"When a Girl M0rrieS"

ite table on the Avenue side, so 1
came early. Being seen in the
right places will help us back into
the position in society that belongs
to the Harrisons."
AS followed Virginia to our
well-chosen table by the window
1 reflected intolerantly that social
position was all-important to Vir-
ginia, and in another minute 1
recognized how much she'd pay for
it. For, as soon as we had ordered,
she settled back in her chair and
said complacently:
"It was nice of Evelyn Mason to
ask Phoebe to receive at her tea.
I'd like the child to be a brides
maid. It's such a smart way for
the right people to get their first
glimpse of a girl. And by the win
ter / hope We'll be in a position to
launch her formally"
Virginia" 1 cried, startled into
brusqueness, "surely You aren't
going to let Envy Mason twist you
| around her little finger like this!"
Virginia's face paled, and she
turned to me with the arrogance 1
had almost forgotten:
What do you mean, Anne? Sure
ly not to be as-offensive as you
sound?"
"Oh, Jeanie, I'm sorry!" I apollo
gized. II didn't intend to be Of
fensive. Only to startle you awake.
I'm sure Phoebe and Neal care for
each other. And-even if Evelyn
Mason forces Neal to go through
with this marriage into which she
trapped him, we don't have to let
her bake her triumph complete by
dragging Phoebe after her chariot
wheels"
VERY literary - and melodra-
matte, Anne" smiled Virginia toler-
antly. But I'm a practical person.
You know l never approved of that
boy and girl affair, and now that
it's decently over, l don't see why
Phoebe should be deprived of the
social advantages of being one of
Evelyn's attendants. / don't like the
girl-you know that perfectly we'll
But she belongs to one of our old
est families and all the smartest
people will be on the invitation
list"
But, Virginia" I protested at
loss to comprehend her point of
view, don't you see how cruel it
will be for Phoebe to see them to-
gether-and to let other people be-
hold her mistery?"
The smile Virginia turned to me
IL IA
we spoke different languages.
Dear Anne - try to understand.
1t will be good training for Phoebe
to see them together as you put it.
If she has any lingering nonsensical
ideas about the boy, her pride will
help her Danish them at once. And
she will gain in poise and in So
cial ease. Don't look at me so
pitifully, as if you thought me hard
and cruel. I'm thinking of Phoebes s
own good"
Then I leaned back in my chair
and shot my bolt.
Virginia, you won't go to that
reception-nor let Phoebe when I
tell you about Neal" l said grimly,
inviting Virginia's everlasting dis
like of my brother because this was
the only weapon l had to use for
Phoebe's defense. He's in a sort
of partnership-with Pat Dalton
and Carlotta Sturges. I suppose
you had to know some time. But,

But I didn't utter a syllable of
Is. What good would it have done
20 throw down the gauntlet like
that? For If I had, Envy would
probably have maneuvered Neal
INTO a position where his boyish
rashness and chivalry might have
caused him to elope with her to-
morrow.

of speaking out 1 said this in

Silver gray-tha. might do for
me. Well, 1 haven't time to stand
discussing color effects. 1 have a
luncheon engagement and must run

"A luncheon engagement

you to come with me! l thought
we'd phone Neal and Jimmie-or
Tom, if you prefer. Now don't try
to persuade Madame to give you
the gray and switch the orange to
Val Cosby and the flesh to Phoebe.
She takes her orders from me, and
1 hate the obvious. Later you'll
see how clever 1 was in my choice

of my truthful reply. See you
Saturday at seven, Envy. SO long"
Then 1 dashed off, thanking the
kind fates that had inspired me to
make a luncheon engagement with
Virginia when l telephoned in my
vain effort to speak to Phoebe sew
eral hours before.
For weeks 1 have been avoiding
n tete-a-tete with Virginia. Ever
since the day when I heard of the
forming of the Dalton -Sturges
Realty Corporation and Meals con-
nection with it, I've been mentally
sidestepping a discussion of it with
Virginia. 1t would hurt her. 1t
must. Besides, it would be the one
bit of fuel needed to make her dis
like of Neal leap into an active
blaze. I wanted to keep it from
Virginia. 1 didn't even want to
get into a position where she
might reac discriminating knowl-
edge in my eyes.
But now, as l set out eagerly for
my appointment, 1 realized what a
relief Virginia would be after my
hour with Envy. When l arrived
at the smart restaurant Virginia
had designated as our meeting
place, 1 found her already there.

