Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1923 by Publishers Autocaster Service Sallie's Father Takes Her in Hand "What's the matter, father? Has anything happened? You haven't heard from Curtiss, have you?" I questioned, with swift alarm at his unexpected appearance at the dance. "Nothing has happened, Sallie," he replied in a calm and reassuring voice, "but I want you to do something for me." "Of course I will. What is it, Daddy dear?" "Would you mind coming home with me now instead of later with Ted? I've been doing a lot of thinking since our little chat" "But, Father, it's so exciting having the admiration of men and Curtiss is always indifferent—now that he's so absorbed in his work." "But, Father, it's so exciting having the admiration of men and Curtiss is always indifferent—now that he's so absorbed in his work." "All right, Dad, I'll meet you in a jiffy," I flung over my shoulder as I hurried towards the stairs. "Tell Ted we're going, if you can find him. He's probably parked with some pretty girl a mile from the place!" Reaching home, we made our way to my father's study, which was a privilege extended only on occasions of state. He sat in an arm chair beside his desk, while I comfortably ensconced myself on the sofa, and thoughfully studied the smoke-rings of my cigarette. "First of all, I want you to realize that I'm not preaching or attempting a lecture, my dear," he began, "it's just that I've been thinking about you constantly since you've been home and I believe the time has come for me to tell you some fundamental truths that can only be acquired by a familiar and lengthy acquaintance with Life." I caught the seriousness of his thought and realized that only an important message would have made him so grave. I at once became a part of his mood. "I'm going to do something that I've seldom done. I'm going to criticize your judgment in leaving Curtiss at a time when he needs your co-operation most. Shirking your duty (no matter how unpleasant it may be) will never lead to happiness." He paused for a nod of understanding, which I gave. Then he continued, in a voice unspeakably kind. "Then, too, Sallie, I can't agree with you about going around unchaperoned with Ted. You wouldn't want Curtiss to have engagements with girls." "Curtiss wouldn't look at another girl. I've never thought of such a thing and besides he doesn't care about parties and er-god times." "Yes, I know your argument, Bambina, I've heard all you modern wives on the subject, before, but I don't think it's quite fair and besides Ted's a pretty bad sort; the men at the club call him the 'young matron's delight.'" needs your co-operation most. Shirking your duty (no matter how unpleasant it may be) will never lead to happiness." He paused for a nod of understanding, which I gave. Then he continued, in a voice unspeakably kind. "Then, too, Sallie, I can't agree with you about going around unchaperoned with Ted. You wouldn't want Curtiss to have engagements with girls." "Curtiss wouldn't look at another girl. I've never thought of such a thing and besides he doesn't care about parties and er-god times." "Yes, I know your argument, Bambina, I've heard all you modern wives on the subject, before, but I don't think it's quite fair and besides Ted's a pretty bad sort; the men at the club call him the 'young matron's delight'." "I smiled. "He DID say that a girl wasn't even interesting until she was married—to some other chap." "Just what I thought," exclaimed Dad, "I see you understand what I mean and I'm glad of that. Another thing, daughter. I don't think you should make an exhibition of yourself doing the Charleston and being the center of attention like a cheap Garden of Allah dancer under a tent. All they need at the Country Club for more realism is some sawdust and a squeeky flute. In spite of their tuxedos, the men who form the audience are the same and make the same significant remarks. Now its not quite as undignified for a debutant (though it's deplorable enough) but for a married woman it is unquestionably poor taste." "A married woman," I flashed back at him, "I'm beginning to hate that expression. Does one have to wear shackles just because of a brief ceremony in which she promises to love, honor and, sometimes, obey? I'll tell you something. Father, a girl doesn't change one lota just because she's a wife. At heart she's just the same. The only ones who do are those who are brow-beaten and bull-dozed into it by overbearing husbands who would make her over into some conventional type—she's one of his possessions and he's going to prove it to the world! Girls don't change by nature, I tell you, and I haven't changed. I'm the same Sallie underneath.. I love Curtiss and admire him more than anyone I know (next to you), but I still get a kick out of being popular and wearing pretty clothes and having other men—yes, OTHER men tell me that I'm attractive and a good dancer and have them notice my new frocks. Shocking? Well, I can't help it, Dad, and it's true with every girl only she's been subdued so long that she's inhibited and doesn't dare admit it, even to herself." Silence in the room. "I'm not going to do anything TER-BIBLE." I added, noting the look of uncertainty and doubt that had swept over his face, "and I'm going to be true to Curtiss, not on account of any question of morality, but because I love him, you see!" "I know you expect to be, Sallie, and I have all the confidence in you in the world, but you're going to have a hard time doing it. I'm afraid." He relighted his pipe. "Women have changed radically in the last few years, but they haven't brought the men along with them all the way. It doesn't make any difference how the modern woman figures—the reaction of men to her