How much a week is it possible to
get married on?"
Bless their dear, eager, hopeful
hearts, why will they insist upon ask
ing me such an utterly impossible
question?
But they always will, and with a half
Dozen letters before me all asking the
same thing in slightly varying formu-
las, I'll answer as I always do.
THAT depends"
Now 1 know that most of my cor
respondents are disappointed. They
hoped 1 would name a sum so salts
factorily small that they might quote
it to unduly conservative parents and
say. You see what other people think
But truly, dear, eager blind folks, 1,
does depend. First of all on how much
you are used to having.
You must have enough to buyt he
necessities of life. You know love sell
dom flourishes when they are absent.
But what do I regard as necessities?
In a recent economic investigation con-
Quoted for the purpose of defining the
term, one family included a piano
among the necessities of life.
If your necessities are of that kind
you will need an income to match.
And next it depends upon the glrfs
ability as a manager and housewife.
Of course the girl you are going to
marry is the sweetest, incest and dear
est girl in the world but if you want
to marry her on a small income you
must also inquire about her material
qualifications.
Fourteen dollars a week is enough

BASEBALL GAME FOR INDOORS

How to Play It.

First you get board which is 24x1s
inches: Then you smooth it off and
paint it one side green, like grass.
Then get some white paint and paint
a baseball diamond on the green.
Then cut from the pitchers box to the
home plate a grove big enough for a
ball from a ball bearing to roll in.
The metal ball is your ball. Cut holes
in the board at first, second, and third
base. and drive three nails at the
back of these to keep the ball in. Do
the same at the center. left, and right
field. and at shortstop. Put some
nails around at different places on
the field to knock the ball around At
the end of the field put a bell. When
this bell rings you have a home run.
Then take a piece of wood and cut
a bat about three inches long. and
nail it in the middle so it will turn.
Put tack on the end of the bat,
and on the board. then put a rubber
on the two tacks so that when YOU
pull the bat it will knock the ball.
Put sides on the board so the bali will
not roll off. Then it is ready for the

GREAT LOVE STORIES
- OF HISTORY G.
ARTHUR AND GUINEVERE
BY ALBERT PAYSON TERIIUNE
Copyright by the Author.)

"She was the finest woman in the
universe. Her stature was noble and
elegant, her complexion fair and her
eyes the fairest blue of the heavens. -
Thus one chronicler describes the
Princes Guinevere, daughter OF the old
Celtic king, Leodegraunce. Much OF
her story and Arthur's is so shrouded
In legend that the actual facts are
hard to determine. Here is the tale
as it is generally accepted:
Arthur, a Celtic prince, was spirited
away in childhood by loyal servants
to save him from assassination. When
he reached manhood he was made
known to the people and (about 500
4. d. became king of part of Britain.
lie found the country in terrible con-
diti0n. Poverty stalked abroad. The
wilderness had swallowed up most of
the farmland; robbers and cruel bar
ons oppressed the poor. Arthur set
out to remedy all this. To aid him in
the task he gathered about him q
tn. kn,oh+. .< band OF mobiles
the Round Table known as the
'Knights of the
Round Table," who were sworn to re.
dress wrongs, help the needy, protect
women and lead upright lives. So
well did Arthur govern and so ably did
his knights aid him that soon the
kingdom was prosperous and safe.
The bravest of the Knights of the
Round Table was Sir LancelOt of the
Lake. Arthur and Lancelot were as
brothers in their affection for one an.
other. The king saw and fell in love
with the beautiful Guinevere. Being
detained at home by affairs of state,
ne did not go to her fathers court to
WOO her in person, but chose Lancelot
as his messenger.
Now, Lancelot set forth for the cas-.
tie OF King Leodegraunce with every
idea of fulfilling his royal masters
commands. But at first sight of Guine.
vere's loveliness he wholly lost his
head. From that moment he blindly
adored her. Honor, loyalty. his
knightly vows-all were swept away
IN that mighty tide of love. He could
scarce bring himself to plead Arthur's
suit instead of his own. Guinevere, on
her part, mistook the handsome stran.

the thought that she was to become

his bride. Learning the truth, she was
inconsolable. But the welfare of the
kingdom compelled the two lovers to
set aside their own wishes Guinevere
sadly accompanied Lancelot back to
Arthur's palace at Camelot and there
welded the unsuspecting monarch.
But she and Lancelot could not for
get each other. Lancelot absented
himself for long intervals from the
court In order to drive Guinevere from
his memory; and the queen sought to
rule wisely at Arthur's side. But, at
last, whispers of her concealed love
for Lancelot were breathed abroad
The Knights of the Round Table gos-
slped of it. Since the bravest of their
number could so far forget his loyalty
as to dare lift his eyes to the queen,
the rest began little by little to lose
the exalted ideas that had made the
Round Table so terrible a menace to
evil doers.
Last of all, Arthur himself learned
OF the affair. He was horriEed; fer
his own simple loyalty could not grasp
| the idea that his wife and his dearest
x:u ,.,..,, friend could have
kept such secret
from him. Lance

advisers persuaded the king to make
war on him. Then it was that Sir
Modred, Arthur's treacherous nephew,
who hated the king and his reforms.
saw that the time was ripe for rebel
lion. He headed a revolution against
his uncle, and the once peaceful land
was plunged once more into the ho:-
rors of warfare. Arthur freely forgave
Guinevere and rode forth at the head
of his knights to repel Modred's invsa-
sion. In great battle near Bath.
England, in $40 the two armies met.
Arthur was victorious and Modred
was slain. But Arthur received deaih
wound during the last charge. Tsle
kingdom and the reforms he had so
wisely built up crumbled to pieces at
ihs death destroyed by one womans
