PAGETOGHT THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1914 Married Life What Are the Wild Waves Saying? By Nell Brinkley the Fourth Year

"Mother, you take this chair." Warren drew forward a large armchair for hla mother and then settled himself on the window seat with a oigac With a Quick, self-conclous glance about the room, Helen went over to tba couch where Carrie's two children With playing with one of the many K&mei Santa Claus had brought them. They had just come in from dinner the family Christmas dinner that Wan-en's mother always had at 3 o'clock. And now they would sit around and talk for the rest of the afternoon. Helen always dreaded thisee holiday dinners, and she dreaded more tat sitting around afterward. Kvery one felt heavy and uncomfortable from having eaten an overrich dinner at this unaccostomed hour. Warren's father, leaning back in his big leather chair, nodded sleepily, and the others felt too langpid to make much attempt at conversation. Helen began fitting a set of dominoes into their box from the sheer need of doing something with her hands. She had anticipated this trying dinner and had longed to bring some fancy work. But she knew Warren's mother would be shocked at her "sewing on Christmas." "Looks like it's getting ready to snow," commented Carrie, who was bitting by the window. "How fast they Hre putting up that corner building. How many stories?" counting them. "Fifteen?"

' I hey re overbuilding all around here. Half of these apartments are empty. People won't pay the rent," growled Warren's father, who owned the old-fashioned three-story house they lived in, and who hated the invasion of the large apartments. "All cheaply built, too. Speculative buildings every one of 'em." "We were talking about Bob taking one of those corner apartments," murmured Mrs. Curtis. "He promised me he'd go over and look at them." "Nonsense, mother," protested Carrie. "You know she won't be willing to live that near to the family. I venture she'll make Bob take an apartment over there on Park avenue." "Well, Bob can't affowl any fortyfive hundred dollar rent," announced rather, decisively. A BIG RENT. "Is that what they pay?" Carrie asked eagerly. "But they've ten rooms, haven't they? Just her father and her it's ridiculous! It wouldn't Surprise me if she'd make Bob stay tight there with tham." "Unless Bob's lost ALL his .senses. he'll not do that." dec lared Warren, I primly .getting up to look for an j fcsh tray. j "He'll probably do just about what j phe wonts him to do, that's my opin- j Ion," retorted Carrie. "I've seen her I tnly twice, but she impressed me as i being a self-possessed young woman.'' Helen was still fitting and refitting the domines in the box. But now she was listening with intense interest to the family discussion of the girl to whom Bob was engaged. How had they talked about her when she was pngaged to Warren? She often wondered if they had referred to her as Helen of Miss Allen. And now she felt quick resentment that they had not even mentioned Louise's name, speaking of her merely as "she" or "her." As Helen both liked and admired Louise, she longed to say something In her defense. "Well, the old man's pretty solid. Isn't he?" demanded Mr. Curtis of Warren. "Bob doesn't seem inclined lo teil me much, but I looked him up on my own account." "Oh, I guess he's solid all right," admitted Warren. "If she makes my boy hnpry, it doesn't matter so much ahou. the money," paid Mrs. Curtis, gently. Helen turned to Warren's mother jvith a glow of sympathy. She could bave hugged her for that last remark. "Well, she'll not make him very happy if she's the headstrong, willful miss that I take her to be," grunted Mr. Curtis. "Why, I thought she was very pweet," ventured Helen, "and she seems to he a girl of exceptional intelligence." "Kh? What's that?" demanded Mr. Curtis, sharply. "I thought she se.eemd very sweet ind unusually intelligent for so young a girl." repeated H len. A STRONG WILL. "Humph! WpII, headstrongness isn't intelligence: And Bob's not the one to put up with any foolishness that ooy's got a will of his own." "I think all of the Curtises have," laid Helen quietly. "Eh? What's that?" Helen know perfectly well that Mr. Turtis had heard what she said, but He always greeted her remarks with i rasping "Eh? What's that?" "I said 1 thought all the Curtises acre strong willed." with delicate defiance, "though I've noticed that they resent that trait in any one else." "Eh? What's that-what's that?" fairly sputtered Mr. Curtis. "Well, maybe we think one headstrong, selfsilled daughter-in-law in the family is inough." "No doubt, you're right," retorted comfort Comes instead of pain Rheumatism, Lumbago, Soreness of All Kinds, Quickly Rubbed Out When You Apply Speedway.

