a j card. "And you forgot the Gordons, ! too! Like to know who vou did send ' to!" j Helen started to say that he, too ; wanted to remember the people who remembered them, but she decided ; such a remark might not add to the i enjoyment of their Christmas mornI ing.

tied together with a tiny red bow and the simple phrase "Merry Christmas" written on one of the cards. Last year Helen had conceived the idea of sending her card and Warren's in this way. It made a Elmple and dignified Christmas greeting, In quite as good taste as the usual gaudy over-decorated cards. It was a clever idea, Helen thought, and a saving of both time and money. This year several of her friends had adopted the same plan, but when Helen suggested they were copying her, Warren had scoffed at her 'unmitigated conceit." "Here's a picture of Ferguson's kid," he announced, tossing over a Christmas folder on which was pasted a kodak picture of "John Kent Ferguson, age three months," and under it this rhyme: "I wish you were a little boy; 'Cause if you were, you see, This might be a dandy toy, Not just a photograph of me."

"What a sweet baby: Do you sup-j pose they wrote that verse?" ! "Bum eriough. Why don't somebody !

write a few decent Christmas rhymes? j Here's an old-timer. Ought to've had

thirty days for perpetrating this chestnut: 'To wish you joy And Christmas cheer And pleasant times Throughout all the year.' "It's from Mr. Elliott, too! You'd think he'd select something more original," and, pushing back the cards, Helen ran to answer the phone. As the phone was in the library, she did not see Warren draw a small package from his pocket and slip it under the pile of mail by her plate. "It was Mrs. Stevens," coming back to the table. "Mr. Stevens gave her another diamond ring a carat and a half stone." Helen did not add that Mrs. Stevens had asked what Warren had given her, and that not having the courage to admit he had given her nothing, she had deliberately lied and said "a check." Helen knew Warren's attitude always was that if he wanted to give her a present, why wait until Christ

mas? If he gave her what she needed ; when she needed it, how foolish to j rush around and get something she; didn't need at the one time of year j when shopping was most difficult! I And yet Helen had never ceased to j expect or rather long for "something" j from Warren. She would rather have

j had one little unexpected gift from ! him than all her other presents. In j spite of herself there was a lump in I her throat as she went on opening the i packages. ! "No, taht isn't for you to play with," crossly, as Pussy Purr-Mew reached ! a playful paw for a narrow red ribbon ' that hung over the table. The next 1 second the kitten had clutched the ' ribbon, pulling down the whole mass

of letters, cards and boxes. With tail erect, she scampered away while Helen patiently gathered up the things. A MESSAGE. "Let's go into the library, dear, so Nora can clear off the dishes," and Helen took the mass of Christmas mail to the library table. Just then the door bell rang. It was a messenger bog with a box, addressed to "Mrs. Warren E. Curtis." Helen signed the receipt and opened the box. her heart beating fast. It might be from Warren! It was a large silvered thermos bottle, but the card tied to it read, "With the season's best wishes from Carrie and Fred." "Oh, how dear of them!" trying to hide her disappointment. "And it's something I've always wanted!" Instead of starting off for his usual

i Sunday and holiday morning walk, to

Helen's surprise, Warren now settled himself with the newspapers by the library table. They were to dine at his mother's at three. An awful hour, thought Helen, who loathed dinner in the middle of the day. It was after ten now and she went into her room to look over the dress she was going to wear, for her clothes must be in perfect condition when she dined with his people.

unaddressed package.

spring and the Hd flew back disclosing a glittering pearl and diamond lavalliere! For a moment she gazed at It in speechless amazement, then turned to Warren with a breathless: "Look! look! How did this get here? It's some mistake! Nobody intended sending me this!" A SURPRISE. Warren was looking at it with an expressionless face. "How did it get here?" persisted Helen excitedly. "Was it wrapped in some of those boxes by mistake? How shall I find who it belongs to?"

To these excited questions Warren maintained a stolid silence. Then Helen caught a glimmer of something in his face. Coul it be The next moment she rushed into his reluctant arms. "Oh, why didn't you tell me why didn't you tell me?" sobbingly. "Oh, I didn't dream " "Huh, you were pretty dense. And I had to hang around here all morning so it wouldn't be pitched out with

that paper and stuff." "Oh, dear, I love you I LOVE you so! It means so much so much more than the thing itself however wonderful it is! Oh, my dear my DEAR!" "Now it don't caU for any maudlin heroics!" intolerant as ever of an emotional scene. "You wanted one of those gewgaws now you've got it. See here," pushing her away, "you're wilting down a perfectly good collar! I've spent enough on your Christmas without increasing the laundry bill."

right here in Richmond, and fully as popular too. Here's hoping that he gives the finny tribe a hot chase and that he will return home much improved. Hot weather interfers with the working of most all organizations and it is in the good old summer time that the membership is likely to drag. Post C is as usual holding its own, but is not adding to the roster very rap

idly just now. There is still material to work on, as has been frequently set forth in this column and in a majority of cases it requires only the invitation to the prospective member to get him to enlist for the cause.

Here is a synopsis of the financial record of tne T. P.

Post Tress chairman received the following by wireless this morning: Nashville, Tenn.. June 6, 1914. We reached Nashville this morning. Post C is in high favor with the entire South, as evidence the reception we received this morning on our arrival for the old fashioned southern barbecue, when a brass hand of 109 pieces met us at the station and under its escort Post C delegation of lour members paraded through the city. When it became noised about that we were from Richmond, Ind.. where the greatest state convention in the history of the organization was recently held, we were fairly lionized. They are even to refund our money paid out for railroad fare and other expenses. That's going some. In haste, HASTY.

Of course there will he some few members of Post C who will doubt the authenticity of the above. However, we will not take time to argue with such doubting Thomases. Suffice to say that Messrs Browne, Haisley. Hirschburg and Hasty left Richmond for the South Friday noon. ' After a deal of confusion and trouble over the matter of getting routed properly the boys gave up the Cincinnati program, and went to Indianapolis, thence to Louisville and then to Nashville. Everything moving well they should get into Houston. Tex., on Monday morning, and then for a week of solid gay-cty.
