Married Life the Fourth Year By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Oh, miss, your dress is all unhookfed!" exclaimed the maid, as Helen took off her coat in the "Ladies' Dressing Room" of the Cafe Rheim. In dismay Helen felt down the back pt her gown and found it was fastened only at the neck and waistline, and hat it gaped widely Inbetween. What If she should have gone into the restaurant like that? The maid hooked it up quickly, knowing it would make her tip assured. "I don't know how I forgot it! I taever did such a thing before," taking fi dime from her purse. "Oh, lots of ladies wait till they get here for me to hook them up." "Were you the maid at the old place" "No. miss, just since theyjhave opened here." "Then you don't know if that head waiter came with them?" "They brought some of their old waiters but I don't know what ones." Helen had always liked the atmosphere of the Cafe Rheims, but for the past year Warren had refused to diqe there because of an "Insufferable" head waiter who seemed to delight in making every one wait for a table. Very reluctantly Warren had consented to come to their new place. So when Helen joined him in the hall ehe was relieved that it was a newhead waiter who met them at the door and courteously ushered them to u table. "Well, he is certainly an improvetnent," murmured Helen. "Seems to be all right, but we will Rait and see how the service is." "Oh, but this room," bewailed Helen. 'It hasn't half the atmosphere of their old place. It looks so cold and barren so institutional! And those dreadJul glaring lights!" "It is pretty raw," admitted Warren. "But this type of thing is the architects' craze just now. Wait till you 'teee the new Gilmore You will think (&ou are in the Grand Central station." "Oh, but this lighting is awful," persisted Helen. "I hate those high reflecting lamps," for from the ceiling Vere suspended by bro.e chains the Inverted alabaster dome shades so much in vogue now, and which give bo frosty and cheerless a light. "Here is a new one on me," announced Warren, now intent on the dinner card. "We seem to have struck a bargain night." It was the tabled'hote card, but the price at the top, $1.25, was crossed out with red ink; and under it written $1.00. "That is curious, I have never seen a marked down dinner before." "Well, why shouldn't they have barsain sales in food and advertise 'em, too? 'Roast spring lamb with mint Bauce, regular $1.25, for today, only 80c. Our regular 30c hashed brown potatoes, for this sale only 19c.' How aboui it? That a peach of an idea?" Helen's laughing comment was interrupted by the waiter who now came for the order. A REGULAR DINNER. "All right, we will try your regular dinner. Let's see, two clams, two tomato bisque. You want salmon, don't you?" turning to Helen. "One salmon and one sea bass. I will give you the rest of the order later. Hold on," as the waiter started off. "What about this marked down price?" "Oh, they have just changed that today, sir. You see it is $1.00 everyday except Saturdays and Sundays, but now they have made it $1.00 on Sundays, too." "How are you doing here, anyway?" for Warren always had a genuine business interest in any new enterprise. "Well, of course, sir, we haven't the crowd that we had at the old place, but we have only been here three weeks," hopefully. "Why do you suppose they ever moved?" mused Helen as the waiter huried off. "They had such a wonderful place down town full of atmosphere." "The craze to get on Broadway they have all got it. Probably "go broke here in a couple of months. They say thore are only three Broadvay restaurants that haven't been in the hands of a receiver. Well, they ought to go broke, the way they soak jou and give you nothing for it." "But this is very reasonable dinner likn this for $1.00," glancing over the six courses on the card. Cheap enough if it is good food. Hello, we are to have some tangoing with it." In the center of the room was a waxed floor space lor dancing, and now a girl with astonishingly yellow hair and a scanty pink chiffon" gown came out with a youth in an evening coat of extreme cut. The music was lively and they twirled and twisted in the latest tangoing stunts. As they had dined out very little of 3t.'- Helen had not seen much of the dancing craze, and some of these contortions seemed to her somewhat startling. HELEN SHOCKED. "Why, Warren, isn't that rather dreadful?" as the youth swayed the girl backward down to the floor, then tip anain, and with his knee under hers, lifted her from her feet. Warren shrugged his shoulders. "That is not in it with some of the dancing at Jardin de Hanse. We will have to go up there some night." 'Oh, do you see that man watching that girl! What a look!" The man was dining alone and his half closed eyes followed every movement of the girl's swaying form with an insolent, appraising gaze that made Helen shudder. "Good sea bass, eh? Thought we stood a chance of getting our money's worth here. Thev all start out pretty well." "And everything is so new and Clean. The tablecloth never has keen laundered; it's the new design, too the plain satin stripe. Don't you remember we saw so many of those in Paris?" Warren was much more interested In the quality of the food than the design of tho table linen, hut. Helen i U i t;-.!tici' very appoint never fa; mnt. Sh.'

COUNTY CONTRACTS FOR M LIGHTS Commissioners Arrange for Supply From Centerville and Private Line.

