Hunting a Husband
The Widow Finds that Dr. Haynes is Indeed a Real
Help.
1
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DEWATER.
v.
Beatrice awoke on Sunday morning with
an imvmftrtab!e consciousness of duly
to be , performed. She liked to rest on
Sunday, hut today she appreciated that in
thirty-six hours she must leave town,
while before her lay, what seemed to
her Imagination! (o be a week's work in
the way of preparation for her depar.
ture.
Wearily she went in to breakfast, and
sat silent throughout the meal. Then
she .began with half-hearted interest tb
survey the tasks before her. Rugs must
be ' taken up, curtains taken down,
trunks hauled up from the depths of the
basement store-room by the tip-aspiring
Janitor. Bric-a-brac must be put away
in closets and silver must be packed pre
paratory to going to the bank tomorrow
morning. These were, but preliminaries,
but they were tedious and tiresome. By
10 o'clock the once tidy apartment' looked
as though, to quote the maid's apt expres.
sion, "the devil's wife had a fit Jrt It." -
Had Beatrice been in a more cheerful
or philosophical frame of mind she would
have comforted herself twith, the thought
that after all her lot was, Jnuch. easier
than- that of , many "housewives at this
season of the year. To -be sure, she had
all that she could do to get away at. the
time set, but, she was taking into the
country only the wearing apparel, bed
linen and table linen. . ..
For, in the complete- little cottage in
which she kas going, there would be
furniture for all the rooms,: including
china, glass and cooking utensils. There
were rugs and carpets laid,-- while cur
tains and draperies were at windows and
doors. The former owner's wife who had
been taken, ' as Helen Robblns had
thought, providentially ill, was a good
housekeeper and a dainty one as well. So
the cottage lacked nothing but linen.
Yet Beatrice kneeling on the floor be -
tore a huge "Saratoga" trunk, was hot,
dusty and out of temper as she packed
her clothes for an outing which she de
clared ' mentally she did not desire. To
plan to go-was the thing, to do the wortt
necessary for the summer flitting was
another. She would have postponed the
trip until a merciful change of weather
If she had dared to do so. She used the
word "dared" In her thoughts and she
meant it. Each time that she was tempted
to defer ' her departure, Dr. Hayes'
abrupt command recurred to her, find she
resumed the disagreeable task. '
Yes, he had told her to go, and ' she
was going to do as he ordered.' She did
not deceive herself with the pretense that
anxiety for her child's health was her
only motive in hurrying her departure.
TO be sure, she was uneasy about Jean,
but she had something akin to dread of
the brusque physician's displeasure. The
psychological effect of the harsh com
mand had been great and the woman
was, against her own inclinations obey
ing him. She hated him, she told her
self, yet she was implicitly following his
commands. She could not have explained
why.
She was carrying a great Armful of bed
linen, into the living room where the
trunks were ranged when the door, bell
rang and a second later the man against
whom she had launched many anathe
mas within the lost hour strode into the
room
"Dr. Haynes!", exclaimed Beatrice, as
tonished, .
She deposited her burden upon a chair
and put her hands hastily to her head
to arrange her roughened hair. "I know
I look like a fright," she said apologetic
ally, "but I've been working very hard.
I hjvl to in order to carry out your in
structions. Moreover, I -was - pot expect
ing company." .;. . , ,
Her-tone and manner were not cordial,
but the man laughed; good naturediy.
"Bless your soul," he said, "I'm not com
pany. I'm only the doctor, though I did
not really Intend to stop here this morn
ing. But' I began to think about our
little patient and decided to see for my
self how she is progressing. I wanted to
know, also, if you were following my di
rections." ' .
"I am trying to get ready to go to
morrow afternoon," answered Beatrice
coldly,, "although I doubt If I can get toy
packing done today. It it a wearying
nd trying plec of work."
The man smiled good naturediy, "Oh,
you'll get finished packing all right," he
said with irritating optimism. ' "There
comet in every job a sticking point at
which one Is ready to weep or swear
in despair of ever getting through. And
then,'-If you drive straight ahead at it,
you suddenly' find that you are almost
done. Here, let. me help you with that"
trice was struggling to fold. "There's no
use in my 'standing here all the day
Idle," , he went on, smiling genially. "I
think I'm doing more good helping you
people on this Sabbath day, when you are
working to get a sick chl'd to the coun
try, than I would do by going to a church
and listening to a sermon." x
"Wlhat do you think about It, sweet
heart?" , ,
The question was addressed to Jean,
who, propped among the pillows on the
living room divan, had been -gating at
htm with adoring eyes.'
I "Yes, sir," answered the child, smiling
happily. "You're awful nice, Dr.
Haynes."
The physician pinched the wan little
cheek, then turned to assist the un
responsive widow with her packing.
"Not a word!" he cried boyishly as she
began to protest. "I'm going to help you,
and that' all there Is about it Finished
with this trunk, aren't you? Let me set
It out of the way!" ; .
He grasped the bundles, and the great
box which had seemed to the woman as
Immovable as Gibraltar was dragged out
Into the hall:' i' " ', " '
It waa amasing how helpful this man
could be and how his presence simplified
the work. Beatrice, found herself laugh
ing, with Jean, at his stories and his
lokes, and the labor grew light in his
presence. By noon the packing was done.
with the exception of such articles as
would bo" put into suit cases tomorrow
morning.
'There!" exclaimed the physician tri
umphantly, as he put on the ooat which
at Beatrice's suggestion he had removed
when he began work. "That packing
wasn't such an awful job after all!"
"I am very much obliged to you," said
Beatrice,- gratefully. Her manner had
thawed to warm friendship within the
last hour. "You have done most of the
work."- - -j -..
"Indeed, nol" he exclaimed. "It's oeen
fun to me. I like, to tackle hard propo
sitions and subdue them. And this has
been fun, so don't thank me. Besides,
I'm afraid I was a bit rude-when I wis
here the other day, and I'm glad of a
chance to make some amends. To tell the
truth, 'I'd been up all the night before
that day, and I was in a beastly humor.'
"I never thought of your abrupt man
ner," replied the woman, mendaciously. .
"I'm glad,", said the man. "Then per
haps I might test your kindly feeling and
ask a favor of you?"
"Certainly you may," replied Beatrice,
with a thrill of expectancy. '
"Well," he hesitated "I'm going out
to Pleasonton tomorrow In my car to
Spend the night, and I thought perhaps
you might, let me"
Tes," interrupted Beatrice, smilingly,
ks he paused for a moment.
"Well," with a glance at Jean "I
thought perhaps you might let me take"
the little princess with me, The trip on
the train won't do her any good, and the
ride In the fresh air will. I'll take good
care of her."
For a moment Beatrice's chagrim at his
choice of companion tempted her to re
fuse bis request but a glance at the
child's eager face decided her to give
her permission.
"If you think it's perfectly safe I shall
be glad to have her go," she said form,
ally.
But though the man thanked her with
seeming heartiness, the widow had an
uncomfortable suspicion that his keen
eyes had noticed her momentary hesita
tion, and that perhaps he suspected its
cause. , . ,.

