Afraid is good. Aren’t you afraid somebody’l] come along and hand you the title deed to one of the Thousand Islands, with an Italian rennaissance villa built in the middle of it? What you got to be afraid of? Don’t you think it’s up to me to be afraid instead?” “Well,” said Mrs. Jobson, calmly, “I did think that I could get another year out of the old coat, especially as I wear my seal- skin jacket for very bitter - weather, but it~” _ ARE SUPERS] E10US, MARQUETTESCHAPEL ‘A small, weather-stained, clapboarded Capt.

You have such excellent taste in such things.” “Uh-huh, that’s a-pretty good jolly, all right,” said Mr. Jobson, pleased, neverthe- less. “I observe, however, that when I help you pick out such things I’m kept guessing as to how I’m going to pay my rent for. a couple of months afterward.” Mrs. Jobson had observed the same thing, _ but she wasn’t saying anything about it, “Oh, I wouldn’t think of getting anything expensive,” she said. “I merely want alittle jacket to wear on days when my sealskin would be too heavy and warm.” On Saturday morning last Mr. Jobson met Mrs. Jobson down town and they went together to look over jackets ranging in price from $20 to $25—that is to say, Mr. Jobson had that range of figures in view. Mrs. Job- son had other views. “T-want to give you fair warning,” said Mr. Jobson, as they walked in the direction of the store they were to visit first, ‘‘that $25 is the very outside dig that I’m going to make on this job. So you needn’t try to work any bamboozling scheme on me to wring any more out of me. I’m not the president of any more than ten or fifteen national banks, you know.” Mr. Jebson stood by gloomily while Mrs. Jobson was trying on a number of $20 tan coats. He shook his head over each try-on. “Dinky,” was his comment as to all of the £20 coats. “Dinky to the last degree. Wouldn’t be seen on the street with you in such a rag as that. Thought you said you could get something decent for $20?” “Why, I think they’re real nice,” said x Jobson, innocently, as'she removed the sixth $90 jacket that she had tried on. “Well, I’ve got something to say about that myself,” said Mr. Jobson. “I have to take you out, you know, and if you think I'm going to traipse around town with you in any such tack rig as that you’re mistaken, that’s all. Have ’em show you some-of the $2% kind.” She $25 grade of jackets were brought forth by the saleswomar “They make you look like you worked in a box faetory,” he commented. “They’re | lop-sided and all bunched up in the back, | “But of course any jacket would have to | he altered,” interrupted Mrs. Jobson; in | wardly delighted over the’ way her little-/ scheme was’ progressing. “Altered-nothing,” said Mr. Jobson. ‘All | the tailors on earth couldn’t make any one of those things fit to be seen in a back yard, | How did you happen to get your mind set | on one'of those mea@ey, miserable little | jackets, anyhow? Why don’t you get some- | thing that will cover you up? I see women on the street with those long things—come down to their heels and fit ’em snug—don’t | mean those imbecile automobile coats or raglan, but those long ones that cling to the waist—” “Oh,” put in Mrs. Jobson, “you mean the Newmarkets. They are pretty, of course,” and she was seething with inward joy, “but they cost a great deal more than jackets. you know. Mrs. Kaystreet has one that looks lovely, even if she is too stout, but of course her husband makes a great deal of—" “That’s all right about what her husband makes,” said Mr. Jobson. “There aré’a whole lot of bluffs running around this town. These jackets that you’ve been try- ing on won't do, that’s all. ‘There’s nothing to’em. They look silly. You get the young wanis to show you one of the long ones, pear “Well, I tried one on—an awfully pretty one—in this very store only last week,” said Mrs, Jobson. “‘Of course, I only tried it on for fun, to see how it would look. It’ is lovely and all that, but I couldn’t think of having anything so expensive—” © “There’s a heap of things that you can’t think about, Mrs. Jobson,” said Mr. Job- son, oracularly. “I’m the one that’s doing the buying in this family, you’ll remember, and if you think you're going to plow around this town in one of the things you’ve been looking at with me at your side you've got another guess. And if that dumpy Mrs. Kaystreet can wear one of those long things I’m talking about you'll shape up all right in one of them. Let’s havea look at some of ’em.” : Whereupon Mrs. Jobson winked shrewd: ly at the saleswoman, who smiled furtively in reply, and in about half a minute the saleswoman produced the melton Newmar: ket, with storm collar revers of beaver, that Mrs. Jobson had had put aside for fur- ther inspection on.the previous day. Mrs Jobson got into the beautiful garment and it fitted her like a violin in a box, and gave her figure a svelte appearance that caused Mr. Jobson to gaze at her admiringly out of the slants of his eyes. : “Um! That's something like it,” he'said, surveying the garment with repressed enthu- siasm. “How much is the thing?” | “Sixty dollars,” said the saleswoman. “Oh, goodness me, I couldn’t think of now,” hastily put in Mrs. Jobson, catching the saleswoman’s eye and starting to re- move the coat. “Couldn’t hey?” said Mr. Jobson. “Well, I could. Just you button it up and wear it out now to sort o’ christen it.” “But, my dear,” protested Mrs. Jobson, very gleefully interiorly, ‘‘we can’t afford it. Of course, it’s cheap at the price, but how’ can we afford to—” “Look a-here, madam,” said Mr. Jobson, | as the saleswoman walked away a little dis- tance at a signal from Mrs. Jobson, “I want you to understand that I’m running’ the financial end, and I don’t intend that you shall show me.up-before saleswomen in stores, either, You take that coat or none at all,” and Mr. Jobson glowered upon her frightfully.
