Helen and Warren; Their Married Life

By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Married Life," Author of "The Journal of a lseglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," Etc.

"She's such a blower." Warren t wished his cane. "Now that they've ; got that apartment, she'll put on more ' side than ever." . j "I know, dear, but that's Just her i way. She's really very nice." 1 "Huh. talks a perfect stream never 1 Ptops. And that voice of hers! Jove, I I don't see how Lawson stands her." j "Why, I think he's very fond of her," . demurred Helen. "He always seems to ;xbe." '; ' "Oh, Lawson's such a decent chap I he'd never let on. And he's the most modest ever. I'll wager he feels like crawling Into a hole when she begins to brag." "Dear, that must be it," nodding to an imposing apartment house on the next corner. "Yes," when they drew nearer, "that's the Rhlnecourt" It had been difficult to persuade Warren to this Sunday afternoon call, and now as they went up under the awning-covered entrance Helen was vaguely uneasy. Though fond of Lawson, Warren detested his wife, and if she were too assertive he was quite capable of some caustic comment. The bronze elevator swung them up to the tenth floor, where a smart-look ing maid answered their ring and ush ered them in. ' . Mrs. Lawson, In an expensive gown of corded taffeta, greeted them gushingly. Mr. Lawson's cordiality -was . hearty and unaffected. "yVhy, it's the first time you've seen our new apartment!" enthused Mrs. Lawson. "No, sit over here. You can get the view from this window." For perhaps five minutes she allowed the conversation to be general, then she brought it back to the apartment. "Oh, we like it here so much. The house is so exceptional. The Van Ingens you've heard of them they're Just over us, and the Berkleys are on the fifth floor." Helen tried to look impressed, though she had never heard of either Van Ingens or the Berkleys. "We looked everywhere! We came very near going to the Wilthory, but I'm so glad we didn't. It's really not In the same class with this." "These rooms are lovely," murmured Helen, "and they're so large." "Twelve rooms and four baths!" the phrase fairly rolled off in her eagerness to get it out. "We really don't need so much for Just us two, but you can't get the baths in the smaller apartments. Of course, James and I each want our own bath, and yo . must have one with the guest room and i one for the maids. If you're rested, I'll i show you through." "Oh, I'd love it!" j Mrs. Lawson rose with alacrity. I "James, we'd better take them through now before we have tea." "All right, you go on. Curtis and 1 are pretty comfortable." "No no, I'm sure Mr. Curtis wants to see the arrangements of the rooms." "Why, certainly." Warren's politeness was punctilious. "You've got quite- ; a place here." "Yes, twelve rooms and four baths!" i glibly. "And they're all outside-rooms bitf two." "Lena, we really shouldn't call it 1 twelve," Mr. Lawson was plainly embarrassed by his wife's laudations. "That hall's hardly a room." , "Of course it's a room," sharply. 1 "They always count the reception hall 1 a room. Now this is the library. We can throw this, the drawing room and the dining room all together. You won't find such a sweep in many apartments." "No, that's very wonderful," ext claimed Helen. "Oh, I want you to see this table you're Interested in antiques. Chinese Chippendale. Look at those legs and this carving,' running her hand along the cnrved edge. "I had to pay n scnndalot:s price $325! But I just had to have It for this corner." Kvcn had the table been genuine, which Helen doubted, it would not have been worth that. Was she deliberately exaggerating, or had some unscrupulous dealer induced her to pay that much? "Now this is James' bedroom," leading the way into a large baywlndof ed room. , "I want you to notice that chest of drawers; we think tbat'B a very unusual piece. Those are the original handles. Yes, Isn't that a wonderful old bed? I love those old testers, but James is so fussy, he wouldn't have the curtains."

