Helen and Warren; Their Married Life By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Mrrle4 life." "Author of "The Journal of a Neglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," Etc.

"Here you are." Warren drew the room key from his pocket. "I'll finish this cigar and be up a little later." "Don't come too soon, dear; I've got to unpack." Helen gathered up her muff and coat. "Well, don't dawdle. We want to get down to dinner while things are fresh. Here; take these with you," thrusting at her the magazine and papers bought on the train. As their room was on the second floor, Helen not waiting for the elevator, ran up the broad red-carpeted stairs, and puzzled her way around the confusing turns of the corridor to "251." It was a large corner room with windows overlooking the lake. A fireplace with a laid lire fulfilled the promise of the hotel booklets, for among the distinctive features of this smart winter resort were the open fireplaces In every room. Drawing down the shades, Helen paused to gaze out at the witchery of the winter night. Beyond the icescnmmed lake, which reflected the hotel lights, stretched the blackness of the pine forest relieved by lingering patches of a recent snow. There was an alluring sense of comfort In being shut In this luxurious hotel with its warmth and lights, while outside the wind howled and the frozen fir branches rattled against the window panes. Swiftly Helen unpacked the two suit cases and laid out Warren's dinner coat and her flimsy evening gown, with its accessories of pearl silk stockings and brocaded slippers. There was always a subtle fascination in getting settled In a hotel room, and now with eager zest she distributed their toilet things on the dresser and washstand and their clothes in the paper-lined drawers. "Who do you think's here?" The door swung open and Warren strode In. "Thompson Jack Thompson.

Been down for a week." Then, with a scowl, "Haven't started to dress yet?" , "Dear, I had to unpack! I told you not to come so soon. We can't both dress at the same time there's only the one mirror." "Well, I'll do the lightning change and clear out in short order," peeling off his coat. "Yank out the glad ones."

! "Everything's right there on the ' bed. The studs are in your shirt." "Jove, it's cold up here. Why didn't , you light this fire?" "Won't it be too warm to sleep by?" "Burn out in an hour." He touched a match to the kindling. Instantly the leaping flames were roaring up the chimney. "That's something like," standing before the glowing warmth as he pulled on his coat-cut dress shirt. "They know how to build a fire here." "Is Mrs. Thompson here, too?" Helen was taking down her hair. "Yes, and his sister. We'll have some fun with them," jerking up his suspenders. "Thompson's a mighty good sort good billiard player, too." With astonishing rapidity Warrc finished dressing, changed the thinr in his pocket, filled his cigarette cas and was ready to go down. "I'll wait in the lounge room. N' don't stop to primp move fast." "Yes, dear, I'll hurry all I cin." At the door he paused with a wnv ing. "Don't swish around that fii ...11V. rnm fr(11o Will T'l hoMap n i

p that Bcreen. Left alone. Helen, with absorbing haste, began to dress. It was not un tit she was ready to slip on the filmy tulle gown, that she missed the crepe de chine petticoat she always wore with it. A hasty search through the things left in the suit case, revealed no petticoat. Surely she had brought it! Their few clothes she had laid in the

' two upper drawers, but now she pulled out all the other drtwers, only . . . . . , . . .

The situation was desperate. The ; dress could not be worn without an underskirt, for the gauzy tulle over chiffon was alarmingly transparent. As they were to stay only this one

evening gown, wnat could she do? She could not wear a traveling suit

10 mnner in an uura-sman uoiei where everyone dressed. , In futile, repeated searchings she opened the drawers and rummaged the suit cases while her incentive mind strove for something that could be used as a substitute. A flashing memory of a vaudeville sketch in which the star, snatching down a lace curtain and a velvet por- , tierre, wrapped them about her in an improvised evening gown, made Helen look hopefully about the room. But there was absolutely nothing that could be converted into a petticoat. She was wasting precious time. Warreifrwaitlng downstairs, would be rabid. Frantically she rang for the maid. Then with nervous impatience

