She Married An Average Man

BY ZOB BBGKLBT

"The letter was from Erie Sands not from my husband. I could feel Athena's eyes on me as I snatched it from her hand and tore open the envelope. "Ann. you're an odd little bird," she said, casually, Indifferent to the fact that I was eager to read Eric's letter. "I knew you were not a rubber stamp woman' even when I saw you first out in Centerville. I knew you had Individuality. But I didn't think you would take to life so quickly. A year ago you would have been scandalized at receiving a love letter Irora a man not your husband.' "It'sxnot a love letter," I murmured, already half way through it. "I bet it begins, "Dear Little Human Flame, or something like that, I am not poking fun, dear; it's only that I know types." And Athena emitted one of her eloquent chuckles, of which wisdom, fun and sympathy were component parts. Athena never offends because you feel she always understands. "Not far wrong," I answered absent;ly, for I was too deeply engrossed in Eric's words to heed Athena's. " 'Dear Fire and Snow,' he wrote, 'I shall not harass you with a long letter. I know you are troubled and need rest And that is what' I want to give you. Try and think of me not as a person, but as a grassy hillock beside a sunny sea. Soft breezes blow and the warm earth holds you gently, but with strong, comfort-giving arms. There is a tang of salt in the air and a faint scent of flowers. No hurry, no noise, no one about but you and the little grassy hillock which gives you peace and it is I, remember. "'I know exactly a place like this in England in Cornwall. There are wee stone cottages with brilliant gardens and fat cats purring in the sun. Think of it, little woman, tormented with a hundred pestering duties and problems. It will bring you rest, just as the thought of you brought rest to me as I lay in the field hospital more dead than living.' " I laid the letter in my lap, closed my eyes and dreamed. When I looked up again Athena had gone and I sat alone with my thoughts. It was true; the picture brought rest, and I basked in it. Then my mind went straying. I strayed to my old middle western city, with its flat horizon, factory chimney, grain elevators and busy, ambitious, commonplace men and women. Something within me responded to the picture. Then to my newer home in New York, city of a million miracles of genius and industry, field of a million hardfought battles, place of opportunity for the worker, the student, the dreamer of dreams. Ah all of me responded to that! Then to Jim, with his strong body, his good equipment, his stubborn yet not always well-directed will all the things I liked about him and all the things I didn't. And his conventional, maternally biased, energetic, uninteresting mother. If only "Well, enjoyed your epistle from the Briton?" shot Athena, returning to the porch and scattering my halfformed thoughts. "But don't bother to tell me, child. To bed with you: I see you're in the mood for sleep. Eric's a nice boy, but he's no nearer perfection than the rest of us. Tomorrow I'll tell you his weak link, if you haven't found it out for yourself."

I must read his letter again before I put out my light. (To be continued.)

As a Woman rtinketri BY HELEN ROWLAND i

(Copyright, 1919, by Th Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) . WHY MEN DON'T UNDERSTAND A WOMAN. Why can a man never understand a woman. When It's SO easy! For instance She always wants to be the last woman in a man's life and yet, she wants him to make love to her- exactly as though she were the first. She wants him to regard her love as a priceless treasure and yet, to be eager to pay her bills and ready to come across with the alimony. She wants him to kiss her with all the- artistic tenderness of a practised Lotharic and with all the enthusiasm of an amateur. She wants him to coddle her and treat her like a .spoiled baby and at the same time to permit her to "mother" him, chaperone him, and act as Tils food censor. She wants him to pat her on the head and at the same time to kneel down and kiss the hem of her garments, with reverence. She wants to tell him everything, the minute it happens and at the same time she yearns to be regarded as a deep, dark, fascinating mystery. She wants him to pay for her "permanent wave" and to buy her idiotic little hats at insane prices and yet to believe that underneath these, she has brains, ideas, and sound political opinions. She wants him to dress like a tailor's advertisement, wear his hair like a poet's, make love like a movingpicture idol, dance like an angel and at the same time to make a living for her. She wants him to be strong enough to have made his own career, in the past and yet weak enough to let her map out his future for him. She wants to be able to make a hero of him with one hand and a fool of him with the other.

: She wants to be the "angel, who appeals to his higher nature and, at the same time, to murder all the women who appeal to the other nine-tenths of him. ' ." She wants him to tell her nothing but the honest truth and, at the same time, to swear that she is the only woman he ever enjoyed kissing. She wants him to trust her absolutelyand, at the same time, always to be a little jealous never to be quite SURE of her. She wants him to caress her with one hand and to win battles, write checks, and make himself a "power" in the world, with the other. She wants him to be frugal, economical, and provident and at the same time to tip the hall-boys and waiters with princely prodigality. She wants him to be the sun, moon, and stars of her existence and at the same time to serve as an umbrella on a rainy day. She wants him to "understand" her and at the same time to think her the only absolutely perfect woman in the world! That is positively all a woman wants! And yet how FEW men comprehend her. Or ever satisfy her starving soul! Chester, lnd. Mrs. Ida Pickett returned home Monday, after spending a few days 'visiting relatives at Brookville, lnd... Mrs. Caleb Duke has been spending several days with her mother, Mrs. Brown, who has been quite sick at her home west of Richmond. . .George Strelf of Cincinnati, returned home Monday, after a week's visit with Charles Huffman and family and his sister, Mrs. Mary Huffman. .. .Captain Rogers was called to Lynn, Tuesday, on account of the serious illness of his wife at the home of her son Mrs. Catherine Hodgin has been seriously ill at her home south of here. . .

REAL "INSIDE" INFORMATION

When Constipated, Bilious, Headachy, Take "Cascarets" for Liver and Bowels No "Shake Up"

Are you keeping your bowels, liver and stomach clean, pure, and fresh with Cascarets, or merely whipping them into action every few days with Salts, Cathartic Pills, Oil, or Purgative Waters? Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let Cascarets gently cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour and fer

menting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the colon and bowels all the constipated waste matter and poisons so you can straighten up. Cascarets tonight will make you feel great by morning. They work while you- sleep never gripe, sicken, or cause any inconvenience, they cost so little too. Adv.
