ACCEPTED;
OFFICIALS WILL COME.
Gen. Thompson and Others
Write Secretary of Henry
County Fair Association

H. L. Bruce, secretary of Hen
ry County Fair Association, is in
receipt of letters accepting the
invitation recently extended by
him to attend the Fair this fall,
from Attorney General Frank
M. Thompson, Comptroller
John B. Thomason, Railroad
Commissioner George N. WEIGH,
and State Treasurer Porter
Dunlap.
Gen. Thompson, who is a form
er Henry countian, wrote Mr..
Bruce as follows:
Your letter of May 3Oth, ad-
dressed to me at Nashville, was
received and should have been
answered sooner but | have been
at Jackson in attendance upon
the Supreme Court. In your
letter you say:
"This association has designat-
ed Saturday, September 30th
(last day of our fall meet as
Volunteer State Day" and has
extended an invitation to the
Governor and, his staff to be
present in company with Treas
urer Dunlap, Secretary of State
Sneed, Comptroller Thomason,
Railroad Commissioners Enloe
and WEIGH and yourself as States
Attorney.
"The fair meeting for the
coming season is in the nature of
a home coming, and in view
of the fact that our Attorney
General, Governor, Treasurer
and Comptroller are all Henry
Countians, a thing which in all
probability will never occur
again, it is earnestly desired that
lyou take advantage of this op-
portunity to mingle with the
rapidly thinning ranks of your
boyhood associates.
I'VE trust you will confer with
other interested parties, and ar
range to honor the occasion with
your presence.
Since the receipt of this letter
| have had no opportunity to
confer with the gentlemen
named; however, without doing
so | take this occasion to accept
the invitation, and will, unless
prevented by sickness, be on
hand on that occasion. Nothing
will give me more pleasure than
to go back to my old home under
these circumstances and meet
the people with whom | was
brought up.

She was quite vivid now with pride in
her idea. A hurt expression came into
Shirleys eyes.

little apartment, perplexed, taken aback.

"Of course I'm happy, old dear. But

Then she tried to explain to him; but
she did not quite understand it herself.
And Shirley understood it even less. Like
most husbands he accepted all his ideas
of matrimony second hand. You loved
girl and married her and took good care
of her, and it was up to her to be happy.
What if she had formed few habits of
living of her own If they were the kind
of habits that had nothing to do with
being good wife and housekeeper, then
the quicker they were forgotten the better.
But, Shirley Louise cried, when he
expounded these things to her, "what if
you found that your business took up
only half your time?"
"Oh, well, mans different said

work, in forty minutes the dishes were
washed and the kitchenette in shining

of neatness. By half-past nine Louise had
changed from her bungalow apron to her
everyday street suit and was on her way
to do the days marketing. By half-past
ten she was back again. Vegetables We're

luncheon was eaten, the geraniums We're

earning living? Children? The fear of
having children was the one cloud on
Shirley's and Louises horizon. Not that
they did not want children-sometime
They had talked it over, shyly but ear
nestly, and they were agreed that children
on twenty dollars week were out of the
question.
So Louise made an honest effort to keep
busy and contented in the apartment that
would have ratified around in Megargel's
main Office, and that was most appallingly
quiet from seven-thirty in the morning to
six o'clock in the afternoon.

eclair just consumed in Ye Old English
Tea Room across the street. Her brown
eyes sparkled; her brown hair, with
lively CLINT of red in it, crinkled out from
under her brown velvet tam-o' -shanter.
The genuine pink in her cheeks, the
straightness of her back, the smart way
she wore her well pressed brown suit, the
curves of the smile that disclosed the
whiteness of her teeth, all cried out to
Shirley that here was a girl of health and
energy and sweetness.
He stepped into the hall just behind
her, and was privileged to see her dash for
the Office door of Duffy & Megargel,
peeling off her jacket as she ran. AS he
entered he saw her catch up her dictation
pad on her way to Megargel's private Of
fee. She gave him the merest laughing
glance out of the corner of her eye, put
out her tongue at the other girls, who
We're already at work, and disappeared
behind Megargels door.
1t must have been her little red tongue
that did for Shirley, although he was
conservative young man, with old-fash-
toned ideas about girls and the way they
should behave on all occasions. But
Shirley kind always take it hardest when
it comes. From the moment when he
walked up to man he knew in the
outer Office and said, Introduce me to
AIegargel's stenographer, will you?s he
was in love with her. He was in love with
her vitality. her high spirits, her health

around in Duffy & Megargel's main
office. But to Louise and Shirley this
apartment was casket of all the joys
in the world.
The first meal they ate off their little
new round table was so rapturous an
occasion as to be almost solemn. As
Louise poured the coffee and passed his
cup to Shirley, her eyes shone so that one
would almost have thought there were
tears in them. And Shirley came around
the table and caught her up to him in a
surge of emotion that he could not have
explained.
"Isn't it wonderful they whispered to
each other. sour own table, our own
things, our own home!"
In these days Louise was trimming

Lou, but there's one thing straight: I
don't want my wife working for wages.
A nice kind of husband I'd look,
wouldn't 1? Suppose some of the fellows
in the office should find it out, what
would they think? D'you think Huxley
or Brown let their wives go out to work?
Well, | guess not! No. When it gets so
| can't support my wife, I'd better
quit"
THAT was Shirley's ultimatum. At in
tervals for some days this subject was
renewed between them. But Shirley had
taken up position sanctioned by every
precedent he believed in: he was going to
protect his wife from the rude world, no
matter what it cost her. He was very
young.
And at last they spoke of it no more.
Louise went on with the daily round
of little duties. She had assured Shirley
that it was not more money she wanted,
exactly; but in her heart she knew she
missed that weekly envelop, or rather she
missed the sensation that accompanied
that envelop. And day by day she
grew more bored, not with matrimony
nor with Shirley, but with the monotony
of work that did not fully occupy either
her hands or her brain. Her vaunted
pep manifested itself only spasmod-
ically now, in violent attacks of house,
cleaning; but more and more often the
breakfast dishes stood on the table half
the forenoon, while she knelt with her ell
bows on the window-sill, staring down at
the street; and most of the afternoons she
lay on the bed in her kitchen apron, read
ing a novel or staring duly up at the
ceiling.
She grew little sallow from lack of
exercise and play; she complained of indi-
gestion: and she began to take less pains
with her personal appearance.
Then one day the reaction set in. She
had been lying on the bed in a kimono,
feeling half nauseated with dullness, when
suddenly she sat upright angrily.

aloud. "Get up and get OUT
An hour later she was stepping into the
elevator of a ten-story building, each
floor of which was given over to some form
of amusement. AS she left the elevator
at the fifth floor the syncopation of one
step frightened her eyes and set her toes
to tingling. Over floor like satin couples
were moving briskly.
Louise had been here many times before
with other girls, and once or twice with
Shirley before they were married. In
businesslike way she walked up to desk,
deposited quarter, and asked for an @in-
structor other words, a partner. Her
quarter allowed her three dances with
slightly bored, rather pimply young man.
But he could dance! And so could Louise.
She moved as if her feet were thistledown.
her eyes bright and happy.
AS she left the floor after the third
dance she caught sight of girl she knew.
She was a slender pretty blonde, who
wore no hat and conveyed a middle
aged man with asomewhat sheepish
smile on his face. By these tokens
Louise knew that Dora was one of the
"lady instructors
Hello. Lou!" cried Dora. Haven't
seen you since the year one. Heard you
got married. How'd you like it?'
"Fine!' declared Louise. @Where you
