Married Life of Helen and Warren f Helen’s Strategic Manoenvers to, Avoid an Evening With the Bradleys. "Table for two? This way, sir." The stout, august head waiter piloted them across the crowded dining room to a table undesirably near the or chestra. “Oh, this Is too close td the mu sic!" protested Helen. i "Sorry, madam, It's the only small table I have.” "How about those over there?” de manded Warren, curtly. "They're reserved, sir. This Is all I have just now.” "Well, we’ll not sit here!” as the or chestra jazzed Into a strident air. "Not with that- racket! We’ll go somewhere else.” "As you please, sir.

There’s plenty of tables for four.” “Why certainly, if there're four of you, there's a nice table by the win dow',” offered the head waiter, some what chastened by Warren’s out burst. Vainly Helen strove for some plausible excuse for their escape, but already they were being ushered to ward the window table. “Isn’t this fortunate?” gushed Mrs. Bradley when they were seated. "An other moment and we’d have missed you.” "Yes, we were beating it,” shrugged Warren, still disgruntled. “That chesty head waiter thought he could Jam us up against that orchestra or make me shell out. But he couldn't pull tha| stunt on me!” “They all try to hold you up when they can,” observed Mr. Bradley. “Guess he thought you looked 'good for a two pot anyway.’ “Well, he thought wrong. Now what’re we going to eat?” scanning the menu. "Let’s have the dinner and save the bother of ordering,” suggested Mr. Bradley. “What’s on the dinner?” Warren was never keen on table d’hotes. “Shad, sweetbread, and duck. Don’t think much of the duck you get on these dinners." , Helen was less intent on the menu thap the though of who would pay the check. If only in the beginning she had proposed a “Dutch treat.” Now Warren, as always, would pay— and they were under no obligations to the Bradleys, t “Three oysters and one grapefruit, two consomme and two cream of as paragus, and four shad,” the w-alter repeated the order. “Oh,-do look at that green gown— and w'ith that sallow complexion,” criticized Mrs. Bradley.