Cruel Warren Makes Helen a Nervous Weak Person

WARREN MASCULINE WISE. His Cruelty Made Helen a Nervous Woman. Weak, Editor Palladium Wish to say in accordance with an article in Saturday's paper as to Helen being simper- j ing, nervous bit of femininity. It may j be said that she is now, but if the truth ' were known she was not that way be- j fore she married Warren. Owing to ' his determined ways, she has grown ' that way. But I do say if she would get up some backbone and let him i know she is a woman with feelings the ! same as a man, there is no doubt on j my part they would agree. As to him, j the way I look at it, he knows it all : like all men. I have read Married Life j all the way through and take much in-! terest in it, but have missed Winifred C. M. BACHELORS STAY OUT. Slave Husband Says Single Men Know Nothing About Married Life. Editor Paladium If the man who signed himself "Bachelor" in Saturday night's issue would take unto himself a wife, he would soon find out that a bachelor knows nothing about niarried life. He ought to keep out of this scrap, as it refers only to married people. I ani a married man, and knowthat a woman runs the house. All the man can do is to furnish the cash to run it. He cannot even get a word in crosswise, even when his wife is so sick she can hardly talk. The man is not the head of the house, he is only a slave and his wife is the slave driver. As a result, speaking from years of slavery, I am for Warren first, last and all the time. Helen is only getting what every woman ought to get. If we men were not such fools, we might run the house, but what's the uso kicking anyway. A Slave. Helen, outwardly calm, but inwardly i quaking at her temerity. "And I hope Mob s wite will be more successful than I in winning the approval of her husband's family." There was an ominous silence. Helen kept her eyes on the dominoes, but she knew that Warren was glaring at her, and that Mr. Curtis was speechless with rage. Who would have broken the silence and what they would have said Helen i never knew, for Hoy, Carrie's little boy now demanded shrilly: "Aunt Helen, you said you'd play parchesi with me." "So I did," cheerfully. "Here's the board; now where are the men?" "I'll get 'em," gleefully scrambling down off the couch, for Tiov adored his Aunt Helen, and to play games' with her was a rare treat"Perhaps we'd better play in the ! other room,' suggested Helen. 'Then j we won't disturb any one," and with-1 out glancing at Warren or his father, Helen took up the parchesi board and I retreated to the next room. It was always the same, she thought bitterly. Warren's father always aroused the worst that was in her! Oh. why did she dislike him so? Why could she never come to this house without some gort of controversy? "No, no. Aunt Helen," protested Roy, "you've got to throw a five to come out! Don't you want to play?" disappointedly, sensing that Helen's thoughts were not on the game. 'Of course I do!" absentedly shaking the dice. Roy beat her badly, but he took no pleasure in his victory, for he kept saying that she had not tried. "Well, now, I'll try HARD. I'll beat you this time," for Helen, rather than

Writer Would Like to Be Warren's Mother-in-law for Just One Year. 1 Editor Palladium My j Helen's and Warren's opinion of trouble is If Helen had nerve and spunk enough to show Warren where to head in, she would not have to live the unhappy life she is living. But she lacks courage. I would like to be Warren's mother-in-law for just one year. I think all his folks think Helen is not as good as he is. I believe Helen is a sweet, loving wife. Warren is like lots of men when they find they can domineer a woman they have her scared so she is afraid to call her life her own. We would like to know what has become of little Winifred. Hope she has not been kidnapped. Farmer's Wife. WARREN IS ROUGH. I am a supporter of Helen, although I am a married man. When a man I mnrripc: a wrmmn ho aava Via irtll Ya ' kind to her. Warren is a mean, rough man. J. R. 8., R. R. 3. WANTS WARREN IN BUCK. I Editor Paladium That guy Warren i is a bloke and tough nut with a bean j full of scrap. The lady ought to hand j him one on the jaw, call the paddy ! wagon and then the Judge ought to ! give him six months in the buck with I rotten scoffings. The lady is all to the good. II. R. LOOKS INTO FUTURE. Palladium Editor When I grow up to be a big girl and marry a man like Warren, it will break my heart. He is so cruel. I often wonder whether he really loves little Winifred. May S. go back with the others, wanted keep on playing And this Christmas should have been such a happy one! It was the first since their marriage that Warren ; had given her a real Christmas gift. Surely today, Helen thought with a pang of remorse, she should have controlled herself to his father. "Roy," called Carrie, "get your things on new. We're going home." Then came a general breaking up. Although Mrs. Curtis invited them all to stay to tea, the heavy dinner and the long afternoon in the over-heated house had left every one dull and headachv, and they were all glad to get out in the fresh air. A FORMALITY. Helen told Mrs. Curtis how much she had "enjoyed the dinner," a prim formality that she never omitted with his family. With Mr. Curtis she exchanged a frigid goodbye, and the escapement, she was walking down the street with Warren. "If you want to take the subway, all right," curtly. "I want some exercise." "Oh, I think I can walk I'm sure I can," protested Helen. "And the streets are so wonderful now," for the lights were beginning to gleam out through the half dusk. They walked on in silence. Helen had expected him to storm out at her about her words with his father. And now, as always, his silence was more disconcerting than his outspoken wrath. She felt, too, that this time he had a right to be angry. She was full of remorse and self-reproach that she had allowed his father to irritate her to the point of clashing. It was quite dark now, and Helen

"Dear, I know I shouldn't have spoken like that to your father I'm sorry." "Huh, you're always sorry! You say an ddo whatever you blame please then try to wriggle out of it by saying you're sorry." "But I do want you to know, dear, that today after you gave me that beautiful" "Well, there's other ways of showing appreciation besides everlastingly spouting about it. Here's a drugstore. I've got to get something for this indigestion. These midday dinners are inventions of the devil!" Helen followed him into the drugstore, where he bought a bottle of pepsin lozenges. "See here," as they came out on the street. 'Are we supposed to go to Carrie's for New Year's dinner?" "Why, yes, dear; she invited us several weeks ago. You said we'd go." "Well, now, I say we WON'T! You have a headache or any other kind of an ache that'll get us out of that. One of these turkey-mince-pie holiday orgies a year is EXOECH! Anyway, it's all my digestion will stand." LAUNCH FULTON QT'INCY, Mass., June S The Fulton, the first oil burning submarine teruler built for the United States navy, was launched here today.
