“ Now. you listen to me. 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

That evening the Harlow’s were

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

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

Boy scout training as a program of

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

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

An event of unique Interest was the
taking of the oath of the Boy Scouts of
America by Mayor Hunter, of Terre
Haute, Ind., as part of his inaugura
tion ceremony. 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.
