What 1 want to know ia how you could afford to tlo it if we're as poor as yon say we are?" Dirk walked on in silence for sev eral minutes. "Am a matter of fact, I couldn't afford to do it. I nearly broke my your car .... "That's right, rub it in! Make me feel like a selfish pig1." Glory inter rupted, "just because I want A car like every other woman in town, your own precious mother included! ... I swear I'll never ride in t he thing ! You can scud it back . . . . " She stood still in the street and be can to cry. "1 don't believe I deserve this out- burst from you. Glory," I Melt said. "In fact, I know 1 don't. And if you want to stand lnre and cry .... go ahead and do it! I'm going home." But be didn't move, he wouldn't. Glory knew She went on crying. Then she felt IMck's arms around her. She put her her head down on his shoulder. . "You're so mean to me," she nib bed. They walked on. "I'm so sorry you think so, sweet heart," Dick said quietly. "I sup pose 1 shouldn't worry you about money matters, but I've been running behind lately Gosh. I badn t figured on married life being as ex pensive as it is! ..... I wonder bow people get along who have two or three children to feed and clothe." "Well, that's one thing you needn't worry about . . . babies," Glory said, "because wo aren't going to have any. ever!" "Not ever?" Dick snid gravely. 1 1 is hand tightened on her arm. What's the big idea? Don't you really want children, Glory? . . . Why, you'd be the sweetest lit Me mother in the world! . . . Why, sure, you went babies, honey!" "Don't kid yourself!" she said firmly. "Children are the very last I things In the world that I want, I Dick." I "You'll feel differently about It lat er on ... in a year or two," he assured her. "Ererr woman wants a family. "I never will!" Glory told herself, as they turned into thrlr own street. Aloud she sajd, "Let's run out to the garage and see that my car is safe and all right, before we go into the house, will you?" She could hardly wait for Dick to open the garage doors and switch on the light. Glory walked all around the little blue car with its burnished brass trimmings shining in the elec tric Heht. "Oh. yon cute thing! T never thought I'd own anything like yon!" . t i .v.. i a ne crieo, pnuiug inr biuu-u-ihh mm her little gloved hands, lovingly. By the end of the week Glory had learned to drive the car. She went Christmas shopping In It, bringing it borne loaded with beribboned pack age. "You'll just perfectly kill me. IMck. when the bills come in!" Glory aaid one morning. "So don't buy tne a Christmas present . . . Just pay my bills instead, like a good sport! They aren't so awfully big." Hut when the bills came in the first wek in January, they were very big . . . rnuHt larger than Glory had ei ; parted. HHe was stire that the etorea i had made a mistake in tbem, tome I where. She went over them again and again, with the same result. She nwH aif hundred dollars . . two bundr! if it for Christmas gifts!

Jt would be much harder for Dick to quarrel with a beautiful wife who bad run up $H00 worth of bills, than with a plain unattractive one . . . It was nice to be beautiful. It made things so much simpler! There was po one at Miss Briggs' desk in Dick's outer office. From the inner room came the sound of voices. Glory sat down swivel chair to wai Miss Briggs' The' office was warm. After a while Glnry took off her coat, and then her hut. The tight crown had left a red baud on her forehead. SIih rubbed it gently with her fingertips. " and I told him that Mother and I could tnktt care of the two older children. Hut I guess it's going to bo ton much for Mother. She's not So very well." Miss Hriggs' voice! And what was she talking about? . . . Glory listened. Silence for a long moment. Then Dick's voice. "Would it help you any if I gave you, a little raise . . , say about .$."1 more a week?" he was saying. "Then you could hive a woman to help your mother out with the children."' "Of roiM-se, it would help ... . but I think you're paying me all I'm worth now, Mr. Gregory," Miss' Mnggs soft voice answered. Her shadow appeared on the frosted glass pane of t ho door between the two offices. Glory rose. She guthered her bills in one hand and opened the door. Miss HriggH nodded at her, and slipped out. "Hello, there, nikky-Tikky-Tavyl Glory greeted IMck cheerfully. She perched herself on the comer of Dick's desk. "You'll pardon me for breaking in on your interesting con versation with Miss Briggs . . . but I got tired waiting while she vamped Some more salary from you!" "Hush!" Dick said. He walked over and tried the handle of the door to see that it wns shut tight. "She'll hear you." "It's a good thing I caught you in this generous mood," Gloria went on with sarcasm in her voice, "because I'm calling on money matters, my self!" She laid the bills down on Dick's desk. He didn't touch them. "I want to explain to you abont MUTT AND JEFF rjeee.we arc aboov to pjrTwe HAUWTS eNO I'rA GOMMA ASSUMcl COMMAMD OP THe Pt)lTI0t0.

