There! Now what do you think of your kitchen crock?” Dicky stepped back admiringly trom the dining- table, were he had Jjust finished arranging the flowers he had bought in the coarse brown jar spainst which I had protested to no avail, To my housewifely mind, the idea of a plece of kitchen pottery as a re- ceptacle for flowers was ridiculous and I had felt much {rritation at Dicky not only for putting aside my opinion with a careless quip, as if it were no importance, but for persist- ing in carrying the unsightly thing into the dining room and putting the flowers into it. But as I looked at the yellow daffo- @ils, the white narcissi, and the deli- cate ferns rising out of the dark brown earthen jar, I realized the ar- tstic sense that had led Dicky un- erringly to seleot it. Placed careless- ly within it, some of the blossoms standing proudly upright, others lean- ing lovingly over the side of the dish, they looked exactly as if they were rising from the earth where they were grown. I love flowers so much that the very sight of them mellows me, no matter how upset I am. As I gazed at the exquisite blossoms, I felt my irritation at Dicky leave me. After all, he had been right about the jar, and I could not believe he had meant to wound me. I slipped my hand into his arm. “They are lovely, Dicky,” I said softly. “I take it all back about the jar. It is the only thing for these blossoms, isn’t it?” “Of course,” Dicky replied laconi- cally. “Queer, how some of the cheapest, coarsest pieces of pottery have colorings which are a delight to the eye.” “Dinner all served,” announced Katie from the kitchen door. Then her_eyes fell upon the table, where Dicky had jumbled dishes and silver in a heap to make room for his ar- rangement of the flowers, and her face grew dark with.anger. I hastened to avert the storm I krew was brewing. “Never mind the dishes, Katie,” I sald soothingly. ‘Mister Graham put ! them to one side when he arranged | the flowers. We will put them all| back again ourselves. Bring on the! dinner.” A Request Forgotten. Katie departed grumbling under her | breath, but I affected not to hear- her. 1 rearranged the dishes and silver and | when she brought in the ovsters she was serene again. !

In spite of the de- pressing incidents of the morning, my spirits reflected Dicky’s, and we had a “Nothing to do for me, only to cut Lp that cheese Katie bought last night into small pieces.

I'll make the sandwiches right here. Bring me the can-opener and a sharp knife. Then you may do the dishes.” things. I had opened two or three of the cans, and put the contents into dishes, when I heard the door bell ring. Dicky went to the door, and T keard Lillian Gale’s high voice and her husband’s deeper tones. T looked at the clock. It was only kalf past three in the afternoon. Surely they had not come to stay through the evening at this time! “A PAIR OF SIXES” AT PARSONS’ TONIGHT “A Pair of Sixes,” the farce Which New York critics declared to be the | funniest play ever seen on the New York stage and which ran for an en- tire year at the Longacre theater, New York, will be presented at the Parsons theater tonight and for two performances tomorrow by a company of well known actors, each of whom has appeared at one time or another The table was soon spread with the ' By DOROTHY CLARKE She wore an afternoon dress of black taffeta The bhodice was very plain and had sleeves of black silk net over flesh-color net, ecndng in ruffles over the hand was a standing frill of black around the back of the neck; the skirt was full and shirred around the hips on gold thread and a fold of antique gold cloth showed beneath the hem The broad sash was made of very heavly embroidered Oriental silk, which gave such a rich net “THE WIFE” SCORES BIG HIT AT POLI'S “The Wife,” a serious play of love in the New York production. It is in three acts. The author is Edward FPeple. The plot deals with two part- | ners, who disagree as to the relative | importance in the conduct of a pros- rerous patent medicine business, and | they decide, after much squabbling and irritation, to sever their business 11 terests. But their partnership agreement does not provide for any | method by which they can end their| relations. Their lawyer is called in, but they decline his various business ideas and he finally suggests the in- expensive method of playing a show- down poker hand to see which of the partners will have control of the busi- ness, as well as the direction of the other partner’s affairs. “Dancing Around” with Al Jolson, merry little meal, while Katie beamed | at our appreciation of her efforts. i “Here, Katie.” As Dicky finished | a large slice of Katie's cream pie, he | held out a’ half-dollar to her. “That’s | in. recognition of a mighty good din- re: “Tank you,” rejoined Katie. ‘I no care if you put dishes on floor next time.” Dicky frowned slightly as she left the room. “Too fresh, by far, commented. “Can’'t down a little?” I felt my old irritation at Dicky's inconsistency rising within me. When he had found that Katie, whom I had engaged as cook, 'was the girl who had formerly done the housework in the bachelor apartment which he had shared with three other artists, he Lad been delighted. “Now T'll have the chance to finish that painting of Poland for which she was posing when she disappear- ed,” he had said to me, and addkd, “For heaven's sake, Madge, keep her Put up with anything from her until after I finish that painting.” I remembered the words as if he had just spoken them. The memory of them tinged my speech as I re- plied: “You surely do not suppose I like her manner any better than you do. But you told me to put up with anything from her, so that she would stay until after you had finished that painting for which she was posing. There is no surer way of making her angry than to try to ‘tone her down,’” as yvou cxpress it. She is positively irrepre: sible, and to do the girl justice, I be- lieve it is not freshness, and high spirits.’” I suppose 1o man likes to be put in the wrong and Dicky is a perfectly normal man. So 1 was not surprised when he took refuge in a shaft of irony. “Really, this lecture is extraordi- narily interesting. If there is any more coming, you ought to charge a tee.” 1 thanked my stars for Katie's en- trance at that moment with the coffee. I could not have trusted my voice to answer Dicky, and Katie's presence of course solved the diffi- culty. As she served the coffee and nuts, decided to avert all other possibili- 'ties of disagreement before the even- irg. that girl,” you tone he her Lillian Gale Arrives. “I am afraid you will have to ex- cuse me now,” T said quietly after bastily drinking my coffee. “I must get those sandwiches out of the way as early as possible.

