CARSON. | L4 A - ! Little Mrs. Gray fluttered into her ' guest’s room with a pasteboard box in her hand. “Helen,” she said, “I want you to do | something for me. See this perfectly beautiful silk muffler I have bought | for Allan’s birthday present? Well, his birthday is three weeks off, but I want him to wear the muffler tonight. Please pretend that you have bought it for one of your friends and offer it to Allan to wear. His old muffler is quite shabby and he’s going to an important business men’s dinner.

It's only a Jjoke, you know. I do want Allan to have the use of the muffler and I don’t wish to spoil the birthday surprise by giving it to him now. He’s out in the hall this minute getting ready to start | out. Let's go and insist upon his wear- | ing it.” In a moment Helen found herself of- | fering the muffler to her host with a careless generosity that quite sur- prised herself. “But I hate to take the new off a present you have bought for some THE FAVORITE HORSE If you want your favorite horse properly clothed, bring him to head- quarters for all horse clothing and equipment.

Don’t you think he looks nice in it, Helen?” “Yes, indeed, Laura,” agreed Helen, smilingly. “Allan, do be careful not to lose it. Helen, you have no idea how perfectly reckless Allan is with his belongings. When you have a husband you'll see how much care a man is. Now, Allan, perhaps I'd better fasten this muffler to your overcoat collar with a little safety pin. I'm sype I don't want Helen to be worried about it.” “I shan't have the least anxiéty, dno]zn‘(-d Helen, who marveled at her friend’s gratuitous play acting. “Well, do be careful, anyway. I should so hate to Itave you lose it, Al- lan, the way vou lose umbrelias.” “Perhaps I had better not borrow it. | T ean usually be trusted, Laura, not to scatter my wearing apparel about the city, but if you—" “Nonsense. It is a great deal better looking than your old one. Please keep it on. Helen will be hurt now if you don’t wear it. Won't you, Helen?” “Yes, indeed, I shall,” asserted Hel- en, dutifully. So Allan, trying to look pleased and gracious, thanked her again and went to the dinner, wishing with secret irri- tation that his wife would not be quite 80 anxious about his appearance. The next morning while Helen was packing her trunk to leave Laura came into the room with the muffler. “Now, wasn't it just like Allan to go to business without even thinking of “I took it out of his overcoat pocket be- fore he was up, and he never missed it. You see, men are really awfully careless. Do you wonder that I cau- tioned him not to lose it?” “No,” murmured Helen, absently. She was a little tired of the muffler. “And wasn't it just splendid that he never suspected it was really his own mufiler that he was wearing? You | know, when he was thanking you so‘; effusively last night I could hardly | keep my face straight.” | “Nor I mine,” sighed Helen. Two days after Helen reached her | own home she received a gray silk muffier from Allan. It was a much handsomer and more expensive one than that which he had supposedly borrowed from her. “My dear Helen,” said the note which accompanied it, “Laura was | right, after all. I should have cast away my pride and allowed her to pin that muffler of yours.to my overcoat. I have to confess that her anxiety was not unfounded. I must, indeed, be the careless creature she thinks me, for I did lose your muffler. When I went to take it out of my overcoat pocket to return it to you I was astonished to find it gone.
