Jessamine said. “I do want to be friends with Mrs. Lansing. She is so worthwhile. And she is intimate with the Duttons.

Jessamine called up Mrs. Lansing to learn details of the scheme and two or three calls back and forth ensued. So far, so good. Jessamine was de- lighted and recently married, but am- bitions for social honor in a town where she was only beginning to get acquainted, she saw innumerable path- ways for success opening before her. In winning Mrs. Lansing she had ac- complished a great deal. But Mrs. White and Bernice Craft were not so enthusiastic about the rubber scheme. “Why, yes, I'll_help,” Mrs. White promised reluctantly. And “Oh, sure I'll help,” agreed Bernice. But after all, it was Jessamine who put the ad- vertisement in the paper and paid for it, too. It read: ‘“‘Rubber! Rubber! Save your old rubbers and galoshes and rubber boots for the woman's club. Report to Mrs. Horace Cole, No. 8 Wayside avenue.” C There were many reports, but with- out exception, the profferers of rub- ber declined to send their wares. “Couldn’t Jessamine send after them?” Send after them! Jessamine was staggered. She called up Bernice Craft, but she was out of town; she had gone for an extended visit in the city. She called up Mrs. White, but Mrs. White was ill—a cold and con- fined to the house. She called up the president of the woman’s club and it happened that that astute lady had neuralgia and she was ready to snap | at the whole world. “Why, get out vour car and gather up the rubber. That's what you will have to do,” she commanded. Now Horace's car was new, a dark blue sedan with corded velour up- holstery. Jessamine had just begun to drive it, and she enjoyed the sen- satfon she made at the wheel, her pretty face visible through the plate glass windows. She did not mind going about with the car at all; it would be rather a nulsance to collect rubber. he appealed to Mrs. Lansing rs” Lansing applauded her ef: So one sunny afternoon she c d the corded velour with old newspapers and started on her mission. She had a distinct sinking- of the | heart as she proceeded on her errand. | One woman sald that she always. saved her rubber for her liitle boy to sell, another was coldly curt, a third flung a pair of old boots at her as it she a junk dealer, a fourth sug gested that she ought o have brought a palr of scales to weigh them on.