Mothers of little children will be sure to welcome this coat.

If a simpler garment is wanted, the cape can be omitted, and in such case, it is pretty to smock the fulness in place of gathering it.

Warmly lined with worsted, it is cut with a yoke, a crushed belt and a flare. Like the collar and cuffs, beav- er borders the brim of the velvet ban- net, which has a rose on one side. Many a coat the mo s effective beciuse the fur on it is in very narrow tards. Little garlands of flowers loop up tulle-puffed skirts or cascaded draped effects. Broad silk and narrow souta-he Praids both play their respective roles on cloth suits and one-piece serge frocks. House plants must have fresh air. i S AR . Worse Than To offer a gift and then blame the recipient for accepting it would be a mean and unreasonable thing to do, wouldn't it? You can scarcely' believe that one would be capable of such thing. And yet there are people are continually doing that sort thing, and almost everyone does once in a while. For instance, there were five of us the other night when a game of bridge was proposed. Of course, each one immediately insisted that she didn’t care whether she played or not, would rather sit out, in fact but one girl was even more insist- ent than the rest and was finally permitted to sit out. She Held Her Sacrifice Up Against Us She had done this once or twice before and the next day I heard her say something about how awkward it was to always have five people about so that one had to sit out. The tone in which she said it was distinctly resentful. You could see that she resented having been per- mitted to sit out. Her sacrifice (which by the way she insisted at the time was no sacrifice at all) Was a gift which she plainly blamed the recipients for accepting. any: a who of it Household Notes When inclosing stamps in a letter put them in loose. Varnished paper is often a good covering for the kitchen walls Chickens should not be allowed: to go out in snow or rain in winter, Ammonia in warm water will re- move grease spots on rugs like magic. There should be no curtains be- tween window plants and the sun- [ shine. It is always most economical to keep two or three pairs of shoes going at once. Always stuff wet shoes with tissue paper until the moisture is absorbed. Olive oil, a teaspoonful each day, is an excellent way of taking fats in- to the system. Vinegar and cold water, applied with a cloth, will clean the mica in stove-doors. A few chickens in a pen will al- ways' lay more eggs than when the pen is crowded. When boiled ham is taken out of the pot it should be put on a dish with the rind side down, then the juices will not run out into the dish. It is sald that there is a new hat protector in the shape of a rub- berized veil which can be carried in one's purse or handbag. One who is too thin should try taking, before retiring, a lunch of bread, butter and milk which has not been robbed of its cream. To warm rolls properly put them into a deep dish and cover them tight- 1y. The steam being confined will make the rolls soft and fresh. Put a large sponge in the bottom of the umbrella jar to absorb moist- ure. It should be taken out on sweéping days and dried in the sun. Extract of tobacco applied to plants afflicted with green lice will keep the plant in good condition.

Some years ago I used to a woman who entertained a great deal. She had no servants and of course her guests always offered to help her. Again and again she would vigofously refuse their help and then, when they scarcely knew how to override her objections, she would set them down in her mind as lazy and ungrateful. The Time I Caught Myself, The other day I caught myself at this trick. On a very warm day I had offered to do an errand for someone. The errand involved a considerable walk. I had insisted that I would not mind that, but the walk was so hot and dusty that 1 was completely done up when I ar- rived. As 1 sat there, fanning my- self, I found my heart full of re- sentment against my friend. For what? 1 asked myself, and was ashamed to find that I had no other cause than that she had accepted my freely-offered service. Any gift which is not freely given is robbed of half if not all its value, And this applies to the gifts of ser- vice and sacrifice as well as material gifts. 0 o SO know | Fads and Fashions Many of the evening gowns are trimmed with rows of rose buds. Rose and white chiffon made into cascaded skirts and fluffy corsages. The splendid brocades are used 1Plefly as trains on evening dresses. Ball muffs are most approjriately worn with very small choker collars. Some of the newest frocks have skirts made entirely of ribbon ruffies. They are making chestnut burrs of soft fur and putting them on hats, Muffs may be diamond shaped with a tassel hanging from one corner Some of the newest velvet dresses have deep V-shaped inserts of moire ribbon. Callott is said to use fur in a mo-t.’ attractive manner on evening cor- sages of tulle. The most effective noveltles among neckwear are on the stock and turn- over order. Gray astrakhan is particularly at- tractive in a dark gray or dark blue costume. Georgette crepe seems to be the favorite material from which to make dressy blouses. There are new boots with vamps of patent leather and tops of a soft- colored leather. 3 Curious metal ornaments, like the chain meshes /of a purse, are used on military-looking suits, Rich and becoming is a dress of white plush, embroidered arourfl the bottom with black silk. Sealskin and mole are very much™ used for the soft draped choker col. lars on the new tailored suits. ) in on Flowers are used extensively the shape of kn s and garlands the simpler evening tollettes. Mole is one of the best furs for' the high choker collars found on so many new models of tailored suits. A very pretty evening gown is made with bodice of flowered taffeta and a full skirt of plain mousseline. Turbans take fantastic shapes; some of them are of velvet so fold and turned as to resemble a i bird. A very rich brocade of gold tiswee is sometimes used for simple corse= let bodices fashioned with plain tulle skirts. Y.M.T.A.B. FAIR Hanna’s Armory T. A. B.
