MARRIAGE
MISS GERTRUDE, over poached
eggs, was "amazed." She opened
her lips, started to speak, closed
them. Marsha regarded her with
her chilly, quizzical eyes.
"Married at noon, you say?"
asked Aunt Gertrude, after a gasp.
"Yes."
"I wish I could be more certain,
Marsha, that It Is wise and kind (or
you to marry a good man "
"Perhaps he Isn't as good aa be
Beams," Marsha answered. "We can
always share that hope. No thank
you, Alice, I'll take nothing, I
think."
"Are you leaving town? Where are
you going lor your ah "
"Honeymoon, Aunt," put In Mar
sha; she added, "(rightful word,
Isn't It, (or a maiden lady who In
dulges in a certain sort of Imagina
tion?" Miss Gertrude bridled; grew rigid.
: "I'll rather miss heckling you,
dear," Marsha admitted. She rose
then, with a murmured plea to be
excused. She had her packing to do
and she was quite through with her
breakfast, which bad consisted of
two cups of black coffee. She waa not
nervous, nor excited, she assured
herself, but the thought of food and
trying to eat It had made her (eel
"odd."
"Jean will help you," said Mlsa
Gertrude.
"Why, thank you," said Marsha.
She looked her surprise. Alone, Mlsa
Gertrude, who usually ate method
ically and steadily of her substan
tial first meal, sat motionless (or
some long minutes.
She wished, (or the first time, that
her relation with her niece had dif
fered. "I am not to blame! 1 was
sever to blame!" she said aloud, to
tne amazement of Alice who entered
the room at that moment She had
bad, Miss Gertrude reasoned on, and
as her (rlends agreed, a momentous
task In the rearing of her niece. "No
one could have done more!" she
thought. "No one!"
VET the strange feeling o( hollow-
nesa that filled her prevailed,
and despite her strong certainty tbat
she had never (or one second been
at fault In any difference tbat had
been between her and her niece.
She dawdled over her eating.
Alice watched her covertly and anx
iously; ibe knew her mistress'
obedience to hour and to the con
duct It required.
Marsha, In her mod decided to
wear the Polret gray; Jean waa
packing her trunks and over-night
bag. She bad always bated ber sleep
ing roem, which bad been Inflexibly
and awkwardly arranged by Miss
Gertrude, who had said, "No ar
rangement that 1 make In my house,
of my furniture, shall ever, while I
live, be varied!"
But looking around the room,
Marsha had from It a sense of
safety (or, even though you started
disillusioned, marriage was a voy
age which took you no one knew
where!
She did not even know where she
was going physically with Bob,
when he waa her husband. He bad
said, the night before: "You want
Doctor James to marry us?"
And she had said, "If you don't
mind," at which he had laughed
that full, short laugh which tells of
a heart over-brimming with happi
ness and to which he had said. "I
don't think, my dear, I shall mind
marrying you very much!"
Then, to his question of where she
wanted to go she had answered she
didn't care and he had offered to
arrange the matter entirely. If she
would like.
Dressed, she stood Defore a long
mirror. She looked aa well as she
ever had In spite of the long, wake
ful night; pallor and shadowed eyes
heightened her beauty rather than
diminished It.
Well, she waa ready for It; the
definite step she waa taking. And
again the stiff, untried wings of ber
new soul stretched. "I dust keep
It from hurting him I" she thought
fervently. "It must not hurt him!"
Miss Gertrude appeared at the
door. "It Is lime we leave," she
aald.
DOCTOR JAMES said. "But of
course you want to be married
In the church!" Marsha found It

to laugh.
The day that had dawned so sulk
ily waa cold and crisp and bright;
the sunlight, sifting through a
stained-glass window, laid a pattern
of softened color upon the chancel
floor,
Marsha had said, "I will," and she
felt Bob's hand beneath her arm and

of thought which sllta through a
numbing pain; "how quite absurd

And It waa over. She waa Mrs.

tional 25 workers, bringing the staff
to about 150 with a monthly payroll
exceeding (22,000. Likewise, accord
ing to Sick, the present monthly out
lay of $40,000 for supplies, Including
malt, hops, grits, bottles, cases and
other requisites, will be materially
Increased.
