My darling Davy: For the hundredth time—how we hit on this plan of writing out our respective sides of each “dispute’” that comes up between us, instead of “fighting it out” verbally. BEs- pecially with my temper! I always used to too much or to little, and got so mad anyhow that L forgot afterward what I did say. Well, this morning I was sitting at my desk answering your ‘‘case” against going alone to those bohemian frolics when Katie came in to oil the floor, and you know how Katie loves to talk. “My, but you look poosely, Mis' Temple,” she said. rit Jookin’ for? Ain’t got no reel trouble, I hope?” I chewed my pen a second, trying to figure out whether it was a “reel trouble, David, this question of your having vour friends and I having mine, and each of us running with a different crowd. up to Katie. Katie’s got a lot of sense. “It’s this way, Katie,” I explained (Katie sat back on her heels de- lightedly, suspending the oil rag to listen), “Mr. Temple loves gay little sociable parties that keep up late—bohemian crowds, vou know: lots of eats and drinks and music and stunts by men and women who mostly make their livings on the stage, and——" “I know, Miss Cora, you needn’t tell me any trouble, missy. Yer husband goes a-traisin to take you along. Ain’t men the cussedest: it “No Katie. It's just the opposite. He does take me along. don’'t want to go.” Katie dropped the oil rag and stared, “You—you dont want to go? Did you say you don't want to g0, Miss Cora? -Well, of all the puzzles:I ever see or heard tell of!» I shook my head. “I hate it, Katie. And I'm trying to make David go without me. You see, I dow't want him to give up his friends. He likes that sort of thing.” Katle went back to her floor without a word, rubbing with zest. “All I can say, Miss Cora, chile, is that some of you white Iadies don’t 'pear to know when yowre well off. You got a husband that's willin’ and anxious to tote you everywhere he steps foot, and you hangin’ back tryin to make him go ’'long without you. I—I hope, Mis’ Temple, I hope to Gawd there wont no punishment happen to you!” 4 I understood perfectly what she meant, Davy, and I didn’'t laugh. I hadn’t thought of 1t that' way before—that I was not appreclating a situa. tion that thousands of wives would give anvthing to be in. Katie was slapping the oil rag around frantically!—She was dying to talk some more so I asked her what she’'d do under the circumstances. “Do! Do, Miss Cora? Well, all I can say is that when my ole man was allve I'd 'a had to be chlorofoamed to keep me home if he was going salivantin’ off anywheres. But I spoze white folks is different. White gen'men can be trusted farther. So In your case, Miss Cora, I'd comper- mise! They ain’t nothin’ in this world—specially marriage—that don’t have to be compermised some. You gotter give in. He's gotter give in You gotter put up with his meannesses. He's gotter put up with your high strikes and things, begging your pardon, Miss Cora. Yes, ma‘am T'd go to as many of them shindigs as I could stand for. = And. eqm. promise on the rest!” I'm going to take Katie's advice, Dave. often. thankful iL am that “Watcher so wor- I decided to put it more. them I parties know and your don’t But I frantic Let’s compromise. 5 I'll go— And in return you won’t ask me to go—always. £ Will you? I asked the niece of a neighbor of mine the other day what she thought of another girl who is in her class in college. She’s a terrible grind,” she said. “Exactly what do you mean by that?"” “She studies makes us tired. “Doesn’t she go in for any of other college activities?” “Oh, yes,” grudgingly; “but always has her work done just same.” It was evident that she regarded such a devotion to the purpose for which colleges were originally found- ed as a cardinal sin. Sixty Per Cent. of Undergraduates No, of course they don’t. Why then should it be thought dis- graceful to succeed in college by dint of learning the hardest lesson in the world, how to concentrate and keep on concentrating? ‘When you analyze the feeling can find several causes behind it. In part it is a reaction against a scheme of college life which laid stress on mental education to the boHt‘tling of the needs of the body and the importance of social life.

