Washington, Dec. 14.-Mrs. Gait
has had her last fittings of trousseau
gowns. They were brought from New
York and have been approved and ac-
cepted. The wedding gown is of anne
thyst chiffon velvet, made according
to Mrs. Galt's instructions. The hat,
feathers, gloves and suede shoes all
match perfectly and are we'll suited to
her favorite orchids, which she has
worn almost every day since her en-
gagement was announced.
Although no hint can be obtained
either from Mrs. Gait or the White

perform the ceremony. The Episco-

AA1oMen tSg!s. sg2 .lnreRe8 rs
Their Married Life

Warren had never referred to the
incident at the office. Helen had eX-
pected him to fume when he met her
for lunch. but he had said nothing
until the end of the meal and had
then vouchsafed the remark that Miss
Evans was leaving at the end of the
month. Helen made no reply and the
subject had been dropped.
Strange to say, Helen felt happier
after this. Warren slipped back TO
his old ways and she, realizing that
she would never be happy in an up-
heaval of family ties and relations,
accepted the fact and decided to think
no more about it. Helen knew that
some women would have refused to
forgive. She knew that If Louise had
experienced the same thing she would
have been different in her treatment
of Bob.
She knew that Frances Knowles
would never love again where her
pride had been so trailed in the dust,
but she was clever enough to realize
that she (Helen) was of different
caliber.
She could not take any stand against
her husband, for her personality was
of the type that suffers much and en-
dures much that life may slip on in
the accustomed way. What maddened
her was the fact that other women
who were more dynamic might fight
against humiliation, but that she
would always be the peacemaker.
Helen did not realize that nearly all
wives patch up family discords in this
same way.
In the midst Of Helen's adjustment
of herself to fate the Bells invited a
number of friends to an affair at their
bungalow on Long Island. Warren re-
ceived the invitation with genuine
pleasure and the fact that 1t was to be
Il oil 70 ffe,,
I'VE ought to have barrel of fun,
said Warren as Helen read the letter
aloud at the breakfast table.
''It will be fun" she said with shin
ing eyes. What do you think you will
represent, dear"
Warren Enters Into the Spirit of the
Thing
1t was the first time that they had
seemed easy in their treatment and
Warren, for a wonder, responded and
replied, almost boyishly:
"Oh, something foolish. The more
foolish the better"
II think shall go as a man." Helen
old gondolier costume that you had
long ago for that AFFAIR.""
Yes, but why go as man when
there are so many other things you
might be and still be woman?"
What part do you object to, the
trousers?" said Helen laughingly. II
might go as a Turkish woman and still
wear trousers. but that would cost a
lot of money. and l have this suit right
in the house.
Il might wear 1t. instead
why don't you go as a girl. dear?''
Nothing doing; I'll feel like a fool.
But you just said the more foolish
the better. and Mrs Bell has some
wild idea up her sleeve about what her
husband is going to be. Let me find it
and I'll read it to you"
Helen whirled the sheets rapidly,
and finally came to the part about the
costumes.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-12-14

Il shall have a friend visiting me-"
the letter ran, 'and we are going as
twins. Mr.. Bell is going to be the hit
of the evening; his makeup alone is
the most hideous thing that you could
ever imagine. We think we shall call
thing that suits it at all"
Doesn't that sound funny?" said
Helen, looking up brightly.
AS a general rule Warren would
have hailed this stuff as nonsense, but
he was actually grinning appre-
ciatively.
Imagine Bell in a rig of that kind"
he said. 'All right-if you think you
can rig me up as a kid, I'm game"
why, of course we can manage a
costume. You can wear one of my
loose gowns caught up with a sash,
and you must wear socks, Warren"
"Socks! exploded Warren; what
for?"
why, because, dear, it will make
the costume twice as funny. I'll get a
wig for you and We'll tie a huge bow
in your hair You will be simply great
as little girl"
They Are Asked to Spend the Night
1--WE ought to have a pile of fun, p"
said Warren, laughing at the prospect.
Anyway, can't look worse than Bell,
and he gets embarrassed lots easier
than do"
Let me read you some more" said
Helen eagerly.
I'VE are fixing up rathekeller in
the basement, and we are going to
have band and all kinds of things.
You and Mr.. Curtis must come for
dinner that night and plan to stay
over night. of course"
That's nice of them" interrupted
Warren.
"They are the incest people"
Yes, l always liked them, said
Warren, folding up his paper and pre-
pairing to leave What are you go
ing to do this afternoon" he ques-
toned suddenly.
"This afternoon-why, it's Saturday,
isn't it? Well, I have promised Wini-
fred to take her to the Natural His
gone to school she has clamored to be
taken. Evidently they have talked
about it before her.
Couldn't take her to a better place;
but why not let Mary take her? We
haven't spent Saturday afternoon
together in a long time now
You never could spare the time,
dear
well, I'm going to take the time
after this, like | did a couple of years
back. I'll get tickets for the theater
and We'll have dinner out somewhere.
Let's make a day of it. DO you want
to call for me at the office? Dress
up your best now, and I'll be proud OF
you" and then, as though ashamed of
saying anything that might be re-
garded as sentimental, he went out of
the room.
Don't forget your muff1er," Helen
sang out, her cheeks burning and her
eyes bright; its cold this morning"
About one--forty-f is early
enough, isn't it?" And then, as the
door closed, she clasped her hands to-
gether impulsively. Warren did care
for her; she could forgive anything
now that she was sure of that.

