offensive is showing increased power auA

German west hank that reaches FROM

The official announcements show that
the offensive, which is now general and
covers tho entire neld Of operations from
the Belgian s"lcoast 10 the Alsatian plain.
Is producing not merely series Of widely
separated and uncOnnected successes but
Is hainmcring back both the east and west
wings OF the German army. Only the
centre, which stretches from Craonne
( north OF Rheims 10 the Argonne, holds
its ground, but In this section of the bat
tie front the French artillery is showing
/ manifest superiority and the withdrawal
Of the centre waits only on the thorough
defeat Of the wings.
The movement northeast from Arras
commented on by to-night's official re-
port, seems peculiarly significant. in that
the Germans had concentrated very
heavily in this region and were pre-
pairing 10 attempt there what they had
failed to do at Ypres-break the all led
lines. Instead, the Allies. TOR the first
time in many weeks. drove home an attack
that gained much ground ana put a heavy

may be the preliminary stroke o. a deter
mined attempt TO cut the German line Of
communications stretching through Va

Instantly the lights flashed on and
as the audience half rose with a gasp a

Surg. Gen. Blue gave out the informa-
tion as If an anxious world were not

With one fell statement, SO to speak, he
divulged news that yet may send thou
sands of happy victims back to work;
where for the past years they have
leaped lightly from climate to climate
in the pretended hope of curing their
disease. Apparently without serious

the year necessitate a cut OF three pages
in a given issue of any funny magazine
and stop high winds caused by sneezing
and that sonorous noise which results

could not be treated with vaccine, because
there are so many germs that cause colds
that it would be necessary to mix thou

No diagram was furnished.
Another woman rose and protested
against the manner in which the char
tiles gave away boxes of grub" The
first woman, by the way, had charged
the charities with not furnishing food.

Speakers at the meeting asked Mr..

| She was furious with herself, furious
with him, and above all furious with
Emma for being the indirect cause
of it all.
She was in bed, her arm over her
eyes to shade them from the light,
when Warren came in.
"Still sulking" one of his shoes
dropped heavily.
Helen did not answer, and her lace
/ frilled sleeve shaded her face.
When he had taken his bath, he
threw up the windows and turned off
the lights. Still Helen lay motion
less; she had not stirred.
Thinking about that grapefruit
she's going to eat tomorrow" jeer-
ingly, as he got into bed.
Helen could have shrieked. In
stead she bit her lips, and angry tears
wet the sleeve OF her .ightdress.
Warren gave his pillow a punch, set
tied it under his head, drew the bed
clothes around his shoulders and was
soon doing off.
But for Helen, who had worked
| herself up to a state of feverish
brooding, sleep was impossible. 1t
had been an unhappy and humiliating
evening-and it was all Emma's
fault. Her resentment against the
girl deepened every moment.
What was that? Raising herself on
her elbow, Helen listened tensely. A
faint, scratching sound! 1t was Pussy
Purr-Mew-shut up somewhere.
Hurriedly Helen got up and began
shivering search. The hall closet,
the closet in her dressing-room, her
bureau drawers-for Pussy Purr-Mew
had a troublesome habit of creeping
any place that was left open. Again
the scratching-it was from the dim
ing-room.
Helen darted straight to the china
closet. When she opened the door a
fur-ruffled kitten leaped out from the
lower shelf As she stopped to
smooth the rumpled table cloths,
Helen saw something on the shelf
above that made her gasp.
1t was the grape jelly-just as
Emma had taken it from the table at
dinner! So she had not touche, it!
She had sensed Helen's displeasure
at there being none left from the
night before, and had purposely not
even take it out to the kitchen.
| Unheeding the cold, Helen, in only
her thin nightdress, for a long time
crouched there on the floor; while
Pussy Purr-Mew, grateful for her re-
lease, purred exuberantly but unno-
ticed against her.
At least in this she had been
wrong! She pictured Emma's hurt
surprise in the morning when she
found the jelly locked up. 1t was a
reflection on her honesty, which, af-
ter all, Helen had no real reason to
doubt.
When she arose, stiff with cold, it
was not to go back to bed, but to get
the key of the locked cupboard. Tip
toing out to the kitchen, stealthily she
drew the chair before the refriger-
ator. In the dead silence it creaked
alarmingly as she climbed up to the
shelves.
1t was a cold, shivering task, but
she got the jelly back to its accus-
toned cupboard. Then, numb with
cold, she crcpt back to bed
"Eh, what's that" muttered War
rem, half aroused by the sudden chill
as Helen cuddled against him for
warmth.
Dear, II was wrong about that
Jelly. Emma hadn't touched tit
was in the china closet And IL un-
locked the rest and put it back"
But apparently Warren was too
drowsy to grasp the full .,urport OF
this, for his only comment was the
mumbled, meaningless phrase, Well
Observation-Disclosures"