THE LOVE GAMBLER

And she certainly would not voice
her suspicious to Desiree. 1t would
not be fair. If the chap was trying
to lead a decent straight life, she
would not intimate that he had ever
done anything else.
Perhaps drink had been his un-

penalty of his errors. She mad once

Wooden SOIeS Are Much
Better Than is Leather

The scarcity of leather i'll Swift
zerland and its almost prohibitive
price have brought wooden soled
shoes into use quite generally as a
substitute. Even before the war
some wooden soled shoes were worn
although the sabot such as was
common in France and Belgium was
not at all popular.
The progress of the war has led
to the establishment of extensive
factories engaged in the production
of wooden soled shoes by a series
of machines constructed especially
for the purpose.
The wooden soles are better non
conductors than leather, and conse-
quently keep the feet dry and warm.
If we ignore fashion and prejudice.
there are a number of reasons which
recommend their use. In many fac
tories in Switzerland they are graz
tuitously supplied by employers. it

SHOPMEN ASK

ing on Petition for Increase
of About Is Per Cent
in Wages.

Washington, March 8.-SeveraI
hundred thousand railroad shop EN-.
ployes have asked the railroad ad.
ministration to increase their wages
about 25 per cent. The board oil
railroad wages and working condi.
tions has agreed to hear their case
Wednesday.
The shop trade employees who
were given one wage advance last
year, in addition to the general in
crease in pay, now ask that the
basic rate per hour be changed
from 6S cents to IS cents for trained
employees with proportionate raises
for assistants and helpers. This
would make the rate for second
class workmen about 90 cents per
hour.
The application also urges that any
increase be made retroactive to Jan.
uary l. Shop employees participate
ing in this wage demand include
machinists, blacksmiths, boiler max
ers, sheet metal workers, electrical
workers and car men.
The principal wage question now
pending is the application of the
leading trainmen's brotherhoods for
readjustments of wage scales to re-
store differentials existing before
the general wage advance and for
time and half pay for overtime
The readustments have practically
been determined upon, resulting in
some decreases and some advances
in wages with the general trend up
ward. No decision has~been reached
however, on whether time and hall
or pro-rata wages will be given for
overtime.

JUDGE DECLARES
war MARRIAGES
ARE VERY valid
Says Stacking or Overly RO-
mantle Couples Must Con-
tinue in Bonds Of
WedIOCk.

Chicago, Hit will be most
difficult for the war brides and the
draft dodger bridegrooms and the
hero husbands to break asunder the
holy ties of marriage, lightly but
not loosely tied in moment of
mental and emotional stress
brought about by the war.
Such is the opinion, and the in
tention, of David M. Brothers, cir
cult court judge, who deals in and
also deals out divorces.
Said the judge today:
"The present divorce laws are ex-
ceptionally severe. There are few
loophples for persons who get mar
ried for convenience sake or some
other reason, and then, after a
short time, rue it. Desertion is a
good ground for divorce. The only
hitch is that desertion is considered
an accomplished fact only after
three or four years.
Cruelty? Oh, yes, another good
reason. But there must be other
reasons to augment it. Infidelity is
another reason"
1t looks, then, as if lot of these
men who got married to escape the
draft, or because they went to war
and thought they'd never come
back, willshave to make the best oil
their hasty step, without really haV-
ing accomplished their purposeF
the Judge was asked.
Exactly" was the reply. "But
it's little bit too early to form ar
opinion as to whether many ol
these persons will try to escape the
marital duties now that the war i:
over and their military duties, fol-
the time being, have come to ar
end.

The rarest of the war stories

usually of mere sidelights and CEN

Fred c. Jordon of Bennington, who
was, formerly a prisoner at Camp
Rastatt, Germany, there is both be-
ginning and end.
Six Yankee soldiers were lost
from their company during the Yer
dun drive and on September % they
found themselves at 4:30 in the
morning surrounded by boches-who
