Their Married Life

| 81 was told it cost four hundred"
He shook his head and examined it
under a glass.
why, isn't it real?" Helen leaned
forward anxiously. isn't that a real
pearl?"
The lining of an oyster shell is
real pearl he answered, quietly.
! There are countless grades of pearls.
An oriental pearl of this size and
color would be worth more than
$1,000, but this is just an ordinary
American pearl and has very little
value. The value here is in the set
ting and the workmanship. and we
can't loan much on that Fifty dol
lars is the most ! can give you on it,
Helen could hardly restrain a cry
of dismay.
| DO you wish to leave it?"
No. no, thank you." chicken Helen.
"Pll-I'll not leave it,
She took the car back home. now
almost as wretched as she had been
when she thought the pearl was lost.
She knew they would have to pay for
it, FOR Warren would never go back
on his word
When she reached the apartment,
Nora opened the door. her face still
beaming with pride at having been
the one to find the pearl
There's a letter for you on the
desk. miss she announced
Helen took it up listlessly. Then
she saw 1t was from Mrs. stevens.
Her tremulous fingers tore 1T open.
Dear Mrs. Curtis:
Il wonder If you will think me
very changeable and capricious
|. person when / say that. after all.
I'd like to keep the lavalliere my
| self. I've been thinking ii over
/ and wish now to have my dia-
amond pendant set into ring and
wear this as q lavalliere. Henry
is willing to get 1t for me. and he
! may not be again in SO generous
mood.
OF course IL your heart is set on
It. I wouldn't want to disappoint YOU
But I'm hoping you are still undecided
and that you won't mind letting me
keep it, I'll come by tomorrow MORN
ing. As ever,
EMIL STEVENS.
The varied emotions of the day had
been too much for Helen, and now she
sank Imply on the couch staring at
the letter.
| The wave of almost hysterial relief
was tempered by her anxiety for Mrs
Stevens. She must not let her buy
this She must tell her that it was
not worth what she thought
She went to the phone only to find
| that Mrs. Stevens was still out, and
that the maid did not expect her
until six.
/ 1t was a quarter of six when War
rem came, and Helen rushed to him
with the letter and her excited. happy
explanations.
Now you just FIRE that back and
say nothing. We can't be guardian to
everybody who wants to throw away
their money. We've had enough trou-
BILE with this darned thing without
getting into any further mixup.
/ But, dear, ! must tell her." per-
sisted Helen. Why, 1t wouldn't be
fair to let her buy 1t without telling
her"

TVT AS the note too short? Had she
w said enough? And would the
W tremulous writing betray her?
Helen was determined that Mrs. Ste
vens should not know she had lost the
pearl and that they were paving for
the pendant only because they could
not return it.
After a sleepless night she had been
up at dawn searching the apartment
for the pearl. She had eaten no break
fast, and even Warren had merely
slipped his coffee in glum. forbidding
silence.
He had told her to phone or write
Mrs. Stevens that he would send the
check.
No use putting it off" grimly.
-Since we've got to take our medicine
we'll take it now. But the next time
we've any business dealings with
friends"
Warren. we must be fair enough to
ADMIT it wasn't Mrs. Stevens fault
Helen faltered. "She was only giving
US an opportunity to buy it at the
price it had been offered to her. Sure
~. she's not to blame
To this Warren had not deigned an
answer
After he had gone. even though she
had a wretched sense of the futility
of her search. Helen kept on looking.
Again and again she examined the
pendant on which the pearl had hung
It must have been loose or it could
not have come off so easily.
In spite of herself, Helen was con-
scious Of a feeling of resentment to-
ward Mrs. Stevens and Of a positive
animosity toward Mrs. Barclay-the
woman who had sought to raise
money by selling her jewelry.
There seemed a wretched fatality to
the whole chain Of events. If only
they had not dined at the stevenses
last evening, or if Mrs. Barclay had
not left the jewel there that after
noon, oh. her head whirled with this
constant thinkingl
Reluctantly she mailed the letter
AS she saw the white envelope futter
down the glass chute in the hall Helen
knew it meant a hundred and fifty
dollars for nothing. For the platinum
setting, with it's tiny diamonds, was
worth very little compared to the
pearl
Warren had strongly doubted the
eenuineness Of the pearl; that was
why they were to have it valued to-
dav. Now he said they were paying
hundred and ffty dollars for fake
pearll
All morning Helen had been haunted
with the thought OF De Maupassant'
"The Necklace" In this story the
woman had lost her friends pearl
necklace, and for 20 years both she
and her husband shaved and starved
to save the money to pay for it. And