"Then you must come with us to Louise Griffith's concert. You know her, don't you? Didn't you receive tickets?” “I’ve barely met her—and Warren doesn’t care for concerts," thinking of the tickets, three dollars each, which she had promptly mailed back. "Oh, you must go! It's her first! recital and all her friends ought to help—she wants to study in Paris. We’ll exchange our tickets and get a box.” Ignoring Helen's demurral, Mrs. Bradley was effusively Insistent. "Come on. Curtis,” urged Mr. Brad ley. "If we’re In a box It won’t be so bad. You and I can sit in the back and talk.” "All right, but I’m not much on con certs—bore me stiff,” was Warren’s grunted assent. Then, more genially, “That’s a good 131006 of shad!” Helen, exploring her shad for bones, was still trying to think of some way out of the concert. She had hoped Warren would hold out against it, but the mellowing influence of food had weakened his opposition. A box! She shrank from the thought of what that might cost. And with this two-and-ahalf dollar din ner—$10 for the four, not counting the tip. They hardly knew Louise Griffith. Why must they contribute to her year in Paris? And as fur charity, there were other far more worthy causes. "I was right about table d'hote duck,” Warren eyed his portion criti cally. "It's always tough and skin ny.” Would you like roast beef instead, sir? A nice rare cut?” Helen saw In the'waiter's solicitude his shrewd surmise that Warren ^mld pay the check. A substitute order would augment his tip. "On your gown?” dismayed Mrs. Bradley. "Oh. that’s too bad!” "My knife slipped," Helen rose | hastily. “I'll go to the dressing-room and sponge It out. No—No, you needn’t go with me—I won't be a 1 minute." •But out In the corridor Helen did not enter the velvet-curtained door of the "Ladies' Dressing-Boom.” Not even glancing toward it, she vvalked deliberately In the opposite direction, down the marble hall. A few minutes later she re entered the dining room with a deeper color in her cheeks and the spot on her gown untouched. "Did it come out?" asked Mrs. Brad ley. "Oh. you didn’t—’’ “No, the Viaiil advised me not to touch it with water. } I’ll wait till I get home and use gasoline—that takes out grease right away.” „ “Well. It won't show with your coat on, and if we have a box we won't take off our wraps until we re seat ed.” “You'll find this all right, sir,” the waiter brought on a generous slice of rare roast beef. "That's more like It,” beamed War ren. "That beats all your cold stor age duck.” "Mrs. W. E. Curtis!” shrilled a bell boy. "Wanted on the ’phone!” "Oh, a call for me!" dropping her napkin. Helen started up. "That can't be for you! Who In biases knows you're here?” "Wby. I—*1 told Nora we were din ing- here.” flustered. "Now’ Thought Ik was her Thurs day oft?” "Yes, but she came back before we left—something must be wrong!" dart ing off toward the telephones. Out In the hall. Helen, calmly Ignor ing the three telephone booths, enter ed the velvet doorway of the ladles’ dressing room. Before a white enameled toilette table she leisurely powdered her flushed face, adjusted her hair net and examined the grease spot on her gown. When she again re-entered the din ing room her deliberateness was re placed by a flurried excitement. "It was Nora! There's a leak—a leak In the library from the bath room in the apartment nbove. It's ruining the celling and the bookcase!" "In the library? How in thunder can there be a leak there?" demanded Warren. "No bathroom over the library!” On, dear; aorvt. stop to argue: Hurry, everything'!! be ruined!" "Hold on, I've got to pay the check. Where * our waiter?" “Here he Is; I'll tel' him." Helen turned quickly to tiu> waiter, who was serving an omelette*souffle at a near by table. “We've been called away! Will you give u» our check? Pinner for two.’’ emphasizing the “two." "Oh, I'm so sorry you have to rush off!" protested Mrs. Bradley. "Couldnt' you come to the concert afterwards? It won't begin before 9." "We'd love to," lied Helen. “But I'm afraid »e can't.” "Even If you're late w# could still get a bo*. Oh. I hope you can." "Tough luck—having to cut short our dinner." grumped Wurren as ho paid the bin. "Don't see yet how there ran be a leak In that library." "Do try to come," Mia. Bradley called after them. "I'll watch for you." "Well, she won't see us," grunted Warren. "Had her nerve trying to rope us In on that concert. What'd Nora say about that leak? When did It start?" Pushing through the revolving door, Helen's answer was Indistinct. "Here's a taxi!" Warren flourished his can* «t a passing car. “No—no. dear, *<•> don't want a taxi." "Why not? Think the subw'ay'e guloksr?” “No*, we don't have to hurry," glee fully skipping beside him. "We’re not going home at all—let's go to the theater." "The theater? You crazy? What about that leak?" "There Isn't any leak! That was Just to get out of the concert." "Eh? The devil II was! What about that 'phone doll?" "There wpan't any. When I went out to the dressing room to sponge off tlmt spot, J tipped a boll hoy to come In and page me. And then you kept quizzing mo about Nora being out! I nudged you under the table, hut you were so dense. Oh, 1 was so afraid they'd suspect something " "Well, I’ll bo Mowed! Talk about your 1 ricks! You're sllpery enough to squirm out or anything.” "But why should she fores us to lh.lt concert'' Why should alls pre sume— " "I wasn't keen on that hut couldn't see any wsv out of it. (loess that grease spot did us a good lorn If you'd spilled your grub In your moulfi Instead ,»f vmie loo. ufs'd • been In for a bum concert, all right.” “Oh, I—I, that spot wa« part of the plan-" with an Irrepressible giggle. "Eh? What's that? More tricks?” "Well, I had to have some excuse to leave the table—so I dropped that piece of duck. I knew gasoline would take out grease.” "Jumping Jupiter, you ought to be a diplomat! Had it all cooked up from the start, eh? Well, when you had everything else so pat, why didn't you time that call better? Why not give me a chance at that Strawberry Mousse—Instead of dragging me out with the salad? You balled up that part of It.” She had timed the call before the meal was finished, so, he would be less apt tor pay for all four, but this Helen wis/ely refrained from admit ting. Instead, she tucked her hand through his arm with a gleeful. "Never mind, dear, I'll make you a rarebit wjpen we get home. You know you'd rather have that than all the desserts. Now come on, let’s try and get tickets for ‘The Disastrous Mrs. Dare.’ I’m crazy to see It” "One of your blamed problem plays, eh? Well, come along, I'm game.

