By JULIE LINDQUIST. & Mrs. J. Perkins Benson knew pre-| cisely what she wanted and usually managed to get it. J. Perkins Benson was of like mind. So when Benson met Benson the tug of war was on. Mrs. Benson was large, capable and in perfect health. J. Perkins was healthy enough, but he had nothing to boast of in the matter of size. Both had determination to a positively pain- ful degree. Benson had to leave the house rath- er early to get to the office on time. Only after prolonged argument had he managed to convince Mrs. Benson of the many benefits to be gained by al residence so far from town, and even| after he had finished his argument she | did not seem more than half con- vinced. However, Mrs. Benson found no difficulty in remembering most of the things her husband had said upon that occasion. She frequently took pains to recall to his mind some of his promises, and between times she as- serted over and over again that she would never, under any conditions, agree to fix the furnace fire. “You'll just have to get up a little bit earlier,” she concluded, calmly. Benson felt that he ought not to be expected to fix the furnace fire when he hardly had time to catch his train, but no amount of argument and ca- jolery could influence Mrs. Benson.

One cold morning he got out of bed at the usual time, but arrived at the , railroad station flve minutes earlier than usual. This was because he had walked gayly out of his own front door without having gone to the basement at all that morning. And as he tripped down the front steps he had called lightly back over his shoulder: “Oh, by the way, Myra, I forgot to fix the furnace. If you don’t want to freeze you'll have to break your rule for once.” When Benson arrived at the office he was whistling and he seemed so excessively cheerful that Simpson, his office neighbor, went over to inquire: “What's up, Perk? Get a raise?” Benson did a dance step or two. “Away, away, base varlet!” he replied, blithely. “Away and serve, if you will, the woman who s both your wife and your ruler. As for me, I bow to the dictates of no female! I—" He paused to clap Simpson on the back heavily. “I shook off the chains of slavery this morning, tra la, tra la. I defled my wife on my own stoop, and she has to fix the furnace fire every morning from now on.” Simpson seemed impressed. “I wish I had your nerve,” he sald, “jut it wouldn't do me any good to try a ,him as usual, and it was a good din- stunt like that with my wife. Not so| that you could notice it!” He went back to his own desk wondering fif Benson had won out as easily as he supposed. When Benson reached home that evening he found the dinner awaiting i ner. But his wife was getting it ready in her winter wraps—she had on her heavy cloak and a scarf was wound | round her head and throat. She wore | a pair of kid gloves when she sat down at the table. The house was as cold as the grave. Benson sat down oppo- site his wife and tried to eat. But he was ashamed to put on his overcoat and it was altogether too cold to en- joy the dinner in any other garb. So he hurried over his favorite dishes, then got up and began to pace the floor. Mrs. Benson did not offer any comment. She sat perfectly quiet and her conduct was as chilly as the house. Next morning Benson was an hour late at the office. As he went to his desk after hanging up his hat and coat Simpson got up and went to meet him. It was evident that Simpson had been thinking over the conversa- !tion of yesterday and had come for more details. “Well,” he began, “fire going this morning, Perk? And did it take you an hour to persuade her to fix it?” Benson looked not in the least em- barrassed. “You mean did I fix the fire?” he retorted. “I told you, didn’t I, that I meant to fix that fire no more? Well, all I've got to say is that I did not fix it!"” “Wife fix it?" persisted Simpson. “And is she going to fix it every morn- ing after this?” “Not exactly,” replied Benson. compromised.” “Compromised?” questioned Simp- son, grinning. “How on earth did you—" . “Oh, I suppose I might as well tell you now as any time. I had to use diplomacy, that's all. It was the only way in which we could both retain our dignity—and 1 had to allow as much as that, didn't 1?” “That doesn't answer my question,” persisted Simpson. *“Come across, now. How did you settle it?” “Basiest thing in the world,” ex- plained Benson, waving his hand air- ily. “I went this morning and rented a steam-heated flat here in town. That's what made me late.” “We Broad Adverb Title Contested. Eleanor Hallowell Abbott, holder of the standing broad adverb champion- ship, may lose her title. On page &5 of “John Ward, M. D,” by Charles Vale, one lamps this: “Lambly, he withdrew.” At first we thought it was Wall street slang for getting out of the market reft of capital. But it isn’t. It means lambly, just as cowly, sheeply or armadilloly might mean those things. PR B - g CABARET Bencfit of Woman’s Club Arranged and*staged by Auditorium, Wed., March 18th \ ss J.
