B R S ONE MAN'S WIFE-- B R s Richard Ross, long sbsent f; New York, returns to find himseif frightened by the changes that have taken place, par- ticularly in_the girl of his dreams. Anne Lovelace. He runs away to France and there meets and marries & beautiful peasant girl. Yyonne, He brinks his wife to Paris or'a few days before sailing to America.

NNE LOVELACE followed the manager into the salon to wait for Richard to come down. She chose a seat near a window where the light might fall be- comingly on her face and smart tea gown. In another chair nearby, a young peasant girl sat looking demurely down at _her small, short-vamped shoes. Anne looked idly at the girl. “What a quaint costume,” she thought. “It Yvonne wondered for the millionth time her, a little peasant girl, for his wife. would be splendid for a costume ball some time.” She noted the snowy bo- dice laced trimly down over a full skirt. 'he girl is really lovely,” she thought. wonder if she is here looking for a position, lady's maid' perhaps.” The girl did not seem aware of Anne’s scrutiny. She looked down at her shoes, which were new, with great pride. Anne could not know, of course, that these same shoes pinched Yvonne's feet, accustomed to no shoes at all, ex- cept her Sunday sabots. Her eyes met Anne’s. “What a beautiful lady—tres belle—” Yvonne thought. And she wondered for the millionth time why her wonderful hus- band had chosen her, a little French peasant girl, for his wife. For he was rich. Had he not refused to let her randparents give him the dot they gnd been saving for years? Had he not given them a horse for their very own? And he had paid for a new win- dow in the church. Yvonne wished the beautifu lady would not stare quite so hard. She pulled her feet back under her dress, and folded her hands in her lap. Then a step in the doorway made her lift her eyes again. Richard was standing e. Yvonne saw the beautiful rise and run to meet Richard, both hands ?e!d out, a marvelous smile on her ace. “Dick Ross! I learned by sccident you were here and ran in to say howdy. What made you run away the very day after you had landed in New York? Richard took Anne’s hands in be- wilderment, and then spoke her name. “Anne Lovelace!” “Yes, Anne Lovelace. Aren't you glad to see me?” Richard rallied. “Why of course— only its such a surprise—and then, well | since I saw you last I've been “Married!” Anne hoped her voice ex- pressed urprize. “To whom? How sudden! Is it to any one I know?” Richard shook his head smiling. Then he saw Yvonne in her cornes “My wife is here,” he said. “Yvonme.” As In a dream Anne saw the pretty peasant girl come forward and curt- sey when Richard said, “Mme. Ross, Yvonne, this is my old friend Miss Lovelace, come to call.” Anne stammered, “I hope you will be very happy, I am sure.” Yvonne thanked her. Somehow Anne escaped, after a few more platitudes. She was puzzled and indignant. Somehow it wasn't fair for Dick Ross to do such an outlandish thing when she, Anne Lovelace, had marked him for her own. thoughe of i all sgain and then dis- it of agal is- missed it with a shrug, “the marria; won't last. I give it a year. Dick will tire of that id” But having tired of her, would he cast her aside? Back in the rlor of the hotel Yvonne was locking a little disconso- late. Richard was in deep thought. Anne’s coming had disturbed him. But he was still glad of his marriage. He turned to Yvonne, smiling at her as one does at a child. “Are you sure you do not wish to dress like the lady who just called?” TOURS."

