THE VERBAL DUEL B ESS
DEAN STAGED WITH
MADGE

there was a nbtlceahle edge to her
voice as she replied: i; I i:i !
- -..'The -heana-.are right - hr la
this bag. beside me. I, was.. sping
to cut them - np after I .had' pu
the potatoes on to boil." i n
I smothered the house wile; com
raent that rose to -my lips concern
ing the condition ot the potatoes
by the time the beans were cooked,
That she was abysmally ignorant
of cooking lore,' I ' guessedj ;a!nd t
tjuickly drew , on my . imagination
for a ruse which would sate; I the
dinner without hurting her ;f eel
It's lucky you spoke of Iboit
ingr." 1 1 said nonchalantly,!
for I
belittle yo"ui
J, "ho. old dear. Cominsr to make
. J!nre i I don't slip bichloride into
potatoes?"
4 1 Bess Dean .looked up from Mrsi
'."Jurkee's kitchen sink, where she
was preparing Tegetables, her
lips contorted in a mocking grim
ace. It took all " my 'will power
to laugh carelessly, hat I -accom
plished. It.
"I would never
powers by imagining'anythlng so
crude," I retorted. Then, with a
glance at the gas-store, as yet mi
lighted. r I brought the-tea-kettle
to the sink. ; j; ' :
"If ybull jpardon me, while I
fill this," I said courteously. -
She" moved 'out of my way a bit
jerkily. I i " v -!
. .".What's big Idea?" .she asked,
her eyes narrowing. "Where's
Mother Durkee?" : ; ;
"The phrase .revealed to' me one
reason tor; iaT ' little friend's dis
like of j Bess . Dean. One of -the
few feminine ; weaknesses of Her
Fluf finess" is an aversion to . her
real age being known, and those
of us ,who - love her, "carefully
humor her in - this respect. She
isn't slUyh about It I think she
loves the name of "Mother," from
Alfred's lips, and from Leila's bnt
fJl. for instance, as long and as
f( intimate as our friendship has
. qeen, never would dream or. pre
ttying "Mother" to her name. I
wondered If Bess Dean used' the
appellation In speaking to her.
"Mrs. Durkee is lying down," I
said, stressing the title ever bo
slightly. "She isn't feeling well,
and -she commissioned 'me to get
dinner for her.';
. "Does that mean that you pre
fer to chef It alone, or would you
like a scullion to assist you?" she
asked with an impish grin.
It was no part of my plan to
have her leave before the evening
! was - over,. as In self-respect tshe
Would bet compelled to do, .. i f I
treated : her frigidly and .refused
' her assistance. And;that,.for the
; present, at least," she meant to
... ignore ' the circumstances of our
last leave-taking f n the Catskills,
'bo humiliating to . her, I plainly
iV r- saw. So I -showed my dislike, of
i " . her . nto , the background, and
J 'answered her sally in. kind.
J "References, Gilt-Edged." :
I "That depends , upon your re
I j ferences, the wages you expect
I-jand your behavior," I said, laugh'
ing, and moving toward the gas
" stove with, the filled tea-kettle,
answered .promptly, - "Behavior,
unexceptional-to unjaundiced eyes
that's ' a- good , one, I think",
she interjected Impersonally -with
"a laugh at her own phraseology;
"Wages well, let us .eay, the
j smothering of. one's painful sense
, of "duty and keeping one's. hands
' off-"
. Her .tone, was the .essence of
carefessnes, but Is knew that her
rV words, particularly the last ones,
were a direct challenge. I stif
fened . Involuntarily as . I heard
' them, made , a pretence of f dif
f iculty with the lighting of the
: gas stove until I could -frame a
. reply.' .. . . , . - ,
.v"lf a maid's behavior Is satis
factory, I never cavil at her
,'' wages,' ! answered at last. "But
' -my birthplace Is next door to
Iowa. . Have .you seen the snap
beans? Mrs. Durkee said she had
planned them for dinner."
Bess Dean "Plays Up." '
Purposely I had given her the
rhancA to assume as 1 had. that
TJi the conversation had no undercur
if rent of serious meaning, and she
f nrnmnM nlflvAjl - nn tn mo ' Tint
would have lorgotten that Mrs.
Durkee wants i- scalloped potatoes"
for dinner." -j.; h( .;lil IJY
The edge in her voice was more
pronounced this time.' ; ! :i .-
i "Well, you'll have to engineer
that Job! Tve eaten Mrs. j Dnr
kee's, though, and I'll tell: the
worl they're some high , mark to
aim. at, even by so gifted d genius'
as yourself." . ; j

Mr. Haultain believts that such
