MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1912. aTTWrTTne WaT skilled msoTneTTOee I go seeing the purport of her conversa tion when he had not been listening, now he was quite nonplused. But he hasarded a guess, based on previous complaints. ."Yon aald we needed new sofa far the parlor, bat that we must have a lamp first" aald Mr. Gadwall boldly., His wife's smile warned him that he had committed himself tn some way. "Yon are too clever for me, Henry," she aald sweetly. "We do need the sofa, and yon have promised It to me for- Christmas. About the lamp by saving 184 Babble Froth soap wrap pers we can get a beautiful lamp as premium. It won't cost as a penny." "Welir Inquired Mr. GadwalL "What do you think of the Ideal" "Do Flower A Meal keep UT" "No there's the trouble. It can only be bought at one of the Babble Froth etoros In town. I thought yoa would not mind bringing down a box of soap now and then. When yos're commut ing It's easy to atop In one of their downtown stores and get a small box." "Very well," retained Mr. Gadwell rellevedly; "If that's all that's required I goess we can have a parlor lamp. Why not wait a little while not ae long as yon will be collecting soap wrappers and go to a china store and bay a lamp straight?" , , "That's Gadwall extravagance" la mented Mrs. Gadwall. : "What Is the nse of paying $15 for a lamp when I can get a fifteen dollar lamp free with only 184 soap wTappere?" . "Enough eaid!" declared Mr. Gad wail crisply. ' "Make oat yonr soap order an I'll uflng some np tomorrow night although I won't promise to ahave with It" The next evening when Mr. Gadwall alighted from the train at Lawn Vlllaa be carried a weighty package down the half mile of road that separated blm from bis suburban home.. 1 He thumped It (Town on the kitchen table with a mighty groan. "There, Bars hi The next consignment of this confounded soap . yon want yoa can have sent down by express) My arm is stiff and sore." , . Mrs. Gadwall was busily cutting the cords that confined the cakes of soap. "I thought If you brought the soap down we could save exprese charges and have the lamp a clear profit" she explained. "There, tbat'e the toilet soap. : Isn't It sweet and refreshing, Henry?" "Smells greasy," be declared, wrin kling bis nose with disgust See the trademark, Henry a ma' glclan scrubbing a little black boy white with Babble Froth eoep," par- sued Mrs. Gadwall, undaunted by his criticism. "Isu't it appropriate?" It would be more appropriate If they had the magician transforming a worn out horse Into a cake of Babble Froth soap," grinned Mr. ' Gadwall, somewhat mollified by this flash of bis own' wit' -' Henry Gadwall! Why, It says on the wrapper that It Is made from pure' ly vegetable oils. Then if that's so It must be made from horeeradlKb." he retorted, escap Ing from the room. After that It became a common sight to see Henry Gadwall staggering home under a load of soap. Somehow the large cakes softened and melted mys teriously in tlie water and did not Inst It made what Mr. Gadwall called a violent" lather, which was the only quality borne out by the highly color ed advertisements. At first all the Gadwalls ased Bub ble Froth soap, but after little Horace GuiJ wall's teuder skin had broken forth In. an alarming eruption, which the family physician declared to be due to the use of (be soap, his cake of cas tlle was restored to hie little fingers. and one member of the family was freed from the tbralldom of the new cleanser. 1 Mr. Gadwall was the next deserter from the ranks. He claimed that the new soap did not properly cleanse, that It's perfume , was disagreeable, and. moreover, that it chapped- bis skin. As cold weather was coming on. he could testify to this latter fact by displaying cracked and bleeding fin gers and lips from the too vigorous nse of the soap. As for Mrs. Gadwall, as time went on she grew to hate the very sight of Bubble Froth soap. Her washerwom- 1 ad complained that It did not properly cleanse the clothes. ; Her maid protest ed that It was useless for dishwashing. Her own experience was thnt It was ruining her own good complexion, and still with a persistence worthy of a better object she stuck to the soap, although In the cellar there was accu mulated a formidable- pile of unused cakes on. a shelf In a dark corner, while Mr. Gadwall made his periodical purchases of soap aud Mrs. Gadwall saved the wrappers. The parlor lamp loomed up largely on the horizon now. Mrs. Gadwall bad made a trip to town and looked (it the articles displayed' In the Inrce ure- mlem room of the BnhMe Froth iwople. and she came home with reuetved con fidence and enthusiasm concerning a very handsome lamp she had seen. "Wrought Iron base. Henry, and has an art shade highly ornamented with art glass In amber, and It hue a long beaded frluKe. It's Just l-nutlful!. . j very well, my desr: I'm sliul you "" returned Henry Gmlwnll. who I " XSLI'iiL "?ar7 u U J'i' i'l.'