Pashley gave an imitation of a host- ess with nothing on her mind to worry about. As she removed the plates Delia whispered that it had come. Mrs. Pashley clutched her heart.

HERMEWGAR G The woman in the old style seal- skin sack settled herself more com- fortably in her street car seat and pursued the conversation where it had been left off. “No, I don't envy Emma her elec- tric car in the least!" she repeated firmly. “I'm perfectly willing that other people should have all that's coming to them, though the land knows what right Emma Ankers has to an electric when folks that are her betters don’t own even » wheelbarrow! Why, that woman—say, you know Emma and I used to go to school to- gether! Yes, we did. I've known her all that time, and I guess what I could tell you about Emma would keep me busy some time! “Why, didn't I do her algebra prob- lems for her, because 1 felt sorryf that she was such a dummy?

It otherwise with Emma and all the oth- | plant or works rea ers chasing around after him as they did! Maybe some of the rest of us could tell a thing or two if we want- ed to, and if Emma knew what a narrow escape she had from not be- ing Mrs. Julius, she’d shivered in her boots! Not that I'd have taken Ju- lius if he'd been offered to me on a silver platter, but he made it plain enough to me that I could have had him if I'd wanted to! Little dried up shrimp that he is! Why, he never had brains enough to make even a decent living, and if he hadn't inherit- ed all that money from his father Emma would be riding on street cars like the rest of us! “It's perfectly funny to see her with that new electric. She lives on the next street from me, and every day she goes out of her way to trundle by my house, and she looks out to see if I'm watching. They're paving her street, you say? Well, she could just as well go down the next but one, and I know she goes down mine on pur- pose to make me jealous, but, good- ness knows, there isn't a jealous hair in my head. My husband earns an honest living and doesn’t have to live on some one else's money, and I'm proud of it. I guess he’d buy me an electric, anyway, if 1 made a point of it, but I'm no hand for show. I'd rather save up for my old age and take a trip now and then. 1 asked Emma point blank the other day why she didn't go to Califofrnia this win- |} most evidently with no intention oll ter as usual, and she said because the weather had been so mild, but I guess T know They can't afford it after being so foolish as to buy an elec- “Go | tric! “Emma actually came over one day and sald she wanted to take me for a ride, but I was too smart for her. 1 guess I wasn't going to sit beside her and then fled before his mother's | and have her crow over me in that superior way of hers and try to make me feel that I was a pauper! Not me! 1 just looked her in the eye and said: ‘Thank you kindly, Emma, but 1 haven't time. Besides, I'm going out with a friend who wants me to try her new $8,000 limousine they've just ifmported. Is that your new car? Why, it's really quite nice looking for just a cheap little electric! I don't suppose it will last very long, but you'll enjoy it while it does, I'm sure. Of course you don't go to many par- ties, but it'll be nice to carry things home from the grocery and the mar- ket!’ “I guess I rather took the wind out of her sails, for she just opened her mouth and shut it again without a word. She needn’t think she did such a wonderful thing when she married Julius! I wouldn't like to be any man’s second choice just because he couldn’t get the girl he wanted first! “Did you ever notice how funny it is that some women seem born to ride in electrics and others never fit in? Emma seems that kind. She always looks to me as if she was the cook or chambermaid sent out on an errand and not quite comfortable. She shows so plainly that she fsn’t used to riding in an electric. Anyhow, I'll bet anything it was a secondhand one | when Julius bought it, because he's awful tight with his money. She needn’t put on airs with it! “As for me, I hope she enjoys her- self with that car, poor thing! She has little enough else to enjoy in life, married to a shrimp like Julius! No, !
