She Married an Average Man

BY ZOE BECKLEY

"And now I'll tell you about the people in the little green house with i the trellis," began Mrs. Pardoe on the day of her second visit. "My sakes . alive, Mis' Salsbery, I want you to j take nntiro nf Stella anA AroMa Slmt!

"There Is a woman that has been through fire and water for a perfect goop of a man and glad to do it! I asked her one day, 1 says, 'Stella Sims, you're a wonderful woman; how did you ever come to marry Archie? He's Buch a poor stick,' I says, right out plain like that. "Stella just smiled such a beautiful smile! She didn't get a bit offended. 'Well, I'll tell you, Mrs. Pardoe,' she says, 'Archie don't seem a stick to me. It's all In what a man means to a woman, you know. Archie means love and honor and generosity and kindness and and and the kiddies. Oh, if you knew how he has remade my life, Mrs. Pardoe, you'd see why I love him so and find it a joy to do what I can to make him happy.' "That's what she said. And she eaid It with a Joan of Arc look in her eyes and her hands held tight against her bosom as if she didn't know how to be earnest enough. But, law sakes! I do know what her life was, Mis' Salsbery. Everybody in the village knows. She comes from some place lip in Canada where they speak in French, and she married an old skeezicks from Albany a rich politician he was. And you know what sort of trash that is! "He treated her something terrible. They say she stood it seven years before it occurred to her there was anything in life for a woman but to stand things from men. Then she woke up

and ran away to New York. ! "She had a tough time of it; he saw to that with his crooked friends and bis money. But she wouldn't go back to him. She got work, but always

lost it through him conniving. Finally she got sick and had a siege in the hospital. When she came out she st rugged along somehow, but finally she went under. You know what I mean, Mis' Salsbery. She was too pretty to escape. "Well, I don't know the ins and put of it, but Archie Sims came along and found her in some place that the hadn't ought to be. Instead of treating her contemptible, Archie set her straight. Got her a place with Bome friends of his in a b'.g business bouse. "She followed at Archie's heels like setter pup, poor child. They had nothing but trouble. Arch fooled around with art and pot'ry and such stuff and couldn't keep a job. She did, though. Worked like a galley Plave to support them both, and never lot out a peep. "Then Arch came into his monoy find the little house yonder. Gradually Stella bloomed out, happy-like, same as she is today. There are folks who say they never had marriage lines said over 'em. But I'm broadminded. 1 give 'em the benefit of the doubt. "They've got two of the sweetest young ones that ever drew breath, and as long's Stella's satisfied with Arch what does it matter? "That's the way with 6ome women, you know. Mis' Salsbery. Whatever belongs to them they can't see no fault with. Just out of gratitude they dress up their men-folks in virtues they make believe are there. And they end by convincing themselves thev are there. "Stella never got decent treatment

from fine, successful men, so poor Archie looked good to her, ornery as he is. She's as happy as the day is long. And who's to tell her she ain't? "But I must run along now. Mis' Salsbery. and see to my soup bone. I'll run over tomorrow and tell you about the yellow house next to the blacksmith's." (To be continued.)

Mrs. Solomon Says Being The Confessions of The Seven-Hundreth Wife. BY HELEN ROWLAND

(Copyright, 1919, by the Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) Being The Confessions of The Seven Hundredth Wife Concerning Masculine Caprice, and Feminine Versatility. "Hola, hola, hola!" cryeth the Reformer. "Consider the shocking fashions of women! For each fad is more freakish than that which preceded it, and every one more foolish than that

which went before. "And all is forwardness and folly and vanity and pneumonia! "Lo, evening-gowns are sleeveless and backless, and ALMOST skirtless, and the bathing-suit is but a scrap of paper. "Vamps have passed away, and sirens are no more, and the flapper and the baby-doll shall soon follow after them. "And WHAT will women do next!" But I say unto you, my daughter, no woman knoweth what she will do next. For she knoweth not what men will demand of her! Behold, men said: "We are weary of the bread-and-butter damsel in muslin and bule ribbons! And the 'sweet young thing' that quoteth Harold Bell Wright and singeth 'The Rosary' is a constant diet of breakfast food! "Give us women of understanding and experience and a little spice!" And lo, all the women hearkened. And straightway, they donned long ear-rings and rice-powder and sinuous draperies and sophisticated ways, and became show-girls and Loreleis and 'vampires' and Kitty Gordons. And the men were at first rejoiced but, seeing them all ALIKE, they soon sickened, and yearned for something

"wholesome and kittenish and full of youth and innocence." And again, all the women hearkened. And straightway, they bobbed their hair and cut off their clinging skirts and became squabs and flappers, and "cute young things." And Mary Pickford, herself, could not out-ingenue them! And, Irene Castle were not more piquante! But the Cult of the Squab and the reign of the Baby-Doll have passed; and when men cry, NEXT!" woman

will do whatsoever they ask of her,

whether it he to snave ner head or to wear a ring-in-the-nose for man's delight! For, every woman, in her time, playeth many parts, and a stock actress is not more versatile! Verily, Verily, so long as men demand a continuous vaudeville show, women shall never cease to be lightning-change artists and milliner's ' mannikins, tripping to the tune of the fashionable arbiters. So long as men continue to prefer a

Bird-of-Paradise to a Wren, preachers and pronhets and health experts shall expostulate in vain! For the curse of woman is NOT vanity, but humility. And her consuming desire is to appear beautiful in the eyes of her Beloved!

