But now, so potent is the power of present happiness to banish the mem- ory of past pain, the terrible suffer- ing I underwent while Dicky was in 8an Francisco, estranged from me, seems like an awful nightmare from which I have awakened. The suffering of those weeks will not be wasted, however. It has been given me to know in these last bliss- ful days that if ever again in my life with Dicky I am tempted to rebel, as I have so often done, against hia impetuous temper, his unreasoning Jealousy, I shall remember the anguish of those weeks of separation from my husband and heed the lessons of forbearance they have taught me. The Days in Retrospect. ‘Through my mind there float the memb0ries of the old days, the first year of our married life together, when every happening held a pos- sibility of a quarrel because of the great difference between Dicky's ar- tistic temperament and my ‘school- me’am” ways. With Lilian Under- wood now even more my friend than Dicky’s, happy in the possession of her long-lost baby girl, restored to her through the death of her first husband, whose mother she is caring for. With Harry Underwood gone— perhaps never to return—on a trip to SBouth America with my father— whose use of the name “Robert Gor- don” still mystifies me. With Dicky's mother on a visit to her daughter. Jack Bickett, my cousin-brother, Joyful in his new-found love for Katherine Sonnot, whom he met ‘when he was recovering from a wound recelved. “somewhere in France.” Dr. Pettit—whose thoughts of love for me used to trouble me—safely my good friend now. Grace Draper— who had trted to destroy my happi- ness in Dicky so often that her very pame seemed like a sword banging over my happiness—now gone out of our lives. With many of the problems of that ecstatically happy, and as fre- qQuently miserable, first phase of our married life behind us, the future seems to promise much of joy for Dicky and for me. It is a week today since Dicky ‘brought me home—home to the firelit ‘warmth, the homely comfort of the old farmhouse at Marvin. And with the exception of one afternoon when ‘Wwe Went up to the city—I to give my ‘weekly Ml&!'y talk to the Lotus Study club, he to attend to some necessary studio affairs—I have hardly been out of my husband’'s sight. We have walked and talked, esiten and drunk, read and played, always together, an exquisite companionship that will al- ways be a precious memory. Is Dicky Getting Restless? For marriage has taught me that days such as these have been are ‘white days, rare gems in one’s rosary of time, only comparable in bliss to the days of one's betrothal and mar- riage, They are deliclate things, too, so fragile that a word, even a look, at the wrong time will mar them— days to be guarded zealously that their sweetness and fragrance may be preserved intact. My life with Dicky has taught me other things, also, among them the evanescent and effervescent spirit of the man I married. He tires of any situation quickly, becames very easily bored. For that reason I have been watching him carefully to detect the first sign of restlessness on his part. The ‘fetters that bind Dicky to matri- mony must bé silken, so fine that he does not detect their presence. It is for this reason that this morning I pleaded the excuse of household duties and did not ac- company Dicky on the walk he pro- posed. I may be mistaken, but it seemed to me that there was some- thing in his manner when he suggested the walk that spelled restlessness to me. If I am right, if he is beginning to tire ever so slightly, even though unconsciously, of this rusttic idyl of ours, then it is high time for me to devise some tactful method of getting back to the ordinary verities of life. I have sat by the living/room fire ever since Dicky went, taking stock of myself and of the problems which have come to me since my marriage, trylng to discover wherein I have falled or have succeeded as a wife. The pitfals have been many in the year just past. I realize that God WOMEN SUFFERERS NEED SWAMP-ROOT Thousands upon thousands of wom- en have kidney and bladder trouble nd never suspect it. ‘Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing eise but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder dis- ease. It the kidneys aré not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pailu in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be de- spondent and {irritable. Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr, Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician’s prescription, obtain at any drug store, restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

