The Married Life of
Helen and Warren
Wirren'i Sunday Night Orgy of Soft
Clams Is. Followed by Acute
Indigestion.
"But, dear, there's all that cold
lamb and salad," persisted Helen.
"And I'll open a can of peaches for
that sponge cake she made yester
day." "Nothing doing!" grumpcd War
ren, with a yawning stretch after his
Sunday afternoon nap. "I feel like
a real meal. Let's go to that chop
house Mumford told us about."
"We can go Thursday it's her
.afternoon off. Dear, we had such a
late dinner. We won't want much
tonight and it's so disagreeable out."
"Stopped raining, hasn't it?" He
Mrode over to the library window.
"Got to dress? Well, get busy." ig
noring her arguments for .1 home
supper.
"And there's a can of those spiced
sardines," as a last appeal.
"Now we're going out, I tell you.
Stop your stalling and get ready.
Don't dawdle it's after six now."
.,. In her own room, Helen dressed
with reluctant haste. It seemed such
a waste to spend five or six dollars
for a Sunday evening supper when
Cora had left everything all ready
to put on the table.
"Oh, yes, I'll feed you before we
go," impatiently, as 1'ussy Purr Mew,
anticipating bring left alone, set up
an insistent mew for her supper.
;"You never think of anything but
food either of you," glancing at
Warren's photograph that stood back
if her silver brushes.
"Dressed, she fallowed Pussy Purr
Mew's lead to the kitchen. ITavimr
CUt a sliver from the cold lamb, she
placed the joint in the ice box.
There were those carrots and peas

that rice pudding from last night

T.What're you up to out here? ' de
manded Warren from the doorway
''Thought I told you we were going

-'I was feeding Pussy Purr Mew,'
-resentfully. "Just look in this ice
box. There's enough for two sup

"Now that's about cukurIi from
you. Clamp on your lid and coma.

"Where is this place? Are you

Helen when they came out into th:
fmn wmav husk.
wWe'll take a chance. Mumforo
iays it's A-1. They make a special
ty "of sea food. Best soft clams in
New York."
A 15-minute ride in the subway
brought them to a downtown whole
. sale district, now closed and de
serted. "Why. dear, there's nothing open
around here," viewing the great
black show winodws lit only by the
eflectcd street lamps.
"It's the next strcrt. Come on."
turning a corner. "Ah, see those
lights down there? Told you it was
1 good place. Look at those cars."
Before the light-studded sign stood
iaU a dozen motors, the. only vehi
cles in the dim. silent street.
Warren yielding his hat and cane
0' the check boy, tliev filtered a
Urge room ablaze with lights and
rlamorous with a denfcnuitt din.

"Two, sir?'' Hr: '- herd waiter
hurried up. "Right this way."
He led them back to a most unde
sirable table near a swinging door,
through which rushed a steady
jtream of perspiring waiters.
,'This the best yo ....1 do?'
;i , iirrrn.
"S;;-r sir, but we're crowded to
l!ght. If vou care to wait "
Helen knew that Warren never
'waited" for a table. If he could
not get what he wanted he invaria
bly stalked out. But this was the
snly place open in the neighborhood,
and that fact had a chastening ef
fect. "We'll make this do ""as he sat
down. "Have this mess cleared off."
"Right away, sir.' 'summoning an
i amnions to reset the table.
Uear. it s sttning. mere isu 1 a

. "But they certainly do the busi
ness," glancing about. "They've got
to serve good food to get this crowd
wav down here on a Sunday night."
"Couldn't you ask them to open
t .window "or a ventilator or some
thing?" ,
But Warren was already intent
apon the menu.
"Steamed soft clams that s what
you want to order here. "We'll have
some soup first how about chicken
ockra?"
"Oh. no. dear, let s not have soup,'
economically. "We had such a late
dinner and those clams, are so rich.
That's all we'll need."
"Not by a long shot. I'm hungry.
Now. let's see what vegetable?"
"Your order been taken, sir?" a

"Not yet. w c 11 nave two cmcken

indicating the special at the top of
'the menu. "How about your as-
paragus?"
,"Very fine, sir. With Hollandaise
or butter sauce?"
. "Hollandaise. And some tomato
salad. Want them quartered not
sliced."
- With an effort Helen kept back her
protest at this needless extravagance.

