Why, didn't you get our
wireless and telegrams?'
Our? Who is with your"
l exclaimed. Who do you mean
by "our"?'
Mother actually blushed, and
nice looking rather rotund man
with bald head made his appear
ance from behind a piece of stat
uary and large palm.
Children" she quavered, this
is my husband, Mr.. Trent--this is
Chadwick and Mollie.
l sat down quickly, l was SO
overcome.
Didn't you know" asked
mother.
"Of course not" answered
Chad.
We'll, dear Margie, after all,
mother is accompanying Chad and
me on our wedding trip and has
added another in the person of
Mr.. Trent to the family party.
ut is funny to hear mother
expatiate on dear old dads
virtues and laboriously explain
that she could never love again
as she loved him. All the
while she is doing this poor Mr..
Trent sits mum looking so miser-
able. II l were ever to marry
again I'd certainly let my first
husband rest in peace.
81 really believe, though, that
after some sort of fashion he is
quite happy. You know, mother
is good to look at with her white
hair, her still fine teeth and her
still brilliant dark eyes. She has
grown young, too, in her happi-
ness, and l am mighty glad she
has gotten some one of her very
own to look after her, :
But, oh, Margie, I wish she
were satisfied to let Chad and ME
alone. She insists we shall be
spectators to Mr.. Trent's homage
from morning until night. Chad
chafes under it. am hourly
afraid of some kind of an out
break.
"Our honeymoon is over for
you can't moon with four. can
you? Margie dear, l have been
wondering IL you were as happy
with Dick as Chad and are. /
don't think you could be even In
the first flush of married life, for,
Dick has none of those differentiaI
traits and flattering manners that
Chad has.
"You would think I was the
princess in the fairy tale, and in
one thing | wish l could emulate
her. You remember the lines.
Across the hills and far away
Beyond their utmost purple rim
She followed him.
.If Chad would only start, how
quickly | would follow"

track will be banked. Then the
field will be left for several
months-possibly until next
spring-to allow the ground time
to settle. By year from next
summer the field will be ready
for use.
Adjoining this field, between
the track and the bath house, will
be a wading pool-something new
to Tacomans.
Supt. Hill is already making
plans for the construction of this
novel feature. 1t will be a large,
shallow basin. There will be
large piles of sand. Young chill
dren can wade to their hearts
content and dig in the sand,
without any of the dangers they
confront when they play about
the treacherous beaches.
There is a possibility that the
wading pool will be completed
this summer.

The two other new features
which the park board yesterday
approved are concrete wall
along the beach between the
Point Defiance pavilion and the
proposed concourse and wharf half
way to the point, and a new paved
road.
! The concrete wall will prevent
further erosion by the waves.
The Hare plans call for a 40
foot cement promenade along the
edge of the beach. The concrete
wall will form the outer founda-
ton of this promenade. 1t will
have stairs leading to the beach
at frequent intervals, and re-
cesses into the hillside for
benches and seats.
The paved road, which will
cost $4,000, and which has al
ready been ordered, will form a
return road from the picnic
ground to the park entrance.
