Yon can't blame a girl for fixing her

-he was really courting him . . . with

means absolutely nothing iu niy life!
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

swear I'll never ride in t he thing !

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!"

one morning. "So don't buy tne a

bills instead, like a good sport! They
aren't so awfully big."

Ihe windshield mirror told her that
she was looking unusually lovely.
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

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

you could hive a woman to help your

"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

perched herself on the comer of
Dick's desk. "You'll pardon me for
breaking in on your interesting con

"Hush!" Dick said. He walked
over and tried the handle of the door
to see that it wns shut tight. "She'll

"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.

Miss BHjis," he aaid, taking both of
hit wife's hands In his. "A month or
two ago her aister died, leaving three
little children . , , and an Invalid
"husband, alias Briggs and her moth
er took two of the children to bring
up. 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.

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.