M Graham and I decided rather sud- denly to take a day in the country. In fact’—with a touch of embar- rassment—‘‘we are going house hunt- ing.” My heart gave a little leap of joy, in which, T am afraid, there was more than a soupcon of malicious satisfac- tion. I was meanly glad that Dicky had forgotten to telephone her. It showed that his beautiful model, who was also his secretary and protegee, dld not occupy as impartant a place in his daily thoughts as I had been afraid she did. I knew also what Dicky’s embar- rassment in speaking of our hou hunting was due. Before he even had spoken to me about living in the country for the summer, Miss Draper had selected a house for use near her olster’s home in Marvin. The is a o1 deed to have accepted such a flimsy pretext. But had she believed it? I was not so sure as I caught a flash from her eyes toward me when she thought I was not looking at her. She veiled her eves with her wonderful lashes in an instant when she met my gaze, ut she was not quite quick enough to conceal the venom which they con- tained. I had seen that look before in other eves, not frequently, but often | cnough to recagnize it. In the course | of my teaching, I had come across two or three school girls who hid be- | hind beautiful faces tempers and dis- pesitions that Satin himself might envy. When thase girls had been | thwarted in any chefished design, | that same look leaped into their eyes. | 1t had always seemed to me like the | look of a treacherous animal, waiting | its chance to strike. | From that moment I began defi-| nitely to dread Grace Draper. It was' with a positive start of dismay that T saw her turn and begin to descend | the stairs toward the station, saying coolly: “If we stand talking here any longer we shall miss the train back. ! I don't believe I feel like shopping or running around the city today. If sou have nathing for me to do,” she looked at Dicky, “I might as well take the train back to Marvin with you.” | If T could have screamed aloud as | I followed her down the stairs, or| if I cauld have seized the smooth ! white column of her throat rising above her blue coat, and have turned | memory of my quarrel with Dicky over this presumption on the part of his model was still fresh in my mind. Then, when the night before he had proposed our trip to Marvin, he had casually remarked that ‘ the house| | Miss Draper had selected had been| rented. i I was curious to know what answer| | she would make. But her poise was perfect. Not a trace of confusion or; resentment in her manner, not the siightest deepening of the rose pink . flush in her cheek. | “Your not telephoning does mnot| | matter in the least, Mr. Graham,” she | assurea him smoothly. “You know | I have my monthly ticket, so the, extra ride doesn’t cost me anythimg, and it is such a perfect morning I was glad to watch the spring landscape through the car window. There are some wonderful spots on Which to try cne’s brush between here and Marvin,” l She turned to me, courteously, but | with just a suspicion of hauteur in | | I | | | her lifted chin. “It is unfortunate that you do not re for hedges, Mrs, Graham. I am sure you would have liked the place I found for you immensely if it had had the fence you desired, instead of | a hedge. It is such an _attractive | little home! And I am afraid you will be disappointed if you have set vour heart on a home with fenced-in | grounds. Long Island villages, you know, run rather to hedges.” Not care for hedges? I, to whom nothing is so beautiful as a tall well- kept hedge sheltering a home from the idle curiosity of the passers-by! |} | I was about to utter a disclaimer to her words when I caught an agonized i glance from Di and closed my lips. | Miss Draper’s Plan, This then, was the way Dicky had | solved the problem of the house Miss Draper had selected.

Keeney's affords you a splendid opportunity to observe | the famous comedian in the role of a porch climber tonight and tomor- row when the Essanay feature, “Po- lice,” which has been attracting so | much attention all week will be shown. The picture has been draw- ing large audiences to the theater daily and judging from the laughs which punctuate every inch of the film, there is no disappointment over it. Chaplin is seen in his old-time form in the comedy and his work is very amusing. Unlike most of the pictures in he has appeared, “Police,” is story and is connected from to finish. Charlie is given al chances to show his eccentri- and acrobatic ability and he | doesn’t miss a single one of them.

In addition to the photoplays the theater is offering three vaudeville acts that seem to be exceptionally pleasing. La Feora, the popular Jav- anese dancer, fascinates the audience | by her grace and abilitly as an inter- | preter of Oriental numbers.