6he threw on her long coat and peered out Into the hall. A few doors below a woman waB 6tooping over a large open trunk, which she was evidently unpacking to send down. She was Uiking out an armful of lacy lingerie. Without stopping to think, impulsively Helen rushed up to her with a flushed breathless: "Oh, I know it's a dreadful thing to ask but I I forgot to bring an underskirt for this gown. Look!" opening her coat and showing the sheer draperies through which gleamed her silken hosiery. "Could you," desperately, "could you lend me one? Anything will do!" The woman, stout, blonde, and hateful, stared at Helen with frigid hauteur. "Hadn't you better ask the housekeeper?" her voice was coldly contemptuous. "Perhaps she can supply you with clothes." At this insolent rebuff Helen stood dazed. Then, turning blindly back to her room, she sank on the bed, her burning face in her hands. In writhing mortification, she loathed herself and her reckless impulsiveness that had led her to make such a request of such a woman. A tap at the door brought her to her feet. It was the maid. Her face still aflame, Helen explained her skirtless predicament. "Why, I've got a plain white petticoat, ma'am. It ain't very fine but it just came up from the laundry. It's out here in the linen closet." "Then get it quick quick as you can!" In a moment the maid reappeared with a stiffly-starched skirt, edged with cheap, coarse lace. It was much too long, but it was soon shortened by a hasty sa'cty-pined tuck. With effusive thanks and a generous tip, Helen had just dismissed the maid when the door was flung open and Warren bolted in. "What in blazes are you doing up

here?" "Oh, I'm sorry but I had to fix my dress. I I had to take a tuck in an underskirt," not daring to tell the whole truth. "Why in Sam Hill dont you have things in shape before you start? You've got nothing else to do yet your clothes are never ready. Now what? . Going to stand before that glass all night?" "Dear, it's not quite eight they don't serve dinner until half past." "Yes, and nothing's lit to eat after It's stood on the steam table." Not daring to take time to powder her neck and arms, or give the final touches to her hair, Helen followed Warren down the hall with the unhappy consciousness that she was not quite "fixed." "What's that thing hanging in the back?" as they reached the top of the stairs. "Want that to show?"

Twisting around, Helen caught a glimpse of the coarse lace showing at least an inch below her -gauzy skort. "Oh. wait I wont be a second! I'll nave to pin that up!" Dashing back to theor room, she flashed on the lights and clumsily pinned up the skirt with small pins, having used the last safety one. v . "Think you'll hold together now?" sniffed Warren contemptuously, when with panting baste she joined him in the hall below. .. '. iV-. ... As they walked through' the wide-palm-fringed corridor past the throbbing orchestra, Helen's - discomfort was intensified by the hastily-thrust pins pricking her ankles at every step. The great white and rose diningroom was crowded with guests. Shimmering gowns and bare shoulders gleamed under the silk-shaded candles. A gracious head waiter met them at the door and escorted them to a small table by the wall. While Warren was absorbed in the bewildering array of dishes on the American plan dinner card, Helen, after some surreptitious squirming, arranged her pin-bristling skirt so that It would not touch her ankles. It was not until the order for the clams and soup had been given that Helen, glancing up, met the haughty stare of the woman she had so impulsively accosted in the hall. Extravagantly gowned in gleaming

jet, she was sitting at Ihe table just back of Warren. '' '

With heightening color. Helen fum

bled with the celery by her plate. "Dear, would you mind changing

seats?" in a guarded undertone. "I

I feel a draught." "Draught?" incredulouEly. "Not a breath of air in here!" "Su-sh, not so loud! It's that woman back of you. Don't look now! I I met her upstairs. Oh, she was so rude I'd rather not sit facing hen" "In wrong already, eh? Well, you can queer yourself In less time and

more ways! Now we came down here for a rest don't you ; start in making things difficult! No, you sit right where you are and stop registering injured innocence. Here," to the passing1 waitress, "send the wine boy to this table!"