-' I 6BV' ' tv gloomy Brenrent El TSW de clared that hie dishes, his clothes and hie bone smelted rankly of Babble Froth soap. Mrs. Gadwall had changed three washerwomen on account of the soap, and she bed only retained Bridget be cause she had promised that hard working damsel her - own choice of soaps If ehe would remain. Then there were more unused cakes added to the pile In the cellar, and after awhile no one in the bouse used It but Mrs. Gad wall continued to purchase It for the lamp was a tangible thing now, with only ten more eosp wrappers standing between it and the Gadwall's front parlor. - At last one snowy morning In Febru ary Mrs. Gadwall untied the email package her husband bad brought home the night before and disclosed the last ten cakes of soap that abe had asked him to purchase. Gayly she stripped off the wrappers and once more counted the total number she possessed 184 at last! Half an hoar after luncheon she came into the kitchen dressed for out doors. "Bridget" she announced, 'I'm going Into town on the 2:03. Yon will look after little Horace when he wakee from bis nap?" - . "Yes, ma'am," said Bridget cheerfully as her mistress laid a shining half dollar on the kitchen table. "I'm afraid you'll be havln' a terrible time of It It's ralnln' now and free tin' as It falls." "I shall probably return with Mr. Gadwall," said she hastily, "and, oh, Bridget!" -"Yes, ma'am." "If the charities department wagon abould call for contributions yoa can give them all that soap in the cellar." "Yee, ma'am there'll be 142 cakes, I'm tblnkin'," returned Bridget Mrs. Gadwall clutched the bag con talning her soap wrappers and walked waniy to toe station, it was ail up hill, and she had to tramp In the mid dle of the snowy road. It was raining and freezing as it fell. She told her self that they would have to take cab when she and Henry returned that evening. But somehow she missed ber hus band.' Delayed street traffic made ber late tn reaching bis office, and be bad departed for home on an earlier train, so bis stenographer said. "On account of the storm," the young woman bad added. - Mrs. Gadwall was late In reaching the premium store of the soap com pany, but at last she surrendered ber precious wrappers and received In re tarn a large and showy lampwlth mucn arc giaas in its maaeup. "Shall we send It madam?" Inquired the clerk, bat Mrs. Gsdwsll recollected that the Coivlns were coming over to play cards that evening, and she want ed the lamp to display to tbelr admir ing and possibly envious eyes. " "I will carry It If yon will wrap It carefully," she said, and In spite of bis protestations against the Icy and In clement weather Mrs. Gadwall set forth with two huge bundles, one containing the lamp and the other the precious "art" glass globe. She dismounted from the train at Lawn Villas with several other com muters,, who, laden with bundles, rail ed at the delayed service on the line. The storm had ceased, stars shone over bead, but underfoot the walking was Icy and treacherous. At different turnings one after an other of ber fellow travelers left her until Mrs. Gadwall bnd to make ber way down her own dimly lighted street alone. She passed the Coivlns' bouse nnd, seeing a light In an upper room, decided thnt they were preparing for their card game. , ... The sicbt caused ber to hasten ber steps. FaKtcr she walked, noting with satisfaction that Henry bad cleared the walks In front of their place and wondering why he had not come forth to meet her. The lamp and shade were fearfully heavy, mid her arms ached from carrying them, as well ns ber clumsy fur-muff. ' -.- - She manured to open the gate with an elbow and started down the walk toward the front door, which flew 0CB at that Insfant. dls-lonliig The. anxious face of Mr. Henry findwall.A "Is that yon.
