They had done a womanS work and
Il mans combined in the world.
Neither of them had asked any
handicaps for sex, and the scrim-
mage had been a tough one: tor
they had made their fight in a day
when the opportunities for women
were few. They were frankly old
now. They made no effort to conceal
the fact. But what a splendid thing
they made of sit In their presence
one realized that youth was not q
matter of the flesh, but of the mind
and the spirit.
Other women of their age, wno
had known nothing but sheltered
ease, were merely feeble, elderly
ladies'; but these two had lived so
intensely in big interests and en-
thusiasms that they radiated vitality
annd power.
They. like many correspondents of
eighty-odd years, had no time for
mournful reveries and recollections.

combat, namely the drink habit, he
mentioned Tescum and the wonderful
cures that had been effected through

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

said Helen. jumping up and rushing
out into the hall.
Mary had just opened the door and
admitted two men who carried a bar
rel between them. Warren followed
Helen out and paid for the express
age. His entire manner told very
plainly that he thought this some
new unnecessary extravaganza of
Helen's. Helen, who had been alb
sorbed with the arrival of the bar
rel had not noticed Warren's face
until she and Mary had turned to the
unpacking. then she caught his eX
preston and instantly wondered what
was wrong.
Whats the matter. dear?"
We'll what stuff is that you have
bought?"
why, it's the stuff you told me to
buy, You said yourself only week
ago that you were perfectly willing
for me to do it,"
Helen had lifted out several pieces
from the excelsior and Mary was un-
wrapping each piece.
How much does it come to?" War
rem grouled, suddenly recalling that
Helen had asked him about replac-
ing some of their cheaper ware. and
he had consented. The trouble was
that Helen did this frequently and
then when the bill came in the total
was always more than either of Them
had expected.
why. don't you know, dear?" Hell
en returned blankly.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-11-15

You don't know? Didn't you ask
them how much the things were?'
why no, 1 simply selected the
pieces we needed and had them sent
up. You remember when we bought
them, they were so terribly cheap.
L didn't think it was necessary to
ask the price of each piece"
We'll, that certainly is the limit"
warren exploded. ITO go down and
purchase barrel of china and not to
ask how much it cost"
Helen felt that Warren was right.
and 1t certainly sounded far worse
now than it had seemed to her when
she had selected it. Now it seemed
almost criminally careless but as she
said the china was inexpensive and
through friend they bought it
wholesale, and now that it was nee
essary to have some new pieces Helen
had simply not thought of asking
what the price of each was nor even
what the total was.
Did they send the bill with it?"
This must be it," said Helen lift
ing folded piece of paper from the
top and handing it over to Warren
without speaking. She was really
anxious for him to scan the bill and
then to admit that he had been un-
necessarily small about the matter
so certain was she that the entire
amount was too small to worry about
Warren opened it quickly and his
face grew blacker than ever.
What it is. dear?"
What is it? Just how much did
you expect this china to cost?"
why not more than ten dollars
for the lot"
This is a bill for twenty-nine."
But Warren, that's impossible.
We never paid that much in the be-
ginning"
We'll. that's what you've paid for
these"

to flirt with to-day.
How different from my elderly
corr, srondert or the women | have

too throbbing for them to waste any
thought on last years birdnests.
They have always kept themselves
up to the minute-whether that
minute was 1860, or one of the de-
cades which has since intervened
Just now they are as much 1917 as

MARY, it's tho same design as our
other. isn't it? Helen asked quickly.
Yes, ma'am."
Then they've gone up in price on
the china" Helen asserted
'And you didn't think to ask the
price,"
why no, dear, I didn't. / know
l should have, but 1 took for granted
the fact it was just our cheap china
and that it would be enough to both
er u.s."
Did You need all this stuff that
you've laid in?"
TWe needed it unless we wanted
to use some of our really good
dishes. I don't like to use the French
china every day."
Seems to me we might better have
done that than to have incurred a
bill like this. For my part l don't
intend to pay 1t. You can pack up
what we don't absolutely need and
they can go back"
Helen was about to protest at this,
and then realizing that Warren had
right to be provoked at her abso-
lutte lack of business application,
meekly said nothing.
You women have n good way of
appearing to keep down expenses"
he said scathingly; you buy thirty
dollars worth or cheap CHINA so that
you can save your good stuff and
then only haul out your good things
when company comes. That always
did seem ridiculous to me-
Don't you think, Warren. that you
ought to allow me something to say
about things of that kind?" Helen
said, trying to appear dignified, al
though she could not help feeling at
a disadvantage.
"Oh, you attend to it all right. and
1 foot the bills. After this find out
what thing costs before you have
it sent home, and for heavens sake
use a little of your good china to fill
out what we need after we send most
of this back"

ILife'sProblems

By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow.


When he was born there were
still more stage coaches than rail-
roads, more sailing vessels than
steamers. He has seen the inception
and development of all those Won
derful inventions and discoveries
which have practically transformed
The earth the telegraph, the tele-
phone. the automobile. the wireless,
the aeroplane. The world has rushed
on with giant strides, and yet he has
kept pace with it at every step. And
to-day at eighty-two he is an active
member of society-a current issue,
no back number bound in yesterdays
musty covers.
When he writes to me it is to touch
upon some timely topic of discussion,
a question of public manners or
behavior or some abuse of privilege
which he has noted in his Journey
ings to and fro. And his observations
are colored and enriched by his long
and valuable experience.
1t is to marvel at the fieXibiltiy
of the human mind when one sees
it thus adapt itself to circumstances
so utterly different from those of
its early association and environ
ment.
This man has seen America in the
making; he has first-hand know
ledge of the events of almost CEN
tur> tine gre2te@t century of pro-
gress in the history of the world.
No doubt when he was a boy he
heard heated discussions, on the
Missouri Compromise and the Dred
Scott decision. Abolition was a burn
ing question when he was in his
twenties. He has lived a thousand
lives in one.
But the great fact about him is
that his face is always set forward,
and he marches to the music of the
times. 1t is those who hesitate and
linger and look back who desiccate
and turn into pillars of salt.

The bread ration already Las been

that the longer tho reduction N'i'S
