Chapter !8 ROUGH CORNERS JAMES and Jane, meantime, were nanriinn mnt nt their evenlnKS arranging or re-arrangtng their brand new furniture and Ujee nun dred and twenty-alx wedding prea enta, or at leaat Jane waa arranging and re-arranplng while Jamea waa admiring each aucceedlng effect "Lord," Jamea groaned one eve ning In mock despair, "l don't be lieve that anyone outalde the Van derbtlts and Aators ever had ao much truck." They were In the dining room. Jane bad Just finished cramming a groaning cabinet with a plentltude of elaborate and heavy cut glass. Another cabinet displayed an lnflnl- Iteslmal part of their band painted china. Their plate rail, their tables and Jamea waa admiring mantela and bureaus and book caaea could scarcely hold all their valuable brlc-a-brac. Clocks ticked In every room, pictures crowded the wulls, fancy covers adorned the tables, mir rors gleamed In every available nook. "I'll never be able to live up to It," James went on. "If ever two people started housekeeping In champagne tyle on a beer Income It'a us." "Well, I wasn't brought up In beer style and neither were you. I've long prided myself on being able to make a dollar do the work ot two. Don't you worry. Anyway, there"! alwaya Father to fall back on." "Your father's heaped us with obli gations already. 1 don't mind him giving you an allowance to spend on yourself, but I'd prefer to pay the liouse bills . . . live on what 1 make." "All right," Jane replied cheer fully. "Father has done an awful lot. It's up to you now to hustle around and bring home the bacon." "I'm trying to do Just that," James aald humbly. "Of course you are. Of course I expect you to. Making a living Is the very leaat of what 1 expect of you." Jane smiled at him brightly and , James kissed her. He did wish, how 'over, that Jane did not accept the making of a living so casually. OTHER young couplea In New t Concord atartod houskeeptng In j small cottagea with the brides doing their own work. He did not. of course, expect Jane to do without a ! servant. Even In the Mansion they 'would have had to have a servant. iJane expected htm to compliment her frequently because she managed to got along with one. And with all the dusting . . . The servant question loomed large on the young 8tlmaona' horizon. Jane had already tried out two and lost them. Later she lost others. ' Dut this Jane claimed waa more Jamea' fault than hers and Jane probably was rlRht. In spite of all his good resolutions, Jamea proved himself far from a nodel husband. Jane often said lhat fire minutes after he came through the front door the house looked as If a baby elephant had been rampaging through It James tried to remember PORTLAND. Ore, April IT.

"I don't see," he protested vigor ously, "why the stars should stop In their courses because 1 am ten 01 fifteen minutes late. Why do we have to have dinner anyway at half-past ill exactly?" "For one reason because I have only one servant A house la a little factory. It haa to be run like one or single girl cannot get through hei work." Jane bore It tor a time with exem plary patience. She told herself that she had married a genius. Geniuses could not be expected to behave even aa you and 1. Still, It did seem sometimes that James waa display ing more selfishness than tempera ment And she had no Intention ol encouraging selfishness, AS the weeks went on James de veloped a succession ot Irritat ing habits. Jane waa soon complain Ing to her mother of her husband. "What's the mattert You Been worried," Mrs. Northrup said on morning when Jane dropped In tor each aucceedlng effect. her usual dally crmt."Thpy were It the upstairs sitting room. It was ex tremely hot and Mra. N'orthrup bad closed the heavy wooden shutters, leaving one pair slightly open foi light. Mrs. Northrup waa hemming napkins and Jane had brought hei crochotlng.

It will make lines on your forehead. Tell me what'a bothering you. Perhaps 1 can tlx It." Jane waa seated In a low rocking chair close to her mother's. She Im mediately ceased to frown, smooth ing away with her fingers any ahad owa ot the threatened lines. "Jamea wants a dog," b'-.o said ruefully. "He talks ot nothing else dog, dog, dog from the time he gets up in the morning until he goes to bod at night" "But Jamos has a dog, hasn't hei Two or three as 1 remomber." "Two. But he left them at hla Aunt Sarah's because they wore old and used to the place. Now he actually wanta to buy a great big hulking puppy and raise It by band.

"1 should think that would settle it." "Settle ltT Vou ought to be mar ried to James for a week or two.
