Mr. Ted Hurlow,” demanded his wife, one morning ns they were seated at the breakfast table. “ If you wnnted a new fur coat, you wouldn't sit down with pencil and pad to see whether you could afford 11 or not. you’d sin> ply buy It. and then figure afterwards So, why can’t I do the same?” “ But. darling." responded her hus band pleadingly, “ you know they’re terribly high just now, and they'll surely take a drop in price a little later. If you’d only wait—" “ ‘W alt!’ ” exclaimed his wife on thi verge of tears. “That's all 1 hear ‘wait.’ I’ll not w ait!" Then she flopped her napkin down on the table. "For once in my life I'm going to have whni I want, when I want It.” And she hur ried out o f the room. Hazel Harlow was In a rage. Her ungovernable temper had 'been the cause of much repentance on her part, many times. In a few minutes she heard Ted go out of the door whistling, and that settled it. Before another , hour had passed, she was dressed for the street, and headed for Hayden’s department store. After trying on several coats with out finding one to suit, she became discouraged and was about to leave, when the clerk brought out a Hudson seal, with skunk trimming. “ How much Is It?” she Inquired breathlessly. “ Just five hundred." replied the girl, ns If she were saying five cents. “ Five hundred f" repeated Hazel thoughtfully. That was a great deni more than she had Intended paying That evening the Harlow’s were hardly on speaking lerms, you know one of those chilly sort of affairs. The next morning Ted informed his wife that he would be leaving at noon on a business trip, which would necessi tate his absence for several days. Al though, he’d try and return for her birthday. With n relieved look, Hazel hid him good-by. She would have a few days In which to wear her new coat before he saw It. As Ted liar low closed the door o f their apart ment. a delivery boy opened the lowei hall door with a ‘box for his wife- Hazel had a wonderful time visiting her friends, enveloped in her sealskin She was like a child with a new play thing. But, when the newness wore off she realized the folly of her hhstv decision, and wondered tfhnt sh>- would do If Tetl really couldn’t afford such an expensive coat. Finally her birthday enme and went with no Ted, not even n present. It was the first year he had neglected her. and It hurt. "Serves me right.' she thought, “ mn.vhe he knows all. and will never come back.” Hazel began to realize that Ted’s love and affec tion were worth more than a dozefi fur coats. “ Why did I go ngnlnst his wishes'," she thought, “ when he plead ed with rpe to wait?" The next day. tear-stained anil weary, with a box under her arm. she started In town for the store. “ I’ve worn It several times." she ex plained to the clerk, “ but I’ll pay for any damage If you’ll only take It back and credit my account.” “ Why, Mrs. Harlow,” said the girl, with a look o f surprise, “ the coat you hought was returned.” “ Returned I” gasped Hazel, Incredu lousl.v. “There"must be some mis take.” As the clerk came from the office with the Information that her account was In hfllance. nnd the coat hail been sold to another customer. Hazel, stll1 carrying the box, left the store in n daze. When she reached home nnd found n telegram stating that her husband would return that evening, her brain was In a whirl. What would she do? How could she ever explain? If the coat was not hers, then whom did It belong to? Tired nnd weary, she threw herself on the bed In a flood of tears. When Ted Harlow come In that eve nlng the soft, red glow o f the floor lamp helped to hide the swollen eyes and worried expression of his wife. "Heilo. little sweetheart I" he ex -Intmed, giving her a ford embrace; “ glad to see me back? I've had a hard trip.” “G lad!” cried Hazel, covering hh face with kisses. “Ted. I’ ve missed yon terribly.” You’d think they’d never spoken n cross word. Later, ns they sat In front of the crackling logs In the fireplace. Hazel ventured: "Darling. I’ve something awful to tell yon. I—I bought a fur coat and they won't take It back." Then trem bjlng. she outlined her predicament. “ Hazel, dear.” said Ted. soothingly, after she had finished, "you really cared enough about me to take If back ?" “Y-ycs." she half sobbed. “Can can yon ever forgive .me?” “ Forgive yon!” exclaimed her hus hand. “ I’ m afraid I’m the one that's to blame. You see, It was I who sent your coat hack, and later bought It for ••ash to give you ns a present. I In tended to Inclose my card with birth day greetings, but must have forgot ten. Thnt's wf*y 1 .«Iced yon to wfi!f ' “Oh. Teddy, dear. I’ve been so mis erahle." with tears streaming down het cheeks. “ I’ll never—never buy a noth er thing without your consent" As the fire died In the hearth. Its last flickering glow shone on the happy faces of two who had entered that realm o f fortrtvenesa which almost makes little ft *e« worth while.

Boy scout training as a program of education was given Impetus at a re cent meeting of the Boston School Masters' association. Judge Sullivan spoke of boy scout training as • civic asset The boy scout movement, he urged, was show ing grown-ups what real civic train ing should be. Superintendent Dyer advocated the boy scout program as a complement to the program of the public school, because through it character Is devel oped and leisure time employed, not only to the advantage of the boys but to the advantage of the whole com- munlty. Dean Russel described the boy scout movement as "an agency well-nigh pedagogleally perfect.” The Boston school committee passed an order authorising head masters and Junior masters of high schools and masters and sub-masters of elemen tary schools to co-operate In the organ ization and encouragement of troops of boy scouts I d the schools.

It Is undoubtedly the first time this has been done in the history of scouting in the Unite# States. This will mean more than a mere curious distinction for Terre Haute. It Is a part of the heralding to the whole land that Terre Haute has shak en off Its old mantle. The principles ef the scouts are universally recog nized, and the fact that the Incoming mayor of Terre Haute has pledged himself officially to these principles speaks significantly to the world <A what Is to be expected of Terre Haute from now on. As soon as the applause subsided, • scout stepped forward and presented Mayor Hunter with a reproduction of the McKenzie statue of a boy scout as a reminder that the boy scouts of Terre Hnute ware always ready at the mayor’s service In his efforts for a new and better Terre Haute.
