I com- plained to Jimmie that it would take me all day to wash those dishes. ‘Nonsense!’ he said. ‘We'll go to church and dine downtown and then tonight, when we have taken off our Sunday clothes, we'll do the dishes together in no time.’ “That sounded pleasant to me and 1 turned my back on my disorderly flat removed everything again and put them back.

No otber article of my wardrobe was missing. sister, brother. Together we searched every nook and corner of the house. During the frenzy of the hunt I even found myself looking in my thimble case. No use! “l can well imagine your agony,” sighed Dorothy. “There was nothing for me to do,” said Marjorie, “but call up Jack, ex- plain matters and tell him it was im- possible for me to go.” “My heart bleeds for you,” moaned Dorothy. “Why didn't you wear your pink?” “It's at the cleaner's.” “Your yellow?" freedom. “While we were in the restaurant rain began to fall in torrents, so we lingered over our dessert and coffee Finally the storm sub- slded and we went home. Imagine my astonishment when Jimmie un- locked our flat and 1 beheld his cous- ing that I hardly know at all—Robert modeled.” “You could have borrowed one of mine.” “The wais! would have been too long and the skirt too short.” “What did Jack say?” “He felt dreadfully,. We were to have led the cotillon. Being chalr man of the entertainment committee, he had to go to the dance anyway. As for me, 1 threw my miserable self on the bed and cried myself to sleep. 1 dreamed all night of Jack dancing around my closet in my orchid gown.” “But what could have become ot that dress?” demanded Dorothy. “Well, when I arose this morning, angry at every one and everything, 1 stepped to my closet to get my kimo- no. Belleve me or not, in the left hand corner’ hung my new orchid gown!" “At first I thought I was still dream. ing. Next I decided that worry had unbalanced my mind. Then 1 knew it wias neither a dream nor insanity, but a cold tact that my dress hung before me! “I gave a scream which called the entive family to my side, including Nora, our maid. They gazed at that truant gown, parlor dressed in Jimmie's lounging robe an¢ my kimono! “*‘Why, hello!’ cried Jimmle. ‘We're mighty glad to see you.' 3 “‘I'm afraid we came a little early,’ sald Mrs. Robert as I shook hands with her. ‘You see, we have taken some liberties.’ “‘Not at all! We are delighted,’ bubbled Jimmie. ‘This Is great. But how, did you ever get in? “‘Well,’ said Robert, ‘when we found you weren't at home we thought we'd take a ride in the park, as this is the first time we've had our car in town. But we hadn’t gone two wo got drenched. We were too wet to go anywhere that we couldn’t make ourselves at home in, s0 we ran back here and 1 climbed the fire escape to vour kitchen window. The man who lives under you rushed out and threat- ened to have me arrested. 1 told him not to bother me.’ “*And I told him who we were, added Mrs. Robert, ‘and begged him not to stop Bob, as we were expected to tea. “When she said that T just looked at Jimmie, but Jimmie was busy as- suring Robert that it didn’t in the least matter that he had cut our new window screen in order to get in, 8o my precious husband never noticed my accusing glance. But when [ got him alone for a minute I said, ‘James “*Nora, what do you know about this dress?" 1 demanded, seeing an ex- pression of alarm on her face, *'Oh, Miss Marjory,’ she said, ‘I don’t know what made me do ft.

I didn't do it no harm. Please forgive me, Miss Marjory. T'll never do it again.’ “There,” finished Marjory, “you have the explanation of the mysterl- ous disappearance.” “Well, what did you say to that?” asked her mother. “l said of course T could and T I washed enough dishes to set the table and I made hot biscuits and coffee and I made a salad of the cold chicken that was left from the night before. Inside of an hour they were all eating. “I was pretty hot and flurried, but tried to be bright and chatty while they ate. When they left Mrs. Rob- ert squeezed my hand in the most sis- terly manner and whispered, ‘The Al baugh men are all alike, but they've got sense about one thing—they choose capable wives.’ So I knew that, despite all my efforts, she had taken in the whole siruation.” “l hope Jimmy was properly con- trite?” remarked the mother. “Oh, Jimmie was a perfect dear. He said that night while we were washing the dishes that after this ex- perience he wouldn’t be afraid to ask in a whole regiment to dine, for I was such a wonder. Idon’t want you ever Pike Once High Priced Fish. The pike is a fish for which now there is little demand. Yet Edward I, who regulated the prices of different fish, that his subjects might not be at the mercy of the venders, fived the values of pike higher than fresh sal- mon, and at more than ten times that of the best turbot. Pike are supposed to live longer than any other fish, in spite of their former popularity as food. Gesner re- lates that in 1497 a pike was caught in Suabia with a ring attached, in- scribed “I was first put into this lake by the bands of the Governor of the Universe, Frederick IL, October §, appreciative.” 1230 “No, nor inhospitable,” added her mother, dryly.—Chicago Daily News.