Yvonne brightened. “But no,” she said shrewdly. “If my husband had wished a wife like that, he would nev- er have married Yvonne.’ Richard threw back his head and laughed. “What a wise little woman it is,” he cried, and kissed his wife fondly. They salled for New 'York several days later. Yvonne's eyes were wide Wi wonder during most of the trip. New York, where Richard touk her to a quiet hotel, frightened her. He found to his annoyance that her peas- ant costume excited attention, so they did _their sightseeing at night. “Do you like New York?” he asked her once. She shook her head. “It is not gay like Paris,” she said. “They rush so, medpcopl , and stare 80, and looke 50 ed.” why her wondérful husband had chosen “I'l show you the gay side of New York some day,” Richard promised ab- sently. The next day they went dewn to the new house. Yvonne opened her eyes wide and exclaimed aloud at sight of it. “But it is a palace!” she cried. Richard thought it very ordinary, a three-story house with eight living rooms and on the third floor one large room which he was converting into a laboratory study. Yvonne ran through all the rooms, feeling the beds, running a. finger along the polished furniture, striking a hesi- tant note on the piano, inspecting the pots and pans, and peeping into the ice box. “Will you want 2 maid, some one to help you?” he asked. Yvonne shook her head. “No, no, no. I shall Jove taking care of this palace of a house. And we are but two.” ‘The settling down period was filled with annoyances. Richard found he would have to teach Yvonne names of articles of food, and the American sys- tem ot money. ‘Then the newspapers discovered them. | Anne Lovelace had a hand in that, NS 47 fefufutofoitutafmtolulmfulientofulluedulolodefetole! By Barbara Webb though this, of course, Richard did not know. For several days they were the sen- sation of the hour. Richard took it good naturedly, feeling that in this way, it would soon be over. Yvonne posed for pictures and secretly full of pride, sent some of the best of them back to her grandparents. He bought a small car and had Yvonne learn to drive it. She had been so sLocked both at the quality of tes food sent her and at the prices that she had irsisted on doisng her own market- ing. With wondcrful aptness she soon learned to drive herself about, and to choose unerringly the choicest foods in the market. ‘To Yvonne the $50 a week Richard gave her for the house seemed a kingly sum. “What shall I do with the rest of it?” she asked at the end of the first week, showing him some bills and change. “Keep it. Do what you like with it,” he answered indifferently. “May I sometimes send part of it, not all, home to my grandparents?” she asked. “Send as much as you like,” came the answer, and Yvonne's heart skipped with joy. Richard had never been as comfort- able in his life. Yvonne managed the house with rare skill. She cooked deli- cious meals for him. She did not ques- tion him about his work, for to Yvonne there was a sharply drawn and not-to- be-pzssed-over line between man’s world and woman’s. At the end of a month all was running smoothly, Every day before breakfast she tucked up her skirts and scrubbed the kitchen floor. When Richard remonstrated with her she said naively: “But I like to kee) it clean, and it is nothing to do, really. So he let her alone. At the table he read his paper and Yvonne flew back and forth from the dining room to te kitchen. He could not persuade her 1b sBare the meal with him. She was too solicitous of her omelet, her hot Tolls, the drip coffee which must be served at a very delicate and precise time. Left alone, Yvotne would sit at the kitchen table and eat hard dry bread, drink a huge cup of coffee, and eat a great piece of the cheese, which she made herself. RlLl‘::c(an wn&s at 1. For a few days ichard came down promptly, knowing he weuld find delicious food souffies light as feathers, salads crisp and cold, a sweet mysteriously good. Then he be- came absorbed in his work and forgot luach time. Twice Yvonne called him, and each time he answered grumpily and asked to be let alone. On the third day that he was late, Yvonne filled with pride over some achievement in cooking, watched the clock. When half an hour had passed, she put the ruined souffles to one side and made sandwiches for Richard. ‘These, with milk and fruit, she arranged on a tray and carried to the door of the laboratory. There she knocked timidly. Richard, coming to answer the knock, nearly stumbled over the tray. Then realization of his wife's thoughtfulness smote him and he turned to run down the stairs to thank her. But some in- teresting specimen pulled him back into the laboratory and he ate the lunch hastily, too absorbed in his work to know what he was eating. He forgot to men- tion the episode at dinner. After he went to bed that night Yvonne stole up to his workroom and took the tray with its soiled dishes down to her kitchen. She got what satisfac- tion she might from the fact that he had eaten the food. ‘Yvonne never complained, even in her thoughts, about her restricted life. She worked endlessly in the house, she drove about in the car, she watched over Rich- ard’s comfort with unceasing care, and she kept to herself, refusing all over- tures of friendship, remembering Rich- ard’s charge that she remain always Yvonne, his peasant wife. (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.) THE EVENING STORY Birthday Gifts. LORILLA PRATT and Minny Gor- don, lifelong friends and neigh- bors, sat in