Go to! Fashion is a monster which devoureth a woman's soul. But masculine CAPRICE grew this thine and we can prove it! Selah.

SHUT OFF HECKLING AT U. S. "DRY'S" COPENHAGEN TALK COPENHAGEN. Feb. 11. The Rev. Dr. David Oestlund, a prohibition worker from America, held the second public meeting of his prohibition campaign at the Copenhagen Y. M. C. A.. A large crowd attended the meeting. When it was announced that, no discussion would be permitted there was considerable "booing" and a large majority left the hall. The remainder listened with few interruptions. The Rev. Mr. Oestlund lectured on "The Blessings of Prohibition in America."

BEER WORTH $15,000 SLAKES WINONA. Minn. Feb. 11. Twentytwo hundred barrels of 4 p-reat beer, valued at $15,000, was emptied into the sewers leading to the Mississippi river today. The beverage was the property of the Park Brewing company and was on hand when the brewing of beer was stopped by the government.

ACCORDING to a recent dispatch from London, Lady Bingham, the American wife of Major General Sir Cecil Bingham, is about to open a millinery establishment in the west end of the British metropolis. Lady Bingham is one of the most beautiful of American peeresses. She is a daughter of

the late Colonel H. Montgomery Carr, of Louisville, Ky. Her first husband

was Samuel Sloan : Chauncey, a Brook- J

lyn million aire twice her age, who died in less than two years after their marriage. With her infant daughter, her mother and sister, now Lady Newboroueh. the young

Ladv Bingham, widow went to Eu

rope. Her social triumph was immediate. Among her persistent suitors were Lord Rosebury, his son, Lord Dalmeny; Prince Miguel de Braganza of Portugal, Lord Kitchner, Andrew Monley, millionaire London merchant; James J. Van Allen and numerous others. She forgot them all when General Cecil Bingham appeared. Their marriage took place early in 1911. During the war, while Sir Cecil was in France, she was active in relief work in London. One of her successes was at the great fair at the

Caledonian market, where she conducted a French hat stall. It may have been from this experience Lady Bingham got the idea for

a hat shop. In Billy Benedict's society comment in the New York Evenining Journal, there appears a picture of Lady Newborough, sister of Lady Bingham, and daughter of Montgomery Carr, for several years a resident of Richmond.

There is also comment about Lady Bingham going into "trade" to fight the high cost of living: Lady Bingham was Miss Alice Carr, and Lady Newborough, Miss Grace Carr. They resided on South Twelfth and Thirteenth streets during their residence in this city. Both, though one was a decided blond and the other brunette, were considered girls of exceptional beauty. .From Richmond the Carrs moved to Louisville, Ky., where an old friend, Dr. Griffith a fashionable physician, saw to it that they had many of the advantages bestowed upon his own daughter. Alice was asked to spend a few weeks in Florida, the guests of

the Griffiths, and there she met the wealthy Samuel Sloane Chauncey, of Brooklyn, whom she married after a short courtship. "Within a few years," writes Billy

Benedick, "he died leaving his widow

a fortune of several million dollars

and then Mrs. Chauncy was able to realize her girlhood hope." ' She soon married Lord Charles Newborough, a peer of considerable wealth who stood in high favor with late King Edward. Her sister was soon married to General Cecil Bingham, who was recently promoted, and hi3 wife is now entitled to 'Lady' on her calling cards. Lord Newborough made the supreme sacrifice during the late war, and his still lovely widow is in this country, in Florida.

SCALDING WATER KILLS 1 BROKER IN SHOWER BATH NEW YORK, Feb. 11. R. P. Cregar. 67 years 'old, banker and broker of New York and Philadelphia, died at the Hotel Chatham here of scalds and shock received while in his shower bath. His wife heard him scream, ran to the bathroom, and found him prone under a stream of boiling water. She was unable herself to pull him out. When she ' got help Mr. Cregar was so scalded that he died soon afterward. Physicians said his death was caused by scalding and something similar to shell shock in the trenches. His widow says she could not find the faucet to turn it off because the room was full of steam.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young v. idow. having lost my husband in the flu epidemic of 191S. I am living with my parendts again and am very lonely. We moved to this city several months ago, but I have found it impossible to get acquainted. I am very ouiet and stay at home a great deal, which of course makes it hard for me

to become acquainted. I attend church and have been hoping I would learn to know some one there, but so far I have not. As 1 am young I long for the companionfhip of some young woman, one who vould be a heart to hart friend and chum. I am twenty-five years old. rlay the piano, am fond of skating! horseback riding, movies, and in summer going picnicking to parks and taking pictures, and all innocent good times. I am writing in hope that you may suggest something helpful. A LONELY HEART. The problem of the lonely stranger has never been adeouately worked out. To join classes at the Y. W. C. A. and to attend church seems to be almost the only means a stranger has to become acquainted. It is unfortunate that you attend church and find that of no help. Probably people do not realize how lonely you are. Go to the minister of the church and tell him what you have written me. I am sure thrj e will help you in some way.
