 Rather presumptuous of Mrs. Smith, I call it." the other woman responded, and my heart went out to her.
 She snapped at $20." The words made me feel like a beggar I felt at that moment that I fairly hated Mrs. Smith, and that when she came into the room, if she ever did, I should tell her so.

What Madge Overheard in the Club House While She Waited for
 Mrs, Smith

ARoaLoC w Ifiit tSTIS NdHs\u ioA
 Mrs. Smith.
 What was the reason for my mother-in-law's sudden defense of my work outside my home?
 This was the question which de- manded an answer of me every minute of the journey to the rooms of the Lotus Study club, 215 West Washington avenue. It accompanied me into the subway and out again, and almost to the door of the club rooms.
 I heard again Dicky's cutting re- mark about my laundering the brains of club women," and his mothers unexpected reply:
 "Richard, I am ashamed of you. Margaret is perfectly justified in this work Ycu ought to be proud she is able to do it instead of ridicu- ling her.
 Why had she said it? Wh,- :? Why? Why? Was she really sincere in her words. or was there somc other purpose behind her apprOval-some plan of her own the carrying cut of W hch my doing this work would further?
 I had turned into West Washington street almost mechanically, and I saw with start that I was close to the number I wanted. Resolutely I put out of my mind everything save the ordeal before me.
 215! Yes that was the number Mrs. Smith had given me. I halted before distinctly unfashionablc yet comfortable three-story- and base ment "brownstone front with the area railings of a generation ago.
 Through the basement windows I caught glimpses of a cheerful and neatly appointed restaurant. The legend "CIub Grill" decorated modest card in one of the windows. All the upper story windows were screened with spotless white curtains
 As I went up the steps and scru- tinized the modest plate which bore the words: 'Lotus Study Club" tho coor swung open and a comedy colored maid smiled at me.
 "You are earlY,'' she said, with the careful cnunciation of the colored girl who has had the advantage of schooling. You are the very first"
 ''Then you will have to tell me where I am to go,' I returned, 'for l am not a member of your club. 1 was to meet Mrs. Helen Brainerd Smith here at half-after-
 You might as we'll go right up stairs to the dressing rooms then, for Mrs. Smith is often delayed"
 @'Never on time" I commented mentally, for I knew that was what the girl meant.
 She walked with me to tho foot of the stairs and indicated a door at the head of the staircase
 You will find my sister there" she said ''She will take care of you If Mrs. Smith comes before you come down what name shall I give her, please ?''
 Mrs Richard Graham, if you please.'
 "Thank you-I will remember"
 I walked up the stairs and into the dressing room, where another neat maid took off my coat and stood by attentively while I made sure before the mirror that my gown and hat were irreprOachable ard my hair in order had chosen my dress with a view to it's fitness for the occasion. I did l not wish to appear over dressed,

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

neither did I wish the women before me to consider me a "dowdy"
 So I had put on a green cloth gown trimmed with fur which matched my fur hat, stole and huff. Because it was cold I wore over the gown my semi-dress black velvet coat. This with the huff I left in charge of the maid; but after taking the stole off I looked in the mirror and promptly put it back again ar ranging it loosely around my should CTS. The cloth gown was cut with slight Vshaped opening at the throat while a high, wired cream lace collar rose above the fur at the back
 Mrs. Smith the Dictator
 I felt quite satisfied with the re- suit of my self-inspection. I knew there would be many more costly gowns, but l felt sure that mine was appropriate for the occasion, and that was all that I wanted.
 No other woman had yet come into the dressing rooms. I resolved to tify little natural curosity con- corning the club rooms
 Do all the rooms in the building hclons to this club?" I asked.
 on, yes, madam" the maid re- piled. Tn the basement thcro is a grill and tea room, which serves everybody, but is managed indirectly by the club. Then the first floor is given over to the assembly rooms They were the drawing room and Darlors of the house years ago when it was a private residence, and there are a couple of small rooms which ere used as committee rooms
 This floor has the dressing rooms a couple of bathrooms and the rest rooms. Would you like to see them ?"
 "No, thank you. And the third floor?"
 That is not fitted up. The ladies gre talking of turning it into one , large room, with a dancing floor. | But Mrs. Smith does not approve of | that, so I guess it will not be done. l She does not believe in the clubs | spending money"
 "Slc Snapped at S20.'
 The maids words only confirmed 1 the unpleasant impression l had ob- tained of Mrs. Smiths personality 1 when she and I Iunched together and discussed the terms of my work for the club Evidently she ruled !, the club with an iron hand.
 I went down the stairs, meeting {. number of early corners on the way | LID. The assembly rooms were de- serted, and a smile from the girl at the door was the only welcome I re- ceiVed to the club whose members I was to address in a few moments.
 As the minutes went by and the seats around me filled with women and yet no Mrs. Smith appeared, my nervousness vanished and my anger rose. It was unpardOnable that she should be so late when she had asked me to meet her at half-after- enc that she might tell me anything I wished to know before the club meeting was called at two.
 A bit of conversation I overheard from two women occupying seats in front of me intensified my anger.
 Have you ever seen this Mrs. Graham who is to speak to us?" asked one.
 "No," returned the other, 'but have heard of her work. l don't believe she is very much used to business, however. You know the committee voted to offer her $25 a ccture and Mrs. Smith said she snap ped at $2C. Rather clever of Mrs
