THE HOUSE HE BUILT


On his way back to the farm he
sent her a highly decorated post
card spelling lRboriously a brief,
meaningless message. 1t was an
event.
The next Autumn he came again.
They repeated their excursions into
those parts of the city which she
so seldom saw. And so the next
year and the next. She nodded
gravely and vaguely when he talked
of the cattle. Her eyes shone and
she became animatedly inqeisitive
when he told of the growing house.
the exchange OF post cards be-
came frequent as many as four or

been Annie. and he had been Tom.
Their intimacy ripened
This was the sixth time, and he
nerved himself as he saw her COM

She brushed the table slowly with
a crumpled napkin, fiicking the
crumbs to the worn linoleum. Hud-
son picked his hat from beneath
the chair and placed It with uncon-
scious swagger on his big -blonde
head. He looked at her from frank
eyes and settled his feet to the
floor, placed botn hands, palms
down, on his knees, and commenced
to talk.

She looked at him with flushed
cheeks, and a frightened smile nut
tered across her plain little features.
"'Course we are not much style,
but we're comfortable. We've got
real pleasant neighbors-two fami-
lies.

Another girl, tired and pale, came
from the kitchen and passed
through to the street.
What do you say?"
Perhaps the tone carried just the
slightest suggestion OF pleading.
But the girl did not notice. Her
mind had been made up-made up
for a long time. II was that OF
which she had dreamed: to forget
the restaurant smells, to get away
from the room. to have a house all
her own
Often had she sworn tearfuliy
when she was all alone because
things were as they were.
But now--to tell him that she
wanted to go out there to that

is the feature OF solid" embroid-
cry. II a third or fourth shade Of
silk Is required to I'll the petals.
these stitches are put in same as
those Of the second row, but the
lower edge OF the last row should
follow the outline OF the petal, same
as the outer edge. When a petal
appears folded, the darker shades
follow the line OF the folds.
When part OF a form appears in
shadow, work that part in darker
shades than the parts in higher
lights. BY carrying some stitches
of the darker shades farther toward
the edge, they will shade with the
higher lights. II an entire petal is
in shadow, begin the outer edge
with a second or third shade used
in other petals.
For very heaVy enect raise the
outer edge by working across the
edge Of the petal with a long stitch
on top and a short one underneath.
These stitches should be at right
angles to the stitches which will
cover them. The amount OF stitches
for this underlay will depend upon
the height desired.
For table linens this method Is
not often employed; It is more gen.
eral for ricn materials where a
heavy appearance cannot be OBJ
tanned in any other way.

nothing more.
"Maybs--for some folks" his wife
said after a long wait.
She walked to the door and gaEsd
out across the nat to where huge
heaps OF welded rock reared them
selves toward the chilling sky. The
breeze that blew up the river was

away over there were miles on

Her question broke a long 81
