THE
BUTTERFLY
GIRL.
Hy Ttmplt HaiUy,
Copyrighted. 1908, by Awoclated
Literary Tress.
The Bret rift in tho lute came when
Albert arrived home one stormy night
and found bis bride in a fetching pink
gown, with her shining hair puffed into
a halo of gold, with pink candle shades
a the corners of the dlulng table, with
pink roses In the center and with noth
ing thereon to eat but a third day's
cold roast and leftover salad.
Albert, having kissed bis wife enthu
siastically and having changed his of
fice coat for a more formal one, peered
at the platter dubiously.
"I am desperately hungry," he said,
land there Isn't much meat left."
"I am not a bit hungry." Bettina
stated. "1 was shopping downtown
and I bad such a lunch."
"I had a sandwich, was Albert's
brief comment and after that he ate

Ton," KSM
sparingly of the lamb and the tasteless
alad and sought final solace In bis
after dinner cigar.
That evening Bettina found him
somewhat unresponsive. In vain she
played and sang his favorite songs in
her little lilting voice. In rain she
prattled of her downtown bargains. In
vain she petted him and praised him.
-Albert met all of her advances stolidly,
and the next moraine found her at her
Aunt Betsey's In tears.
"He has ceased to love me," she de
clared. "What did you give him for dinner
last night?' Aunt Betsey demanded.
Bettina faltered out her menu.
Aunt Betsey sniffed.
"No wonder he was disagreeable,'
she said. "Any man's affection would
foe frozen out by cold meat and cold
alad and warmed over coffee."
"Albert's love ought to be superior to
such things,' Bettina said. "He used
always to quote things like 'A jug of
vine, a loaf of bread and thon beside
me, singing In the wilderness.' and last
night all of my singing couldn't make
him smile."
But Aunt Betsey was severely on the
defensive.
"A Jag of wine and a loaf of bread
may be all right in hot climates," she
admitted, "but yesterday it was snow
ing, and Albert came in chilled, and
you ought to have had something fit
to eat"
"Well, thank goodness my love isn't
dependent on food," said Bettina lofti
ly. "What did you have for lunch yester
day?" Aunt Betsey probed. "You told
me you went to Milliard's."
"We had grape fruit and crab and
ejuall, and a salad and an ice. Every
thing was delicious. Mary Luttrell ln
Tited me, with a friend of hers from
out of town."
"And poor Albert had a sandwich,"
Aunt Betsey reminded Ber.
"Oh! Oh!" Suddenly the real situa
tion seemed to dawn on the little wife.
"He was really hungry, Aunt Betsey,
poor dear fellow." :
"And he had worked from 8:30 In the i
morning," Aunt Betsey went on, "and
when he came home at night, tired and
worn and nervous, he wa3 not In a
condition to appreciate lace trimmed !
ruffles, Bettina, half as much as an
appetizing dinner."
Bettina sighed. v
"Well, It does away with the ro
mance." "Dear heart." Aunt Betsey told her,
"there is a joy in service that is above
the joy of more admiration. Try mak
ing Albert comfortable and you will
get more solid happiness out of It than
by keeping him on the rack with your
coquetry."
But Bettina shrugged her shoulders.
"The way to hold a man," she de
ilared. "Is to play with him."
"The way to hold a man," said Aunt
Betsey, with a nod of her gray head,
"is to love him, and that means to
make yourself his equal in endeavor.
Then you have his respect. You" must
be the homemaker, just as Albert is
the money maker."
"But you have never married," said
little Bettina. ,"How can you know,
Aunt Betsey?"
"The people who look on from the
outside are the wise ones." said Annt
"ntwi I hnt'a aium aft mnnt
matrlmoulal shipwrecks.''
That night Albert's footsteps lagged
n little on the stairway as be climbed
to his little fiat He knew Just what
he would find at the top-Bettina,
charming in the rosy gown; the pink
candle shades, the pluk roses and cro
quettes made of the last of the beef.
Bettina always ran to big roasts, and
there yet remained to be eaten a fifth
day's soup made of the bone.
' The sound of his key In the latch
summoued no rosy vision, however.
He passed through the dining room.
The pink candles were not lighted. In
front of his place wag a copper chafing
dish, one of Bettiua's hitherto unused
wedding presents, and the bine flame
burning beneath set the contents bub
bling, and the air was laden with de
llclousuess. "Bettina,' be called, and at the sound
she came to the kitchen door. She
wore a long apron of china blue; her
hair was ruffled about her face; ber
cheeks were flaming.
"I haven't time to kiss you." she
cried gayly. "I must watch the
chops.'
Albert went Into his room somewhat
disconcerted. It was the first time
that Bettina had railed to kiss hlra. It
was the first time that his rooms had
not been In a rosy glow-and he miss
ed It
But his discomfort vanished with
the serving of the dinner.
There were oysters in the chafing
dish, panned to perfection. There were
broiled chops, a crisp salad and a pud
ding made by Bettlna's own fair bands.
And Albert ate and praised and won
dered. "I didn't know you could do It Bet
tina," he said. "You always seemed
such a butterfly girl "
Bettina laughed.
"Aunt Betsey showed me how," she
said, "and -and I really like doing If
But her eyes were a little wistful
and presently she said, "Don't you miss
anything?"
"Yes." Albert said promptly. "I da
1 miss the rosy gown and the rosy can
dies and you haven't kissed me yet
Bettina."
He went around and stood at the
back of her chair.
"I was a bear last night little girl,'
ne apologized, "Dut a man s a queer
creature, and I was tired' He folded
his hands about the oval of ber face.
"Kiss me." be said softly.
And when that rite was performed
he asked, "Can we have the candles
and the flowers tomorrow?"
But Bettina shook her bead.
"They cost too much." she said, "and
yon need the hearty food more. But on
Sundays we will make a feast of ro
mance to offset the six days of com
mon sense."
Albertslghed.
"If I were only rich," be said.
"Yon are rich," his wife told him.
with her eyes sparkling.
"How?" be questioned.
"Because you have me," said pretty
Bettina saucily.

"Mr. Bpudlong," began the youth,
hanging bis hat on the back of the
chair, "I will occupy only a few mo
ments of your time. I have come to
ask you for your daughter. I"
"Young man," said the elderly bank
er, "do you"
"Yes, sir. I realize fully that she has
been tenderly nurtured and that she is
very dear to you; also that her home is
one In which she has been surrounded
by every luxury. But she is willing to
leave it"
"Canyou"-
"No, sir; I can't quite maintain her
in the style to which she has been ac
customed, but I have a good salary,
and I am ready to chance it So is
she."
"Willyou"-
"Yes. sir; I will keep my life Insured
for a sum sufficient to provide for her
if I should be taken away."
"Would you"-
"Xo, sir; I would not expect to live
with the family. I am able to buy and
furnish a modest home for her."
"Young man," said Mr. Spudlong,
looking at his watch. "I rather like
your style. You can have her. Good"-
"Mornlng, sir." London Express.
Nothing There.
The girl had got the young man's
purse and was about to look Into it.
"Dou't open It," be said warnlngly,
"Vtny not?" she asked. "Is there
anything lu here I should not see?"
"There might be." .
"That's just why I want to open It"
"lea, but you mustn't."
"I will." And she began to open It
slowly.
"You ought to be afraid to do that"
ne said reprovingly. '
She tossed her bead. "I am afraid of
nothing!" she exclaimed defiantly.
"I know if he sighed, "and when
you see It inside that purse yoo'll be
scared to death."-London Tit-Blta.

kidney disease disappeared. I am
glad to say that I have never had a