Switches from Wilson to Hughes James D. Ryan, secretary of the Princeton, Ind., local Order of Raikvay Conductors, and one of the oldest organizers in the country in point of service, says: "Why was I for Wilson immediately after the 'eight-hour settlement and against him now? Well, I'm ashamed to tell it, but Fm going to. I knew if the strike was called promptly followng the 'poll' and before August 1 we would win it But first one delay and then another came. And then President Wilson 'asked' the brotherhood representatives to call on him. The President's requests are to be regarded as commands. They went. The delays grew. The 400,000 men were on tenterhooks of anxiety over the outcome, which meant so much to them. The soldier at the front or in the trenches is brave as he prepares to leap to the attack. But restrain him hold him back a day, two days, and the strain gets on his nerves; his ginger begins to evaporate. That's just what happened to me, and to others m this strike matter the delays caused a whole lot of ginger to evaporate; the strike that might have been won before August 1 was doubtful when it had been delayed to September 4, and I confess when the President finally put that measure through I felt a great big relief from the strain, and my heart beat with gratitude toward Woodrow Wilson., "But gradually I began to wake up and to feel ashamed of my weakness, when after some hard thinking I came to the full realization of all that had been taken from us by Wilson; that we had been robbed of the powerful leverage of our 'collective bargaining' and had been forced into the necessity of becoming a political machine to take our demands each time before Congress. If the law shall stand. Thereupon I decided that I would vote for Charles Evans Hughes, and that it is my duty to try to urgchis support by brotherhood men who value all they have labored for so many years, and for a protective tariff that will insure good business conditions for the country and for them."

Does Not Protect Hours of Labor M. M.. Garland, of Pittsburgh, former vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, in discussing Adamson law says: The Adamson law, whatever else it may be, is not in any sense an act to restrict labor to eight hours. No railroad man at the hearings in Congress ever intimated that he wanted an eight-hour day. They all said that what they wanted was an increase in wages so as to get a fairer shsre of the railroads' increased earnings, due to the fact that trains manned by the same number of men were earning many times as much for the railroads by reason of the longer trains and the stronger engines. The. bill as first presented contained a provision for time and a half for overtime, but when it came from the committee there was no provision for time and a half for overtime, but merely for prorata day for time over eight hours. "This means that so far as this act is concerned it might as well mention four hours as a basis of pay or one hour. If the longer hours of a full day for which the railroad men wanted pay was only to be pro rata for the hour mentioned, the men would earn no more under a law that read four hours or one hour as a basis. As the law is worded it contains no benefit to the railroad men."

Extracts from Legal Opinion on Adamson Wage Law by M. L. Clawson, Foremost Attorney for Organized Labor In Indiana. "The Adamson act does not state that his work shall cease with eight hows, but that it shall simply be a basis for reckoning compensation, and that it shall be considered a standard day's labor. It further does not provide a penalty for any one who requires or permits service beyond the 16-hour period. - "Under tlie Adamson act a man may work 24 fours', and for a period of 11 months as a maximum beyond the time of the commission's appointment, it simply prescribes the rate of wage that he shall receive, and for all periods of time beyond the 11 months hereinbefore referred to. There is no restriction as to hours of labor at all so far as a violation of the act is concerned, for Sec 1 of the act simply says that eight hours shall be considered the standard work day. Therefore zve have only one law which imposes a penalty for working more than 16 hours and that is the so-called hours of service act. ' ...

"Now, if a trainman shall run 100 miles in 5 hours; and 8 hours is the basis for reckoning his compensation, we are of the opinion tJiat under the Adamson act after the maximum time of 11 months has expired, there is no rate of wage provided, and that it is wholly a matter of negotiation between tlie railways and their employes, and zve are of tJze opinion that within the 11 months as a maximum period the trainman who travels 100 miles in 5 hours will receive his proportionate part of the eight-hour standard pay. "

"We therefore conclude that if he works the standard eight-hour day he gets the present standard pay. If he works one-half the present standard eight-hour day he gets one-half the present standard wage scale." ,
