Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife ... by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Service Barry Proposes "Will you marry me, Sallie?" Barrington Pierce ignored my outburst of temper and his voice was vibrant with hope, as if he had not heard my irate criticism of him, which I had offered in Curtiss' defense. Never in all my life had I been so surprised. Notwithstanding the fact that my astonishment must have manifested itself on my face, Barry was undisturbed. "Won't you, dearest?" he urged. "I can't even think that you're not joking," I replied, "why Barry, since when have you been in the habit of running around His love-making, like his music, was out of the realm of the commonplace. There was an exquisite poignancy about it and a genuine sincerity that going to play." Vesnianka's position, for the very first time, you give me a bit of hope. I go before the audience put something into my mouth never found there before have the assurance from sweet lips, that perhaps dropped his voice to a whisper be mine? My first impulse was the possibility of the relationship so desired and which I never exist. To assure the sician of my friendship for remind him of the irrational suggestion and ask him mention the subject again. Then, swift as an eagle thoughts changed. To date to the ground just before he pear in concert and give his composition to the public time would be unnecessary mean. I must not allow as selfish as that! Know sician's merciful nature, possible that upon my accord the successful reminiscent music which he for me, and, in my honor Russian word for Spring be an act of kindness Barry on his "night of naught" I dropped my eyes to the cup in which the amber lilac grown cold and my lips mash," I said, softly. I looked up again I knew that leaped in Barry's oath had heard.

There was an exquisite poignancy about it and a genuine sincerity that rang in his every word. the country proposing to married women?" I wanted him to think that I regarded his proposal in a flippant light. A puzzled frown swept his fact for a moment, and then he continued talking, his mood gaining in intensity with every word, "Love will drive us to great lengths, Adoree," he said, "it gives courage to him who has no reason for hope and puts wings to fancy's flight. Spurred on by visions of the happiness we could attain, I was compelled to ask you to come with me, my dear." A dancing light gleamed in his great brown eyes which never for an instant left my face, "Listen, Sallie," he hurried on, "I can see it all! You and I going hand in hand along the highway of life, high winds of adventure fanning our emotions and keeping us ever responsive to the call of youth. How sweet, how thrilling, how satisfying and joyous each day would be with you by my side through the golden hours." His love-making, like his music, was out of the realm of the commonplace. There was an exquisite poignancy about it and a genuine sincerity that rang in his every word. I could no longer regard his affection for me in a light-hearted manner, for to have done so would have been to the young musician a cruel blow to his earnestness and his pride. I realized that his proposal was impossible from the start but, on account of his serious attitude, I knew I would have to go into the subject, and, step by step, show him the utter folly of his plan. "In the first place," I began. "Oh, I know," he interposed, "you're going to bring up the subject of Curtiss again, but I swear to you I will make you forget him, once you are mine. It is your loyalty to the things that you think your marriage stands for that makes you continue to uphold him at any cost. Then, too, time has dimmed the unhappiness you suffered when you were with him and felt his unparadnable neglect. It has softened the pang of those desolate hours... Remember, degest, my sole purpose in life will be to fill your days with joy." loved her very much at once time?" I questioned again. "Not love, Sallie. Lemoyne will tell you that I never loved her. A friend a chere antle, but love, the sort of love I have for you, never!" he exclaimed. "But what of her, Barry, you can not possibly ignore the way she feels towards you." "You haven't seen her lately, you know, and—if she ever had it—she's outgrown any such idea. If she thought she cared it was probably, the result of her highly strung imagination." Barry's his plan. "In the first place," I began. "Oh, I know," he interposed, "you're going to bring up the subject of Curtiss again, but I swear to you I will make you forget him, once you are mine. It is your loyalty to the things that you think your marriage stands for that makes you continue to uphold him at any cost. Then, too, time has dimmed the unhappiness you suffered when you were with him and felt his unparadigmable neglect. It has softened the pang of those desolate hours. Remember, dearest, my sole purpose in life will be to fill your days with joy." "No, no, Barry, please," I put out my hand as if I would stop him by force. He misinterpreted the gesture and, taking my hand in his, held it close, "aside from the question of Curtiss," I stumbled on, "what about yourself? You told me in Paris once that it would ruin your future to even consider 'taking unto yourself a wife.' about the 'Little House'—that you Don't you remember, Barry, your song wanted but could never own? Because yo felt that