at least, there was a man-who pos
sessed all the qualities Of the ideal
that every woman cherishes until 1t is
reduced to a FRAGILE before her eyes.
And Mrs. Talleck had him!
Three meetings of the sewing club
had broken up In gloom. The mem.
tcrs had departed sadly. apologetical-
ly. hopelessly. The day when they
met at Mrs. Talleck's every woman's
mouth was set in q firm line. Go home
at five o'clock az usual? Not they!
They fingered after tea. They ad-
mired Mrs. Talleck's embroidered nap
kins and the photographs and they In
sisted on hearing the history OF each.
Never before did women find SO much
to talk about. Nobody appeared to OBJ
serve that 1t was more than dark out
side. Not a soul. apparently. saw the
clock that stared them in the face.
The silence was broken an instant
later by a falsetto voice that cried:
Say, why don't you oil this Internal
lock? And do I smell cabbage cook
ing for dinner? You know hate cab
bagei"
An understood man. wearing spec
tacles and a peevish expression. en-
tered and stared at them in an an
noyed way. Everybody tumultuously
fed.
Two blocks away Mrs. SPENCER
spoke. do you know" she said. Il

Mrs.. Talleck spoke as though It was
. treat too great for mortal to receive
except specially favored. 1t was quite
as though she hoped they would each
have great fortune left them. though
she doubted 1t. She did not seem to no
uce that some of the glances were
freighted with dislike. II she had she
doubtless would have taken the dis
like as a sort Of tribute. She did not
wonder that the poor things were en-
vious and Jealous.
At least that IL how Mrs. SPENCER
explained 1t. Mrs. SPENCER and Mrs.
Dryden and all the rest had husbands.
Of course; husbands of q sort; but
compared with the sort of husband
Mrs. Talleck said hers was the other
husbands dwindled into such human
insists that their abashed owners
pushed them farther and farther into
the background each time they met
Mrs. Talleck. who had recently Joined
their sewing club.
It was not in human nature to be
otherwise than displeased that one
could not come back at Mrs. Talleck
gloriously and show her that her hus-
band wasn't SO much after all.
In the first place. Mrs. Talleck's hus-
band was a remarkable looking man.
Mrs. Talleck told them all about how
when she first married him she was
frequently embarrassed by the atten.
ton he attracted.
"And 1t happens yeti" she confided
to them. eff you could see the way
the women look at him! But I don't
blame them. don't see how they
could help 1t. He has the most won
derful eyes-they seemed to draw one.
There is something overpowering
about him. 1 suppose you would call 1t
personality. The minute that man steps
into room-I don't care how crowd
ed It is-everybody feels his presence.
It Is comical to see how everybody
stops talking and turns toward him. 1t

with little twinge she recollected
that never in her whole married ca

a whole roomful of people paralyzed
by the entry of John. Everybody had

Letty's
Strategy

In the cool. vigorous air of June
morning. Lefty sat on the brow of q
rocky hill that looked down upon q
marrow winding river. She had come
here to be alone and mediate
thing very unusual for Lefty. because
she was an athletic young woman with
. tendency to do things and not to
dream them. She was considered .
mannish girl. but something very femi-
nine had come to her Of late. She was
In love with Griffith Kennedy.
At nrst this undisguised affection
had amused Lefty; gradually she had
come to like It. And now. she admit.
ted. she craved 1t and yearned for it.
Two or three times she knew that
he had been on the very verge of
proposal. but obstacles had arisen to
prevent his speech. She had been
content to wait. She knew the psy-
Geological moment had only been post
poned; but last night at dance he
had held that pretty, frivolous. cooling
voiced Maude Nelson very close az
he guided her carefully over the
crowded floor.
At this sight q fierce jealousy had
orept into Letty's heart, and she had
come out here alone to have 1t out
with herself.
"That silly. little. scheming thing
shall not entrap him!" she resolved.
"Why is 1t men care for that clinging
vine sort!"
Her memory then reverted to the
arc ha ~
his working up to a proposal. This
had been late in the preceding Au-
tumn when they were walking in the
country. A runaway team had come
plunging toward them. Lefty had for
gotten Grif's very existence. She was
conscious only of the white, terrified
faces Of the women and children in
the wagon. She had rushed on ahead,
met and stopped the horses. holding
them firmly until Grit came up to
them.
Everyone had praised her GOODNESS
and bravery. but Grif had been
strangely silent. After that she had
thought him Ill at ease in her pres.
ence.
The next time had been in the Win
ter when they were skating on the
river. Grit had begun haltingly. but
midway in his exordium she caught
sight Of a little boy struggling in the
water. She shot ahead and made
quick rescue Griffith had been a close
second and carried the child to a near
by house, but his ardor and his fingers
were alike frost-nipped.
Now. after Witnessing his fond pride
In Maude's helplessness. Lefty longed
for the postponed proposal with all
her heart.
''I1l fight her with her own weap-
ons.' she automatically decided. "and
after this I'll never make a rescue in
