To of a Wife my surprige and disgust I found also in my heart an unworthy little wish that I could tell her the truth, that the epveted drawing-room had been securéd for me, proffered to me and refused by me. “He's a dear!” she rejoined. “I hurried right over to tell you, so you could vither come in with me or go back in with your mother-in-law. There's no need now for your being crowded in with those three girls.” “It won't be necessary, anyway,” I replied sedately. “When father heard of that arrangement he secured a drawing-room for me. He said that it was lucky it was spring instead of fall. The traffic is comparatively light going down at this time.” A mother.in-law glared at me. g y, dida’t you tell me about this?" she snapped. “I have only known it myself a few minutes,” I returred a bit airily for I must confess that I was feminine rd & Herrmann Co.

It is you, however, who will have the drawing-room alone, for, ot course, now I can take Junlor with me.” .. “Of course you will do mno such thing,” my mother-in-law snapped. “That blessed baby stays with me. You'll be so excited with all this wed- ding palaver that you'd probably for- get he was on the train. You come in and take care of him when I need you. I'll see to him the rest of the time.” What Madge Realized. “Her Tluffiness” is an eminently tactful little person. She struck into the conversation premptly with the evident laudable intention of divert- ing the subject. Had she known it, however, I was not in the least dis- turbed by my mother-in-law’s dis- agreeable comments. I knew that she had no such opinion of my careless- ness as she expressed, and was simply voicing in this fashion her childish chagrin at not being the recipient of a similar gift (o the ones Mrs. Durkee and I had received. “Won't the girls be wild, though?" she said gleefully. “They'll be the only ones to be crowded.

But I wouldn't ask that Rita Brown. I'd as soon have a trained leopard in my room.”s A thermometer tes: of my feelings at this moment would have seen them descending swiftly below the zero mark. For I, too, would have pre- ferred the company of a trained leop- ard or any other menagerie habitant to that of Rita Brown, but I saw, alas too clearly, thc fate to which, all unconsciously, the gifts of Major Grantland and my father had con- demned me. Mother Graham Guesses. To be crowded into a drawing room with Rita Brown and the Fairfax girls would be bad enough, but at ; least there I would have Leila's com- pany—Leila, whom I genuinely like. But to be shut in alone with Rita Brown for the journey! In Major Grantland's phrase—which returned with crushing irony to my mind—it was “unthinkable.” But I knew that common decency would compel me to ask the girl to share my dressing room, especially as Mother Graham had insisted upon taking Junior with her. I could not travel in state alone while the little bride-to-be was so crowded. I knew subtly, too, that little Mrs. Durkee expected such a proffer from me. Cattily I resolved that I would make no announcement of my intention un- til the very last moment possible, when Miss Brown—as had been planned beforehand—should meet us at the station upon the night of our departure. “What a fierce little person vyou are!" I commented idly when she had finished speaking. *“Which particu- lar member of the menagerie is my prototype in your vocabulary?"” “Get me a dictionary before you sling any more of that talk,” she an- swered slangily but good-humoredly. “And—mercy on me, but.T must run along! I've got a thousand things to do.”™ “It's a pity she didn’t think of that before,” my mother-in-law comment- ed acidly when the door had closed upon her. *“What a peacock she is about that drawing-room. It's al- most a shame you didn’t tell her that fool Grantland had offered it first to you." T am afraid I stared at her in open- mouthed amazement. “Oh, I'm not quite a blindfolded idiot yet, if I am pretty nearly in my dotage!” she retorted “And vyou were a good girl to refuse it, too. Now don’t be a fool and tell Richard about ite She returned to her sewing with lips shut in their usual grim fashion. 1 repressed an impulse to embrace her warmly, for I saw she was not in the mood for endearments. But my heart was warm at this rare, unex- pected but thoroughly characteristic piece of justice on the part of my mother-in-law. e Velvet Touch A Convenient Payment Down and $2-5° Weekly Brings to Your Home Today This .
