MARJoRy oescRIsEs a TRIP TO
nv Mae. EVA LEONARD.


."Oh, / had the pleasantest time in
Kansas City, helping Mollie select her
furniture!" Marjory was flying around
getting the belated dinner on the table.
Did Clyde go? I haven't seen him
around the factory today" Tom had
followed his wife to the kitchen.
Yes. he went, but he might as well
have stayed at home for all the in
fluence he had in selecting the furni-
ture.
How was that?" Tom raised his
eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh, whatever Mollie selected was
all right" laughed Marjory. She
would take fancy to chair and beg
Clyde to come and see how he liked
it. He would dutifully go and sit in
it, to let her get the effect of her
home as he expressed it. She would
ask him If he liked 1t and he would
smile and say, If you do. l admire
your taste 1t was delightful to see the
little woman. You know how quiet
she is. Well. she was the busiest lit
tie body you ever saw with her pencil
and tablet, selecting, matching colors
and SO forth with an excited red spot
in each of her cheeks. Clyde enjoyed
it all right"
They can get into the house by the
time the furniture gets here, can't
they? 1t looks as if it were all fin
ished," continued Tom.
Yes, they are cleaning 1t now.
Tom, you will have to go into the liv-
ing room if you ever want to get any
dinner. l am so busy talking with
you that l cannot think what l am do
ing. These potatoes we're Just on the
point Of burning. and potatoes are pure
gold and must be treated with respect
these days" Tom laughed.
"I'll go and set the table. That will
help the good cause along" Soon the
Gathering dishes showed that he was
as good as his word. When they
were finally seated at the table and
everything had been served Marjory
began again.
| "All the way homo on the train
Mollie was unfolding her plans. AS
soon as they are settled she is to have
all the ladies' in our enighborhood crowd
in for a house warming. She will
serve from her new monogram china,
and use the pretty tea wagon"
''Oh she is going it strong with
monogram china, 10 she?" inquired
Tom.
That was q surprise from Father
Jaynes. 1t seems she had expressed a
liking for their china, so he ordered it
and it came last week.. She was so
! pleased. That blessed man told her
when she started for the city that he
would foot the bills. She might or
der what she chose"
Tom whistled. "She Is not the one
to take advantage of any such liberal
offer as that She bought good stuff,
but nothing very expensive. She likes
our cottage, you know, and while the
colors are altogether different, the
furniture arrangement will be similar"
continued the laxative little wife.
LAS the house arrangement is the
same that would have to be to a great
extent" said Tom.
Il well, all / can say is II they are
coy and contented as we are they will
be lucky mortals." Marjory poured
herself another cup of tea.
$50 say the whole family" was the
enthusiastic response. Here's hoping
they are happy" Tom lifted his cup
of tea and was followed by Marjory.
Il must tell her about our toast. 1t
will please her. Tea is a fireside
beverage to dring to fireside happi-
ness 1t ought to become the fashion"
: Marjory arose and going around to
Toms place she bent over him and
turned his face up to hers to be kiss
ed.
Tom" she whispered. 81 am so
happy sometimes l am afraid
Afraid of what. Puss?" Tom caught
her hands ~and held them in place
around his neck.
