Thore was a slight hesitation.
"Yas'm."

carried some reservation. Emily fc!

with a'smllo.
"She say to' me to tell you 1 wuz
a good cook, an I wuz faithful, but
wuzn't very clean. It ain't my fault.

a full heart, "1 Jus' ain't got no

explained.
"But doesn't your husband help

There was another hesitation.

When she looked up her face was
. grave. "I can overlook that. And I
have uniforms I'd want you to wear,
anyhow, but you must keep them
very clean. We'll try It for a week
and see how we got along.'
When Nnrclssua had departed
Emily thought how much she would
have enjoyed, In spite of her resolu
tion, telling Charlotte about this ser
vant. She told Edwin Instead, that
evening after dinner,
Edwin looked startled. "And
you've hired hor?"
That was what he had gotten out
of the story. She realized regretfully
mat he dldn t consider It either fun.
ny or tragic,
"Why not? I think I can make an
excellent servant of her.1
He put down bis newspaper. It
was quite an occasion when Edwin
put down his newspaper; reading it
was becoming his evening ritual.
"I'd rather you wouldn't have
servant of that sort, dear."
She smiled at him. Already she
was learning shamelessly bow to
"handle" Edwin, and smiling that
way was one of the most successful
methods. He hadn't yet gotten used
to II.
"Rut thoy'ro nearly all 'that sort.
And I'd much rather help her to
make a living than have her acquire
a second Rosebud In the process of
keeping up the first one."
He looked at her very hard. He
said gravely:
"You say astonishing things, some
times.
CUE waited until bedtlme.and then
J returned to the topic. "Edwin,
why do you shy away from the sub
ject of bnbles.'"
He was meticulously hanging up
bis business suit "I don't, except
when you Joke about It. It's Just that
the whole subject Is rather sacred
to me."
W hat an amazing lot of sanctity
thore was In the world, then, she
thought, and wisely refrained from
saying so.
Edwin hung up ihe suit and came

He was glad Kmlly had brought up

It would be a good thing for us both,"

to curb the spirit of levity and bind
her Irrevocably to her home and
him. And for himself, to supply the
confidence In bis own masculinity
that he bad always lacked; to make
him also a member of the Lodge,
She Bald slowly.
"Let me think about It awhile."
She shelved the problem the next
morning for the more Immediate
one of entertaining her bridge club;
of seeing that the creamed sauce
creamed properly, and that the rolls
rose to feather lightness.
Being hostess left Emily free to
wander about during the game,
which was really preferable to play
ing. She enjoyed bridge, but not with
the passion that led some of ber
friends to place It next to their chil
dren and before their husbands In
Importance, Bridge, she felt, should
be a game and not a religion.
Bits of disembodied conversation
floated about.
"He's getting bis stomach teeth
now, and It's making him dreadfully
fretful. Or. Gaines had changed bis
diet three times and nothing seems
to agree with him. But It's one of
those things you have to endure, I
suppose."
The voice was complacent, and
Emily wondered Jdly It she herself
would ever unconsciously adopt It.
She must remind Charlotte not to
let her!
Dorothy Shane broke In casually,

Someone else laughed. "Joe says

but the strain on his partner Is tor-rifle."

Dorothy paused In the middle of a
deal. "What wore they his concubines?"
Oh, no," Evelyn's souse of humor
was non existent. "They were flower-bearers."
"Not" Dorothy wldoned her eyes.
Where did 1 stop doallng?"
Still another voice, nearer at

wanted tor my birthday, and I told
him If he wanted to make me really
happy he could give me a load of

Emily laughed aloud, a burst of
rippling, spontauoous mirth. They
looked at ber In surprise, and some
one asked: "What on earth"
Nothing," she said. "It's Just that
the conversation sounds from here
like 'cross quostlons and crooked

Noticeable Is the fact that the tall

Strange as It seems, wnrm-bloodcd
animals grow bigger In cold climates
than they do anyyhere else. This
is due to the fact that the larger
the animal, the smaller amount ot
skin surface It has per pound 01
body weight. A mouse haa many
times as much skin surface as an
elephant for Its size. Greater skin

for birds.
Jerome Cardan, Italian student oi
science, correctly foretold the day
and hour of his own death whtcti
occurred In 1578. The story persists
that he killed himself at the pre
dicted time so that his prophecy
would be true but this has never
been proven. Although he had a
little knowledge In many sciences.
Cardan was an outstanding mathe
matician and to him Is credited
the solution of many questions per
taining to probability.
