Londen, B.C, 4, I arte "The Wite"' By Jane Phelps CHAPTER VIL It was ry brave Httle bride who made her responses in a clear musgieal voice and who accepted the congratulations of her friends As Ruth lcoked at her stalwart, hand- some husband, she had no thought of fear, no misgivings as to the fu- ture. Then at the only intimates breakfast, to which had been invited, she was gally happy. She had trustfully given herself to Brian Hackett, hav- ing absolutely no realization of what that giving meant. When the parting finally came, ter the big trunks containing her extensive wardrobe had gone, Ruth shed a few tears as she clung to her aunt---the woman who had been mother, father, evervthing to her. And whom she had displeased by mariying Brian Hackett. Noi that Mrs. Clayborne showed her displeasure; fhe was too tho- roughly a woman of the world to show her feelings But Ruth knew it, and the fact tinged her happiness ever so little, while it did not ma-~ terially affect her. But, when, as the train sped north, and in the seclusion of the drawing room, Brian took her in his arms and murmured: "My precious little wife," got everything save that she was with him, and that she was happy. Atlantie City was their Mecca for their honeymoon. There, by the sea, they would learn to know eaeh oth- er in a way that had been impossible to them in Brian's infrequent yjsits south. Ruth was delighted. She was ilke a child in her joy at everything she saw and did. Brian was delighted to see the envious glances cast upon him ag he walked beside his superb- ly gowned bride. Delighted, too, because she was so wholly intérested in him, that there was no room for jealousy. ~ -- af- she for- RUTH MADDEN AND BRIAN HACKETT ARE MARRIED had no faintest notion of bride's trousea had cost. Had +t it might have frightened him and taken a bit from the pride with which he regarded her, and the admiration she evoked. That it re- presented far more than he earned in a year, is a fact that would have seemed almost unbelievable to him. Women's clothes, thels cost, was a sealed book "to him. He had left home early; his parents were in such humble circumstances that he real- ly had had no opportunity to learn anything of the cost of feminine "fol-de-rols"""--as 'he called every- thing from Ruth's dainty slippers to her expensive hats and parasols. 80, as "ignorance is bliss," he was blissfully unconscious of what it had cost to clothe his stylish wife, and he walked on, or rode on the board walk with her, as happy as a bride- groom very much in love with his bride could be. IAnd Ruth! just to see him, with him, the changing colors re- flected in the water----to listen to the swish of the tides as they rolled out and in--just to watch the sun sink rosily crimson behind the clouds, their edges touched with vio- let and gold---was, to her, intense delight Her artistic nature revel- ed in the beauties of the sea, and she would exclaim, in her joy, when gazing at them: 1 could stay you and watch sky!" "I should have to have a pretty big bank roll to let you spend your life at Atlantic City," Brian once replied, figuring in his mind how much longer they could possibly re- main Ruth was not any more eco nomlical over ordering food and extras, than she had been in buying clothes. And, at times, it was real- ly hard for Brian. He wanted to curb her, to tell her they could not afford all the delicacies of the table, rian wh be with the here forever the water and and that she ought not to patronize the smari shops on the board walk But it is not easy to tell a bride of a week those things, especially when she does it all as a matter of course. To Ruth, it was only natural te or der what she wanted to eat; or, she some lovely trinket in i hop, to run and buy it was money if not to She would doubtless have + had. she been questioned. » & little before the proposed two weeks were up. Brian pleaded a business call and they ieft for New York, their future home. "Time we did, too!" Brian mut- tered as he looked at his slim rol after he had paid his bill. "Hardly enough left to get to New York. 1 should have known hetter than to come here.' "How I hate to go, dear," Ruth said, as she packed their belongings after calling for a maid to assist her. "I should love to stay. We must run down here often. You know, I never have been by the sea before, and I fascinates me." "Yes, we'll run down occasion: ally," Brian returned as, at a motion from Ruth, he fished up a fifty cent piece for the maid and grudgingly gave It to her. He must tell Ruth that they couldn't afford to give many tips. Ruth, not knowing the thoughts running through Brian's mind, chat- ted. on unconcernedly. She was all ready, and' proposed that they take one more turn on the board walk before they left. "All right, dear, mn for, come on." And, linking arms, they walked for an hour saying good-bye' to the sea, as Ruth quaintly expressed it. "Good-bye, and--good riddance!" irlan muttered to himself, as she thought of his depleted roll.

That glamourous something which made each so desirable in the eyes of the other, has become a broken dead thing and they are both im- patient to get away from its tomb. Their beautiful vessel of live is broken--they will patch it together again no doubt, but the cracks will always be there. They will both know that it is a broken vessel to be handled carefully, lest it fall apart again. I doubt if it will hold again the pure water of sincerity or stand against the fires of adversity--it is only a broken vessel, broken one day while moving.

The new umbrellas, however, are just as pretty as were their parasol predecessors, They are of the most brilliant or subdued colors, green, blue, winé, red, brown, gold or purple, with or without a fancy border. The: handles, of course, are the short stubby snes which really are sensible, and are held comfortably on the arm by a hoop of cord, ribbon or a ring handle of ivory or celluloid. About the only mew parasols sold now are those for little girls, or the tiny motorcar sunshades. HOSIERY AND SHOE SHADES Mahogany and Chocolate Among Pope ular Colers--Matching Requires Careful Attention. If you have a new palr of mahogany or chocolate oxfords or walking pumps, be sure to take them--or one of the pair at least----with you when you se lect stockings to accompany your new footwear. It is positively bewildering to note how many shades of mahogany and chocolate the stocking munufacturers seem to have achieved this season. And no colér--save perhaps blue--is so hard to "carry in one's eye" as a shade of brown. There are reddish brown stockings and purplish brown ones, and yellow. ish brown ones, and without the leath- er footgear as guide it 1s extremely difficult to pick out the exact shade re- quired. In watching the shoes to stockings also remember to slip your hand--bare, not gloved--inside the stocking to get the effect of the sheer weave over the skin. So delicate are some of the new shades that the mere addition of the flesh tone beneath will prevent a good match in stocking and shoe. It 1s usuaily well to buy tan or brown silk stockings a little darker than one needs, for some of the color is apt to come out in the first washin Such stockings should be washed and should not be rubbed on a board, and they should be hung In the shade to dry. well ne Without Sleeves.
