his mother and Daphne good morning.
room like Gagged leopard till Leila
arrived.
Her trousseau had included boudoir
gowns Of the most ravishing descrip-
ton and she wore her best one to
breakfast. Daphne and Mrs. Kip made
oil the desirable EXPLANATIONS at the
cost and the cut of 1t. Even Bayard
paid her tribute.
"Isn't she dream, mother? Aren't
you proud of her, Daph?"
They agreed that she was and they
were, and Bayard drew his chair up to
the table with pride.
1t was the brides last breakfast and
the housewives first. That is, Leila,
was not really housewife; only an
apartment wife, with nearly every
thing done for her except the spending
Of her time. She had to spend her own
time.
This breakfast was the funeral of
the honeymoon, and Leila hung with
graceful detection over the coffee cup.
1t might have been a cup of hemlock,
judging from the posture of her woe.
But the he-brute, attracted by pOr-
ton of headline, had his newspaper
and was gulping 1t down with his cof-
fee.
He was SO absorbed in the mere
clash of two Mexican generals and the
danger Of American Intervention that
he forgot the all-important demands
Of love. and ignored the appalling fact
that he had only few minutes left
before he must take his departure.
1t was pitiful awakening to the
new Mrs. Kip. She was being taught
that she was not important enough to
keep her husbands mind or his body
close at home. He had said that she
was all the world to him, and, behold
she wns only part Of it. He had said
that he could think of nothing else and
desired nothing else but her. Now he
had her and he was thinking of every
thing else. He had to have a news
paper to tell him all about everything
In the world.
The sight Of Leila's anguish over the
breakfast Obsequies of the honeymoon
chilled Daphnes hope of marriage
bliss like frost ravening among peach
blossoms.

growled.
Before he had chance to carry out

posted its fares at an apartment house

up.
Clay ran out and howled at 1t till 1t

the bridle-path. Then he ran to Daphne
and bundled her into it, and gave her
address to the driver.
"But how are you going to pay himF

That's terribew Daphne sighed.

"Well, / wanted to give you Il good

"and it's only two days till my next

Her heart sank. Her guess was
right His bank account was dry. It
felt that there was something here
that would take n bit of thinking about
when she had rested enough to
think.
The taXicab swung into Fifty-ninth
street and drew up to the curb. Clay
helped Daphne out and said to the
"Waitl"
He said 1t with Just the tone he had

When Clay had kissed her his seven

now he could tear himself away from

pressed the bell.

not invited Duane to sit down.
Tom Duane looked at Daphne and
smiled like boy rebuked. "All right,
I'll go quietly. I know when I'm

so easily. Good night"
He put his warm. friendly hand out
again to Daphne and to Clay, who
nodded him away with an appalling liz
formality, considering how great he
was.

CHAPTER vi.

The meeting Of Daphne and her new
sister-in-law was not what either would
have expected or selected. Daphne
was tired in body and soul, dlscour-
aged. footsore and dismayed about her
love and her lover. She had reached
the door of the apartment in the mood
Of wave-buffeted, outswum castaway,
eager for nothing but to lie down in
the sand and sleep.
Daphne could Imagine the feelings
OF her brothers wife when she
reached her home after a long ocean
voyage, night landing, the custom
house ordeal, and the cab ride among
the luggage, and found q mother-in-
law asleep In her bed and q sister-in-
law yet to arrive!
Bayard and Leila, serene in the be-
lief that Daphne and her mother had
gone back to Cleveland, entered the
apartment without formality and went
about switching on lights, recovering
their little home from the night with
magic instantaneity.
Mother Kip's awakening came from
the light that Bayard flashed in his
bedroom. Leila had lovable dispo-
| sltion, but she was tired, and all the
way up In the overloaded cab she had
thought longingly of the beautiful bed
In her own new home, and had prom
ised herself quick plunge into It for
long stay. How could she rejoice to
lind strange woman there-even
though she bore the sacred name Of
| mother-in-law?
Mother Kip ordered Bayard and
Leila out Of their own room and when
she was ready to be seen she had so
many apologies to make and accept
that the meeting entirely lacked the
rapture 1t should have expressed. Even
mother could hardly be glad to See
her son In such discouraging circum-
stances. All three exchanged cues.

erside drive. She. too. was thinking

she reached 1t her mother had moved

good deal more than half Of 1t. 1t was
a smallish bed In snallish bedroom.

Clay shifted. He was not to be
quieted by such sop. He whipped
out his pocketbook and laid down
every bill in 1t. He stretched his legs
and ransacked his trousers pockets
and dropped on the plate every coin he
had. He withdrew dime and waved
the heap at the waiter.
1t was evident, from the way the
waiter snatched the plate from the
table, that Clay had not tipped him. In
fact, Clay said, '.This will be a lesson
to you"

GERMAN UNEMPLOYMENT
INCREASES 200 PER CENT
Condition More Serious on Account of

LONDON. March l.--Uncmpoymcnt
in Germany has increased zoo per cent
since the signing of the armistice.
while the former commercial activity
has dcGcnerated to state of stagna-
ton, according to the Daily Tclegr ph
which has sent n correspondent into
Germany to study internal conditions.
Prior to the armistice, when waS
industries were operating, there were
100000 idle worlmcn in Germany. The
number has been rapidly increasing
since November. until now 100000
workers are unemployed.
Conditions arc made even more scri-
Gus by the cou1try's inability TO feed
ITS population from internal resources
whereas before the war Germany was
almost wholly self-feeding. today she
cannot supply more than 45 per cent
OF her prc-war population according
TO the article. Reasons for this con-
ditlon include deterioration of the soil
through lack OF fertilizer and deprccia-
