remarks.
'What did you do today? See any
one in particular? It's been hot, hasn {

Ruth, remembering back, rccollected
that those same remarks had done duty
ever since she could remember. She
even recollected some of her own which
might have compared favorably. "Any-
thing new at the office?' And then
before he could answer, a quick resume
of the pretty little details that fiji n
woman's life when she is at home most
of the day.
Involuntarily they had both given IN
conversation for the time being and ate
dinner in silence. Ruth was amazed
that she hadn't noticed this as con-
crete fact before. that she had evidently
taken it for granted and then wondered
afterward why she was restless and
bored.

and she did not rcpulse him. for she
wanted to think, and to think clearly if
she could. She knew that Scott loved
her, and she knew that she loved him.
But she saw only too clearly that they
were in dangerous rut. They had
reached the point where they took each
other for granted, where. having dis

COMETHING about life as she had
Ofelt it react upon her of late made
Ruth determine to note very carefully
that night just SCOTS attitude toward
her. She determined to be fair and not
to allow her imagination to color any
thing. She wanted to carefully weigh
everything, and to discover, il possible,
what 1t was that their marriage lacked.
1t is the hardest thing in the world
for a woman to act naturally when
she has something on her mind, but
when Scott returned that evening Ruth
put forth her best efforts. She was
cheerful. she met him at the door with
her face held up toward him for his
kiss, and il was then that she noticed
what she thought was the first differ
ence in Scott. He did kiss her perfume
torily. 1t was not imagination, it
wasn't that she had declined to be pessi-
mistic and see things wrong, it was
true.
Scott held his newspapers in one hand
and a package in the other, therefore
his hands were not free. Once he would
have flung whatever he had in his
hands away so that he might gather
her closely in his arms. Tonight he
stopped and kissed her lips as he might
have kissed those of his sister Alice.
Ruth's heart contracted suddenly.
even while she struggled to be fair, but
she determined not to let her thoughts
color her manner, and she hurried
around getting the things on the table
and chatting to him lightly as she
worked. That was when she noticed
something else. Perhaps it was because
she was looking for things tonight,
but Scott paid very little attention to
what she was saying. He continued
reading the papers and looking up oc-
casionally to give her n yes or no. She
knew that half the time he was not
conscious of what she was saying.
Ruth had the curious sensation that
she was playing n game. and her sense
Of humor saved the situation from be-
ing too serious.

living made IL almost necessary to do
things at regular intervals. Why was
it that the woman always had to think
Of the way out, for she certainly did?
Then suddenly Ruth remembered

was coming very soon. Perhaps some
thing would happen then. Perhaps

INDUSTRIAL Welfare
FEATURE OF PROGRAM
q. s. Commerce Chamber Members
At Annual Meeting to Make sus-
;gestions on Readjustment Lines.

American business men are prepar-
ing to offer a number Of suggestions
as an aid to industrial readjustment,
says an announcement issued here to-
day by the Chamber Of Commerce of
the United States, giving a prelini-
nary outline OF the program for the
seventh annual meeting of that or
gantzation to be held at st. Louis.
April 2S to !, inclusive.
At that time Representatives Of
business from every state will express
their views As to policies and prin-
ciples with suggestions as to pro-
grams for carrying them out. and by
this means it is expected to obtain
4 composite opinion from the busi-
ness world on many vital matters
that will be taken up by Congress at
the next session. The experience
gained during the war and during
the FIVE months period of industrial
readjustment since the armistice was
signed. the statement says, puts the
business men. in position to give ad-
vice from their point Of view on i'm
portant questions OF the day.
The chamber announces further
that a call has been sent out asking

Gil of American industries, made up

George Washington University's ba-

babies are Jean and Yvonne Rous-
seau, French war orphans adopted by
students at the university more than
two years ago.
The students faithfully supported
the babies during the war, but now
comes the sad news that unless some
dough" is sent to continue the main
tenance of the orphans they will be
snatched away from their mother"
anE placed in a public institution.
The students don't want that to
happen. so drive has been started
to raise the needed funds. Some of

Wounded Soldiers on Cars.
To the Editor OF The star:


The Star Of Tuesday contained an
editorial captioned Wounded Men
First" recounting the criticism of q
visitor to Washington of tho appar-
ent dfsinclinatton on the part of those
who ride in the street cars to give
their places to wounded soldiers, who
are therefore forced to stand. 1t ia
to be regretted that this visitor leaves
the National Capital with SO disagree
which the men who were wounded In
the world war are treated while pas
sengers on public service vehicles.
But 1t Is to be more regretted that
this city should give shelter and en-
ployment within its confines to men
chivalry and helpful courtesy that
they will retain their places in the
street cars when an opportunity pre-
sents OF seating q wounded American
soldier. 1t is not the purpose Of this
communication to suggest that every
man spring to his feet and offer his
place to every soldier who may hap
pen to enter the car, but 1t is its In
| tent to suggest the right to . seat Of
| every kahki-clad man who is wound
ed in a sufficiently noticeable degree,
| that he may realize to some slight ex-
tent the appreciation Of the public
he served. and that his standing shall
not be reproach to every seated
man. There appears to be a. vast diff
ference between cheering long lines Of
our men as they march up the Avenue
and giving up of a seat to one of their
wounded comrades, a difference SO
great that it apparently cannot be
overcome.
In France they serve their wounded
men better on public transportation
lines than seems to be the custom
here, possibly because there is so
much larger proportion Of wounded
men, but nevertheless seats are re-
served on the end of the cars for
wounded soldiers, and, should those
seats be filled the conductor fill re-
quest any person for his seat for an
entering wounded man. However,
may 1t be said for the French people,
it is hardly ever necessary for the
conductor to make such a request, for
the nearest man. woman or child to
the entering wounded soldier invaria-
bly, rises and assists the man person.
ally to the vacated seat. It Is done as
a matter of course, as e, right to which
the man is entitled. 1t may be that
some of the ways Of our French
friends are not as up to date as re-
turning Americans would wish, but
when it comes to q matter of showing
everyday common courtesy to the
men who bore the brunt of the world
war, and on whose bodies are forevei
stamped the vivid marks Of their par
ticipation in that conflict, the French
are far ahead Of the citizens Of the