Di f ficult Middle Position on World Court Leads to Success but Fatal in Politics, Ob server Says. — No League Compromise; •_ By MARK gVLUVAN. Any one familiar with practical poli tics, and with the psychology of popu lar elections, must concede that Pres ident Harding, as regards his stand on International relations. Is In a most dangerous position. He Is In the middle ground. Taking this field as a whole, the democrats pre at one extreme, with their advocacy of the league of nations; Hiram Johnson' Is at the other extreme In his advocacy of com plete isolation, and Harding, In ad vocating the moderate step of Join ing the world court Is between the two extremes. Now it is a fact that It Is out of the middle ground of most contro versies that the best sort of progress usually comes. Prom the point of view of merit, that is the praiseworthy position. But practical politics and election psychology Is a different matter. In a popular election, as goon as feel ing Is stirred up, nearly every voter goes to one extreme or the other. The number of voters who keep their heads and give support to the man in the Tnlddle position la usually com posed of those of the highest Intelli gence. But, In the nature of things the highest Intelligence Is also the least numerous. The masses swing to one extreme or the other, and the candidate or leader who becomes Iden tified in the public mind with the middle ground is almost surely either chewed to pieces In the conflict or Is Ignored. President Knows Position. Nobody, knows better than Harding the Impossibility of maintaining the middle ground In a popular election. On this same Issue of the league of nations, in 1920, Harding and the re publican party started out in the mid dle position. They wrote a platform which looked both ways on the league, and they named a candidate who had ADI KKTIKF.AfK.vr. Try This onYour Hair 15 Days Then let your mirror prove the result#.

Being In the middle ground as to party is, from the point of view of practical, politics, rathpr more fatal than being in the middle ground on issues. The American public insists thinking of elections as having some thing of the nature of a prize fight, or some other sort of sporting event. The individual voter wants to get into the game himself, wants to share the thrill and passion of it. He wants to Identify himself with one side or the other. He wants to shout, and he active, not as a mere onlooker, nor even as a partisan, but actually as a participant himself. That is one of the reasons why. In America, third parties rarely do very well. The voter feels that third parties i*nd middle ground candidates are on the side lines. And the voter himself An VK.HTINKMKNT. Gas Reduced! NO MORE DISCOMFORT AFTER TAKING BAALMANN’ S GAS TABLETS.

All this may not be what ought to be, but It Is what I*. Process I* Slow. Whatever H\ighes and Harding do In the way of promoting Interna tional co-operation, no matter how much they accomplish. If It Is short of actually joining the league it will be satisfactory to the American partisans of the league. The thlck iiul- thin advocates of the league In Its original form will not be satisfied With anything which Is a mere ap proximation to It. It Is essential and fundamental in their theory that a universal league, committed to the use of force, if necessary, is the only solution and that anything short of that Is, by reason of the very omis sion of any one nation, futile. They say we must dive Into the water where it Is deepest and somehow manage to swim. All who propose a gradual approach to the league or who propose merely International co operation among some of the nations, are regarded by the league sea lots as being In the position of the one who said: "Hang your clothes on a hick ory limb, but don't go near the water." Nevertheless, It Is clear that the achievement of universal Interna tional co-operation for the prevention of war Is going to be a process of alow and gradual approach.

ILL IF there is one thing more than another a woman dreads, it A is a surgical operation, and to be told that one is necessary is very disheartening. Hospitals are grand institutions, and undoubtedly many op erations arc necessary. However, we have received hundreds of letters from women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound after an operation had been deemed advisable. Every woman who suffers as Mrs. Coffman did naturally wishes to avoid an operation if possible, and the remarkable KtatementsVhirh she makes in her letter will be read with interest by women everywhere.