Signatures of members of the board of county commissioners were Saturday appended to the contract for electricity from Centerville for the county infirmary. Commissioners for ten years have been trying to rid the farm of oil light now in use. The line from Centerville will be run across private farms instead of on poles of the T. H., 1. & E. Traction company. It will be the county's private line and will be maintained by the county. The distance is shortened by half by using a private line. Bids for the erection of poles and stringing of wire will be received by the commissioners June 27. After the contract for the work is signed, the line will be rushed to completion, and the infirmary connected with the Centerville electric supply. The rates in the contract are 10 cents a kilowat, from one to fifty kilowats; 9 cents from fifty to 100; ce cents to five hundred kilowats. The farm probably will get the 9-cent rate. The county council met Saturday and decided that Superintendent's request for two silos is justified by conditions at the farm, and passed in favor of constructing the silos at a cost of $600. Mr. Petro is feeding a large number of cattle and hogs and believes the feeding conditions should be improved. He believes the county w ill be repaid for the silos in a short time by getting results in better winter stock. would have only table lights with rose silk shades; every woman knows how becoming they are. Then I would have all the walls panneled with mirrors. A woman loves to sit by a mirror, an occasional glance to see if her hat is on right is so reassuring. Oh, it seems so simple the making of an attractive restaurant! Yet, how few there are. Perhaps that is why so many fail." "How abotit the food," grunted Warren. Don't forget it is the man who pays the Check, and he doesn't care a whoop about your mirrors and plak shades." HELEN 18 POSITIVE. "I am not speaking about the food, but I KNOW." intensely, "that if the Cafe Rheims had let me decorate this room well, there would be more people in it than there are now." "Nothing conceited about that." "I would have the whole color scheme cream and old rose. Cream walls and cream wood-work, with old rose silk hangings and a plain old rose carpet 1 hate these cellar-like cement floors. And I'd have cream chairs upholstered in old rose. I'd have the walls and posts paneled in mirrors, and a rose-shaded light on every table. Wouldn't that make an attractive plac? And it would not be expensive, not near so expensive as this." "Um-m," was Warren's only comment, as he severed the wing from the half broiled chicken on toast. "And this music is too loud," persisted Helen. "It is a wonderful orchestra, but we are too near it. If I had a restaurant," enthusiastically, "I would have them play a lot of waltz music people love the rythem. I'd not have it loud or insistent you can't talk with music like this." "Well, you seem to be doing pretty well. Talking a blue streak. What's the matter? that wine going to your head?" Helen flushed. She had drunk only a glass of claret, but she had a lurking suspicion that wine did make her more talkative. Perhaps it was the claret that had colored so glowingly her mind's picture of a restaurant, ideally decorated and managed. The picture was insistent. It held vague but alluring possibilities. "Dear," looking up with shining eyes, "wouldn't it be wonderful if some day you would make a lot of money and buy a restaurant just for an investment? THINK what we could do with it you and I together? Oh, I KNOW we would make it a success! You know so much about food, and I could see to the decorations and the appointments. Oh, we would make it the most attractive place!" "Well, I guess the public will have to worry along without our restaurant for awhile longer. I may be too modest, but I am willing to concede that the people already in the business know- a little about it. Better confine your decorating schemes to 'The Flat Beautiful' and write 'em up for the Ladies' Home Journal."

family on an equal footing with, the man. "Practically all that Jesus ever said about marriage was incidental to the discussion of the divorce question. He suid that the marriage relation was not a matter of expediency or of convenience, but an actual union of the two lives that could not be dissolved in life except by the unfaithfulness of one of the parties. Press Heralds Freaks. "Much of the divorce evil and marital unhappiness comes from ill-advised marriages. We some times read of the marriage of two persons who had never heard of each other before the day of their marriage. A transaction under the same conditions involving far less In any other department of life would be considered crazy, but in this most serious and sacred of all things it is often considered smart and heralded through the press as something for others to emulate. Too often young people marry unwisely through fear of not getting married at all. There are many things worse than not getting married, and one of the worst of them all is a mistaken marriage. A parent who urges a daughter into a marriage with an unfit man on account of his narrre or his wealth is as guilty as the white slaver. Young people of conflicting religious beliefs are courting trouble when they marry. They will find that they not only have to encounter the difficulties of tfaeir own differences, but they will also be tormented by the meddlesomeness of all their relatives. "One of the chief things needed in marriage is sense just sense. God intended the man and the woman for each other, and when they, starting out on the way of life alone, come to the place where the two roads meet, and he takes the hand of the one and places it in the hand of the other and sends them along the journey together, there is nothing better in all life. It was to this union of man and woman, its love and its confidence and its inseparable relation, that God compared the union of his Son and his Church when he would convince men of its delights and its sublimity." EARLHAM WANTS (Continued from Page 1.) afraid because of his years of training. When John asserted that 'perfect love casteth out fear,' he announced a universal law of human progress. In fact, it may be said that he epitomized the history of civilization. Love Clarifies Mind. "There are two revelant facts outstanding in the development of the race. One is the awful thraldom in which fear binds fast the untrained mind. The other is the remarkable clarifying and propelling power of love. The blood of our pagan ancestors is still coursing in our veins. The mental images from their untutored minds are still flitting across our own minds. The echoes of their mythological faith are still resounding in our ears. The childish mind is frequently tortured by the herititary memories of the deeds of Oden and Thor and Balder, and no one can claim that he has outgrown entirely all of these childish fears that form a large part of our primal inheritance. "But John had discovered some of the fundamental facts of human existence. He knew something of what was in man. He had put Jesus of Nazareth to what were to him ultimate tests, and his faith taught him that even deep-seated, race-old instincts and emotions could be expurgated by the power of love. Christianity sees poor human sense in a losing conflict with its own phantoms and it holds up its hands in signal of command and dares to say, 'Fear not." And yet men do still fear. Bismarck may declare with great gusto, 'We Germans fear God and nothing else in the world,' but it is a boast that makes thoughtful men break forth in laughter. Germany, worshippers of Mars, fortified to the teeth, her people groaning under unbearable burdens of taxation, mad with the mania of armaments, trembling behind guns loaded to the muzzle, Germany fears God and nothing else in the world! Fears Torments Many. "The most marvelous English essay produced in the course of centuries has recently shown that modern civilization is hypnotized by certain extraordinary illusions. Oh, the bogies of our Twentieth century civilization. Certain men are stiff with the fear of