She had learned that any attempt to
restrain Warren's gastronomic dis
sipations only exasperated him to
further expenditures.
"A dollar and a quarter a portion
for soft clamsl Dear, that's exorbi
tant. I thought restaurants were
coming down?"
"That is pretty stiff but it doesn't
seem to phase this bunch."
"Oh, it's so noisy and glary why
don't they shade these lights?"
"Now, don't start kicking. Wait
'til we get the grub that's the at
traction here. Ah, here wc arel" as
the waiter brought on a silver tureen.
Helen had to admit that the soup
was delicious. I was thick with
gluey ockra and cubes of chicken,
mostly white meat.
I hen came the clams two heap
ing, napkin-covered platters, two
saucers of melted butter, and two
cups of the clam juice, smoking hot.
"Oh, dear, what a waste! , One
portion would have been plenty."
"Not much! I can put away all of
mine." Then extricating one from
its shell, he dipped it in the melted
butter. "Jove, those are the real
thing 1"
"But they're so rich. I -wouldn't
use too much of that bntter sauce.
You've just got over one spell of in
digestion." "Stop your croaking and pitch in.
Best things you ever ate."
They were deliriously fresh and
plump. Gingerly Helen drew them
from the shell by their muscular ap
pendage, unpleasantly suggesthe of
a corpulent worm.
"Dip them in your butter," War
ren, reminded her.
"I never like mcclted butter in a
restaurant." But she found it not
in the least strong, apparently the
same grade that was served on the
table.
"Charge enough here but they
fiive you good stuff," approved War
ren. "Mumford says this man goes
to market every morning himself
buys the very best."
Only half of her clams disposed
of, Helen pushed back her plate.
"Not through? Well, shove 'em
over. I can finish 'em up all right."
"Warren, you'll be sick! You don't
realize how rich they are."
"Nonsense, good fresh food like
this can't hurt you," scooping them
onto his plate. "I'm jiot going to
pass up anything as good as these."
Every shell emptied, he next dis
patched the asparagus, also enriched
with a creamy Hollandaise sauce.
Then came the quartered tomatoes
011 crisp romaine, well coated with
French dressing.
"What'rc you sulking about?
You're not eating anything at all."
"I'm not sulking. I told you I
wasn't hungry not after that heavy
dinner at half-past one. We could've
come here Thursday. It's such a
waste "
"Now we've heard all that before.
If you 'weren't hungry, I was. I
wanted some real food and you cer
tainly get it here."
"And pay for it, too," was Helen's
under-her-breath comment when she
Rlimpsed the total of the check
$5.70.
Usually food had a gcnializing ef
fect ,upon Warren. He was never
so amiable as after a hearty meal
his 'after-dinner mood" Helen al
ways termed it. But occasionally he
over-ate and with disastrous results.
Hardly had they emerged into the
damp, starless night when his scowl
ing silence proclaimed that his din
ner had been too much.
"Dear, let's walk a few blocks.
The air will be good for you maybe
you can walk it off." .
"Walk what off?" irrascibly.
"Why, you ate so much I thought
you felt a little indegstion."
"Never felt better in my life!"
But as they walked on, his gloomy
silence belied his words.

