After The Honeymoon
Married Life the First Year.

But something simple and in good
taste. 1t needn't be expensive. They
wouldn't expect it.
| We'll, what would you suggest"
! He hesitated. oh, | can't think OF
anything just now-something useful
and inexpensive. This idea of giving
extravagant presents because others
do is all wrong. Gifts should be a free
expression of ones good will-they
shouldn't be forced or beyond ones
means"
yes, I know-but if you'll give me
some idea of what to GET
Il told you" irritably, Il couldn't
think of anything just now. But there
are plenty of useful and simple things.
Look through the shops-a dozen
things will suggest themselves"
About what do you think we should
pay?"
"Oh, not more than five or six dol
lars"
Five or six dollars! Why, Warren,
l couldn't get anything for that. I'd
rather not send anything at ALI"
THAT will suit me quite we'll"
"Our expenses have been heavy en-
ough in furnishing this apartment.
I've no intention of adding to them
by elaborate wedding presents"
He pushed back his chair and rose
from the table, IT'S after nine I'll be
late as it is"
He kissed her coldly, perfunctorily,
and was gone.
Five or six dollars for a wedding
present for Estelle Hartman! The
angry color famed in her cheeks. And
the vase she had given them had cost
thirty at least!
The Wedding Present Found.
Was Warren as mercenary as that?
Their expenses had been heavy, of
course, but they had planned for that
And now
Which one of them silver bread
plates MN did you say for me to use?"
Anna had come in and was clearing,
off the table.
"Oh, yes, Anna, why that one-there
on the end of the sideboard. It's plain
er than the others and easier to keep
polished. I'll put the other two away in
the china closet. We don't need them
all out"
And then like a flash came the
thought-why not send Estelle one of
the silver bread plates! They had re-
ceived three as wedding presents.
They would never need them all.
She rushed over to the sideboard.
The one Warren's Uncle Joe had CIV
en- them! Fortunately it was not en-
graved. She would take it to silver
smiths at once and have it marked
with Estelle's initials.
Warren would be furious if he knew.
But he would never miss it. He need
never know.
And it wasn't wrong, she assured
herself, trying to silence an uneasy
conjunction. She had often heard of
people giving away their duplicate
wedding presents. She felt uncomfor-
table when she thought of how War
rem would view such a thing. But War
rem was unnecessarily strict about
many things-and besides he need

tie Miss Bookkeeper or little Miss
Cashier that there is any particular
allurement in the fate of these ladies
to make anyone else yearn to follow
in their footsteps
Also there is the other side of the
picture. Every normal woman wants
a husband, and home, and children of
her own, and the only way she can Sc
cure them is by marrying, and making
the sacrifices that marriage demands.
That is the price she has to pay, and
it is for her to decide whether she is
willing to give it.
A NEW MAN.
Of course, in time, this problem will
settle itself. In the process of evolu-
ton there will be developed a new
man to be the fitting mate of the new
woman, and he will look on all these
domestic questions with wiser eyes
than the man of the present day.
He will see that it is just as unfair
to ask a woman to give up the work
she has prepared herself to do, and

The demon, John Butler, with 1900

one of her suitors she would take.
Now, however, it isn't so much a
| question of the rival attractions OF
two men as it is of the man and his
| job, and when you see a pretty maiden
plucking at the petals of daisy she
is not saying with the poetical hero
inc, he loves me, he loves me not,
but she is asking the fates whether
she shall give up a good situation fol
a problematical husband.
Laugh not at her. Hers is a very real
dilemma that a man is spared Mar
riage does not cut him off from the
work he loves, the profession he has
fitted himself for, the success he is
beginning to attain, the money he is
earning. He just adds a wife and the
comforts of a home to all the other
good things he has. A wife is plus with
him.
But a husband is minus everything
/ except affection to the business and
professional woman. When she mar.
rics it's case OF all for love, and the
/ balance of things she cares for lost
She has to give up her business or
profession, or else carry it on in the
half-hearted style that means failure
She has TO sacrifice her independence
her ambition, her joy in the work that
she has prepared herself for, and that
was the breath of her life to do.
Give Up Work.
More than that. she has to give I'D
the line of work that she prefers, and
do the sort of work that she prob
ably doesn't like. for which she has
no natural aptitude, and in which she
is totally unskilled.
OF course it's the custom to ignore
these plain and simple facts, and to
rhapsodiZe over the joy of having your
own little home. But the expert and
highly paid stenographer or teacher,
who exchanges nice desk in office or
school room, and a fat pay envelope
for the drudgery of a kitchen. and the
soul narrowing experience of trying TO
get along on less than half of the mon
ey she has been accustomed to live
on, may be pardoned if she casts a few
regretful slances at her past estate.
Nor is it to be wondered at that the
working girl debates within herself
whether she shall exchange a perfect
ly good job for the doubtful happiness
OF matrimony. She visits around
among the young married women who
were her associates in store or office,
and she notes that this one is shabby;

At the Marriage of Their
Daughter Estelle
to
Mr.. William A. Carter
on
Thursday, Evening, September the 1st
Nineteen Hundred and Ten
AT Eight-Thirty O'clock
Helen read this with a cry of sur
price.
"Estelle Hartman is going to be
married." She handed the invitation
across the breakfast table to Warren.
''And to Will Carter!"
Warren chances at it and laid it
aside.

pretty decent sort of a chap, isn't he?
Yes, | suppose so-but not at all

Oh, Warren, how unkind!"
IT'S true, isn't it?'

"Oh, | wouldn't put it as strong as
that. l merely never fancied her

But why?" Refilling his empty cup
"She talks too much and doesn't al
ways tell the truth
Hitting At Her Failures"
Yes, she does talk a great DEAL"
Helen admitted. But | didn't know
she was untruthful,"
She exaggerates and tells things
always a little different from what
they are"
Helen flushed, uncomfortably con-
scious that she. too, had that failing
to some extent.
But, dear, all women exaggerate
and prevaricate more or less about
little things-they are not as exact
and literal as men,"
We'll, l have no tolerance for I'M
truthfulness in any form. There's no
excuse for it. If, as you say, most
women prevaricate-then | certainly
hope that you are an exception"
Helen crumbled her toast nervously
She knew that she was not an excep-
ton, that she was often far from truth
full in her statements. Never about
anything serious, but in harmless triv-
iRl ways she often resorted to the lit
tie evasions and subterfuges that are
the stock-in-trade of most women.
With Warren she tried always to be
exactly literal. She knew and feared
his stern disapproval of any deviation
from the truth. But she feared too,
that sooner or later she would forget
and unconsciously slip into some
slight falsehood or equivocation which
he would detect
And now anxious to change the sub
ject, she asked nervously:
What shall we get for wedding
present? You know Estelle and her
mother gave us that silver vase"
He frowned. The Hardmans are
wealthy-we can't afford anything so
expensive"
But we can't send anything cheap"
