ICG1R 0 M ji v. By Kvlyn 'Wood Lovejoy. DICK Garish ought to have bean supremely content and happy, a he eat down to his well-laden din ner table, facing one of the tidiest and sweetest little housewives that ever graced a man's home. His bachelor friend, Rrnetst Btraton. who "tat on the right of Mrs. Garish, would glad ly have surrendered all the luxury of his rich apartments, lor a cosy home like tli is tme, could he have been sure of capturing; a matrimonial prire such as Dick had won. For a year he had been swinging between "I'll venture" and "I won't risk It,", as he was enter tained b one and another of his old chums, some of whom haJ drawn blanks that staggered him, and ethers, priaes that lured him to test his fate. Today he wu dangerously near the venture point, as he looks across Ihe table at the pretty sinter of Mrs. Gar ish.. He Is wondering how it would seem to have her lay her soft hand on his arm, and look up roguishly into his face, as she Is looking now into JIo. "Hang It, is his mental ejaculation. "There ought to be a law against girl belne Bo free with their brothers-in-law. "Save ra a drumstick, please," this charming sister-in-law, Itorion Hunt, was snylng to Dick. "Getting read for another century . spin? I guess you'll need both of these drumstick If you expect to feed mus- rle. Thin turkey is cooked to death, lH)lly. It is as much overdone as the ' last one was underdone. A shadow crinm-d the smile from the face of Mrs. Oarish, and the red blood dyed her cheeks. 'I'm sorry, Welt. I tried to' have it Just right this time," she answered de- . precatingly. ' "Oh, it'll do. I trues v You'll do it better next time, perhaps: I tell you what it is. Ernest, nobody ever cooks turkey quit so well as mother. We expected hor this ' Christmas, but she wrote that she couldn't gtft away for a day Or two "Verr wry.'' said' Mr. Stratton. po litely, though he felt like choking his friend. 1 have hctard that "mother's rooking always seems the1 beet to her I boya, specially, after they leave home.

' 'Marion looked at him with, consider ably more- approval than she had here- tofore done.' There would be no ' "mothers cooking" as a bugbear to his wife. Shs was bit startled at the fault finding of Dick. She had visited her sister but once before since her mar riage, and that was soon after the ; honeymoon, when Iick was too happy to see any faults In IJoIly. Now, she had observed that at every meal there Was something which did not-Just suit Ms taste, but she did not think he would be so thouhthss as to criticise the food when company was present, even though the company was an in timate friend. Such a kind indulgent - husband, and. great-hearted fellow must not become a weakAypetttc'anTi wife-worrier for' lack of a little disci pline. She meant to take the matter in hand herself. She praised the dlf- ' ferent wishes extravagantly, and called - on Krnest to second her. He readily took the cue; and heartily Joined in laudation of the dinner, which would have done honor to any housewife. Aftcp the meal -was enaes. warion helped- Holly about washing the fine china, which could not be trusted to the young girl, who was the only maid Mrs. Oarish could afford. "Yen were so good. Marion, to praise my dinner, but I know why you did It," said Doily, nervously wringing out her dishcloth. "The turkey was a little overdone on one side.. I-know, but hut " then the tears she had before heroically kept back rolled down threat eningly toward the dish pan. In an instant Marion had dropped her dlshwlper, and had her arms about her sister.