Mummers' Parade Will Be
up to Snuff" This Year

Preparations are going merrily on
for the New Years Day pageant in
which the Mummers' association of this
city will entertain thousands of people
from Harrisburg and the surrounding
country. The contributions to swell
the fund of $1,000 for prizes are in
creasing, and nearly one-half that
amount has been raised already. Thir-
ty-one organizations and some zoo or
more individuals have entered and
more are expected. A special invita-
ton has been sent to the high schools,
urging them to enter the pageant, and
1t is very possible that a scholastic
prize may be offered among others.
Clarence o. Backenstoss, corre-
spending secretary, has been author
lied to get in touch with several Phil
adelphia clubs and invite them to par
ticipate in the big parade. There will
be a meeting Wednesday night at po-
lice headquarters to further discuss

MAY NOT PLACE LINCOLN
FEEDER SIGNS TILL SPRING

morning precludes any possibility of
finishing the marking of the Lincoln
Highway feeders between Carlisle and
Chambersburg. Clyde Myton, presi-
dent of the Motor Club of Harrisburg,
stated this morning that the club had
taken care to complete the marking
between this city and Lancaster, and
between this city and Gettysburg, and
also from Harrisburg to Carlisle, but
that he was counting on the cooper
alton of the Shippensburg authorities
to finish up the work between Carlisle
and Chambersburg. They have not
done anything as yet, and the chances
are that the work will be left over
until Spring. The Motor Club has done
very well with the marking, and Har-
rlsburg is now inseparably linked up
with the Lincoln Highway.

Girls With Beautiful Faces or
Graceful Figures.

American girls have a worldwide
reputation for beauty, but, at the same
time, there are girls in Pennsylvania
who possess neither beauty of face nor
form because in these instances they
suffer from nervousness, the result of
disorders of the womanly organism.
At regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them !;
they are so prostrated that it takes
days for them to recover their strength.
OF course, such periodic distress has
its bad effect on the nervous system.
The withered and drawn faces, the
dark circles and crows feet about the
eyes, the straight figure without those
curves which lend so much to feminine
beauty are the unmistakable signs Of
womanly disorders.

Mr.. Zeil said in Philadelphia and
Baltimore he found excellent traffic
regulations, and would endeavor to
have some of them introduced in the
local department. He was of the opin-
ion that here is unnecessary
congestion of traffic at certain hours,
and that one way thoroughfares
should be provided.

Seam AHolCGncc) One-Piece Gown,
"a to 42 bust.
This Is an exceedingly attractive, smart
model and the combination of velvet with
the serge braided with soutache is excep-
tionally charming and at the same time,
the gown is very simple one to make.
The skirt is full and gathered at the
front and sides and joined to the under
bodice; the over-bodice hangs free at the
front and is cut in one with the skirt at
the back. There are belt-like extensions
on the front of the over-bodfce that pass
under the arms and beneath the back
edges to be buttoned into place. The
materials shown here are in the very
height of style and in every way de-
sirable, but any two that make a good
contrast can be used, or, the gownp can
I've made of one material throughout, or
with over-bodice and skirt of one material
and the under-bodice only of another, as
faille silk with Georgette crepe or velvet
with crepe OF taffeta with chiffon. The
pattern gives both the seams and the
basting line and is so simple that any
amateur can follow it, while the fines are
the newest and best.
To make as illustrated will be needed,
al yds. of material go in. wide, yds.
a., for the underbodice and skirt; 5M
yds. 36 in wide, 4 yds. a. for the back Of

.KEHOE SAYS HE'LL
SPRING SURPRISE
Hints 1t Will be Augmented by
Wide Open Exposure of Ex-
else Commissioners.

Former Recorder Henry W. Ke-
hoes trump card to be played in sup
port of his excise grating charges
within the next week or two, will
come as a huge surprise he declares.
Just what the nature of this trump
card was, Mr.. Kehoe refused to di-
vulge when seen. He would only
repeat that zone big surprise" was
coming soon. From other sources it
appears that statements and aff1da-
Wits, which it is alleged Mr.. Kehoe
has in his possession, will be aug
mented with wide open exposure
by one of the excise commissioners.
Almost throughout the history of
five-member excise boards in this
city, they have been ruled by cliques
of three members. 1t apears, accord
ing to evidence alleged to be in the
hands of Mr.. Kehoe, that thep resent
board. like most others, has been OPP
Grated by one clique of three mem
bers, The membership of this clique
appears to have been changed at
times, as disputes arose. Some of
the evidence which it as alleged Mr..
Kehoe has, is declared to show that
two members form the controlling
clique at present. Who the third
man is, no one has ventured to state
with a degree of certainty, but ac-
sumptions and beliefs have been ex-
pressed.

New Brunswick, Sept. 11:-Real-
izing the need of better communica-
tion between the two leading cities
In Central New Jersey, the Public
Service Railway Company will short
ly take steps to put into operation a
fast line schedule between Perth
Amboy and New Brunswick. The
route, if the plans mature, will be
over the tracks now used by the
New Brunswick-Perth Amboy troll
leys, with the exception of "cut-
Off of Metuchen, running on the
fast line tracks between Bonham-
>boy road, thus doing away with the
roundabout way through Metuchen.
The proposition was discussed briefly
yesterday by Col. Howard G. Gill
-mour, of the Public Service, and the
Board of Freeholders. Col. Gilmour
desires permission from the free
holders to lay a switch on the Me-
tuchen-Perth Amboy road, at the
junction of the Middlesex line and
the fast line tracks. This will en-
able the New Brunswick-Pe Am
boy trolleys to "cut in" on the fast
line tracks at that point
If the proposition is carried into
effect it would reduce the running
time between the two cities by many
minutes. 1t would not alter the
Middlesex lines schedule, in all
probability, because Metuchen pro-
vides many passengers for the Pub
{ lie Service. An agitation for mail
&sryice on the proposed line is next
,ii order. -. 80
