CEORGlANNA STARTS
" A MARRIAGE SCHOOL
For the Benefit of an Unmarried
Friend, Who Finds the Lesson
Unconvincing.

Nlr and Mrs. William Lancaster were
at breakfast in their apartment on River
side Drive. 1t was a clear, cold morning
in md-November. From the window of
the dining room they could see the busy
nver and beyond it the towering masses Of
brown and yellow foliage which marked
the beginning of the Palisades.
They had been married a month and
had just got settled in their first home.
Georgianna had preferred not to have
a long wedding trip. 1t would be much
nicer, she had said. to spend most OF the
honeymoon in New York and to get their
apartment ready at their leisure.
What William preferred nobody knew;
he didn't dare say. OF course they were
to take long trip later-that trip one is
always going to take and rarely does.
This morning Georgianna's brown eyes
we're alight with purpose and she nodded
her head. with its crown Of golden brown.
emphatically as she talked.
William, DEAR she said, now that
we're all nicely settled l want to give
party"
so soon1" drawled William. Married life
was making him lazy. We'll, what sort of
party?"
William had almost forgotten to eat. so
pleasing did he find the picture Of Georgi-
anna across the table It's 80 with young
husbands. But new as he was to this
phase Of domestic happiness. appetite won,
and he began on his grapefruit rs his wife
explained.
Il want to give a party for honey
mooners,' she said. Just four besides
ourselves.
There's Claire Robinson and her hus-
band, who actually met for the hrst time
at our wedding and ran away and got mar
ried the same day. What an extraordinary
way Of getting married!
Ours was much nicer though am sure
wish Claire every happiness. especially
since she sent you back to me when you
got mad and went away because OF my
friendship for John Clarkson.'
i suppose you want Clarkson here, too?'
Interrupted William, and his tone WASH t
PARTICULARLY pleasant. But Georglanna was
80 absorbed in her plan that she didn't notice
his manner
Surely she answered. "John Clarkson
and his bride. l was 80 sorry couldn I
get up to the Adirondacks to BEE them
married. but how could with my own
\ wedding only a month Off! They are liv-
ing in Washington. but are to be in New
York over next Sunday
How do you know that3' asked William.
She wrote me-" said Georgianna. And
think it was nice OF her. for never even
met her, She tbok that Irritation Of John
and myself as you persist in calling It, In
much better spirit than you did, William.
She wrote me that she didn't blame John
or me and wanted to meet me not only for
Johns sake, but for her own
: William was getting impatient. Though
ne knew he had been wrong in quarrelling
with Georgianna because she got to he on
good terms with another man when she
vas engaged to him. and had gone back to
her penitent and had been forgiven. still
tae less said about II the better. In his opin.