A New Model Ds'sg'Ssd gs or,s,ts

This little frock
of ~Bois de rose
duvetyn is one Of
the many founced
frocks that Paris
has just found so
charming.
Wood rose is a
charming color, and
the frock is very
fetching for a slen-
der figure. The
bodice is gathered
around the neck>in
great fullness and
fastens on the left
of the front.
A plat of the
material goes over
the shoulder and
hides the arnhole
of the half-htted
sleeve.
Neck and wrist
are finished in tiny
bands of beading.
And now for the
distinctive features
of the frock.
There is a draped
belt of wood brown
satin.
This fastens un-
der z large chou at
the center of the
waist in front, and
from this fastening
fall two wide ends
that are caught be-
tween the hounces
of the skirt and
tied tightly at the
end under a passe-
merterie ornament.
The skirt is plain
and round, and
draped a bit at the
back.
Around the hips
are four loose
Aounces, which
lengthen q bit at
the sack.
These Aounces
are not hSmned.

counties in the construction of perma-
nent highways, 1t is said by many
that he has good bill, and the hotel
men all over the state will be at the
Legislature in force to work for the
bill. The hotel men say they have no
automobiles to sell, no road machin-
cry to sell, and no paving material to
sell, but are selfishly interested in
permanent highways to connect the
centers Of population and let the
streams Of travel pour through the
state in some other way than rush
through in the night on an overland
train. SHETLAND is not a new hand at
such work, and the hotelmen will prob
ably have the right OF way with their
bill, as a cold-blooded business prop
osition for the opening up of the gold
en- fountain Of good roads that is
shoyering its blessings on other states.
The firece rivalry between the
friends Of Joe Teal and Will King for
the Pacific co st place in the Wilson
circle Of private advisers called the
cabinet may leave both stranded on
the shoals Of political rivalry. In that
event is is possible but not at all prob
able, that one Geo. r. Chamberlain
might be invited to wind up his polit-
ical career with portfolio. Coming
from the sunny South, and being true
representative Of the Pacific coast, his
appointment hight be a happy solu-
tion Of a strained situation that many
end in both the present aspirants from
the Webfoot state going to the polite
al boneyard. At present the most that
Teal and King can hope to get out of
the fight is a foreign appointment or
a place in the legal department of the
government. This would open a fine
opportunity for little poetic justice
in Oregon politics, which, Of course, Is
just as far-fetched and unlikely to
happen as the other. 1t would open
the way for Governor West to appoint
Bourne to go right on and
fill Chamberlains unexpired term, and
complete his great work Of pctting
through bill for national aid in the
construction of highways That is the
dream Of Senator Bourne's
life and he is the one man who can
put 1t over, and make a reality of what
has been the demand Of the grange
and the only local solution Of the high
way problem. But l am not expecting
that the most efficient man who ever
occupied the senate from Oregon shall
be kept in the harness for the welfare
D. the state and nation. It is only a |
pipe dream of an ex-edtor and impos-
iible of realization. Chamberlain will |
not be asked to go into the cabinet
West will not appoint Bourne, and |
Oregon will drop back into the um-
)ering gait of the oX-drawn vehicle,
through the mire of second
md third-rate politics.