I won't have 'mother's cooking' forever dinned into my ears.", Dolly laughed in spite of herself. "How would Ernest do?'" she asked, wiping away the tears with one hand, and patting Marlon's cheek with the other. 4 "Oh, he's an-, inveterate old bachelor, and bid bachelors are worse than moth t-rs-in-la w." ' Marion did not know that the kitchen door was ajar, and that Ernest in pass im through the hall caught her last words. He bit his lips, and then smiled, as tne boys used to see him Bmile, when he wus ready to start on one of the col lege races. The next day a letter eanie from Mother Garish, saying she would surely spend New Tear's with them, andliieic wait to meet her at the station 'the afternoon before. This set Marion in a great flutter. She had never seen this wonderful cook, but Dolly had, and had learned to love her. Marion was deter mined that everything about the house keeping: should be above reproach. Hhe had many consultations with Dolly, which ended with calling In a first-class eookto help them the day before Dick's mother was expected. Of course, Dick must not know about it. The cook was spirited into the house after he had gone to his business in the morning, and was not seen when he came heme to his dinner at night. The strangest part of it was that Ernest brought her. He and Marion were fast becoming good friends. As he did not make love to her, and did make himself useful, 'she. accepted his comradeship, and called him Into serv ice. He was Invited to dinner that night, ami Dick insisted on his sharing their New Year's feast also, "For," said he,, "1 m going to have mother give us one of her old-fashioned dinners, and you shall eat roast turkey as is roast tur key" this last emphatically. Ernest smiled, and said nothing would please him" more, looking straight at Marlon, who smiled, too, and blushed be comlnirly. "How did you ever learn to make fcuch. delicious biscuits?" she asked her sister. -yVoukln't they satisfy the most perverse old epicure, Brother Dick?" poking his elbow. "They are fair, yes, pretty fair," he owned, "but Just wait until you see some of mother's cooking. Why. they Just melt in your mouth! Dolly thinks she cooks pretty well, hu1,bo she does, but' I count a good deal on having mother show her how to make things. Mother always had a knack of fixing veal cutlets better than anybody else." "I don't see how these could bo im proved," Ernest politely remarked. "I'm sure I thank you," Mrs. Garish said with some feeling. "It seems to me it is the things which we don't have that We imagine to be the best. I hope 1 shan't always be crying for last year's sunshine." 'Dick dropped his fork and stared at Dolly. . He had never seen her show so much' spirit, and he wondered that he had not noticed lvw much handsomer she was growing. His friend seemed to JiniiJier attractive, too, for he showed her many more courteous attentions than mere politeness demanded. He had no time to think more about It. for Marion had a fit of choking, and when she was not choking and cough ing, and he was very much afraid she would have hysteria. She qulrkly ral lied, however, and he began to ques tion if Ernest had anything to do with her attack, far he observed that, when ever she caught. his eye, site would put her handkerchief to her mouth, and a queer little tremor would pass over her face. The next afternoon Mother Oarish. the wonderful cook, came. Marlon liad to own that she could believe any ex cellence in her, for she was a sweet, lovable woman. Her heart was large enough for her son's wife and that wife's sister, and they all had a very happy time together the evening be fore iNew Year's. As they separated for the night, Dick said to his mother: "I ..want you to cook our dinner to- them.

The awkward situa tion a relieved by the ringing of the dinner bell. As they entered the din--ing-room Mother Garish stood at . the head of the table. Dolly would have, .It .so. she said.

Dick any chance until the turkey was brought in. Then Dick seemed to have recovered his spirits, and began to as sert himself. "Isn't that a beauty!" he ejaculated. "Didn't I tell you mother would give ' us roast turkey as is roast turkey,? Koe how Juicy ami tender it is! I hope, Dolly, you have learned how to cook turkey todav." "Yes. Dick, I. have, I watched It every minute," replied Dolly demurely. Marlon suppressed a giggle, and Dick was afraid she was going to choke again. The rice pudding and pies which fol lowed were all. lavishly extolled by Dick, and if he didn't speak up promptly, Marlon challenged his ardor by praising the dishes more extravs gantly than he did. Dolly and Mother Garish said very little.. The one was wearing the crown of success, and the other it was not strange if she could not enter so heartily into the merrymaking- as the rest. did. When they were eating the last course, Marion called out to her sitter: "Don't you wish you could make such cranberry tarts as this.- Dolly! I never tasted one so delirious." "I hadn't noticed that they were un usually good," she leplled a little dis traught. Then seeing Dick's look of surprise at --what he thought was her Ill-temper, she turned to her mother Garish and said, '.'Of course, no one win make tarts quite so good as 'mother'." ' , "I'm glad to hear you own so much." Dick said, his mouth full of the deli cacy,., "I haven't cftleii a tart like tills for a' year." "I promise you shall eat many more like ft the next year," volunteered Dolly. "I shall keep mother until she says that mine are as good as hers." "1 hope you'll ask me to sample them," broke In Krnest with unction. "My tart has disappeared already. May I have the last one. Mrs. Garish?" She handed It to him, and ns the last mouthful -disappeared. .Marlon cried out gntly: "There isn't a crumb of anything left on the table. Oh, Jolly! Now we must ail kiss the cook. Mr. Cook, stand up and be ready for salutes." Dolly arose with a very red face and very bright eyes, hut she didn't look towards Dick.

