' It wakened David. "Hey, stop it, you dope! Don't you know that's organdy, boy?" "Organdy! It's crepe de Chine, stupid ..." Nina had been awake for soma moments, but she had lain there ' watching David. He looked quite adorable, asleep ... his brilliant hair, all tousled: and his expres sion was so completely innocent, that you just knew he could be a very bad boy, upon occasions. The really pure in heart never achieve such a look of sanctity. Nina was sure. And she liked to watch him wake up, too. Whether it was But ton tugging at the covers, or Nina shaking him, or whether he lust woke up of his own accord, he al ways looked so terribly surprised: as though it was the most tre mendous shock to And himself where he was. At first Nina had ' laughed at him, and thought it was because he wasn't used to waking up in bed with a lady . . . but he did it every morning of his life. "What dsy is it, angel?" he asked. "Saturday." "None. That's not riBht." "Why, David, it is so Saturday!" "Why. hell's bells, it may be Saturday, but that s a minor point. It's an anniversary, by God . . . We've been married . . . one, two. tnree, lour . , . lour months, to day!" Darling! Happy anniversary, Dnvid." "Happy anniversary, Nina." And later, when he was shav ing, he stuck his lathered face round the kitchen door. "By the way, housewife," he said, oh, so casually, "don't bother about marketing . . . little David's taking charge, for the day." "Taking charge?" "Um-hum . . . he's going to come home early, and cook and wash the dishes, and even get caught up with the darning. Isn't that lust too cute of him?" "Well, to be frank, It's so damn cute that I don't believe him!" But he meant it; and, what's more, he had planned for it ahead of time, because Cordelia ap peared at one o'clock, out of a clear sky. with two tickets for a mati nee, but she was anxious to get home, and see what kind of a meal David had been able to prepare by himself, David, Tou're A Madman r IV'HEN she returned, at 5:30, she ' ' found that the keys had been removed from her bag, so that she had to ring, and David greeted her In a nifty little house apron, with rosebuds on it , . . and there was pink hair ribbon tied In a strand of his copper hair. He hustled her into the bedroom, and sat her down with a book; bade her not to come out on pain of death. Then he shut the door on her. At a little befori 7, when he sum moned her, she found the table perfectly laid, in the living-room. There were sweet peas in the cen ter of it, and right away, she noticed glasses for wine. "I can see that you have gone completely haywire, David my love ... we won't be able to afford to eat for a month now, after this, but it'll have been worth itl" "Don't be previoav Walt till you see how you li"e my little snack." "Well, snyway. It'll be worth It, having seen you in your hair rib bon!" He pulled out her chair, and dis appeared into the kitchen. The first thing he staggered in with, was a cake of ice that must have weighed at least 20 pounds. The corners had been rounded smoothly and there were little flowers made out of vegetables, nestling in parsley, around its base. In the hollow at the top reposed a mound of caviar. "Fresh, no less." David boasted, "not a thine out of a tin. the whole meal!" "Dnvid. you're mad. but you're Ihe cleverest madman I ever came across!" She was almost too astonished to tat . . , why she doubted if she rould have made those beet rosea, herself ; . . The next thing was a clear Student Paroled In Auto Tragedy KLAMATH FALLS. Nov. 90.

"I think I'm going to faint, David!" and surely a man never grinned more broadly, at the pros pect of his wife swooning. "Vend6me . . . 'de chez Venddtne' Madam," he announced, grandly. "I chose this fellow yesterday, and they fixed him for me." Bread sauce . . . lelly . . . little browned Dotato balls . . . and bright green peas. A bottle of white wine, wrapped expertly in a nap kin . . . chilled lust enough, but not too much. AH gator pear salad, and two kinds of cheese with their demi- tasse ... "David, am I dreaming?" She really thought she must be. "Now Bet this. baby, lust Be cause I showed you my stuff, this evening, don't expect me to be the cook from now on!" "Ill never o near the stove again, my friend. You made a big mistake being so good. You're elected!" She raved and raved, in what must have been a very heart warming manner, to David. She did want him to know how much she appreciated his efforts, but in truth she was so astounded by the whole affair, that she could nol help herself. Where had he learnt to do all this? How did he know that bread sauce went with pheasant . . . Well. they d told him probably, at Ven d6me . . . but how did he know about Vendflme , . . Lest vou think I m too msd Nina, sweet, let me explain that 1 had a slight windfall of 25 bucks. and I decided to blow it all in on your matinee, and this annivers ary dinner." "And you needing shoes, like the very devil! You're the dearest, sweetest, most . . ." "Show me!" he Interrupted; and Nina did. That was what he wanted most of all. it seemed . . . Darling David. Clifford's Expose HE refused to let her clear up; refused to Jet her go near the kltchan. Nina suspected that it was in a rare mess. But once, when David was answering the telephone in the bedroom, she heard the sound of the back door slamming. She crossed the living-room, and the hall, and peeked through the swinging door. Something moved, suspiciously, in the brush and broom closet; and Nina was certain someone had come In the back way, and was crouching there. She was frightened, but she walked over to it. "Who's in there?" she demanded. "Come out, right awny!" Absolute silence in the brush and broom closet. "David!" she called loudly, "come here, hurry." And then she saw the door open, slowly, before her eves. "Sh-h-h. Missv!" said a h!h. squeaky voice. "We hiding." A little yellow race Deered out of the darkness with one tiny claw of a finger pressed warningly against the lips. Mister, he be velly. velly mad- like-hell." Nina was rocking back and forth with laughter, when David dashed in. "David you lying rascal . . . vou fake, you!" So-o-o. he shook his flst at the cringing Chinaman, still in the crowded closet. "So-o-o, you made a noise, eh7 . . . Lome out of there, Clifford." He came out all the scared four feet ten of him; and he looked so abiect that David smiled. "That's all right, ole fella. Mrs. Day would have heard you wash ing the dishes anvway. But we fooled her for a while, didn't we, pal?" "You're a slmplv marvelous cook, er ... is it really 'Clifford'7" "Yeah." David answered for him. "He's got a name that sounds like Hl-Le. H1-I..0 with a endenza on the end of It, so he prefers to be called 'Clifford' for short." "Well, you're a swell chef, Clif ford." He beamed. "All time cooking, me llkee housel ... Me llkee Joke, too!" and he laughed very loudly, to show them. When he had pocketed his $3 and departed, and David and Nina were closing up for the night, she started in all over again.- "I never had such a good time, sweetheart. You're the dearest, most thoughtful, dnrlingest . . ." And he said again: "Just show me . . ." So Nina did. (Cttpyrtaht. ItSI.