And Mist Briggs finds they can't do it on her present salary. , . . She's a good woman, Glory ... ft fine woman!" "All homely women are good," aha said. "It's only the pretty ones like May Seymour and me who run up bills and gad all day, and worry their husbands into an early grave, isn't it? ... I know that'a what you're thinking, so I'll say it for you!" Pick picked up the bllla. "Gadaooks!" he exclaimed. Six hundred amaekers! He opened the top drawer of hie desk and took out his check book. "Take a look at the stubs iu that!" he said abruptly. 'They'll give you an idea of what we're spending!" Glory flung the little book down on the desk. "Why should 1 look at your check book?" she asked, hotly. "Your job is to support me . . . not to ever lastingly tell me that you can't! . . ." Two bright spots of color burned like danger signals in her cheeks. "Other women's husbands buy thein things that they want!" she stormed. "Are they so much smarter than you? Why is It that their wives can have clothes and things without fighting for them the way I have to? And then you give that Briggs woman a big raise the minute she asks yon for it! . . . Oh, what's the use talking about it? There are the bills! And you'll have to pay them, that'a all!1' Glory flung herself out of the of fice, slamming the door behind her so that its glass pane rattled. She picked up her coat and hat from Miss Briggs desk without so much as a look at her. Outside in the corridor Glory stop ped and put them on. When she got into her car, she adjusted her hat before the wind-hield mirror. The orchid on her coat was wilted. Viciously Glory threw It down into the gutter. Aa Glory approached she saw that it was Stan Way burn. She put on the brakes. The ear slowed to a standstill, just abreast of Stan. He looked up. Glory opened the door of her car. "Well, of all things! To find yon here just when 1 need you most! Get in!" she cried. .

J If there has been no opportunity or If opportunity has been neglected to lay out the back yard into an orna mental design mora or less elaborate to suit the taste of the owner, the neglect can be remedied In great part by corner plantings. Filling in tha corners with tall-growing annuals or a few perennials wilt be a start at a design and will help to form ft frame for the grass plot. Castor beans are the most stately annuals for quick effect. They will assist iu hiding outbuildings in a hurry. The annual sunflowers of the cu cumber leaved type, catalogued aa Helianthus cucumerifolious, will make a fine group aud furnish Quantities of miniature aud delicate aunflowera ranging from pale yellow to orange for cutting during the summer. Cos mos will fill a corner with a feathery nuiHN of foliage aud In mid and late Slimmer will bedeck Itself with my-i-aids of handsome white, pink, rose, i and crimson flowers, fine for hnuquelfl. Plant early flowering types of cos mos now. For a sunny corner In aoll only fairly rich, wonderful effect can be produced by n few of the fine new types of dahlias. They grow to a heiirlit of sti feet or more, according an variety with clean shining foliage and In September produce, wonderful bloom, ranging from great fluffs the sif.e of your head in some of the ad vanced types down to little pompons two inches through. Thtr dahlia is now the queen of the autumn and no garden should be without a few apeciiiieua. Plants are on sale later in the season and the dry tubers can be secured now. There Is no hurry about putting them in as tiny time up till June will do. Spider plant, Cleome, is another tall, fast-growing annuul which makes fine clumps and for a shady corner nothing is better than the flowering tobaccos, Mcntiana afflnls and ita types being moat effect ive. The white variety with its spicy stars brightens yi a dim corner at dusk wonderfully. 4 4 Cynthia Grey Says: "lOIl the east is east, and the west Is west, and never the twsin shall meet."
