SELTER. 00000000000000000000000000 Marcia Maynard did not even know it was the fourteenth of February. She had been too busy all the morn- ing making feath- ery cakes and spicy cookies and pies that defied description to so much as glance at the calendar. E n lightenment, however, occurred in the form of Cousin Lucy Stod- dard, a vastly dif- ferent figure in her trim trap- pings, from Mar- cia in her neat work dress. “A woman,” said Lucy, in the com- placent way that always irritated Mar- cia, “is as old as she looks.” “I have always been too busy doing useful and necessary work,” acknowl- edged Marcia pointedly, “to bother much about my looks.” “But it isn‘t necessary for you to do 80, Cousin Marcia; you might take life as easy as I do, if you would. People think it a pity that you have never married.” “I do not know why they should, es- pecially.” Marcia's eyes flashed sud- denly. “You have never married, yourself, Lucy."” “But that is because I have never cared to do so, dear. I have always bad an abundance of suitors. It has been different with you, you Kknow. There did use to be talk that you and Henry Howard would make a match of it, but I never believed it. You are not Henry's style.” “1 never thought of such a thing as marrying Henry Howard—or anyone else,” denied Marcia crisply. “How fortunate that is.” Lucy spoke with a malicious assumption of sym- pathy. “I may as well tell you,” she confessed, “that T have about decided to accept Henry.” “"To accept Henry?" Marcia set her newly iced cake perilously near the edge of the table. “I did not know he ever thought of you.” couragement, but I have long known what I could do if I would. It has nm been easy to decide among so many.’ Marcia's sniff of disbelief passed un- noticed, “but the sight of Henry's lone- liness makes him seem worthy of the sacrifice of my freedom. I am going to send him a valentine as the most graceful and romantic way of letting him understand my attitude.” A valentine! Marcia finished work as if in a dream. Then, unexpectedly, she laughed out with unwonted gayety. “If one valer- tine is good, two ought to be better. 1 think I'll send Henry a valentine my- self!” Amazement filled the prosaic soul of Henry Howard when he found the con- tents of the big envelope to be a val- entine. As he considered it, his se- date, middle-aged heart began to warm unaccountably. “Now, that's real thoughtful of Lucy, I'm sure. I haven't had a valentine in 80 many years I'd forgotten how it seemed. It is a fine thing to keep one's youth as Lucy has.” It was late in the afternoon before he remembered to look at the other letter he had received in the same maijl. After he had read it, he sat for & long time looking meditatively at the windows of the next house. “I believe I'll go over—she's never asked me before to dine with her, and Marcia 18 a master cook. I—I believe I'll tell her what I mean to do, too; she's got a pretty sensible head, Mar- cia has.” If a woman {8 no older than she looks, Marcia had certainly lost a good ten years of her age when she greeted Henry Howard in her immaculate front hall. “And this,” he said, been cheating myself out of for the last fifteen years. I find it rather lone- ly in my big house, Marcia.” “Yes,” answered Marcia demurely, pouring the coffee. “I've been thinking lately that I have been foolish to live alone so long. Do you suppose anyone could be in- “Oh, yes,” Marcia smiled across the centerpiece. “Will you, Marcia?' He could hard- ly credit the fact that his ears heard Henry Howard asking any woman to marry him. The next instant he had gone round the table and gathered her cold fingers into his warm, strong hands. “Why, I love you, Marcia. I've wanted you all the time and did not know it; would you believe a man could be so foolish and blind?” “Ves,” whispered Marcia, been, too, until today.” Upon this interesting tableau the door opened unexpectedly, and Lucy Stoddard stood transfixed “Come in, Lucy,” called the heartily. “You shall be the first to con- ‘gratulaw me.

The darlingest flat, with a sun parlor! The work won't be anything at all, with everything new, you know. “l am going to have simply heaps of company, because it means so much to a young married couple to start right and form a circle of friends. And, oh, come this minute and see the sil- ver set Uncle John sent me! Won't it be simply angelic for afternoon teas? And when any of you get married be sure to go to that little shop for mono~ grams and things. anything prettier than these initials? | Ar. “Yes, all my household stuff is pure b ;linen—1I think it's just as well to get the best and then you have it. groans about laundries ruining it, but then mother is so fussy. She thinks the washerwomen rub holes in things with a file, I believe. “No, 1 got satin for the wedding dress. It was pretty expensive—$8 a yard, but I think it lovely to hand down a dress like that. Think of hav- ing your great-great-granddaughter wearing it and every one exclaiming over its richness! “I'm going to have oriental rugs over the whole place—and coffee after ‘dinner on the sun porch, always! I can do the dinner dishes mornings. Come and see the chiffon and lace neg- ligees that 1 have to wear mornings when I'm doing the work!"” Bride Elect's Mother — Whatever Geraldine is going to do when she gets to keeping house by herself goodness knows! Look at this room of hers! 1 never saw such disorder in my life; What a shock it will be to her to dis- cover arter she walks out, leaving six dresses, ten pairs of shoes, a tipped- over box of gloves and a lot of mixed stockings scattered about her room | that they'll stay there when she gets back! “I've spoiled Geraldine waiting on her all her life! She really didn't need so much silk underwear—with her father so hard up for money. How I'm going to find $260 to pay for mono- graming her things I'd like to know! 1 had no idea she'd given such an or- der. 1If they aren't in the poorhouse | inside of a year, with Albert's small salary and their extravagant ldeas, they'll be lucky. Wait till she finds what cream costs a quart and the price of steak and what it means to have company! “Mercy, the company Geraldine has always brought to the house! 1 sup- pose she has never realized the work I've done on that score. And she wouldn't let me ask the Moreys—old family friends, too—because she said | “ Am Going to Have Heaps of Com- pany.” they were frumps and she wasn't go- ing to start out with frumps on her calling list. I don't know where Ger aldine gets such odd ideas. “I hadn’t got over my shock at her adding up what she estimeted the wedding gifts to be worth.

Her mother has brought her up so foolishly! “Well, I'll have to keep an eye on their flat and go over day and keep Geraldine up to the mark! I cannot have Albert's digestion ruined!” Bridegroom Elect—If dad doesn’t loosen up that wedding trip to the Bermudas goes glimmering!

They think the show Is just for them! “I don't see why Geraldine’s mother has such a fit at the idea of Geraldine doing her own work in a six-room flat!
