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

refreshed and happy, eager (o begli-
dinner. 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."
Ancient Mural» Found
Pictures that have been hidden for
many years were revealed recently by
workmen renovating an ancient build
ing in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
The walls of the structure were
decorated with figures producing an
effect*aim llar to thut on pottery, uni)
when the coating of dust and paint
were removed, the art work was clear
ly shown.
The pictures had been worked In
plaster, an Imitation of bas-relief be
ing effected by laying a coat of white
over one of black and then removing
enough of the upper coating to expose
the black in the desired designs and
patterns. They are being preserved

Hope of Immortality
We are led to the belief of a future
state, not only by the weaknesses, by
the hopes and fears of human nature,
but by the noblest and best principles
which belong to It— by the love of vir
tue, and by the abhorrence of vice and
Injustice.—Adam Smith.
