Cured of Borrowing.

young suburban matron gleefully.
"You see," she explained, 1--WE are not
near any store, and, Of course, some
times one has to depend on nelghbor
in an emergency. But my particular
neighbor seemed to have such emerg-
encies nearly every day. And 1t was
usually vinegar that she wanted. Now
we are particular about our vinegar,
and get the best variety, and Of course
when Mrs. Neighbor asked for vinegar
we gave her our best. But when she
returned 1t she sent very cheap
grade, which we were unable to use,
and were obliged to throw out.
"This was repeated so often that we
began to weary Of 1t, and suddenly a
bright idea struck me. 1 carefully
poured her cheap vinegar into bottle
and saved 1t. Next time she asked me
to lend her vinegar l sent her own to
her. The cure worked. She has never
asked for another drop, and I sup

CHAPTER VIII.
Rodney Smiled.


The next day, Rose took two steps
toward making herself her husbands
intellectual companion.
From a university catalog she pick
ed out the names Of half dozen ele-
mentary textbooks on law, and then
went to n bookstore and bought them.
She had taken her determination
during the endless waking hours Of
the night: she was going to study law
study 1t with all her might!
The other step was to go and hear
Rodney's argument in court that day.
She was successful in slipping into the
rear of the courtroom-up on the
eighth floor of the Federal building
without attracting her husbands at
tention; and for two hours and half
she listened, with mingled feelings, to
his argument. There was no use pre-
tending that she could follow her hus-
bands reasoning. Listening to it had
something the same effect upon her
as watching some enormous, COM
plicated, smooth-runnlng mass Of ma
chinery. She was conscious of the
power of 1t, though ignorant Of what
made 1t 60, and Of what 1t was ac-
complishing.
The three stolid figures behind the
high mahogany bench seemed to be
following 1t attentively, though they
irritated her bitterly, sometimes, by in
dulglng in whispered conversations.
And, presently, he just stopped talk
ing and began stacking up his notes.
The oldest judge mumbled something,
everybody stood up, and the three stiff,
formidable figures filed out by side
door. 1t was all over.
But nothing had happened!
Rose had expected to leave the
courtroom In the blissful knowledge
of Rodney's victory or the acceptance
of his defeat. In her surprise over the
failure of this climax to materialize,
she almost neglected to make her es-
cape before he discovered her there.
One practiNal advantage she had
gained out of what was, on the whole,
rather unsatisfactory afternoon. When
she had gone home and changed into
the sort of frock she thought he'd like
and come downstairs In answer to his
shouted greeting from the lower hall,
she didn't say. as otherwise she would
have done, sHow did 1t come out
Roddy? Did you win2'
In the light Of her newly acquired
knowledge she could see how question
of that sort would irritate him. In
stead of that, she said: "You dear old
boy, how dog-tired you must be! How
do you think n went? Do you thiA&
you impressed them? bet you did !"
And, not having been rubbed the
wrong way by foolish question, he
held her off with both hands for q
moment, then Rugged her up and told
her she was trump. 81 had sort

Whereupon he shot look at her
and observed that evidently he wasn't

She did not rise to this cast, how
ever. "All right" she said; admitting
that her ankles are serious and her
mind isn't. what Is Joan going to do

"It's easier to say what she's not to

her mind. II she will take either
one Of them seriously, or both for

He could. no doubt, have continued
upon the theme indefinitely, but the
table turned the other way just then
and Rose took up an alleged c0nver-
satlon with the man at her right which
lasted until they left the table, and
Included such topics as indoor golf,
woman's suffrage, the new dances,
Bernard Shaw, Campanini, and the
political parties; with perfectly

CHAPTER VII.
A Freudian Physician.

Roses arrival at the dinner-a little
late, to be sure, but not scandalously
created n mild sensation. None of
the other guests were strangers, either,
on whom she could have the effect
of novelty. But when she came into
the drawing room-in such wonder
full gown-put on tonight because she
felt somehow like especially pleasing
Rodney-when she came In, she re-
oxygenated the social atmosphere.
She was, in fact, stranger. Her
voice had a bead on 1t which reused
a perfectly unreasoning physical ex,
cltement-the kind Of bead which, In
singing, makes all the difference be-
tween church choir and grand opera,
The glow they were accustomed to
in her eyes concentrated itself into
flashes, and the flush that so often,
and so adorably, suffused her face,
burned brighter now In her cheeks and
left the rest pale.
And these were true indices Of the
changes that had taken place within
her. From sheer numb incredullty,
she had reacted to fine glow of in
dignation. She had found herself sud
denly feeling lighter, older, indescrib'
ably more confident. They shouldn't
suspect her humiliation or her hurt.
Her husband, James Randolph re-
fected, had evidently either been max.
ing love to her, or indulglng in the civil
lied equivalent of beating her; he was
curious to find out which. And, having
learned from his wife that Rose was
to sit beside him at the table, he
made up his mind that he would. A
physician of the Freudian school, train
ed TO analyze peoples souls, he was
well equipped to find out, without
Roses knowledge.
He didn't attempt it, though, during
his first talk with her-conflned him.

New Ideas in Graduation Frocks

If 1t were not for net, crepe geor-
gette might be said to hold first place
In the esteem Of fashion for mid
summer dressy frocks, and If 1t were
not for crepe georgette, we would GER
tainly concede that distinction to net.
AS it is they flourish with equal sue
cess and appear side by side in the
most enchanting dresses.
But when 1t comes to choosing ma
terlals for graduation frocks there Is
nothing quite so well liked as net. 1t
is sprightly and youthful looking and
dresses made Of 1t are planned to vlsu-
alize the young summer. Plain, fine
meshed nets are exactly suited to the
youth of those who are just about to
bid farewell to schooldays. In spite
of the lovely, lnterminable procession
of white-clad maids that have passed
along this same path, some new
touches have been found to dlstin-
gulsh the dresses of this years gradu-
ates. Little, inconsplcuous accessories
and novel decorations make them in
teresting and the daintiness and re-
finement Of net and organdle make
them beautiful.
