'" ) ' I saw clearly that ,niy mother-in-law's present mood was a ruinous oho as far as my plan for buying the wreck of the house next door and restoring it to beauty ' was concerned. And I knew that Dicky, though be did hot realize It, and probably 'would thave de nied ; the.- assertion' vehemently, was often Influenced by bis moth er' opinions. ! If, I wanted, his as sent to the, scheme, and his con RCtit tn "bs( th ' rMflpil ' )iwtr wnicn ne naq orougnt with, him at my telephoned ; request. I must ' ex ert to the 'utmost any powers of diplomacy I possessed in balder phraseology, I must, cajole' my husband into compliance with my wishes.":;': r7'f,'v'U ,' " "'".' I always have detested the, type of woman who "puts her head, on her husband's shoulder; looks up Into his face confidingly." and murmurs, "Is the ' world round ?" But I imagine that there - come times, in the life of every , woman, nos matter how. self-centered she may be, when she Is compelled by emergency to' use such, factitcs. In Dicky's , case I know that I, must more moat warily, f or I , never am sure Just how ' much he ' under- stands of. my mental, processes when there ia any matching of wits between us. t For ft full hour after supper I devoted myself to my captious mother-in-law. I meekly assented to. her strictures upon every, de tail of Mrs. Ticer's i. furnishings, and the total impossibility .of, her ever drawing - a' - comfortable breath in such a hole. I was amp- y ' rpnM hnwwwr tnw -wn-w- - na tience, because on account of her excessive fatigue' she' toriied- the to me. and during the time of her critical monologue concerning the room' I had provided for. her, I waa enabled to hear it only with my ears, devoting my attention and my heart to the care of my bo'y. : v"Tr :".,: : A Happy Task. Any mother' who has been sep arated from her child for a- time knqws how I rerelled In bathing the small boy, attiring him 4n night clothing, and cuddling him in my arms ror a rock and, a crooning Utile hum, the while I .listened with, most respectful at tention to Mother Graham's acid etched -sentences.1 " f7 '"' '".. - T fltn mvaalf ah li,lAiitiiff ,A that efficient, though, irritatingly self-satisfied body known' as up-to-date mothers, but' I never have benrable to subscribe to one of the cardinal principles of their creed, that children should never ba roeked. I Tiare 'nerer allowed Ely little lad to make me ft slave to the habit. He goes to sleep as often with- a-tucklng-in and a good-night kiss as he does with a rocking: and a, story or song. But" whenever I, can. manage It X give both him and myself thatr most exquisite of " all pleasnres, the good-night, cuddling of ft sleepy. child. The- mother who deea 'not occasionally do this, the child who never fcai known It, have' missed cne of th rare joys of life. "Is he asleep ?M Mother Gra bambroke off a catalogue of the shortcomings 'of the Ticer clothes closets : to ask the . question, and in herrolce was. all the tender ness she feels for her small grand son,': No v matter how acrid 5 her mood" may be,' she never can speak to the child or, of him, without her voice softening. v.

"There!" She 'drew a long breath." "He won't wake now un til morning if noihlngj disturbs him. So, if yon're going to take Richard and your father' to your rooms In ' the other house : you'd better be starting; Of alt the fool arrangements that's the limit! 1 don't see why Mrs. Underwood and Marion couldn't have . gone over there." . i4. "She wanted to.' I said, In an agony of embarrassment lest Lil lian hear her candid, comment, "but Dicky was to be here so short a time that it didn't seem worth while. , There was no room, for father here anywhere." , " "Oh! I suppose ? you j did the best you could." she admitted re luctantly, and I blessed my sleep ing little lad for the softening of her mood.: "Now, -see that you drive carefully," she cautioned me at parting, and I kissed her with ft promise that" I would , observe her command. j '- -.; .,-- -.-'- The moonlight was flooding sky and trees and road when we got into the car,' and as " we made -ft brief run between the Ticer farm house and the one where we had engaged rooms, I had a sudden inspiration for the staging of my momentous Interview with Dicky. It's such a perfect night!"' I sighed, as we turned into the yard of the other farmhouse. " "Suppose we drive' down ! and ' look ; at" the ocean by moonlight."

