T H E H ER A LD , HERM ISTON, OREGON ■ Pola Negri’s Chateau, Scene of Her Honeymoon GNATS OF MARRIED LIFE ■ — » ( © by D. J W a ls h ) D IT H MASON stood back and looked at ber luncheon table. It really looked beautiful wltb the dainty embroidered dollies laid on the polished wood, the silver shining and the food properly hot aud savory. She had cooked the things her husband liked— esculloped pota toes, chops, nut cakes, coffee steaming fragrantly from the silver percolator. H er daffodils happily were out and she had placed a cluster of them In a slender cut-glass vase In the center of the charming board. And now she had only to wait for G rant to come In from bis garden. The young Masons had been mar ried a year, but they had been oc cupying their own home -for about a mouth o n ly ; up to that point the bungalow had been In process of con struction and they had boarded. Mean time, however. Edith had prepared herself carefully In all housewlfelj knowledge and she had entered her own house feeling able to look after It In such a way as should do credit to the establishment and to herself. Now when Grant did not appear at once she went to the kitchen door and called him. W ithout raising his head as he hoed he called b ack: “All right." She watched him, but he kept ou wltb his work. The thought of the luncheon cool ing on the table aroused In Edith anger at her husband’s Indifference. She called again sharply: “G runt! H urry u p!” This time he laid down the Implement and came toward her with apparent reluctance. “ Seems like It ’s got to he noon awful quick,” he said. Edith did not answer. She did not. Indeed, dare trust herself to speak. G rant dawdled at the sink and when at last he took bis place at the table he ate without comment on the food. His talk, like his thoughts, apparently, were all about the garden and when was the best time to plant the pota toes. “Ought to get our first mess by the Fourth,” he said. “1 tell you it ’s great to have land of your own. l’va always wanted It. I'll get some proper exercise now, which I need a fter sit ting a t a desk all day.” A fte r lunch he lit his pipe In the living room whither he had gone to look up some fact In one of the agri cultural journals he had subscribed for and when a little later he went out of doors he did not stop to kiss Edith, although she had put herself In his way. She sighed at the neglect But the dishes had to be washed. She loved washing dishes. W ith one of the new heaters in the cellar she always had plenty of hot w ater and delighted In aozzllng In the rich white lather with her dish mop. A fter the kitchen was spotless she went Into the living room for a look around. The table was littered with agricultural journals, a burned match lay on the gleaming whiteness of the runner and ashes had bee* sprinkled freely upon the delicate rug. Edith's lipa set tightly. Grant was careless; more than that, he was In considerate. She laid the Journals straight, flung the burned match Into the fireplace and brushed up the ashes. His lack of thought had made these three acts Decessary and he could so easily have saved her. She was not tired, but what was the use In doing things over and over? She would speak to him about It and she went out to the garden for that purpose. He saw her coming, wiped his face aud greeted her with a shout “Come right along honey; I want to show you the prettiest sight you ever saw.” He pointed to a long row of fain tly green things springing from the earth. It was a pretty sight, and when he put his arm about her she had to smile and tell him so. In the end she hud forgot to scold and skipped back Indoors to Iron ber embroidered linen. No easy task to Iron, white embroidered linen, but she needed the dress for that evening. Mrs. Hume was giving a small party for her house guest, Miss M errill, and all the young folks of the neighbor hood were Invited. Edith's Iron was electric and smooth as glass, the starch did not stick and the linen was Just nicely damp. Site loved to Iron and she began to sing a little. T he dress came out beautifully glowing. She arranged it on a hanger and hung the hanger on a hook near the open window, where the linen could finish drying. Then she ran up stairs to bathe and wave her hair. She thought, too, she might as well have a bit of a nap— It was such a lazy day. In ell she was upstairs about two hours When she came down she was E Above Is a beautiful view o f Pola N egri's picturesque Chateau de B eull, Seralncourt, near Paris, where she was m arried to Prince Serge UdlvanL Flood Refugees Lined Up for Vaccination Long line o f flood refugees a t Greenville aw aitin g their turn to be Inoculated against typhoid and smallpox.

As she entered the kitchen her eyes at once sought her white gown. It still hung on the nail where she bad left It, but susiwnded from the same nail was Grunt's dirty old gar den rucky 1 Edltb gave a horrified gasp and snatched down the rucky, but the dura age was done. H er beautiful shining white dress was smirched with soli. Snatching it from the nail she ran wltb It into the small den whither certain well outllued footsteps led. She knew where to tlud G ra n t But her angry ou-rusb was stopped by the sight of hint lying on the davenport relaxed and rosy, sound asleep and guileless as a child. O rdinarily she would hare smiled at the sight of him asleep so. but now she scowled. For the third time that day she had been treated to evidence of his thoughtlessness and lnconsldera tlon. She had borne all she could. Leave him? She was almost angry enough to, and. Indeed, women had left husbands for less. No, she would not do th a t What should she do? She went back to the living room to ponder, to fight away these gnats of mar-led life. As she sat with her cheek on her hand wiping away tears she heard a sound, and there was Grant In the doorway, looking at her In surprise. “W h at’s the matter?” He ran to her quickly, kneeled down and took her In his arms. His cheek pressed hers. “ W hat’s up. sweetheart?” He didn’t know I I f she told hlui could she wake him understand with out hurting his feelings, sensitive as she knew him to be. She drew a long breath and let him kiss her tears away. A fter all it was not his fault so much as his tra in in g ; his mother should have taught him better. Some time, perhaps, when she was more sure of herself, she could explain, but the thing was too hot for her to handle sanely. “ What a boy, what a little boy you are, Grant," she sighed. “And what a little goose you are to cry,” he retorted. “W h at’s It over, honey? I f It’s anything I ’ve done or ant doing you'll tell me, won’t you?” Then, not waiting for her answer he sprang up and rushed out of the house. I f he had not whistled as he went she might have thought— In ten minutes he was back. He laid a great box of candy In her lap. “I know,” he suld, gayly, “It's your birthday or something and you thought I ’d forgotten.” She laughed weakly. He was too absurd and dear; altogether too dear! That night Edith wore her little gray crepe, and she was happier In it than she had ever dreamed she could be. A ll He Knew At the examination of pupils In a school a short time ago the Inspector put questions at random to the schol- ars. Among the latter was a red headed lad, who, on being asked how many days there are In a year, an swered “Seven.” When the tittering of the rest ol the class subsided, the Inspector re marked : “1 sold a year, not a week. Now try again. How many days are there In a year?” The lad appeared nonplussed and vexed for a moment and then ejacu lated : “Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Just seven. I f there's others 1 have never heard of 'em."
