VNTASNT it too bad about Mrs. Ronald
w Barlows accident? Every one was
skating out at Merton on New Years
afternoon, and it certainly was a glorious
day to be there. wasn't it? Well, Mrs. Bar
low is as good a skater as she is a golfer
land that's going some. you must admio
and she looked particularly stunning in a
black velvet costume and little black "tri-
corne" trimmed with fur pompoms. Every
one had been watching her exhibition of
skating with envy. when suddenly some.
thing tripped her and she went down with
terrific whack-and really 1t seemed as
II the next moment everybody on that lake
was trying to get into that tiny hut on
the bank at the same identical moment to
see IL they could help.
OF course. they were all pretty much
scared, for she looked so white lying there
on the floor, and heard two "frst.aiders'
struggling to remember the difference be-
tween a broken or a sprained or strained
ankle. Finally some one did get her up
to one OF the motors on the hill. and
was very glad to see them start for home.
do hope the accident will prove TO be
less serious than it at first seemed.
IT'S awfully hard when you're a very
L young war bride to remember to be
ready for any emergency when you are
giving your grocery order. So, it's awfully
fortunate for certain charming Philadel-
phian, who only graduated from school a
few years ago, that her neighbor i'm the
apartment house is just as young and in
experienced as she, and that they are both
"doing without" maids. One Sunday after
noon not long ago some friends dropped in
unexpectedly for tea. Rushing out to her
madess kitchen, the young matron hur-
riedly arranged some delicious little cakes
on a wedding.present plate, and some
wedding-present teacups on an engagement
present teatray, and picked up five'and
ten.cent.store knife to slice some lemons
But there were no lemons, and the store
was closed. and there was only one thing
to do--so she did it, And Friend Neighbor
was "Why, my dear, perfectly delighted to
be able to do it," So that was all right, and
the tea was delicious.
A few evenings later a hurried knock at
the back door preceded n plea for some
kind, any kind of canned stuff" because
the candied sweet potatoes got burned. and
there were people for dinner and only
4 one vegetable. With distress In every
tone. the little housekeeper admitted that
she had nothing in u can except a clean
ing powder. Then, just as the door closed
she called, 'Oh, wait a minute!" and a
hopeful face appeared again around the
edge of the door.
Wont you just let me hand you a
lemon, now? forgot all about 1t till just
this minute" And then as it struck them
both at the same moment, they stood and
rocked together on the back porch, and
laughed and laughed. while their respective
dinners burned and burned!
