KAN NY SPEAKS HER MIND
TJANNY reallicd that she must
swallow without outward bitter
neat her inollier hi luw' intolerable
'luierrercnce In her life and David's.
. It would have rankled less II
David had shared her Inner resent-
ni ur admitted once that tbey
hurt been unfairly used. Hut David
would no more permit Ills wife to
criticize his mother Mian be would
licnnlt bin mother to criticize
Fanny.
The first clash between Fanny
and her niotlier ln law came from
Fanny forgetting or Ignoring the
unwritten law of the household that
y w) A ii h
"Do you think you're-particularly
i guest must be prepared tor elab
orately lb advance.
., The first Sunday after hor return
rora the seashore Fanny was Idling
, on thjs front porch when she saw Dr.
S u tor passing the house. Dr. Sutor
iiad bees one ot the physicians in
Attendance on Sheila, and he came
icross the lawn to Inquire tor his
imnll patient . He stayed to talk
and was still there when tho supper
gong Bounded.
'. "You must bave supper wltb us,"
Fanny Insisted. "1 won't let you say
no," :,
As Was their Sunday custom, Mrs1.
Frost and David bad spent the aft
ernoon napping.- Mrs. Frost liked
Dr. Suter well enough as well,
that Is, as she liked any nowcomer
but btr room was Just over the
porch, and the voices and laughter
had annoyed ant) disturbed her.
Moreover, Mrs. Frost distinctly dis
approved ot a married woman
pending practically the eutlre aft
ernoon alone with an unmarried
msn. In full sight ot every passer
by. . -
It cannot be wondered that Mrs.
. Frost's grootlug matched her name,
.nor that she made small elTort to
r.ouccnl bar displeasure. David and
Fanny did what they could to cover
up ber lack ot cordiality, but their
guest escaped as soon rt be decent
ly could. Fanny's cheeks and hor
eyes wer'o blniliig, but she tried to
speak lightly. .
"Will you loll me please what the
trouble Is? lias the bank tailed, or
inmethlnR?"
"Corlalnly nut." said Mrs. Frost.
"Dr. Suier had kept me awake for
two hours. 1 could not pretend to
any great enthusiasm at his cpn
tinned presence. And hereafter,
Fanny, I must ask you to let me
know beforehand when you want to
Invite a friend or acquaintance to
break bread with us."
"I'm sorry we kept you awake.
Hut the supper was delicious; and
anyway I didn't know in advance.
Dr. Sutor was here and slipper was
ready It seemed only clvlllicd to
ask him to stay. I tlinuKh you liked
hi m. I know David does."
Mrs. Frost Hushed slightly but
ber voire whs cvrm. "I llku htm

we'll say no more about It. David,
will you get the dominoes? I'm sure
Fanny and I would enjoy a game."
"Sheila was a little restless last
night 1 must see how she Is. I'm
rather tired myself." At the best ot
times Fanny bated dominoes, and
Just now she was In a mood to kick
them, box and all, to the celling.
She was perfectly tree to entertain
there! About as free as Stubby the
catl !
"You may go," said Mrs. Frost
graciously, "but don't stay too
long."
Half an hour later Fanny, tn
somewhat better humor, settled
herself In her sitting room wltb B
novel. Came presently the new
maid Virginia.
"Mis' Frost wants you down
stairs." "Ask Mrs. Frost, please, to ex
cuse me. Tell ber I'm undressing."
"Yessum." said Virginia. She
was back shortly.
"Mis' Frost says to come on down
In your dressing gown."
Fanny gritted ber teetb.
"Tell Mrs. Frost 1 bave a head
acheno. Just tell her I'm reading
and would like to be excused."
Ten minutes later David ap
peared. "1 think you'd bettor come down,"
be said gravely.
"Why?"
sweet and reasonable?" asked David.
"Well, It would enBe the situation.
Mother really didn't mean to hurt
your feelings. Entertaining with
hor Is a sacred ritual. After all, II
fs Mother's bouse " .
"Exactly," said Fanny.
i "Look here, Fan, do you think
you're being particularly sweet and
reasonable?"
"No, porbaps hot, but I'm feeling
neither Sweet nor ronsonnble. It
you must know, I'm spoiling for a
fight." '
- David laughed, kissed her, ruf
fled her hair. "Come on down, .Fan,
that's a good girl,"
' Fanny sat up abruptly and
thumped the two cushions on tho
couch beside her.
"1 suppose It hasn't occurred (o
you that there's a principle In
volved?" "Whrit principle?"
1 "Freedom, Independence the
fight to call my soul uiy own. I'll
grant that 1 was wrong to Invite Dr.
Suter. Hut." again Fanny thumped
the cushions, "now my desire, my
rampant desire, is to remain In my
own part cf the bouse and not (o
play dominoes I I Shouldn't I have
tho right to be alone when I feel
Clio urgo?" -"
"There's another principle In
volrJd," said David, "my right as a
breadwinner to n poncoful hi.rmonl
ous homo. Mother has mado a great
polut of your coming down she'll
bo bitterly offended It you don't.
It's up to you to decide whether an
hour or two ot privacy is worth sev
eral days at least of strain and dis
cord with mo nt the (ocus point."
Fanny wanted to cry out that this
was unfair begging the luosllon.
If Dnvld had ouco concr led that
she had a right to stay In her room,
or even been a llttlo sympathetic,
Fanny would have mcltod mil gone
downstairs cheortully enough. In
stead, she told herself, Dnvld would
put his wishes and euso ot mind and
comfort first, exactly as his mother
did.-
Something inside tier told her to
fight It out, not to give In, no mat
ter whnt the Immediate cost. Hut
the spirit had nono out of hjr. She
played dominoes for nn hour until
