A Plan That
Failed

In high social circles the girl who
wants to cut out another girl orders
new dresses and more hats. Among
savages she sticks On a few more
beads and feathers. But IN small,
middle western towns she rolls up
her sleeves, opens the -four bin and
cooks something calculated to knock
the spots off anything culinary the 9th
er girl ever dared dream Of.
That was why Mrs. Fruby said to
her daughter with a hint of excite
ment in her voice, "Try him on beat
en- biscuits, Sadie! And your choco-
late marshmallow pudding!"
1t had been hard enough all her life
for Mrs. F'ruby to be outdone by Mary
Sander without having to endure see.
ing Mary Sanders daughter get ahead
Of her own Sadie. And Of late Rose
Sander had asked Peter Vernon to
dinner entirely too often to suit Mrs.
Fruby's plans. So had half a dozen
other girls. For Peter Vernon was
matrimonial prize, the like of which
small town does not see more than
once in a generation. He had an in
terest in the big engine works, which
made money so fast that it gave the
populace hiccoughs trying to count it.
Natural jealousy of Mary Sander
made Mrs. Fruby consider Rosa
deadly rival. Rosa was nearly as
pretty as Sadie and, moreover, she
was a good cook. So were Margaret
and Agnes and Carrie, other aspirants.
Louise-Mrs Fruby merely smiled at
the idea Of Louise.
Being built on solid lines herself,
Mrs. F'ruby had an imagined contempt
for ethereal creatures like Louise, who
looked as though puff Of wind might
easily remove her from the scene.
Louise was Of the ethereal, useless kind
and Mrs. Fruby knew that no sensible
man wanted helpless wife. Men, she
often told Sadie, liked energy and abil-
ity in girl. AS for cooking, it was
doubtful If Louise could even cook q
pan of fudge without burning 1t.
Peter Vernon was a tall, thin young
man with a we'll set head and kind
ly, if shrewd, smile.
"He's not the sort to get taken I'M"
Mrs. Fruby said thankfully as she
superintendent Sadie's work making
the beaten biscuits for that nights
supper, to which Peter was coming.
Does your arm ache? Let me beat
a while!"
Peter Vernon liked the beaten bis
cult immensely. He ate sig. And he
had two helpings of the chocolate
marshmallow pudding.
"She nearly beat her arm off max

ing those" Sad1e's mother conffded TO
him. "But, l tell you, nothing daunts
Sadie! When she does a thing she
does It'll"
"They certainly were mighty good"
repeated Peter Vernon.
"We always have 'em Wednesday
evenings" said Sadie's mother with a
sudden inspiration. "And you drop
in that night without waiting to be
asked, since you're so fond of EN-"
Eyes, dol" echoed Sadie.
Beaten biscuits are hard TO make.
Many were the weary hours Sadie
Fruby put in over them, because they
had to be made regularly on Wednes-
day. Sometimes Peter dropped in, and
If he did not he was certain to be
met on the street the next day by Sa.
die or her mother and pinned down to
another date. Mrs. Fruby took his
fondness for the marshmallow pud-
ding as an especially good sign.
"You keep it up, Sadie" she told
her daughter the evening Peter had
stayed half-hour beyond his usual
time. II can begin to see that you're
winning out!"
II don't know" Sadie said dubious
ly- "He goes to Isabel's and Margar-
cts, too-and Louise's!"
II wouldn't worry" declared her
mother. 81 guess Isabel cart make
biscuit like yours and Margaret's cake
is a joke. And you know Louise!
Why, you've got 'em all on the rum"
"But he never says nothing" Sadie
protested. IT mean anything that I
could take as"
"He amt that kind" declared Mrs.
Fruby. "He amt going to make love
to a girl till he's engaged to her!
You beat those biscuits longer next
time!"
Shortly after that the local newspa'
per contained the unexpected an
nouncement Of the quiet marriage of
Peter Vernon and Louise, the ethereal.
Mrs. Fruby, after a historical

Sadie plainly what she thought Of Pc
ter. She talked SO vehement1y that
she did not notice how pale Sadie's
cheeks were. Sadie usually was stolid
and unmoved.
"Well," Mrs. Fruby said at last,
wiping her eyes, sit can't be helped.
You'd better stir up some beaten bis.

It was then that Sadie voiced a
