alone she would let her feel her dis
pleasure And she argued further that
1t was better for Maggie herself not to
be encouraged in her set" ways
II was not until after she had gone
for the afternoon that Helen finally
went out to the kitchen. She was not
surprised al its spotless order, for Mag
gle always left 1t like that. But she
was surprised to find in the pantry a
freshly made sponge cake, and in the
ice box a mold OF fruit jelly, a bowl of
cream ready to be whipped, a cup Of
salad dressing and the salad washed
wrapped in a clean cloth and laid on
the ice to be crisp.
When Helen closed the ice box, It
was with conflicting emotions. And be-
fore she left the kitchen her resentment

with a sharp

of course" with the air of a martyr,
"if you want me to stay in tomor-
row and get dinner, why I'll have to
stay"
You know very well l don't want
that, Maggie. I've never yet kept you
on any of your afternoons off. | only
asked you to fix something for dinner
in the morning, and now l don't want
you even to do that | never want
any one to do anything for me unless
they do it willingly"
And Helen fiounced out of the
kitchen thoroughly angry, she was
beginning to realize that Maggie DOM
mated her more and more; that she
was getting almost afraid to ask her
to do anything for fear of starting
one of her long arguments or reasons
why she could not do it,

nate cough in "a hours This is partly

tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant TO
take-children like it. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough. Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.

Y pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 212 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents, worthD in pint bottle, and add

all the other natural healing elements

And with a final squeeze of his wind
pipe to further impress these remarks on
his mind, his father released him. Young
Mr. Blount rubbed his throat feebly,
gulped and blinked several times before
the vocal chords and the other outraged
machinery of the throat would return
to something like the normal functions.
'Aw," he managed to get out at last,

The young man shook himself and re-
covered something of his former jaunti-

Mrs Blount smiled happily. Come

''and let me fix your necktie.
While she was attending to this moth

a Helen hung up the telephone re-

paper with a gruff:
What made you invite her for to-
morrow? Don't you know it's Thurs
day-Maggie's day out?"
No. dear-not this week"
Like to know why! Didn't we have
the Stevens here last Thursday?"
"Oh, so we did!" exclaimed Helen
helplessly. why didn't you tell me?"
Didn't have a chance, the way you
were jabbering on there"
But, dear, what shall do about it ~
well, you've asked her to dinner
haven't you? Since We can't have din
ner here We'll have to take her out"
Warren turned back to his paper,
while Helen brooded over the needless
expense of a dinner at a restaurant.
He always ordered so laVishly, partic-
ularly when anyone was with them.
1t would mean eight or nine dollars at
least, and Miss Merrill would much
rather have a home dinner. She lived
in an apartment hotel and had often
told Helen she was sick of restaurants.
Maggie's Attitude.
Just now she had called up to say
she was leaving for the South Satur-
day. and Helen had thoughtlessly asked
her to dinner for tomorrow. But why
couldn't they have dinner at home any
way? Maggie, the white cook and
serving maid. could prepare the des-
sert and the salad before she went
off. She would ask her about It now.
Dinner was almost ready and when
Helen went into the kitchen. Maggie
was creaming the potatoes.
Maggie, ! forgot tomorrow was
your afternoon off and I've Just asked
Miss Merrill for dinner. Don't you
think you could fix things before YOU
go so I could get dinner without much
trouble"
Don't know what could fix, ma'am,' -
answered Maggie. as she beat a spoon
full of yellow butter into the white
frothy potatoes.
"Why. you could at least make the
dessert and fix the salad, couldn't
you?"
We'll / never get away from here
till , o'clock-takes me all morning
to do the work l don't see whore I'd
have any time"
1t was so rarely that Helen ever
asked Maggie to do anything extra
that now she flushed with resentment
at her blunt unwillngness. TO leave
her strictly alone seemed the only way
to get along with Maggie, for while
she did her routine work faithfully
and well, if allowed to do it her own
way. she was always sullen when in
terfeded with or when asked to do
anything additional
And now she launched into a long,
excited argument about how she had
planned to go to South Orange to-
morrow afternoon, and if she stopped
to tx things for dinner she could not
get off at all; how with this big apart
ment and everything to do she never
had a moment to herself; how she
could not slight her work and could
do no more than she did.
Above everything else Helen hated

His son listened with an insolent cyni-

informed him.

prise-and something else. why, what

Helen S Thoughts.

Helen was tender-hearted to a fault
and the thoughteaf Maggie out there
alone in the kitchen, feeling that War
rem and she were in here talking abou,
her. quickly melted her anger. 1t was
two against one, and the one was in the
helpless position of depending upon the
other two for her living.
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-03-04

great many things flashed through
Helen's mind in the next few moments
the drudgery of housework, and the
greater drudgery of the scrub or char
woman, so often the fate of those too
old for hOuseWork And Maggie was
no longer young. Perhaps she had been
out in the kitchen thinking of just these
things, wondering, If she lost this posi-
tion how long it would be before she
could get another, and how much long
er before she could get none at all
Then Helen thought of herself Sc
cure in the protection of her home and
her husband. Surely she could afford
to be generous to this other woman
who was so alone.
After dinner she crept into Warren's
lap and told him of all she had been
thinking al the table, ending with:
Dear. she DOES do her work well,
and. after all, that's the main thing.
Let's try to put up with the rest. We
can afford to-" nesting her face against
his neck. We've got so much, dear,
and just think how little ; lie has!"
But the cold practica ility of the
morning often hardens |he softened