Florilla's sitting room that sunny early-Winter after- noon. Minny had run in, as she said, on an errand, but she had not yet stated her errand, and Florilla waited rather eagerly for her to do so. Florilla was 60, thin, dark, sallow. She had been a widow for 20 years and a life without children had narrowed her into a selfish, mercenary and rather penurious woman. She had plenty of means, which aceumulated faster than she could spend, but n gl:cn;:a P benefit from her money; she for herself. On _the other hand, Minny Gordon was plump and rosy, with a mischievous sparkle in her blue eyes. She was liv- ing with her second husband, who did better by her than had her first. Her children were grown up and away from home, but she kept in constant touch with them. She had not so much money as had Florifla, but she was hap- tpl?lr much happier, and her life was uller. “Well, I must be going,” she said at last. “I promised to drop in at Sadie Bennett's for supper. Ry the way, cl:luri‘lsll do you mind what day Thurs- ay is?' “Thursday? ' Day after tomorrow?” Florilla pondered. She gave a start. “Why, it’s my birthday!” “And my birthday; our birthday,” nld' Minny. “We're both 60, both of “We're getting on,” sighed Florilla, “I should say so. I'm a grandmother, but, land, I wouldn't know it by my feelings. Say, Florilla, I've never given you & birthday present, but this time I'm going to. It's time we recognized the day; it's time we gave up our fool~ ish customs of ignoring our birthdays. It will pass for a woman in middle life to do that, because she’s sensitive on account of her age, but when she has reached the age of 60 what.is the use of her being sensitive any longer?” “There isn't any,” sald Florilla. She stirred uncomfortably. If Minny gave her a birthday present she would have to give Minny one. She didn't like to give things away. “Well,” she said, “if you gave me a present I suppose I'll have to give you one. “'Twould be nice” saild Minny as she fastened her fur neckpiece and started toward the door. When she had gone Florilla sat down to think. Birthday presents “I wonder what I shall get her?” she sald to herself. “I guess some little remembrance will be as good as any- thing, just something to show my good will. Handkerchiefs or something like that. I'll go downtown tomorrow and get it off my mind." Florilla made ready late next after- noon and went downtown. She pur- chased & half-dozen handkerchiefs, not of the best quality, and was leaving N her, was in to s store, Flo- nmjm “and I saw Minny the handsomest table 1t had an old-rose Florilla gasped. A table lamp, with an old-rose silk shade! She loved old rose and Minny knew it. Was it pos- sible that she was buying.it for ner? She looked down at the packet of hand- kerchiefs and her heart smote her. She could not make Minny such & gift in the face of that table . As she came out in the street she met Mrs. Cossitt again. This time Mrs. Cos- sitt was so full of news that she dropped some of her packages. “I just saw Minny buying a phono- graph at Dart’s musie store,” she said. “Now. who in the world could she be buying a phonograph for? Must be she’s going to give it to somebody.’ Florilla thrilled. A phonograph, too! It couldn't be that she was buying her two_ gifts! “I understand,” she thought; “she has changed her mind and decided to give me a phonograph. Well, I'm sor- ry, I always wanted a rose-shaded lamp. In that case the crystal bowl won't do. I'll have to get something better. What shall it be? Oh, I know! Il buy her a tea-wagon.” Florilla bought the tea-wagon and ordered it sent to her friend’s Thurs- day morning. Then she went home tired_ but singularly happy. “I'll give her the crystal bowl, too,” she thought. “T'H fill it with roses. gmny.uordon isn't going to get ahead me.” After all, it was pleasant to buy things; nice things. She quite liked the sensation. The stores were full of delights if one had the money for them She had learned something she did not know before. Next morning she put on her hat and coat and started for the Gordon house with her bowl of pink roses. Halfway there she met Minny Gordon with a small parcel in her hands. “What have you got there, Florilla?" Minny cried. “Something for you,” Florilla smiled. ‘The smile made her look almost hand- some. “Roses—and that beautiful bowl!” Minny gasped. “Why, Florilla!” Being nearer the Gordon house than the Pratt house, they went there. As they reached the door a delivery boy appeared with the tea-wagon. “A tea-wagon!” cried Minny. “Just what I've always wanted. Can Hiram have been so thoughtful?” Then she zn;; }{w tag. Florilla's name was n it. Minny Gordon looked at the tag and then at her friend bewildered. “Florilla!” she said. It was as if she had never seen her friend before, so full of admiration and love and aston- ishment were her eves. “A tea-wagon! I've always hankered for one! And that wonderful bowl! And those roses! But, oh, Florilla,” suddenly all the joy in her eyes was dimmed by tears of re- gret, “all T got you is in this little pack- age. I looked at a phonograph and lamp, but I couldn't afford them.” Florilla, who was undergoing some peculiar emotions, enened ;{oe bl:ke:‘e It contained an exquisite of beads which Minny had woven herself with the care and painstaking of weeks. 43 she looked at the necklace it came to Florilla that after all her friend's e i e o, e g love, while bought with money. e d Suddenly she put her arms about “I guess we're both pretty pleased with our birthday gifts to fl other,” she said.