I would not ' have - spoken of it ; before him. v- - T:-"- - K : !' There must be no third' person, I knew.' in' the-cajoling interview with Dicky I had planned, an in terview 'which I meant should re sult in his unqualified assent to the hose-buying scheme that the s'ern necessity , of, finding a roof for our heads and" our belongings had created in my brain. But that my father was unusually fa tigued by his journey I,. bad' seen, although 1 counted . not- so much upon that as upon his Invariable tact and self-ef facementi With the exquisite courtesy of the old school he . would have considered it an unpardonable offense against good taste ifhe had 'played goose berry upon ourj excursion. "I think thai a most' happy plan, daughter," he said in the deep, melodious yoipe which, had so intrigued my interest in . the days when he was the mysterious1 "Quester-of Broadway, and f had" not yet learned that I, the daugh ter whom ' he deserted : in early childhood; was i the object of- his mournful search.But I am too tired to go with you tonight: Some other night I shall. Insist upn going. Now. run along, with a- .clear conscience and stay as long as you like. You have your keys?" : ' ' i " . :1 Dicky Is Willing. 1 ' . T ' : il i . .-,;, "It's "easy to see you're, not a country person, father,?' i, said. "'There's just ione key to each- door of. that farmhouse, and half the time none of them is used. It, Dicky decides to' go to the beach' he can get the key when "he takes in our bags; and you can explain to the people that we may be late. But perhaps' you're too tired to go." 'I turned to my husband de murely. ; ; ; 'f-. ""Yes, I'm almost collapsed,? he drawled, "but an invitation to drive with a charming girl to look af the moonlight on the ; ocean h! that would revive me 'were I a century dead!' His laugh floated back to me as he walked toward, the house with my. father, and i I snuggled into my, seat,! thrilling over the tender, note in it, forgetting for the delicious momentthe prosaic reason for my. proposal to drive," How wonderful . was this royal lover husband" of mine, J , said to myself proudly, as he came strid ing down the deliciously old-fas-, hioned flower-bordered ': path to the car. There was no one like aim, I added, putting aside, woman-like, all memories' which might mir the picture of masculine per fection I was so happily drawing for myself.' . "Where Is - this wonderful view?'" he asked, as he climbed into-the car. "It can't be so very far from Tiere." ?!' ' - H, r jjt -.. "I've Always Envied" " !:-: -"f-f -i":f i:-' " "About five or six miles," I re uirneu. 'You remember I told you about It last year, but some thing always happened so we nev er saw 41.

But I'd love to e it they fsay ; the sand dunes make the view there marvelous." "Well , go- there in - the day time soon, and then take a moon light excursion." Dicky promised. "But tonight, please; take the shortest cut to the ocean I tell yon. this is the life the real ocean only five miles away, a full moon and the prettiest girl In the world JUH E IS WELL EOOIPPED! i ; I the main diet kitchen on the low!- Salem Hospital, When Com-j'T- -"St plete, Will Be Prepared Mlpitai wm imo : a dittiari.

For a raptur ous, thrilling second mv hands trembled clh the wheel, and it was lortunate that I had driven enough to make my guidance of ic mecuanicai. Then I cauerht mv breath and tried to make my voice controlled and demure. "I can imagine no more de lightful way of driving." I"-said "But you mustn't" 1 stopped confusedly. "Kiss you unless the car Isn't running, I suppose," Dicky ans wered coolly. "A11 right, I pro mise, but let me tell you that when we do get to the beach you'll be most thoroughly smacked." "A threat or a promise?' 1 threw back at him gayly. i : '"WDo yon'want.me to wreck the car right here?" he. demanded with mock sternness. "If you do Just hand me another teaser 'like that, and see what happens i to yon' . ' "I'll be good," I promised. "Oh. Dicky Isn't it heavenly?" ; We were driving down a wind ing road, .along the sides of which blossoms of the dogwood and the wild apple trees gleamed snowily In the- moonlight. From a pass ing farmstead came, the haunting fragrance of lilacs and apple blos soms. It was a night to intoxi cate one's senses, to linger in one's memory as a rarely perfect thing. "You're too mild in your adjec tives," he said, taking off my hat and tossing it to the -rear seat. Then he rested his head; lightly against mine, j "I've always envied those Coney Island and Hudson river boat spooners," he declared., "But they haven't anything on me (to night." - (To be continued.)