you would have to sacrifice all thought of domestic bliss on the altar of your career." He listened intently and I felt that at last I had hit upon a more appealing argument to turn his attention from the plan he had proposed. "I didn't think there was a chance then of my ever having you, Sallie, dear, and that's why I said what I did," he hesitated a full moment and then continued, "there was another reason, as well, at that time," he said. "Lemoyne?" I asked softly, and although he did not reply, I knew that I had discovered his reason for declaring that day in his studio that he would never wed. As vivid as a haunting strain of music or the echo of some remembered perfume came the tete-a-tête I had had with Andre Moliere the night of Lemoyne's triumph at the Opera Comique. He had told me how it was common gossip among their set that the singer's adoration for Barry greatly exceeded his regard for her and had also hinted that while Barry had, at one time, faintly responded to her charm, that his sentiment had changed and that his only interest in the singer, even then, was that of a very dear friend. "But you cared for her once? You loved her very much at once time?" I questioned again. "Not love, Sallie. Lemoyne will tell you that I never loved her. A friend a chere amie, but love, the sort of love I have for you, never!" he exclaimed. "But what of her, Barry, you can not possibly ignore the way she feels towards you!" "You haven't seen her lately, you know, and—if she ever had it—she's outgrown any such idea. If she thought she cared it was probably the result of her highly strung imagination." Barry's modesty was one of his most charming traits. For instance, he was bound to have known the depth of the singer's adoration and yet, in spite of the flaming idolatry lavished on him by her for years, I don't think he even admitted to himself that he had the whole heart of the beautiful Lemoyne. And so, one by one, my objections to his proposal were swept aside. "But your music?" I returned to the subject which, more than any other, had more influence in his life. "you have already gained a certain measure of fame, and, I know some day you will be one of the immortals, like Beethoven, Chopin or Bach, if you allow nothing to come between you and your art." "But, my dearest, don't you realize that you would inspire me to greater heights, your faith in me would be an incentive to the accomplishment of all my dreams." I shivered although the room was warm, because I thought of how Curtiss had begged me to have confidence in him and I had lacked sufficient faith to do the thing he had asked. "You must not idealize me so, for even in the qualities you admire most I have failed. I have so many limitations, which I realize myself, and I would have you do the same." "Your unpretentiousness is one of your most blessed traits and I won't permit you to say untrue things about your own perfect self." A clock in the distance chimed out the hour of six. Barry moved restlessly. "I hate clocks and time," he declared. "I wish there were no such things." Then completing his thought, he said. "listen, Sallie dear, I'm playing in our first concert of the series tonight. I'm going to play "Vesnianka," your composition, for the very first time. Can't you give me a bit of hope so that when I go before the audience tonight I'll put something into my music that I've never found there before? Can't I have the assurance from your own sweet lips, that perhaps someday," he dropped his voice to a whisper, "you'll be mine?" My first impulse was to deny the possibility of the relationship which he so desired and which I knew could never exist. To assure the young musician of my friendship for him but to remind him of the irrationality of his suggestion and ask him never to mention the subject again. Then, swift as an eagle's wing, my thoughts changed. To dash his hopes to the ground just before he was to appear in concert and give his marvelous composition to the public for the first time would be unnecessarily little and mean. I must not allow myself to be as selfish as that! Knowing the musician's merciful nature, it was just possible that upon my answer would depend the successful rendition of his glorious music which he had written for me, and, in my honor, named the Russian word for Spring. It would be an act of kindness to encourage Barry on his "night of nights." I dropped my eyes to the dainty tea cup in which the amber liquid had long grown cold and my lips moved. "Perhaps," I said, softly. But when I looked up again I knew by the light that leaped in Barry's eyes that he had heard. (To be continued next week) Good goods come in small packages.

Why limit a Busy Buttons' Budget EVERY department manager in the entire Edison system operates on a budget limiting his expenditures for the year. Why use a budget? Why limit a manager? Simply because good business sense demands it. A private enterprise has no "revolving fund." It cannot fall back on the taxpayers if things go wrong. It cannot arbitrarily vote bonds to pay for mistakes. It cannot indulge in fancy book-keeping. Your Edison manager is called Manager because his technical ability and business judgment enable him to maintain his department at Edison standards and at the same time keep within his budget so that the customer may continue to receive the best of service at uniformly reasonable rates.
