Believe me, when you get married,

Mildred finished the story she
was reading with great deal of
complacence, undisturbed by her
mothers sexasperated r e m r k S.
Then she leaned back leisurely in
the rocker, and languidly scruti-
nized her finger nails.

What is the matter with the
girl?" questioned Mrs. Hilfman of
the buffet drawer. "Mr. Pillman is
coming. Did you forget already"
"Oh, Mr.. Pillman can go back.
Walking is good for his health. It
wouldn't hurt him to walk at least

Sarcasm, ridicule, disgust and
impatience, all were contained in
her enunciation of the simple per-

disregard of grammar was placed in
the objective case.
Mrs. Hilfman turned around and
faced her daughter, a surprised look
on her plump, good-natured face.
"Why, what objection have YOU

Mrs. Hilfman shut the buffet
drawer with a shove that upset all
the silverware she had carefully as
sorted within.
"I thought so, all the time, I
should live so," she said, seating
herself in a chair opposite her
daughter. ct thought is was
that Sam that was on your head