"If girls knew something about busi
ness before they married there would be
fewer unhappy, matrimonial experiences.".
This was the conclusion to which Mru.
Joel Feder arrived after we had talked
on the subject of married couples as
partners In the same buslneBB.
Mrs. Feder, ' who is a smart looking
woman wth an Interesting face, has for
some years had charge of the artistic end
of her husband's business, and she has
been mlghty'suopr-sful with' it, too.
Her particular line of the work Is of vaH
Interest to countless thousands of womeis
In America and abroad, for she helps
choose and disseminate the fashions
which will be popular all over the coun
try, and which are copied by the millions
by manufacturers from New York to the
coast. '
So you see she is a very important per
son, though one hears very little about
her.
"Do I believe that a business partner
ship, such as ours, tends to a happy mar
riage?" Mrs. Feder repeated my ques
tion. "Well, I can only say, look at us
We have a grownup daughter, and each
year our Interests are - more Intimately
bound together and our companionship
and comradeship are closer than ever be
fore. . , ...,. '
"That is what a really happy, marriage
consists of husband and wife being pals.
I think for the most part this compan
ionship Is strengthening If the wife can
find some little place in her husband's
business, or at least can have sufficient
understanding of it to nek intelligent
questions or make an occasional helpful
suggestion. , ''" ,
"No, don't quote me saying that I think
a woman should be the boss, for I don't
If her 'man' Is not hr superior, in busi
ness, If she can't' look up to him and re
spect him as the head of the firm, your
business partnership and your matri
monial par - srshlp will not be a success.
"But th s. are legitimate lines of work
in almost every business In which women
can take some part, and I find that
among the very happiest couples of my
acquaintance most of them are together
in business, and have this common fcond
outside the home as well as in it,
"They are like the great middle class
In France, where husband and wife work
together, and where unhappy marriages
and divorces are very few. These mar
ried business partners have a common in
terest, and it is a very strong bond that
holds them together. It often seems that
it's easier to get a divorce thin dissolve
a business partnership; when you have
to do both It is simpler to be reconciled,
Isn't it?" laughed Mrs. Feder.
"But, speaking seriously, I believe that
very woman should know something
about business, not only because It gives
her an Interest in life, but because the
gets so much better understanding of the
worries and troubles which her husband
has to endure day In and day out.
"If every wife could understand the
nervous strain Under .which the success
ful business man la forced to labor, the
competition he , has to meet, the disap
pointments and constant irritations of his
daily work, there would be fewer unsym
pthetio wives, lees nagging when the hus
band comes home, and more endeavor on
the part of the wife to make things pleas
ant, restful to make home a place where
her tired worker can recoup his forces
and get soma recreation.

"No girl can understand this unless
she has actually worked In the office
with her husband or seen some other
man struggle in the daily grind of busi
ness life.
"If girls had this experience there would
be less extravagance, I am sure, because
they would understand hftw hard It la to
earn money. And the natural conserva
tive elemenVwhich is part of the femi

"How can you expect a woman who
hasn't the faintest idea of the valuo
of a dollar, and who doesn't know how
difficult it is to earn one, to save that
dollar? -

to lavish anything they have on their