Tour complexion is not merely

than that. It is In that part of the
skin immediately underneath the

which merely affect the outer layer
are as a rule very ineffectual. A
method gaining wide use because
of its tremendous success lies In
the use of alntone, a powder which
Is mixed at home with a llttla
glycerine and dissolved in water.
This makes an exquisite cream.
The alntone can be secured at any
drug store In one-ounce packages.
This is also a very economical
method. By liberal use of this

"Any drug stores open arouifd
here?" he demanded suddenly.
"I hardly think so," peering down
the black, wholly deserted street.
"But we've some pepsin tablets at
home."
"Who said anything about pepsin
tablets?" explosively.
Then as a rattling taxi swirled the
corner, he raised his cane with a
brusque,
"Hi, there!"
"Oh, we don't want a taxi the
subway's right here."
"Now, you get in there and shut
upl" thrusting her into the car.
As the taxi chugged on, Warren
sank back into the corner, stubborn
ly maintaining his morose silence
until they drew up before their door
way. "Five seventy for the dinner and a
dollar eighty for the taxi," mentally
computed Helen as tRcy went up in
the elevator. Seven fifty for the
privilege of over-eating in a stuffy
glaring, noisy restaurant!
She was turning on the lights in
the library, when there came a crash
of glass from the bathroom.
"just one of those confounded bot
tles," growled Warren, when she
rushed to the door. "You've got
this so chuck full of rubbish you
can't find anything. Where in blares
are those pepsin tablets??"
"Right here," finding the small vial
in the crowded medicine chest.
"Now. Warren, you'd better drink
some hot water and go right to bed."
As she brushed up the broken glass
and wiped up the fragrant hair ton
ic, the remains of a new bottle, Helen
added another dollar and a quarter
tj that evening's expenses.
And it was all the result of War
ren's gastronomic. greed. Their sim
ple, wholesome, home supper would
have saved him eight seventy-five
and an attack of churlish indigestion.

SIMPLE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS
There is one simple, safe snd sure way
way that never fails to get rid of black
hesds and that is to dissolve them.
To do this set two ounces of ealonite
powder from any drug sore sprinkle a
little on a hot, wet sponge rub over the
blackheads briskly wash the parts and
you will be surprised how, the blackheads
have disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads! no matter where they are, sim
ply dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads are simply a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores of the skin. Pinching
and squeezing only cause irritation, make
large pores and do not get them out after
they become hard. The ealonite powder and
the water simply dissolve th bUekheads
so they wash right out, leaving the pores
free and clean and in their natural con
dition. Anyone troubled with these un
sightly blemishes should certainly try this
simple method. -

Everyone Gossips;
Here Are Some
Rules
To try and carry on any sort of
light conversation or small talk with
our friends and never indulge in dis
cussion or comments on mutual
friends is something almost impossi
ble to do. We simply can't discuss
the weather all the time. The war
proves a gloomy topic at best and
too often leads to unpleasant dis
cussion. The only solution to the
question is to make for ourselves
certain rather definite rules limiting
our gossip for we might as well
admit that every one who has a nor
mal interest in his fellows enjoys
som'e sort of gossip.
Here is one of the first rules:
Never recount anything of a per
sonal nature that you have learned
about another person as that per
son's guest. That is the first and
most important rule binding host
arfd guest. Yet a good many people
addicted to the less desirable sort
of gossip get a good many of thar
"choicest bits" when sheltered tinder
another person's roof.
Don't Repeat Servants' Talk.
Never recount anything that you
have learned from a servant or from
any one employed in the home of
another person. Seamstresses and
women who go about doing various
sorts of hairdrr ssing1 and massage
often become neighborhood plagues
because of the fund of gossip that
they have derived in the houses of
the persons they work for. In the
first place the well bred person does
not listen to this sort of gossip. It
is always possible to refuse to hear
personalities. But if you have list
ened don't show yourself doubly ill
bred by recounting it to another.
There are certain legitimate chan
nels for learning interesting things
about . your friends and neighbors,
and such bits of information arc
usually of the pleasantest sort and
only add to friendliness in repeating.
What wc learn through the channels
of usual social intercourse, what we
observe in club and society is usually

