Married Life, Third Year
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER

I Were too high up to see theil
faces" said Mrs. Stevens.
"Well. the father away you are thu
better they look Seems to me theye
march better If their skirts weren't SC
| tight"
Now, dear, you're not to say hor-
| ried things reproved Helen. Il,
really is a very wonderful parade
You can't help but be impressed with
their dignity and earneStness"
Il shouldn't say that woman IN q
red skirt was exactly dfgnified," said
Mr.. Stevens. what would you call
that-a strut?"
Look at this one over here" and
Warren pointed out an extremely
stout woman in an extremely tight
| black dress. "She waddles. French
heels, too! Can you beat n?'
Dear, don't think that's at all
funny and it's certainly not nice for
you to pick out things to rfdicuie.
Among 10000 women some OF them
may dress inappropriately, but that
doesn't affect the cause they're march
ing for"
Thirty thousand?" warrens tone
was skeptical. '1'1I wager there won't
be ten. And why don't they have
more bands? That's the only part of
any parade that's worth while. All,
here we have the real thing!"
A band had burst into a lively air
just as it came in sight. Leading it
was a strutting, gold laced, drum
major, twirling his baton.
Hes great" grinned Warren "Pve
always been partial to drum majors
nothing. Wish he'd drop that thing.
I'd like to see him scurry after it."
But the drum major gradually
flourished and tossed his baton with
out mishap and warren's desire to see
his dignity upset was not gratified
wonder how long they can tie mp
these side streets?'' asked Mr.. Stew
ems. Just look over there
AS Mr.. Stevens Office was in a cor
ner building, they could see up the
cross street which was damned with
stalled traffic. But no one seemed to
mind the delay. People were stand
ing up in their cars, and some had
climbed on the limousine tops and

There's a sensible fellow War

and Helen leaned forward eagerly.
There's vassar and Bryn Mawr,-

could read them. Don't they march |
we1l?"
Here come the Sutherland Sisters" |
scoffed Warren, as a group OF young |
dressed as flower girls with
long, flowing hair, marched by.
Well. they look a lot better with |
put hats" commenced Mr.. Stevens. |
From the way most women wear |
their hats jammed down over their
head. you'd think they hadn't any |
