"Lord," Jamea groaned one eve

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-

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