"I like a little air when I sleep," laughed Mr. Lawson. "Lena can drape everything - in . the place except my bed." Ignoring her husband's remarks, Mrs. Lawson now opened the door into, her room, which was even more luxuriously furnished. She showed them everything, casually mentioning the price of the most expensive pieces. In the dining room she expatiated on the $900 sideboard and the Sheraton corner cabinet, filled with china that she impressively informed them was real Worcester. The guest room and bath came next. Straining nervously to cover Warren's stolid, unresponsive silence, Helen kept murmuring: "How lovely! How charming! How very attractive!" When the whole apartment had been duly inspected and admired, they returned to the library for tea. It was an over-elaborate tea, served by the 6mart French maid. "You really have a wonderful apartment," repeated Helen for the dozenth time, feeling that she had not risen to the occasion, that she was still expected to say something more. "Yes, we think it is," glowed Mrs. Lawson. "But of course," with a deprecating laugh, "it's not cheap. What do you suppose we pay here?" "Oh, ,1 wouldn't have any idea," evaded. Helen. '' -: "' . ' ' j "What would you say", Mr. Curtis?" turning to Warren with an air that implied that here at least he would be impressed.. "Oh, I don't know the rents around here," carelessly, "but I should say about $4,000." . "Four thoueand ' dollars!" in shrill Indignation. Four thousand dollars for twelve rooms and four baths, in this neighborhood! Why, we pay ovor twice that $8,500." "Oh, you do?" WTarren reached for another tea cake.

Mrs. Lawson, nettled at his unconcern, launched into an affected account of the care of such an apartment. Of course, they had to have three maids, and it was really too much for her to look after. She was thinking of getting a housekeeper, some one who would take the respon SCHOOL HEADS BLAME MOTHERS Say Parents Neglect Primary Health Rules. That many Fchool children are being allowed to become chronically constipated through parents' oversight, is a startling fact brought to light by recent investigation by school authorities. Hastily snatched meals so that there will be more time to play, the use of ready-to-eat cereals, and the general neglact of the call of nature are given as principal causes. It is the duty of mothers to see that children attend to the call of nature before going to school, and that children are not given habit-forming pills, salts, etc. When a laxative is needed, it should be Castor-Jell, which is Castor oil in a new and pleasant jelly form. It does not form a habit and can be bought at Thistethwaite's drug stores. The Castor Products Co., Cleveland, Ohio. Adv. Digestive Troubles cause headache, biliousness, constipation; impure blood and other unpleasant symptoms. If these troubles are neglected they weaken the body and open the way for serious illness.

sibility off of her; that she was really not strong enough etc. At the first break in this flow of egotism, Helen hastily made the move to go. She knew that Warren was exasperated to the boiling-over point, and she wanted to get him away before he said-anything rude. Even in the hall, Mrs. Lawson had to call their attention to an old carved chest that she had "picked up" in the south of France. "And, ' oh, before you go, I MUST show you this rug! We got that in Cairo. It's a sixteenth century temple rug and a very unusual design." Again Helen murmured her "How very ' interesting," and other overworked phrases, until they finally made their escape. Warren started to explode in the elevator, but Helen nudged him, with a warning glance at the boy. When they reached the street he fairly snorted. "I'd like, to be that woman's husband for just about ten minutes. '-. I'd put a quietus on that mouth of hers if I had. to knock her block off." , , "Why, dear!" in shocked reproof. "She never let up! .Kept right at it That's her regular stunt? Drags all her callers around, does she, and rams the whole apartment down their throats?" "Yes, she was pretty insistent," admitted Helen. "Insistent? She's Insistent all right. She set out to impress us and, by George, she didn't let up for a minute." "But, dear, you were awfully rude about the rent. You knew they paid more than $4,000." "Ha ha! I handed her one there! Mad as a hatter, wasn't she? Twelve rooms and four baths! Didn't she roll it out though every time she got a chance. . When Jimmy Lawson married her, she lived in a little runt of a house out in Marshtown, and I'll wager she took her Saturday night bath in the tin foot-tub." Helen laughed. "She did lay it on rather thick about the four baths." Then reflectively:. "Did you notice that table? Do you suppose she really paid $325 for that?" -"She might," with a shrug. "Fool enough for anything. She's the type J

If mes would use EVERY WEEK ANT1 -SEPTIC OIL SHAMPOO instead of the strong alkali shampoos which are so commonly used, they would preserve their hair Tather than invite baldness. EVERY WEEK SHAMPOO dissolves and removes the dandruff (dry er oily), opens the hair cells, feeds and strengthens the famished roots and leaves the hair clean, soft, fluffy silky and the scalp healthy. A weekly application for men and children and every other week for women keeps the scalp clean, healthy and the hair in excellent condition.