bthind drawn curtains watching to
see how often certain callers step up
to their front porch or how often
the doctor comes when there is ill
ness in the family, then we are tak
ing unfair means.
Make Two Divisions.
It really is perfectly possible to di
vide what we know about our
friends, relativer and acquaintances
into two very distinct categories, that
which we keep in confidence and that
which we may feel free to mention to
others. Women sometimes say that
they are unable to make these dis
tinctions r.nd'that in spite of them
selves they r ount secrets and con
fidences if they knew them.
Just imagine what a world we
would live in if everyone was con
stituted in the same wayl Suppose
the lawyer told everything he knew
about his client, or ran the risk of
telling every time you mentioned the
client to him! Suppose the doctor
told all he learned in his inner of
fice, or the priest or clergyman in
the sanctum of his study or the con
fessional! These people actually ac
quire the faculty of forgetting or at
least stowing away certain bits of in
formation. And the w'oman who
runs the risk of malicious gossiping
can learn to do the same.

work, while the balance were em

SNAP UP THIS CHANCE.
The newspaper that is the organ of the so-called
"allied" slate is conspicuously failing to supportOne
of the candidates on that slate, Roy N. Towl of the
South Side.
There is a lyirrid rumor about town that Mr.
Towl, who is a civil engineer and a very good one,
once did some work, in the practice of his profession,
for one of the public service corporations. That per
haps would be sufficient to damn him in the eyes of
a newspaper that is a demagogue by instinct and
daily practice and that thrives by frothing at the
mouth whenever the name of a corporation is men
tioned. However that may be, men who know the candi
dates are aware that there is not, on either slate, a
cleaner, more capable or more deserving aspirant
than Roy N. Towl.
Mr. Towl isn't a politician. ' Re doesn't know
anything about politics, except that, as an intelligent
man and a good citizen, he takes a lively interest in
public affairs and votes for the principles and can
didates of his choice on election day. As an Omaha
man from his childhood, he has taken an especially
keen interest in this city, and has given freely of
his time and ability to help improve it and push it
along on the road to greatness. I
By his own unaided efforts Mr. Towl has worked
his way well toward the top of his profession. He
has experienced the hard life and hard knocks of
4 the railroad .construction camps. In spite of educa
tional handicaps in early youth, he worked his way
' into and through the Armour Institute at Chicago.
He came out of it technically well equipped as an
engineer. In varied and successful practice since
he has gained the experience that gives him excep
tional qualification to serve Omaha: as a member of
the city commission.
Mr. Towl is still a young man, and is not so well
known to the people of Omaha asmre a number of
other candidates. It is to be regretted that he labors
. under this handicap, for if all Omaha knew Mr. Towl
as his friends and acquaintances know him his elec
tion by a large majority would be a foregone con
clusion. One has only to see Mr. Towl to become prepos
sessed in his favor. He is clean-cut and clean looking.
v Talk to him for a few minutes and you will become
, aware that he is as clean in mind and heart as in
external appearance. He has a vigorous, alert, well
. balanced mind is a thoughtful man, of good judg
ment. His character is without blemish. He is re
liable. If you had a private business as extensive
as that of the city of Omaha, and required an expert
engineer who was at the same time a man of all
around ability to help attend to it, you would engage
Towl's services without hesitation at the salary the
city will pay him and know that you had made an
excellent bargain.
And it is usually private businesses that absorb
and monopolize the services of men of the Towl type.
They don't know how to appeal for public favor.
They are not adept in running for public office.
They don't know how to tickle the fancy of the mul-
titude with little tricks and loud charges and sweep
ing promises. The public, therefore, too often loses
or foregoes the chance to engage such an official,
and he makes his way into private practice and pri
vate employment that offers more liberal emolu
ments. The World-Herald sincerely hopes that the people
of Omaha will not pass by this chance. It is an ex
ceptional chance. If you doubt it, take the pains to
inquire. Ask the opinion of any man who knows
Roy Towl and has had dealings with him.
Re-Elect Roy Towl City Commissioner
