The Vacation Test

Fannie Hurst, the writer, who
thinks that married people are happi-
est if they live apart, is spending a
vacation with her husband. They even
eat breakfast together and are said to
be having a wonderful time. II they
only realized it, they are making one
of the best possible tests of temper
and congeniality. People who make
good vacation companions can usually
risk continuous association.
It makes little difference how the
holiday is to be spent-roughing it,
or de luxe, with all the panoply OF
golf, tennis, motoring and fancy ho-
tel service-still it will reveal with
adaptability and good temper, or the
lack of it, among those who spend the
time together.
There are people who can be agree
able for week under particularly for
tunate circumstances, but slump into
their naturally mean characteristics
when the fun is over. They are the
fair weather sailors of life, and the
chances are that some squat during
the vacation period will show them up.
AS rule the vacationist who proves
himself good company, adaptable and
cheerful, taking his share OF the bad
luck and seeing that his companions
get their share Of the good luck, is
man to tie to in everyday life He
isn't companionable just because he is
having a good time. but because his
character is grounded in the things
that count.-Gainesville Sun.

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
~ ADELE oARRisols.

1 There was long silence in Lillian
Underwood's library after my out
break against the hooking cruelty of
her husbands letter to her, and her
resolve to deny Harry Underwood's re-
quest for the formality of a divorce,
because of the notoriety she and her
little daughter would suffer, but to
leave him forever free of any claim of
hers.
| With her chin cupped in her hands
she sat gazing into the fire, mourn
full stare, which made my heart ache
| for her. knew the sense of failure, the
humiliation which was stretching her
sensitive soul upon the rack, knew also
that until she broke the silence her
self it were better not to question her.
| 1 was in no mood for speech myself.
There were a number of barbed arrows
| in Harry Underwood's letter, and with
4 an amazed self-contempt I realized
/ that one of them was the fact that the
extraordinary admiration for me which
he had always protested had had 50
slight a tenure, had been SO easily dis
placed by the many attractions of
Grace Draper, the girl whom had the
| greatest reason In the world to dis
trust and dislike.
I have always feared and disliked
Harry Underwood, so that there was
no reason fer my feeling of pique, save
wounded vanity, sil!iest of human emo
tions. My cheeks burned with shame
as 1 forced myself to recognize that
underneath all my repugnance to Har-
ry Underwood all my real loyalty to
my husband and Lillian, there had
run a secret despicable feeling of graf
flied vanity at my evident power over
the man.
With a little shudder put the reali-
zation behind me and turned to an
other recollection of the letter I had
just read, that which pertained to my
father. I had read it hurriedly, but I
knew that there was something in 1t
that / should heed.
I picked up the crumpled sheets OF
the letter from the floor where I had
thrown them, and smoothing out the
pages found the place for which was
looking. The words, in Harry Under
woods bold, beautiful chirography,
stared up at me!

lved-more intriguing and thieving Of
ficials coming to see him than you
can count. If I had an imagination
should say he was an international spy,
but he probably is playing some little
graft game of his own"
My first feeling was one of unbridled
anger against the man who had writ
ten the words. The cheapness of him:
revenging himself upon the old man
who had resented his wickedness by
slandering him In a letter.
Then cold, little fear clutched me.
What, after all, did 1 know OF my
father. OF the mysterious business in
which he was engaged. or of the source
OF his income? All my life I had school
ed myself to dislike and despise him.
because Of his cruelty to my mother.
He had deserted her and taken with
him her closest woman friend when I
was but four years old.
But my mother on her death bed had
asked me to forgive him If he should
ever come into my life again. and when
after I had met him as Robert Gordon
the mysterious "quester'' of Broadway
he had revealed himself TO me as my
father. I found that all the hatred
had felt for him melted away at the

U. S. STEEL AGAIN
CUTS LABORER'S PAY
Wage Reductions Since May !
Now Equals 40 Per Cent for
These 10000 Workers.

New York.-The United States Steel
Corporation, through Chairman Ebert
Fl. Gary, announced a cut of 10 per
cent in the wages of laborers, to be-
come effective August 20.
This brings the rate, which prior
to last May was 40 cents an hour,
down to 30 cents, and, taken with the
elimination of time and One-half pay
for overtime last July, is equivalent
to cut Of 40 per cent from the May
high level.
"Other wages and salaries Mr..
Gary said, would "be equita5ly adjust
ed" though in what manner and to
what extent was not disclosed.
On the basis of 30 per cent of pro-
duction on which the corporation is
now operating, 1t is estimated that
10000 men are affected.
In view Of the prevailing low sell
Ing prices Of steel as compared to
costs of production said Mr.. Gary
in announcing the wage cut, sit Is
necessary to make reductions in wage
rates and therefore we will recent
mend to subsidiary companies that the
general rates of day labor be decreased
to 80 cents an hour to become effective
Monday, August 20, and that other
wages and salaries he equitably ad
tusted."
The cut Is the third since May 16.
On that date 20 per cent reduction
was made Sixty days later 1t was
announced that overtime, which had
hitherto been paid at the rate of time
and one-half, would be paid for as
straight time. This was the equiva
lent of about 10 per cent.
Labor leaders when told Of the cut
expressed regret, coupled with doubt,
that it would be followed by any la
Dor trouble at this time because Of
present conditions in the industry.