reorganized code-men are innately crude, and unless they are held down by old-fashioned conventionality, they'll revert to type. It's for that reason I would warn you, my dear." He got up, walked over to the window and stood lost in reverie for what seemed to me a long, long time. I called to him softly. He reseated himself in his chair. "There's another thing. I want to caution you against yourself." "What do you mean by that?" I asked. "Just this, that if you allow yourself to be susceptible to flattery you'll let the bars down, in spite of yourself, Bambina, and before you realize it you'll be..." taking some man besides Curtiss into your life." I shook my head in a positive manner as I rejected the thought. "At first you'll only encourage him for the sake of diversion and because you want a bit of color in the regular hum-drum of the day—then, before you know it, this man will have taken first place in your thoughts, his compliments, his pretty sayings, his entertaining manner, and a thousand little courtesies that all husbands are, unfortunately prone to neglect." My thoughts flew through space. Father was right. Many, many times since we had been in Paris I had thought of Barrington Pierce, and there had been times when Curtiss and I had had misunderstandings that I longed for the companionship of the young musician. His worshipful attitude would have given me confidence in myself and a fresh appreciation for the beautiful things of life. "But, father, it's so exciting having the admiration of men, and Curtiss is always indifferent—now that he's so absorbed in his work." "Don't, Sallie, don't," and a low moan escaped from my father, who was always so composed. He bowed his head in his hands, but only for a moment's space. It was the first time I had glimpsed behind those doors of his unbreakable poise. "That's just what SHE said. Time after time I've heard her speak those very same words, but I didn't listen until it was—too late." "Who, father?" After another moment of silent grief he continued, at the same time making a desperate effort at self-control. "I was speaking of your mother," he said. "I've never talked with you about her before. But I thought tonight after you'd gone out with Ted that I'd better tell you all. It's almost uncanny—You're so much alive, in a way it's like your mother was still alive. Your mannerisms, your reasoning, which though inconsistent is meant to be fair, your conquerable magnetism, your quick, bubbling laughter, and even in the way you suddenly turn your head." He rose impulsively and went to the subtropical horticultural division of the University of California says it would be money well spent for the California growers to aid in such organization in Florida, as the growers there admit their indifference and inability at the present time to accomplish this end. In 1924 both California and Florida had large crops. The Florida growers grew panicky and began selling their fruit at any price. Much of it was shipped loose in box cars and the market was demoralized. The California growers, despite their organization, could not control the situation and took heavy losses. If Florida had a strong co-operative marketing organization like that of California, Professor Hodgson feels the market could be handled. And in view of the fact that one or two more good years will more than double acreage in Florida, he sees a situation that approaches the critical. Professor Hodgson has just returned to Berkeley after visiting Florida, where he judged citrus products at the Southern Florida citrus show at Tampa. He believes California and Florida have much to learn from each other, although the principles in citriculture in the two states are very similar. They are applied so differently, however, that the casual observer is prone to believe the principles different. "There were half a million paid admissions at the show," says Professor Hodgson. "It was stronger in educational features and ran less to decorations than do our shows in California."

He rose impulsively and went to an old Renaissance chest of which, as a child, I had stood in awe. I knew that it held the things of this earth which my father cherished most. He came back to me and offered me a crimson velvet box which he held in the palm of his hand. (To Be Continued Next Week) Florida Growers Need Organization Until the citrus growers of Florida are organized in a sound marketing association, the citrus industry of California will be threatened with unsound economic conditions and upsets of markets every time there is a large production in the two states.

There is a middle ground. I believe with better results for both." The Florida management was impressed with the suggestions Professor Hodgson made regarding judging, and has submitted to him for his approval a new score card for use next year. The much-heralded real estate activity in Florida has passed its peak, in the opinion of Professor Hodgson, although there still is much trading in the state. He returns much impressed with Florida citriculture, but says there is no basis for a comparison between that state and California in this regard, as it is a situation of contracts rather than comparisons.

In 1922, true to the Western pioneering spirit, they solved the problem of 220,000 volts and doubled the capacity of the line without increasing its size. For this and other achievements they were awarded the Coffin gold medal, given each year to the Company in the United States making the greatest contribution to the advancement of electricity. Again we are shown why the cost of electricity is lower than before the war while the average cost of all other commodities is 65% higher. Think of this the next time you see an Edison power line.
