II THEN BUY. : ; [ Jackson, Mgr. || Office: Ice Plant, jj , %w . . . c.^ Mary Gral AYMOND WELLMAN I 1 had voted for suffrage lw^ once and he Intended to I \ do so agaln- 11 was be* dftJ\ fore New York women had succeeded In obtalnlng the vote and ~ Raymond had always thoroughly approved of women. It was not that he fell In love frequently ?he had never been In love before, but still he considered that beside women, men counted for very little. Somehow women could even make more money than men?that is, wheu they did make money at all?and when they started out to work they were always successful. It was the day of the great suffrage parade. He stood on the densely crowded sidewalk and watched tb* women march by. And as he saw Mildred Aldricli march by, head erect, Ipading her di vision, Raymond's heart leaped and he felt as If a voice within him had suddenly proclaimed to all the marchers: "You're all splendid, every one of you, but there is one, Just one of you, who is everything in the world I" Mildred gave an informal supper at her studio after the parade. Mildred's parents were dead and she had come to New York to work her way. They had the Jolliest of times that evening, but after the others had- left Raymond lingered for a moment "May I stay?" he asked. And Mildred smiled her answer. She showed him a new baby's head she had just made for which she had received $500. For Mildred had already taken her place in the ranks of the leading sculptors and her woric commanded large sums. I Raymond started one topic of conversation after onther. Then he stopped abruptly. , "Oh, hang it all, Mildred," he exclaimed, "this is no way to do it, but you know I'm not well versed in tne art?and, anyhow?my point Is?I want to marry you!" "I've thought of this for a long time," said Mildred. "It's nonsense to pretend I'm surprised to hear what you've said." He leaned forward and took her hand. She wondered If he was going to kiss her, and he was wondering Just why he didn't seem to feel like kissing her. i "Well, I know you're tired, my dear," be said affectionately, "so I'll be on my way. You've had a big day and i'Ve naa a Digger vuv. "Good night," Mildred said In a lpw rolce. Raymond took her hand again and held It to his lips for a moment. They talked of Carrying after the war, for Raymond hiftl received his commission In the air service and was going abroad. When he returned, Just six months after peace had come, they both seemed to feel something missing in their feelings. Both knew they should be so glad, so gay, so happy, so telleved. Mildred fofcnd herself becoming nervous and Irritable. "Are you sure," she asked him one night with an Inexplicable expression In her eyes, "that you love me as much as you did?" JiTm quite sure," Raymond answered, but In his mind he was asking himself If he was just as fond of her as he had been. He felt he was?but really It was something else that was worrying him. He knew now that he had never been as fond of her as he might have been. He admired her so much, he loved to talk to her, but he never seemed to be able, now that tbe time grew closer, to think of her In his home as his wife, possibly as a mother. Mildred working, doing tremendously big things, Mildred making the loveliest of babies' heads In plaster, this was the Mildred he knew, but he couldn't picture Mildred with a baby of her own. He couldn't quite visualize It and he was annoyed at himself because he couldn't. They had settled on the date of their wedding?It would take place on the Fourth of July: They tilt It was the most significant date up'oh which they could be married, with their Ideas of Independence-and equality and liberty and democracy, at least Mildred had decided that. Raymond had been home two weeks when Mildred told him she bad-asked' her cousin, Elizabeth Irving, who lived"; In ,the west, -to Ijelp her In these lasf-j weeks. Elizabeth pad written sue would be delighted to come. She wafc1 expeetcd cow any day. ' ? ; "'Kaymcnd couhln't understand Mildred's interest In the'"details of. the. wedding. And as. he ^wondered, >the ? ? " ?*'. I I. K55S iffiOflial iam Bonner V S?j doubts once banished came hastening back. Sbe was tremendously engrossed In her life work?her artistry?and he realized It so forcibly now. He spent sleepless nights when he thought that he had missed his chance for happiness by making such a dreadful mistake In the main step of his life. Life could be so wonderful, so complete, he reflected, or It could be so woefully Incomplete and miserable. It was an unusually chilly day for May, when he went to her studio. Her cousin had just arrived. She was & striking contrast to Mildred, who was of statesaue beauty, tall and fair with clear, penetrating blue eyes. This girl was younger and rather short Her eyes were gray, her hair black and wavy, her skin dark with color which came and went "Here's Elizabeth Irving," Mildred Will salci, a- Iu.jmond entered. "Our cousin," she smiled. ' "I'm glad to welcome you here," be .said after a moment "I have to finish some work tonight," said Mildred, after they had finished tea. "I'm ever so sorry, as I did so want to see that play we nave tickets for. But I've been neglecting things so shamefully and I must settle down and get a little more work accomplished so I can take my holiday later! Why don't you take Beth In my place, Raymond ?" So It was decided upon and he stayed for dinner. Throughout the meal It seemed to. be thrust upon him | repeatedly how different this cousin i was, how strangely and Instantly he' felt himself drawn to her, and he felt disloyal and small and wretched. "Didn't I tell you she had Ideas tucked away?" asked Mildred laughing at a remark of Beth's. 4 They went to the play and as Raymond brought her home In the taxi he ? kept repeating to himself, "You won't _ make trouble here. You mustn't make " trouble here." He had always hated that situation known as the eternal triangle, yet here it was rearing itself before him. He shuddered. Somehow as be talked to this girl from the west he felt how close she was to him and he was filled with a longing to seize her and bold her very close and kiss her soft unruly hair, and those very red lips wl^ch he had already heard say some quite astonish, lng things. Why had hd never felt that way toward Mildred? he asked himself. Mildred seemed to grow busier as the days passed. Perhaps, Raymondreflected, she was patting him to a test, and he redoubled his efforts to be particularly affectionate and considerate. So it went on. The wedding was three weeks away. In a^few days the ^ invitations would be out Beth had been busy all one day addressing them, as had Mildred. In the evening he was going to help them. He arrived early and Beth opened the door. "Mildred Is out," she said. "Some one telephoned her. It was very urgent A child of a neighbor is dangerously 111 and they were at wits' ends and wanted Mildred to help them. She said she would be back in less than an hour. Shall we begin? Here are the lists. We've addressed a good many. These are the e&es Jor the church and here are the' cards for those who are to be asked here afterward." Their pens squeaked along for about 15 minutes. Neither had spoken. "You'll make her very happy, won't you?" asked Beth softly, with a tiny . break In her voice. "Mildred's the finest girl I know. And she has had a lonely sort of a -life, I think.'?.." _? ? "I hope I'll make her happy,"'he i answered, without'looking up. ? * i "She has seemed so different lately,". . Beth continued. "1 don't believe shg ' was called out tonight anywhere.
