MARRIED LIFE THE FIRST YEAR
Advice from a Neighbor.
By Mabel Herbert Urner.

/ suppose well have to do it our
selves. rs so hard tc make this
landlord do anything! But l guess
you ge found that out"
why, no, I thought they were
rather obliging."
ooh, you're new tenants. Walt
until you've been here a year or so.
We were the first people in the
building-leased our apartment be-
fore it was finished. You'd think
that would make them favor us, but
it's Just the other way. The new
tenants are the ones that are always
catered to. But we stay because we
like the apartments. You cant get
six rooms and bath like these any
where else for $1,000. | presume
that's what you pay? All these front
ones are supposed to rent for that. .
Helen recognized this as a clever
ruse to find out the amount of their
rent; so she answered evasively:
IT believe 1t Is something like that.
Mr.. Curtis signed the lease before we
were married, so / really know very
little about it."
well, it's 4 very good house. The
neighborhood is good, convenient to
the subway, and most OF the tenants
are very desirable. OF course there
are always some that are not quite
what you would wish. l suppose
you've heard of Mrs. Trainor on the
third f1oor?"
Helen shook her head. She knew
this was gossip and she ought to dis
courage it--and yet she felt certain
guilty interest.
Her husband drinks. Comes home
late almost every other night, and so
intoxicated the boy has to help him
in the elevator. And then there's
always a scene. You may be up too
high, but from my court bedroom you
can hear them quarreling. He swears
at her and she always cries"
Poor thingi" murmured Helen.
well. they say it's partly her
fault. she used TO be always playing
bri6ge-never came home in time to
get his dinner-so he got to dining
downtown. That's the way so many
of them do" and she looked at Helen
rather searchingly.
1t was almost ten when she rose
to 60.
pose Mr.. Curtis will be here In a few
moments now"
"Oh, yes" murmured Helen, hell
be here in a few moments.
We'll. my lear, take the advice
of an older woman. and don't let him
stay out too often and too late, she
laughed. Its not good for these
young husbands, you know"
Helen closed the door after her
with burning cheeks. Why lad she
said that? Was 1t only a casual re-
mark or had 1t more significance?
Did she know Warren had been out a
good deal lately? Had she heard
that, too, from the elevator boy?
A sense of great resentment, Of
bitterness, rose within her. Was she
not finding married life difficult
enough? Must she contend, too, with
petty gossip? Was that also to be
added to her difficulties?

Cotton Fancies.
With the movement started by
Gertrude Atherton-the distlng
uished novelis.-and many other
women as prominent, for the
wearing of cotton fabrics. there
has come a decided revival of
cotton fashions. Cotton shirt
waists with valenciennes trim
mings and dainty touches of en-
broidery are back in favor for
suit wear, and fancy silk and cot
ton mixtures and mercerized cot
tons are increasingly worn fol
dainty indoor use, even for in
| formal dances and dinner gowns.
AS such garments are readily
made at home at very small cost,
the movement meets with favor
not only from people who wisI
to aid the cotton growers, bu'
| from those who are always OF
the lookout to combine economy
with smartness of attire. Pret

The Story of the Buckeye
Corn Special Tour.


gotten by that army Of Ohio
youth and admiring seniors who
constituted the Buckeye Corn
Special party. A realization OF
the true significance of the ex-
perience is beginning to dawn.
The 1914 Buckeye Corn Special
Tour has contributed a red letter
page to the civic and educational
history of Ohio-a page which is
destined.to prove an inspiration
to Ohio youth for years to come.
Judicious advertising pays.
This tour advel tised the fertility
of Ohio soil and the ability of our
boys and girls. The citizens of
Washington, Philadelphia and
New York were made to sit up
and realize the truth of the par
ty's slogan, "The Rainbow Comes
Down in Ohio"
The 1914 Buckeye Corn Special
Tour was a great undertaking
splendid!y executed. 1t involved
the moving of an army of raw
material, numbering over thou
sand, a distance of 1735 miles by
rail. That's a job worthy of a
general of the first rank.
Besides, there were miles and
miles of sightseeing by automo-
biles, subway trains, elevated
trains, boats and afoot. Busy
thoroughfares were traversed.
Yet no accident or unpleasant In
cident mars the record.
Only two cases of illness are re-
ported and the doctors diagnos-
es establishes the fact that both
cases were in process before the.
subjects boarded the Buckeye
Corn Special. Miss Hazel HES
tand of Nevada had been indis-
posed for several weeks before
the start and upon the advice of
party physician, did not proceed
beyond Washington. Mrs. jose
phine L. Nesbitt, the chief mat
ron to the party, remained in
Washington with Miss Hiestand.
Word has been received that the
patient has fully recovered. Mrs.
Nesbitt will accompany Miss HE
stand to her home at Nevada.
The other case was more seri-
GUS. In Philadelphia, Miss Ella
Stephenson of Eaton was taken
suddenly i'll. The house physi-
clan of the Belleyue-S Stratford Ho-
tel pronounced it appendicitis.
Mr.. Riddle, the director of the
tour, called into consultation a
Pennsylvania R. r. physician and
he confirmed the diagnosis of the
first physician. An immediate
operation was recommended. The
parents were telegraphed. Nc
response was received. The doc
tor stated that delay of a few
hours might prove fatal. It was
a trying situation for those in
charge of theparty. Finally, Mr.
Riddle assumed responsibility
and instructed that the patient
be moved Immediately to one Of
the best hospitals in Philadelphia

