The Little, Homely, Duiful
Husband Is Appreciated
More When a Beau Brum-
mel Gets Into a Scandal.

Lefty held the parlor curtain a little
aside and looked out at her husband
| shoveling snow. He was a little man,
was Thaddeus; short of stature, slight,
with narrow shoulders, and an indescrib-
ably lean aspect, accentuated by the
veins that stood out on his temples when
he made the exertion Of lifting a heavy
shovelful and throwing it to one side. He
was. in short, the type that men refer to
contemptuously as q shrimp" and he
had a little thread of mustache that
would be characterized by the irreverent
as "dinky."
Yet as she stood watching him through
the parlor curtain. he looked good to
Lefty. 1t was true that he was insign.fi-
cant; that he was not particularly am
bilious; that he had no better temper
than the average man. and was always
cross when he came home hungry; but
he was hers, and he was true to her. On
this particular day that Qualification
struck Lefty as the acme that any wife
could desire. Her head was full of the
Dunbury scandal. with which the whole
neighborhood had been ringing since
early morning; and not only Lefty. but
many q wife that day had had a feeling
as though the ground had suddenly slip
ped out from under her feet. as though
not only the infamous IDunbury. but all
men were faithless.
For Dunbury had been, apparently, de-
voted to Mrs. Dunbury, who was a wom-
an Of great charm, and who made him
an attractive and comfortable home She
had thrown over several excellent offers
in order to marry Dunbury against her
parents wishes. People said he didn't
amount to much;" he was a good-looking,
dashing sort of fellow. with nothing but
his looks and his smartness to recon-
mend him. Still, nobody dreamed that he
was not a pillar of fidelity-until he ran
away with the pretty cashier at the local
stationer's.
After the first shock. when Lefty and
other wives thought to themselves with
faint suspicion. 'T wonder-?" she was
conscious of a warmt' of affection for
Thaddeus, a glow of comfort in that af- |

Long time ago the Indians who lived
on the high islands of rock that rose out
of a desert as wide as the sea and so
full of wonderful color that 1t is called
the painted desert used to tell the
little boys and girls a story to explain
Why the ant is so thin in the middle that
she seems about to fall apart.
AS the old man told that story, sitting
in the warm sunshine and watching a
long line Of ants going by. there was a
time when the ants and all the other
creatures could talk and plan the same
as people do now. In that time they had
their dances and their medicine" they
had their chiefs and their funny men and
their priests. and in that time when the
ant child became old enough she was al
ways dressed UP and taken to the house
of the chief priest and made a member
OF the same religious family that her peo-
pie belonged to.
Well, one day the father and mother
and the grandfather and the grand
mother of one little ant thought IL was
time for that one to go to the house of
the chief priest and be made a member
of their family in the usual way. So
they dressed her in her finest clothes
and painted her little face with color
from the soft stones. Then they took her
to the house of the chief priest under the
ground
Down in that house under the ground
the floor was swept clean, and some
drummers were seated around the edge
of the room pounding away on the small
est drums that ever were. In the middle
OF the room was q seat for the little ant
child to sit upon while she waited for
the priests to come.
When the little one was seated on
that seat, her father and mother and
T.. - l. a
up to the top Of the ground. and sat
down to wait. After a little while
tho messenger who had gone to tell
the priests that the ant child was
ready came back and said that the
priests were on their way.

SPRING TABLE DECORATION.

A charming table decoration can be
carried out entirely in yellow and white.
1t will harmonize delightfully."- with heavy
oak and dark colorings of so many din
ing rooms. A polished mahogany table
should be laid without a cloth. damask
hemstitched runners being placed along
the sides instead. In the center slender
glass vases with silver stands, silver
candelabra, with yellow silk or paper
shades, and silver dishes piled high with
yellow fruit. such as bananas. pears, and
apples, will be most effective
The vases should be filed with yellow
and white jonquils and feathery mimosa,
arranged as lightly as possible. while
smilax trails can reach from one vase
to another or be entwined about the
bases of the candlesticks and dishes.
The yellow note can again be empha-
sized by tiny dishes filled with yellow
bonbons or crystalized fruits in yellow
paper holders. while those who are lucky
enough to possess any specimens of old
china with a yellow border or pattern
will find them invaluable assets, and
touch to this dainty color scheme which
will complete its perfection.

Very soon the father and mother and
the grandfather and grandmother of
the little ant heard the sound of the
singers as they came running across
the sand toward the house of the chief
PRIEST Each one of the singers wore
over his face a mask, and they danced
strange. wild sort of dance as they
came.
Down into the house OF the chief
priest underground ran the singers
and dancers, and the sound OF their
singing and dancing came up to those
who waited above. But pretty soon
those who waited on top of the ground
heard the sound of crying: they
thought IL must be the sound Of cry
ing from the little ant, but they could
not be sure.
Pretty soon they did feel sure that
the little ant down in the house of
the chief priest was crying, and SO
the father and mother and the grand
father and grandmother of the little
ant ran down to see why she was cry
ing They found that those who had
come with masks on their faces were
not the proper priests. but some funny
men.
Each one of these funny men among
the ants had a long whip, and they
were lashing the little ant across the

danced about her. And she sat still
on the seat crying! She thought IL
was the proper thing to do.
But when the father and mother and
the grandfather and grandmother of
the little ant saw what was going on
they stopped it at once! It was about
time. too, for the funny men had al
most cut the little ants body in two
with their whips,
Ever since that time. IL you believe
the old men. all the ants have been
so thin at the middle of their bodies
that you'd think they would fall
