Then 1 rralisid that she was trying to tell me that Miss Daniels was at breakfast. "Je eomprend." I assured her and began scribbling a note on

my card.

"Barrington Metre wants us to know each other.” I wrote. "We are stranded and the prospect of sleeping on a bench In the park seems none too bright. Do you know a sympathetic

It certainly was a forlorn reception to receive In the "gajest city in the world." Curtiss remained standing on the sidewalk looking at the numerous pieces of luggage which Crowded the spare on top and overflowed into the drivers seat below. The chauffeur began to grow restless and demanded his next directions from me. "Well, there only one thing I can think of to do." 1 finally said. "I have a card with Ellen, Daniels' address on It. given to| me by Barrington Pierce.

Studio Tea

It was while we were at breakfast that we firs! discovered that Ellen Daniels had rhanged her name. This she had done upon her arrival In Paris several years before when she had begun to study for her operatic career. "At home I was Just plain Ellen." she explained, "and I did quite a few things und>r my own

I'll never make you another." she threatened. In a playful show of anger. "I didn't have any guests and lK*sldes it Isn't a w -ek old. Only three days. We'll have It now. What do you say.

For Instance. 1 think a woman is much more charming as the years add their wealth of knowledge, wit and philosophy and wisdom. Flappers are irritating - like the measles." I thought of Ellie Mitchell who had admitted that she was using all of her wiles to attract the young mutirlan. She was typical of the modem debutante with all the mannerisms of a flapper. ! "According to that. then, you , evidently don't think a girl is 'done for' when she gets married." this eagerly. “You'ry much too clever to .think any such thing, yourself." he answered, "a woman Isn't worth talking tr until she's mar- ! tied or had some affair which has fired her heart and her senses. I'ntll then she's flagrantly shallow. not well rounded on any i subject — and lacking the ' rapacity c r feeling any deep emotion. Every experience through which you pass.

"No.” he continued, "marriage Isn't the *am» overwhelming proposition it was in our grandmother's day. .Thank God. Instead of stlfillng a girl's individuality it gives her a now alertness and clearer perception." • That's all very well for Mr. Other-Man's wife but would you feel the same way alxml it If you were married? That's the age-old question." "I myself can never contemplate matrimony." he said slowly, "with my work It would be rtilnous.

Mr. Merchant---meet Mrs. Housewife

She docs more buying, by fir. than her husband and she is a shrewd buyer, too. She is constantly on the lookout for moneysaving opportunities and is quick to take advantage of them. While she is anxious to find a bargain, she is just as anxious for quality in that which she purchases. This is the reason Mrs. Housewife is a Regular Reader of the TIMES Classified Department. Cape May County's Greatest and Most Important Market Place. It is also the chief reason why hundreds of Cape May County merchants and business men regularly use the columns of the TIMES Classified Department to tell about their service and merchandise. The Merchant or Business Man who does not advertise weekly in that unusual Department is neglecting the most economical medium of reaching the County's greatest buying power.
