And Mnude? Maude was the solace.
Maude was the comforter. Maude was
the sweet angel of pity who poured a
healing balm on the aching heart.

end of his latest outburst. when you

is more Of q mans job to make a
spunky motor behave than to hold
some little Daisies hand over the coun.
ter showing her how to unclasp the
latest thing in pocketbooks.'
There was one thing about Maude-
she always knew how to- say the right
thing at the right time. That's why
Carey came to see her in his trouble.
She knew that, and If you don't think
she had a few burnings on her own
account over that very thing you don't
know the heart Of a girl. No girl wants
to be the diary Of any man concerning
his affair with the other girl, no mat
ter whether she cares for the man or
not.
And Maude loved Carey-she hated
herself for It. She knew she was only
something comfortable to him, like an
old shoe or a warm dressing gown on
a cold morning. She knew she ought
not to listen to his troubles. but should
tell him plainly that she would be no
mans confessor. But, then, Carey
would stop coming and the thought OF
not seeing his soft, brown curls as he
hent across the table when he became
very earnest or bowed in his hands
when he was too tortured to look up at
her left such a stab in her heart that
she let things go on and despised her
weakness.
When Carey said good.by that night
he placed a light hand on either OF
NTaude's shoulders. you're a real pal,
Maude. the best pal a fellow ever had.
I don't e how some women can be
such angels and others-such devils
And when the door closed after him
Maude leaned up against the wall a
moment with closed eyes. "How differ.

her." she thought, 80 hungry clasp, a
kiss, a look deep in the eyes. And she
went to her room to cry herself to
sleep.
When the Country Club dance came
of, of course, Carey took Maude. She
was not without a certain prettiness
herself, this little lady of much wis
dom. She felt that tonight would be i;
sort OF test, for Laura would be there,
and excitement lent color to her
cheeks and sparkle to her eyes and
made her wonderfully attractive.

good of you to think Of it, Uncle Wig
gily.'
They found a nice little brook, and
leading the lamb to it, Uncle Wiggily
rolled up his sleeves and with the SOAP
and scrubbing brush began to wash the
black SCOT out of the fleecy wool Of
Marys little lamb.
Away and away scrubbed the bunny
uncle, making a great suddsy lather.
He rubbed it well into the fluffy wool
Then, when the soap suds were washed
out, why Marys lambs fleece was as
white as snow, just as it ought to be.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily." cried Mary.
How good you are, Now my little lamb
can follow me to school no matter if il
is against the rule. Thank you"
Then away she ran. and the lamb fol-
lowed after her, and Uncle Wiggily,
pleased that he had done a kindness,
took the rest Of the soap and the scrub
bing brush to Nurse Jane.
And if the man painting our house