COUNTRY III NEED OF G00DJ.EADERS Rev. B. E. Parker Says Competency and Motives Subject to Question. Not more leaders, but leaders of higher moral standards are needed in this age, Rev. B. E. Parker told his congregation at the evening service in the First Methodist church last night. He spoke on "The Symbol of the Shepherd as Illustrative of Christ's Relation to the Individual." In speaking of the Shepherd as the leader of the flock he said, "I have a conviction that the present age is suffering from a lack of proper leadership. We do not lack leaders, but their competency and motives may often be called into question. In the industrial and social world, in the moral and religious spheres the crying need of the hour is not for more leaders, but for a better brand of leaders. We need men at the head of our present day movements who have the qualities of a good shepherd. Men who understand the better possibilities of human nature and who are actuated not by thoughts of personal gain or distinction but by the thought of the common good. "But there is a bright side to the picture. The leadership of Jesus in miral and spiritual matters was never more vigorously preached or sanely followed than today. He is the dominant figure in our present day life. The gleam of his life has fallen athwart the scholars desk, the statesman is following in his lead while to His social conceptions the submerged elements of our modern life are looking as the ultimate court of authority. He is the Good Shepherd today in a vaster sense than at any previous time. The man who is confused in his thoughts about God, the man who is at a loss to understand his own duty and perplexed over the problem of destiny is turning to Him with reverend heart and saying in the words of the familiar song, 'Saviour like a shepherd lead us, much we need thy tender care. In thy pleasant pastures feed us, For our use Thy folds prepare.' "

confiscation of property, ignoring the fact that the prooesses of modern life make confiscation an economic impossibility. These same men still talk about the danger of conquest without thinking of the complex financial interdependence of the modern world. They still shudder at the possibility of tribute, holding to the same views that were held by Scipio, the Roman, and Hannibal the Carthagenian in the Third century before Christ. "Bismarck tried to weld together by heavy blows discordant elements into a national unity, and Bismarck was the greatest blacksmith of modern times, but men are not being bound by national ties. There really is no German people any more that there is an American people. Men are bound together by common interests, by social ties, fundamentally by mutual love. Some Germans and some Englishmen, even some Germans and some Frenchmen, are nearer together in thought and aspiration than some Germans and some Germans.

Turning to the members of the class he said: "Your college believes that it is not an empty boast that you, her children, are at least somewhat unafraid. We do not believe that you will look for signs and wonders in the heavens; that you will tremble at comets and turn blanch at falling stars. We ask you not to hang consecrated bells in steeples to ward off lightning. We grant you the rivilege of using lightning rods If you will, but we ask you to stand up straight and not to cringe or shrink even in the face of ugly duty. We ask you not to Join the ranks of those who wojjW exorcise demons or burn witches ,or. trust talismen. We believe your training has fortified you so that you will not be inspired by dread of the unknown or horror of the new. We hope that In the stress and strain of life's struggle you will not be cajoled or stampeded by any evil threats. "We ask you to continue your habit of observing, of listening, of comparing and of thinking, if you do not scrutinize results, then who of all people will do so? Having a mind freed from a multitude at fears; thrilled with the epoch of making discoveries of this day; flushed with the glow of co-operative effort, which you have al ready put to the test in a definite, ! tangible way for your college; with a feeling of security born of a faith in the orderliness of the universe and the benevolence of God, we ask you to fare forthe to fight the fitful fevers of humanity which threaten their bodies and minds and souls.