tested the appreciation. Their
came a moment when applause
failed. Charles S. Calwell, Pre-.
sident of the Corn Exchange Ma
tional Bank, arose and announc-
ed the awards inthe corn exhibit
promoted by his bank for the
benefit of our Ohio boys. At the
close, this big, busy, thoughtful
man turned to the audience and
said, II am profoundly sorry to
learn that one of your number is
i'll and that the doctors have ad-
vised a surgical operation as ne
cessary for her recovery. Phil
adelphia will care for her. She
will have the best care possible
and when she has sufficiently re-
covered, we will send her back
to Ohio to you." There was no
applause. Tears were seen in
many eyes. The spirit of broth
erhood had been revealed. Phil
adelphia has become endeared
for eternity to every member of
that party.
New York is the metropolis of
the Western Hemisphere. Its
population exceeds the popula-
ton of the entire state of Ohio.
It is the worlds greatest center
Of wealth and power. Yet, New
York considered the Buckeye
Corn Special party of sufficient
Importance to accord it a public
reception. Its leading citizens
participated. Nothing like this
has happened before anywhere
in the world. 1t is significant.
It constituted a handshake be-
tween producer and consumer.
It was an acknowledgement of
the nter-dependence-the recip-
rocal relation-of farm and city.
It bespeaks a closer relationship
and a better understanding In
the future.

| Official section OF the Buckeye
Corn Special was held up in Phil
adeIphia four hours awaiting the
officials of the party who were at
the hospital awaiting the out
come. The operation was highly
successful and a speedy recov-
cry is predicted. Miss Stephen
son, who was the winner in the
domestic science contest in Pre-
BILE county. bad been suffering
with pains in her side for two
weeks before starting on the
trip. The doctors and the nurses
at the hospital stated that it was
an advanced and dangerous case
of appendicitis and that if the
patient had not received prompt
and efficient attention it would
have proven fatal. Ella Steph-
enson comes from a small town
and a humble home and the chan
ces are ten to one that had she
remained at home her life would
have been forfeited. Mrs. T. P.
Riddle, the wife Of the director
of the tour, remained in Phila-
delphia to care for the patient
until she became able to return
home.
The President of the United
States threw open the doors of
the White House to the party and
greeted each member with a |
hearty handshake. The Boys
Band of Gallon presented him
with a pair of white doves-a to-
ken of the party's admiration of
his peace policy.
Tuesday afternoon the party
journeyed by boat down the Po-
toroac to Mount Vernon, the home
and tomb of Washington, the Fa-
ther of our Country. There in
shadows of that vine-covered,
unassuming red brick tomb,
where rest the mortal remains of
our first president, U. S. Senator
AtIee Pomerene Of Ohio, by a
memorable speech, aroused un-
bounded patriotic expression.
Hon. David Houston, Secreta-
ry U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, extended the representa-
tives of Ohio's agricultural in
terests a cordial greeting by a
speech of inspiring commenda-
ton and advice, delivered from
the steps of the Agricultural ad-
ministratiou building, Wednes-
day morning.
That evening, in Memorial Con-
tinental Hall, Secretary Of State
W. J. Bryan caught the spirit of
the occasion and delivered one of
his matchless addresses. When
the Buckeye Corn Special party
pulled out Of Washington that
night, every member carried a.
way a higher and nobler regard
for our great national govern
ment.
