Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

TIME tears woman wipes away on
the kitchen towel are the most
sincere tears a woman ever
sheds
The tears wiped away with a dainty
lace-trimmed handkerchief are some
times for effect, and between weeps
there are furtive chances at the mirror
to see if such deep sorrow is making
the nose red. When a powder rag APP
pears to remove all signs of woe, the
woe is never deep.
The kitchen towel is a comforter that
only Mother knows; Daughters grief
is usually so fleeing that 1t never
reaches the kitchen. At least, this is
true in the Appleton family.
Daysey Mayme was weeping into a
piece of linen three inches square, but
her woe, all me, was much larger.
She had a birthday. Kin four de-
grees removed sent boxes of candy and
perfume and jewelry. and kin not quite
so far removed sent more, that being
one of the unwritten rules Of Kinville.
Her father had given her a gold
watch. her mother had given her dia-
mond ring, and her brother had spent a
months allowance in buying her a
locket as big as the moon.
They expected her to be joyful, for
every longing she had expressed was
gratif1ed. But she swept them aside
with sad eyes. thanked them with the
tears coming, and then went to her
room to eat her heart out, a canni-
bahstic feat achieved only by those who
love.
For HE, her Best Beloved had sent
her nothing! He had called twice a
week for a month, and she knew he
loved her, and he knew 1t was her
birthday, and he didn't send even a
birthday wish.
What were the gold watch from ia
Their, the diamond ring from mother.
the gold locket as big as a moon from
brother and all the gifts from kin four
degrees removed compared with one
little remembrance from him? All,
nothing, alas, and woes met
This forgetfulness meant perfidy. He
didn't love her. Nobody loved her. OF
course, the family and kin were kind,
but why shouldn't they be? Wasn't
she the only girl in the family?
If he had only called her up to wish
her many happy returns! II he had
only-and she cried more and more,
thinking now when she was old and
gray she would still be cherishing the
faded flowers If he had only sent her a
bouquet, and now she must grow old
and die without a single faded token.
And she wept some more, and saw
her nose was getting red. Then she
got her powder rag and cologne and
wiped the tears away and felt better.
But In the enjoyment of the woe of
love she found no room for apprecia =
ton of what her family had done. And
her father went to work with a sigh,
and her brother wished he had his
money back. and her mother, remem-
bering all the sacrifices the family had
made, said nothing, but went out and
hid her face in the kitchen towel.

He had Wakened, bathed in cold sweat,

AS he went about his tasks, polishing
his floor with the hard brushes, rubbing

Remington thought earnestly of this

not for a moment doubt--that she. had
