When my mother-in-law wishes to express her ultimate scorn of any thing, she calls it “truck” or a “mess.’ She had come over to my side now and was holding my wristlet out, looking at it curiously.

Sa what is the difference after all? Now, 1 think Margaret's work looks beautiful.” I grasped the real purport of this speech very readily. Cousin Agatha had no interest in the matter at all, and she certainly wasn’t sincere in praising my work, for I knew how cordially she disliked me. Her only reason for defending my method of knitting was to irritate my mother- in-law. The crafty old woman be- lieved that I would naturally defend my own method of work, and that in the ensuing discussion she would be able to foment a disagreement, if not an actual quarrel, between the iras- cible mother of my husband and my- self. Her ruse succeeded as far as my mother-in-law was concerned. “What does it matter how it looks if the way of doing it is all wrong?" she snapped. “I tell you there's only one right way to knit, and that was the way I was taught.” l Her unconscious arrogance was ! turning | get me into any controversy with my OF A WIFE GARRISON sublime. 1 could not forbear a quiz- zical look at her, which Cousin Aga- tha caught and promptly interpreted. “1 am afraid Margaret doesn’t agree with you on that point,” she sald slyly, but even as my mother-in-law was angrily upon me I took a deep breath and a sudden resolve. | An Ample “Reward. ! “On! but I do, mother dear,’ sweetly. “Probably that is the reason 1 have su(h a time in learning the stitches.

And I was amply rewarded a little later when, after Causin Agatha had flounced out of the room and my mother-in-law was didactically ex- pl:\hnn;: the English method of “throwing on” the wool over the point of the knitting needle, she suddenly laid down the work and put her hand over mine. “That was a migh did just now, child, he said. “T'm not blind.
