The Doctor's Happy Thought

It had ncea cniy a few months since young Hickoh had begun turning in at the brand new entrance of the equally brand new flat building, running up one flight of stairs and rattling his brand new latch key In the lock-a purely superfluous proceeding, be- cause young Mrs. Hckok, who had been watching for him down the street ever since 5:30, always opened the door before he did more than touch it. There would be a delightful Fragrance of baking things and steam ing coffee in the air and bright light in the kitchen and a rufiiy apron upon Mrs Hickok. all of which signifed that dinner shortly would be upon the table
 Hickok had grown so used to this scenic setting that when his key turned clear around and the door opened without the help of his wife his heart jumped in vague alarm. As he entered the shock developed The Kitchen end of the flat was dark. So was the dining room. In the living room the shaded drop light was going and languidly bestowed in the easiest chair sat Mrs. Hickok, attired in her newest gown, with her hair elaborated and no apron visible She was read ing.
 "Are-are you sick?' gasped her husband, advancing with hat and coat still on.
 She held out one white hand smiled sweetly and said, No" She seemed quite calm.
 Then what-wh--" stammered her bewildered husband. He laid an anx- ious hand upon her brow
 My health is perfect, Augustus" she told him. I've just had a great light break in upon me! You see, this afternoon l happened to read an ar ticle, great long one, in one of the leading magazines, by famous doc tor. It was about what he called the sin of being homely. He said it was every woman's first duty to be beau tiful and"
 Tt isn't a duty with you because it's perfectly natural" asserted Hickok, violently. But what"

 He said" replied Mrs. Hickok, sit ting up straight that a woman had no business doing any sort of work which impairs her health or good looks or happiness or hurts her hands or ruins her complexion, because it makes her an unprofitable member of the community and her husband won't love her! He said that heat from the eookstove had spoiled more com plexions than all the paint and pow der In the world and that the much denounced hothouse air of the ball. room Is a California zephyr compared With the soupy. oniony stew that passes for air in the kitchen He said early. rising. had. caused more.

 "Milly," asked Hickok, are you sure your head doesn't ache?"
 Read it yourself!" retorted his wife, thrusting the magazine into his hands with energy. He's a scientific man and he ought to know! Read there where he says: Not only is 1t one of tho inalienable rights of women to life. liberty and the pursuit of hap. piness, to have all the money she ar. tistically needs and can get to make herself beautiful in face, figure and costume. but she has the right to re- fuse and revolt against any form of work which robs her of what beauty she possesses. l noticed two of my fingers were roughened. so l think It Is high time I revoited. It makes me shiver to think of my life had l missed seeing that article."

You know when you married me that We couldn't afford maid for year. ! don't want you to drudge, Milly, but little four-room fiat and dinner for two doesn't strike me as an appalling proposition for healthy young wom- an if she uses common sense! hadn't noticed that you were fading away or losing your good looks and l must say that wife with any ap- preciation of her duty wouldn't take up with any such crazy notion
 That is a very convincing article declared Mrs. Hickok.
 "BM-but what do you intended TOT us to do?" queried Hickok
 Mrs. Hickok surveyed him soiehn' ly. Well" she said, getting 10 he, feet and turning her back. I'll leh you what we'll do this evening.