From the vantage point of experi- ence I have gained. I look back Wwith tender, amused pity upon the girl 1 was & year ago, the girl, who, sneer- ing at marriage, afraid of it, totally unfitted to cope with its problems, had yet for love staked her whole future, her very life in the lottery of matrimony. And I ask one question of that girl, who was myself: “If you could have looked into the troubled days that were before Yyou would you have risked marriage with Richard Graham?” I do not need to wait for the answer, I have weighed the question carefully many time. I know, “be- yond all doubting, = truly” that my husband is the one man in the world for me, that my love for him has outweighed all the suffering. One other thing I know as I rise to my feet and/ go to meet my hus- band. It is t the words which rushed to my lips upon my wedding day, “I will be happy! I willl I wilt” were not the ones I should have ut- tered. It is another prayer, a better augury of the unknown paths still to be charted ,that I am whispering no . “Please God, I will make Dicky happ Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

The film is said to be an exceptionally good at- traction. It is a well balanced drama with a story working up to climaxes with logical sequence. A capable cast supports the stars and the story s given an admirable interpretation. The latest episode Teleased in ‘“The o News For Theatergoers and Women Readers i o B Since 1854—Quaker Ranges have been rightly termed “The Housewife’s Friend”’--there must have been merit as the basis for such success- ' ful range building, as The Quaker Sales show- ing has been one of gains year after year. It is not to be expected that you buy a new range very often, but it is-absolutely certain that you owe it to yourself and the content- ment of mind, to enjoy the best baking facili- - _ties that can be furnished. That’s where the Quaker Range stands supreme, re- liable, serviceable and eco- nomical, really you can’t afford to risk the choiceof a different range. Everything that helps Mystery of the Double Cross” is to be another feature of tonight's program. ‘There are other good numbers on the photoplay billT The Marco Twins furnish the prin- cipal vaudeville offering.

That Voice of Yours 'w often the spell of beauty 1is y broken by coarse loud talking! How -often you are irresistably drawn to a plain unassuming woman whose soft silvery tones rénder her posi- tively attractive! In the social circle how pleasant it is to hear a woman talk in that low key which always characterizes the true lady.”—Lamb. Two young grls standing in front of me in a trolley the other day were talking to each other in a perfectly natural manner. Their volces were pleasant natural young volces. A third girl, who was evidently known to one of these girls but not to the other, got on the car. She greeted her friend and was duly in- troduced to the other girl. They Talked As If They Had Hot Potatoes In Their Mouths, ‘The three then took up the conversa- tion but oh, what a difference there was in the manner of the first two! It I had had my eyes shut I would have known that something had happened. All their pleagant natural tones were gone. They talked, as & mascu- line friend of mine who detests affec- tation, puts it “as if they had hot po- tatoes in their mouth: What a flexible thing the voice is! And what an excelient index to character, and perfonality and edu- cation! ; £ Constructing the Person From the Sound of His Voloce. It is interesting to sit in a trolley car and listen to people talking be- hind you and construct the type of person from the voice. And how sel- dom you are entirely migtaken! Did you ever, for instance, find one of those rough, uneducated, uncontrolled voioes dressed in anything but the latest and loudest and cheapest of styles? Sometimes however, the voice stands for & past rather than a pres- ent personality. You know what they say about the eves and mouth,—the mouth shows what you are, the eyes what you might have been. In the same way, I think you will occasionally find people whose voices still reflect the good blood and good upbringing from which they themselves have fal- len away. His Voice Refused to Forget. For instance, I know a man who over the telephone impresses you most favorably. His voice is s0 charm- ing and he has that rare gift,—a laugh you long to hear again. When you see him you find a loose lipped, rather coarse face, & heavy flabby body and & general suggestion of the taint of grossness. I asked someone about his history and found that he was from a splendid family. The voice alone re- fused to forget. A good voice is the besat of intro- ductions to any society. Add to this & good carriage, good grooming and poise of manner and you need not dread that bugbear of so many of us, ~——meeting new people. And the best of it is that none of these things are like our faces,— thrust upon us. They are things we can get for ourselves, if we will, in its fullest sense.