Dick turned to his mother. , She was a ' tender-hearted woman, and the way he looked at her made her think of the times when he used to come toddling to her to have his harts kissed away. "Marion is right, DJck. Dolly, and not 1, was the cook today. I prepared the dinner day before yesterday, and was so sorry to find that my biscuits and veal cutlets didn't please you, that I persuaded Dolly to cook .the dinner today." s ' , "Hut you didn't come until yester day, mother. Are you all crazy T asked Dick, bewildered. "No more than you are. I came the 'day -before; -and went back one station in ' the evening. - Mr, ; Stratton kindly looked after mo. Marion wrote me that you had a chronic complaint, called 'mother's cooking,': and begged me to come and help c-ure you. I m sure you won't have another attack, after such a fine dinner as Dolly has given us to dav " - u ', - - -v "Yes. we had "roast turkey as is roast turkey'," mimicked Marion heart lessly. "And tarts such as I've not eaten in a year." mercilessly continued Ernest. "O Brother Dick! Q Brother Dick! The cook she is your Dolly. We had to play you such a trick, To cure you of your folly I" sang Marion, who had risen, snd was dancing benind his chair, and keeping time by pulling his ears. "I'll never open my mouth again at the table," roared Dick, "and I'll stop yours too, saucy maid," Jumping up snd effectually doing what he had threatened. "If it's allowable to kiss sisters-in-law, I'll kiss mine," said the audacious Ernest, touching Dolly's cheek with his lips. "What! What!" cxclatmed Dick, quite overcome by this fresh surprise, wbilu Marion's cheeks were redder than tol ly's, and her eyes were flashing indig nantly. Dolly looked quesllonfngly at her sister.. Ernest looked fraternally at Dick, who said: "Is -that what the prett- little home, that we visited today means Ernest?" "Ask your sister," he replied cooly. "She told me yesterday that mothers-in-law are Just lovely, and as she class es me in the same category with them, of course she thinks I'm Just lovely, loo.'.' "I don't!!" flung out Marlon. "I think you're a horrid, egotistical old" She suddenly found herself alone with Ernest. Dlk hud walked out with one arm around Dollyvand the oth er around hla mother. Ernest inter cepted Marion before she could reach the door. He held out his hand as a mule sign of entreating forgiveness. "Hoar;" she breathed, easier now, that she had finished her Scut encti. "Beauty." he retaliated. "To think of your proposing right before them all!" "I didn't. I announced our engage ment." ! "How dare you." she began in Zenobia style, then something she saw in his eyes made her stop and say shyly, "but you've never never said one word of love!" "Then I'll make amends now. I love you as Jacob loved Rachel! I love you as Romeo lovod Juliet! 1 love you as Dick loves his mother's cooking! I love She turned her back upon him and stopped up her ears. In an instant he had Imprisoned her hands, ant went on: "I love you as an old bachelor loves but one woman In this world. Come, sweetheart, let's go and Invite the rest to cat roast turkey with us next New Years." " They went. old age ones grandchildren.
