That is such a mis- take. You must never try to make an impression on a man by calling him endearing names.” “I know that is true as a general thing, but this case was different. You see, there was a lull in the work at our office, and we girls gathered ' about the draftsman's board, and we were gossiping there.

If he weren’'t such a blindness to household matters. He doesn't recognize a domestic tragedy when it stares him right in the face. Just let me tell you about him. “When Hilda broke the news that she had to go home to see her sick | mother I told Tom that I didn’t see what in the world I'd do. “‘Do? said Tom. ‘Why it will be altogether jolly.

Without con- sulting me he sent for his sister, Flos- sle. “‘Now, you'll have first aid to the short-handed,’ he said, triumphantly, when he showed me her telegram say- ing that she was on the way. “You can imagine how much help | | 5 % Bl ed and then jofned in the laugh.

I said: ‘I never would call anyone ‘“dear” but you.'” “And no one was beside you but Mr. Gillis!” “Only Mr. Gillis.” Orange Clippers Spruce Pine Picking Ladders Cement Coated Box Nails s not want you to call any one else such names.’ “Of course my eyes snapped open then, and I was dreadfully angry! I said: ‘I did not mean to call you that!’ He said: ‘It would be easy for me to ! like it if you did."” “Gracious! What a comedy of er- rors! What did you do?” “Went back to my typewriter and hammered the keys furiously and blushed all the afternoon. Later in the day he came like a great, scared echoolboy and asked me if he might call Sunday evening. He said he would like to meet papa and mamma.” “Did you tell him he might?” “Indeed I did. I told him they would be glad to meet him.” “Ah, indeed!” “What do you mean by that?” “I was just wondering whether you didn’t know it both times when Lulu y’s Orange Plows American Field Fence Cyclone Ornamental Fence Everything usually carried “Worse and worse!

Tom came home just as we were removing almost the entire con- tents of a tube of ivory black from the baby’s yellow curls. “‘Well, Helen, I don't see what you'd do without Flossie, he sald, smiling genially at his sister, who was holding the baby while I labor- {ously washed out the paint. “‘No, I don’t know what I should do without her,’ I replied, as pleas- antly as I could. However, I was so tired of his obtuseness that I basely determined to let him see just how incapable and careless she was. “The opportunity appeared the very next day, when Tom announced that he intended staying at home from his office. “‘And I'm going to take the chil- dren and go over to mother's for lunch,’ I sald. ‘You and Flossie can have a nice qulet day by yourselves.’ “I wickedly wondered what they would have for lunch, and carefully refrained from making any sugges- tions. I felt perfectly sure that Flos- sle couldn’t cook a luncheon to nvo’ her brother from starvation, but I knew that going without one meal wouldn’t seriously injure Tom. So I bundled myself and the children oft and left him. “What do you think?
