Don't tell me you're getting nerves" io looked at me curiously, and slipped his arm protectingly around nly shoulder.
 It would have been bissful to have leaned against him, but the thought Of the other woman's tortured face prevented my doing anything which would further harrow her feelings I gave another glance across Dicky's shoulder to see whether or not she had recovered herself.
 To my surprise she had neither changed her position nor looked away from us. She was not gazing at Dicky now, however, but at me. All trace of agitation had left her; there Was even a little color in her face, a curious little mocking smile upon her lips, as she looked at me. And never in all my life again do I wish to meet such concentrated malignity, such utter hatred, as was mirrored in her eyes.
 Her eyes held mine for a moment, fascinated; then, with little shrug of her shoulders, she turned away and I knew that the danger of Dicky's realizing her agitation was passed. What are you looking at so ear nestly ?" Dicky demanded. Without waiting for an answer, he turned swiftly, following my gaze, and catching sight of the retreating back of Grace Draper.
 Good Lord!' he gasped in con- sternation. Do you suppose she heard what I said ?'
 "Oh, I'm sure she didn't,' I replied mendaciously, for there was no use trying to shield the girl unless I was prepared to do it thoroughly.
 Dicky looked at me curiously. Whether he believed me or not I do not know. At any rate, he did not press the question further
 Underwood Really Rebellious,
 Neither did he again refer to pr. Pettit to my sincere relief. Indeed, he had not much opportunity to say anything further, for Harry Under wood came up to us just then and struck Diczy a ringing blow between the shoulders
 "See here, my lad,'' he said, ''where do you think you are anyway? This isn't Turkey, you know, where a man can keep pretty wife yelled and kill any other man that talks to her. This isn't my idea of party at all. You just hand over Mrs. Graham to me, and go and rout out that lazy Jim. He's so busy gassing with Katie that he's forgotten all about getting any grub ready.''
 Dicky flushed at Harry Under woods reference to Turkey, but he took the banter good-naturedly.
 Always looking for something to eat,'' he jibed. If I hadn't a soul above my stomach-'
 "Never mind my innards v growled his friend ''You're the host St this here party, aren't you? A pretty host you are, letting everybody starve to death because you're too lazy even to make anOher man get to work. I'll bet you Mrs. Graham Is nearly fainting from hunger, so run along, my lad, I'll take care of your wife. I have a most important en- ga gemen with her."
 He grinned at me naliciOusly. knew what he meant. His threat to kiss me under water was fresh in my mind.

Of course people who cannot find effort-personally I think that a kind of mental laziness has a good deal to do with the inability are exasperat- ing. But when you have lived with a person forty years and found out that that is one of his unchangeable cha racteristics, what is the use of fretting and fuming every time he manifests it?
 Married Folks Ought To Help Each Other.
 l believe that married folks should try to help each other overcome their faults. And mind you, I don't mean l by censOrious fault-finding, but bv helping them in kindly spirit to see the faiings and then by encourage ment and fOrbearance and by noticing and praising every effort to overcome But when it becomes evident in the course of human events that certain
 faults are a practically ineradicable 1 part of the housemate's character ] isn't it infinitely wiser to take them for granted instead of fussing and fretting l about them every time they manifest l themselves? Especially when they are 1 minor faults that don't really make such lot of difference unless you l let them?
