THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
THE MOST AWFUL DAY OF MY LIFE

CHAPTER XIII
1--WE had my mail sent to the Wal
dorf," said Dick, as we neared the
Grand Central station in New York
this morning. ''I'll be apt to see some
one there from out of town that will
do me some good. You know every
one, who can, from the tall grass
still stops at the Waldorf"
Our rooms were up high and very
pleasant and, after, smoky Chicago,
the clear, brilliant sunshine was most
welcome.
There was big package of mail
for Dick, and as soon as we had dis
missed the porters and; the bellboys
and the maids he seated himself by
a window and rapidly ran over it. He
picked out one letter quickly and aft
er reading it called me from the other
room where had been laying out
the toilet articles and trying to get
things into shape.
"Oh, Madge! Here is something
that will interest you.
Morton writes: I am glad you
will be able to buy some stock in our
company next month. While there is
none for sale to outsiders, you know
we. are always glad to sell our treas
ury stock to our employees at par.
President Selwin remarked, when
told him that you wanted sixty-five
shares of stock, that he was very
glad you were going to invest your
savings with us and he would be
pleased to let you have them at any
timer "
All the time Dick was reading this
my heart was beating like trip ham
mer, but l was dumb when he fin

ooh, if that is the way you feel
about it"
'Now, Dick, let's don't quarrel on 2

shall be very glad to buy fifty shares
of that stock, but never since my
mother died have l been otherwise
than independent in money matters
and would be perfectly miserable to =
be so now"
But / told Morton l wanted sixty

well, can't you say you have
changed your mind?"
81 can't understand, Madge, what
you want with fifteen hundred dollars
when you know you are welcome to
any and all of my salary"
THAT is just it, Dick; it's your sal
airy and my money. You must re-. y
member, dear, that 1 have been a
wage Garner as well as you. Let's put
it the other way: Suppose it was MY.
SALARY that was going to support
US and YOUR MONEY we were going
to. inVest-wouIdn't you want little
money of your very own where you
could get at it?"
1.-THE cases are very different"
said Dick, with great dignity, "and if
you will not listen to reason there
is nothing more to be said"
Then he went out and slammed
the door and 1 sat down and cried
while all my dreams came tunbIing
down about my head and thumped
upon my heart. ~
do not see what l can do, for
know l will be miserable if l do not
have some money of my own, and
Dick has said nothing about giving
me an allowance. Perhaps, it is my
duty to let him have all this money.

whole lot of fun into Thursday

annual banquet, entertainment and

reversed and the banquet was given
precedence. Call was made for
one hundred couples, and several
over that number responded at
the first invitation. The overflow
exceeded the original number and
the tables were filed second
time.
A full orchestra was stationed in
the banquet room and the hearty
applause accorded each number
testified to the appreciation with
which their music was received.
Woodmen caterers have never
yet failed to provide an abundance
of toothsome viands and no one
present was seen to reach for hid
den sandwich or matted milk

Cut flowers in vases lent beauty
and elegance to the tables and the
banquet hall was gorgeously deco

Valentine conceits.
Following the banquet, an ex-
cellent program was rendered in

no Woodmen social function would
be complete, held sole sway.

the one which has local town or
city which is progressive and looks
out for the best interest of its
patrons.
The jealousy, which frequently
exists, of the farmer for the city
resident or vice versa is usually
unfounded and should not obtain.
In this country neither has the
right of precedence over the other
by reason of birth, education or
previous conditions of living.
What this country needs is to
exercise and bring into play that
qualification of push and energy
to which the entire west has laid
claim. Boost, but boost right.
Publish your opportunities, but
tell the truth about them and you
will find that to be all sufficient.
You can't do this single handed
nor in pairs but with an altogether
movement such an impetus can
be obtained that obstacles can be
overcome and the forward move
ment cannot be retarded.
The opportunity is always with
us. 1t is here now and in plain
sight, with the prospective railroad
to the north, affording the farmers
in that district much needed trans
portation facilities and reason
for more intense cultivation; with
the expected mining movement in
the camps to the southwest max
ing market for our produce, feed
stutfs and wares, we should in the
near future feel the effects as
community, and profit thereby.