Secular League Folk
Against Charity Idea
Secretary Uford Tells Them Of Associated Charities Plans
and Members Declaim Their Opposition Hates
Boxes of Grub" System in Vogue.

A group Of professional ants dissected
the Associated Charities, urged its
abolition and criticised its work at
meeting of the Secular League yester
day while Walter S. Ufford. general
secretary of the charities, who had fin
ished an address, listened.
The ants were generous in their ap-
plause Of each other. although their
views differed somewhat. Everything
from VOLUNTEER workers to socialism,
employers liability and unemployment
insurance was urged as the infallible
cure for poverty.
Mr.. Ufford spoke of the work done by
the Associated Charities. When he had
finished, the meeting, as is the custom,
The Washington herald., 1914-12-14

must be from the dining-room. Wait,
dear, I'll see"
1t was the kitchen window that
was up, and the pantry door open.
Turning on the light, Helen put down
the window, and then glanced around.
Everything had been left in spot
less order. Emma had washed out
all the tea towels, and even put a
fresh hand towel on the roller.
Helen looked into the ice box. 1t
was clean and sweet-smelling. And
the girl was certainly saving. There
was the bit of spinach left from din
ner and a spoonful of mashed pota-
toes. But where was the jelly?
With increasing indignation, Helen
searched through the ice box and
pantry. She had noticed particularly
that over half the glass had been
left.
And tfiey had so little jelly, only
what was left over from last year,
for they had been away all fall and
it was now too late for any fruit.
DrAgging forward the stepladder
chair, Helen climbed up to the jelly
shelf. There were only nine glasses
of currant and fourteen Of grape. If
the girl was so inordinately fond of
jelly, might she not occasionally open a
glass for herself?
Over the refrigerator was a glass
doored cupboard that could be lock-
ed. In a fash Helen decided that
was the place for the jelly.
Even those high shelves had been
freshly washed and lined with paper,
e e
industry failed to impress her.
Hello, what in blazes are you
doing up there?" Warren, his hands
in his pockets, stood at the pantry
door staring up at her.
I'm putting this jelly where 1
can lock it up" steadying herself on
the stepladder. There wasn't a
spoonful left of that glass we had at
dinner. IFS outrageous I never
heard of a girl having the presump-
ton to eat jelly like that"
Look out, there-you1l fall! I'd
rather pay for a few glasses of jelly
than a doctors bill for broken leg"
"There!" as Helen locked the door
and climbed down. Now do you
know what I'm going to do? I'm
only going to order ONE grapefruit
a dayT'
"Well, if you don't want the girl
to have grapefruit-Td rather tell
her than do a thing like that. Jove,
you can be mighty small"
Warren, I'm not SMALL" passion
ately. That's what you always say
because you know it hurts me. Do
you think your mother or Carrie
would furnish three-for-a-Quarter
grapefruit to any maid? You know
they're more strict in such things
than 1 ever could bel You always
said l was too good to Nora-that /
let her run over me-.
$50 you did. But now that you've
got a girl worth six of her-youre
sore about what she eats. You've
got no sense of proportion. that's the
trouble with you. You get hipped on
one idea, and you can't see anything
else What's the matter-pinch your
finger"
Exasperated, Helen had turned
back the stepladder with a rcsentful
jerk and had caught her finger at the
most painful part of the nail. Brush
ing by Warren, she ran to Il bath
room, where she bathed the bruised
nail in witch hazel and nursed her
aggrieved sense of injury.
1t was after 10. Too hurt and in
dignant to go back to the library, she
turned on her bath and began brood
ingly to undress.
Why did Warren always try to
make her feel small and mercenary?
