' ' : Married Life the Third Year Warren Leaves Helen on the Time in the Smoking Room. By MABEL HERBERT URNER. Ia the first start of awakening, Helen bad that curious sensation of not realis ing where she was. Then the strange surrounding resolved themselves into a tJtaterooom. For a few mo-' ,ments she lay list ening to the rush ing waves and to the creaking of the chip. Then very softly so as not to awaken Warren in the ' berth above, she climbed out of the narrow bunk and. over . to the porthole. It was a wonder ful glimpse of the morning sun on the ocean. Far out to the horizon the deep blue, of the . waves was chang- ing . -t - metallio - ; . , - glitter '-as they . caught, the ' light, ano then broke 'Into :whlte crwtr of : foam. But through her thin night dress thu salt air was piercingly cold. Slipping into her bathrobe she rang for' the bath stewardess. '( ' If only Warren would sleep until she could get dressed and out The stateroom was so small she wanted to get all her things put away before he got" up,, or he would complain again , about her bringing a lot of "truck." . Although it took her almost an hour, She was dressed and was Just tying on her veil when he awoke.,,..,' . v, "Uh-h." turning with difficulty in the harrow, creaking berth and pushing back ithe curtain. "You up?" ' , "Yes, dear, I'm all ready to go on Beck. I thought I'd hurry and get out so au wouldn't be crowded. "What time is it?" ... .. "Ten minutes of eight," looking at the tiny traveling clock which she had put In one of the net racks. "Oh; .that thing's not right they set the time ' forward . on you now every twelve, hours. It's nearer 9. Ring for the. steward, there, will you? And -shut that porthole it's infernally ' cold in Jiere." ... " "It Is shut, dear. Walt, I'll give you your dressing gown." "Hand up those slippers, too there , by that suit case. And see If you can't locate that steward as you go ' out. I Hustle him in here. It took him half Ian hour yesterday to fix' my bath." Helen sent in the steward and then I went, up on deck. A number . of , pas sengers were walking about, and a few 'were already settled in their steamer i chairs.' It was a glorious day. The deep blue of the sky dotted with fleecy, white 'Clouds seemed almost exactly reflected in' the. deeper blue of the sea, with . its caps of white froth. -. Helea.walked briskly up and down, tak ing deep breaths of the fresh air. an gazing out at a steamer that could just be seen on the horizon. She was thinking of Warren and hop ing he would spend more time with her today. Yesterday morning he had tucked her up In her steamer ohair. and then strolled off to the smoking- room, not reappearing until lunch time. After luncheon he had walked her around the deck a few moments, and again bundled her-up In her chair and left her "Ready for,' breakfast?" demanded Warren, as he now came up behind her. "Oh, yes.". Then pointing to the steamer now.- hardly irfore than- a faint streak e gainst the sky, "Look, dear there's a steamer out there. - . "Never , mind about steamers now I'm hungry. It's this air and. the salt baths." And he hurried her down. The long white' dining saloon with Its red velvet carpet - and chairs, and ' its flower-laden tables was most- attractive. With an air. -of satisfaction Warren look up the' bre&kfaS card. Grape fruit, ; kippered herring, and 'a Spanish omelette--that's about my size this morning... How about you?" throwing (the card over to Helen. "I'm sorry, sir, interrupted' the- stew ard apologetically, but we don't serve ta.nythlng but boiled .. eggs and . coffee after 10 o'clock.' "The devil you don't!" ' "It's a rule of the boat, slr,w ; .WeU it's a new rule; other boats of 'this line don't-have It" . Warren had never been, on any other boat of this, IJne but, it waa his habit to Intimidate waiters - in some such way. However, in - this; case it did not work. The' steward': "waited, " respectfully at tentive, but without any sign of yield- - - : Deck Alone and Spends His "Bring on your boled eggs then soft boiled," Warren finally growled. "I'll see the head steward about this later." . "But, dear, I suppose they must have some rules," conciliated Helen, when the stewart had gone for th order. "Rules your grandmother! When a man pays $175 for his passage he ex pects something besides boiled eggs for breaktast rules or no rules. Next time VII go on a boat that has a la carte service, where you can get , what yom want when you want it. Boiled eggs only after 10 o'clock huh, that's a fine rule for an ocean liner." - "But you know, dear, they serve broth and sandwiches on deck at 11 o'clock." ."Yes, and I never touoh that ' stuff. What I want is a aubstantial breakfast not a lot of indigestible truck be tween meals." i "The chief steward says, sir, that hereafter if you'll get your order in before ten you can he served after that. You can send your order by your, atate oora steward Just so it gets to the kitchen before ten." "Humph, that's some better," conceded Warren, somewhat mollified. "You ought to know you couldn't put over any such rule as that." Then turning to Helen, as the steward moved off. "You seeT That's the way to handle those fellows! YOu've got to put up a kick let them understand you know what good service is and that you intend to have it" I "But I thought the service all over the boat wa very good," protested Helen. "It seems to me they1 do everything they can." "Why shouldn't they? They've got you here for a week and it's up to them tp make you comfortable. Besides there's so. much competition now between these big lines: that they've got to keep up their service or they don't get the pas sengers." i ' Warren's attitude was always that he was conferring a favor upon anything that he patronized and he exacted and These Are Ice Cream Days This shows how the fat globules of cream t in its natural state appear under- a microscope. '' By GARRETT P. SERVISS. Who does not remember her, . or his It is more frequently her first dish of Ice cream? As we grow older we are probably less fond of the delicious refec tion than in our younger days, and yet, if I knew the name of the Inventor of ice cream, I would try, in this hot weather, to sing his praise. He, or it may have been she, was a great benefactor. , The dog days must surely have been more terrible when there was no ice cream to make one forget for a few delightful moments that the sun is 16,000 degrees hot and capable of pouring on every foot of sweltering humanity enough heat to enable an engine to raise a hundred tons a mile high! . " . ; But ice cream is not an unmixed bless ing, as Dr; Wiley reminds us In his Good" Housekeeping Magazine article for July. It is mixed In a double sense, first in that it carries some degree of danger.

She was always afraid she was asking too much or causing un necessary trouble. Yet, curiously enough, it was Warren's ability to "lord it over" Sverybody that was for her a part of his asclnation. When they finished breakfast and went up the band was playing on the saloon deck, where it played for an hour every morning. 1 There was nothing that Helen' loved more than to walk around the deck with Warren during these band concerts. The sea, the music and Warren beside her there was an intoxication about It all. But now when they had walked around finiy a few times.

' The genuine virtue of Ice cream resides in the cream. Cream is derived from the tat particles of pur,, fresh milk. Anything else that goes Under the name of cream fa a fraud, and it is not lets a fraud even If It be Innocuous.
