A Making Over
 M
Copyright, 1919, by the Mcclure News

By MAY BELLEv1LLE BROWN

When Maxwell Britton came home that night, it was too late for one to see how shabby the bungalow looked. Indoors the living room borrowed a home-like look from the lamplight, and from the woman who sat sewing within its circle, but the lamplight was also a tell-tale, for 1t showed walls hung with faded paper, mended curtains and de- crepit furniture.
 "Ah, there, PatienceW Maxwell sa- luted his wife jauntily. 'T hope you did not mind my not coming home to supper, but Smithers gave me ticket to the bowling match at the athletic club, so I took a lunch and went right over. Great little match it was, tOO."
 His wife sewed on, serene and silent. Presently the man made another con- versational attempt.
 Looks awfully cozy in here tonight. I tell you I appreciate this nice little home of mine!"
 Patience raised her eyes and looked at her husband. She was fair woman, with broad, white brow and well-set head. Tonight her brown eyes and full-lipped mouth were gravely se- rious as she announced quietly:
 "Then you will be sorry to give it up!'
 "Wha-at?" the question faltered into something resembling @ bleat. The man-handsome he was, with trace of weakness. with full. blue eyes and silky black hair-dropped his lip and stared.
 The woman gaZed intently at her husband, choosing her words.
 "We have been married ten years, Max and you have never had more than a fair salary. For five years we were only two, and everything was new, so our expenses were not large, but we saved nothing. Except for a few weeks when Dorsey came, I have done my own housework. Up to that time I spent about hundred dollars

1ng-scracely had been acquainted with her father, but now she reveled in the company of daddy" and trotted after him like frolicsome puppy. Her father enjoyed it, too, and Patience would hear their merry dialogue out side until bedtime.
 The inside of the house had its meta morphosis. Patience had the living room done over inexpensively in soft browns, and made the dining room, with its ivory enamel and blue walls, seem as though intended for the blue china inherited from her mother. Up stairs the rooms were freshened with white paint and fresh walls, and the house stood transformed.
 q want to tell you, Max" announced Patience, one evening, "that, now that the house is ready, and the lawn Is at its best, feel that it should be put on the market. There is really nothing to hinder my going now!"
 Max looked at her fixedly for mo- ment, then turned and left the room. She had scarcely time to wonder until he was back.
 "Here!" He held out the gilt let tered "Dressmaking" sign which for some time had been at the side en- trance.
 Maxwell, what do you mean?" she asked. Was this the easy-loving, h. different husband, who had been de- generating into a loafer, this decided man whose blue eyes flashed so darkly, and whose mouth was so firmly set?
 Ut means that, all the time you have been making over this house, you have been making me over, too, and that now I am ready to take the job off your hands ]"
 Patience, her hands clasped over her heart, did not speak. It was his hour and he should dominate 1t. He went on:
 "Every word you said that night was true-only had blamed every one else and excused myself. It has taken three months of hard work on your part to put me on the right track. l have not told you that I have been promoted twice since you brought me up standing!"
 He laughed tremulously in his ex- citement but mastered his voice.
 "Today they made me assistant man. ager in my department. Next year they are going to enlarge the company, and will take me in-they say they need a Britton in the f1rm-imagineW
 With single motion, he broke the sign and threw 1t on the table.
 "That's kindling wood, and nothing moreover! he declared masterfully. "From now on, for the rest of the year, you may use your needle for your own and Dorsey's frills. Next year you are to hire some one to do 1t for you. Pa tiencey his victorious voice took on a note of pleading 'your old shiftless husband is gone-forever Won't you give the new one trial? The resolute, self-controlled woman had disappeared, leaving behind sOb- ping creature who clung to Maxwell, trembling at his touch like maiden with her first love.
 "T hoped that if I showed you what our home might be, you would not let me destroy it," she sobbed; "every stroke that has gone to make it lovely has been for you-and Dorsey-and to keep us together!'
 The little home, dreaming cozily in its green setting, seemed to smile with happiness under the still moon. for 1t was safe.

Some Nomenclature.

A Baltimorean recently received a letter from a Pennsylvania town tell ing of the christening in that town of a baby in whom patriotism trium-
 phantly, if vicariously yelled when the name was announced as "Victory Un- cle Sam.' In this same family were two other children lowered with the names of "Italy" and Liberty" A friend to whom this story was told made a counter attack on wondering ears by telling of two unfortunate chil- dren in West Virginia, who, antedating the war and its triumphs, were given the names from adjacent localities of "McAfee's Knob" and "Jubel Doon." And yet even omniscient Shakespeare wanted 10 know what was in name.

a year on myself. Since then I have earned her clothes and mine with my needle-making clothes for the chil dren of the neighborhood." Injured innocence sat on Maxwell BrittOn's cOuntenance as he pulled himself erect.
 "A pretty trade! Just because, after working hard all day I took a little relaxation-on a free ticket too madame-I have to be raked over the cOals!" His indignation grew with speech. "Since this is my welcome will go back. and you may expect me when you see me!'
 Maxi" her voice was low but he turned at the door to listen. "T am speaking for your sake and my own and for Dorsey You have failed to make good with us-perhaps you can do better without us. I will not work any harder to support myself and her than have done heretofore, so have decided to take her and go for a year at least-the future depends upon you."
 The man leaned against the door, his face white.
 Do you mean It. Patty?' he whls- pered
 "I mean 1t, Max. and nothing can change me-"
 to yOu!"
 "True in the sense of relations with other women. but In the sense that you owe 1t to me and the children might bear you to make the most of yourself as citizen and as business man, you have been false"
 It was a strange collOquy. The man clustered. at times wept. pleaded scOlded but the woman's face scarcely changed its expression, and her voice was as unwavering as her purpose.
 '"The house is mine by deed of trust from my father. through Dorsey to me-" she told him. "T want nothing else Use your salary to further your own position and I will look after my self and Dorsey. I only ask a little time to get ready. I have been laying by some money, and will sew here until get the house ready for a tenant, and VII! ttHh !ptl t' htSl' O1 puSluS Slicl: bills as you have mot before. Then shall open parors in a downtown apartment and live there with Dorsey"
 From that time life was lived on peculiar terms in the bungalow on Park Heights. Maxwell was despond- ent but uncOmmunicative. Patience was calm, yet went about her work with sadly inscrutable eyes. There was a guarded, wistful friendliness be- tween the two, and shying off from each other, as though to avoid mention ing the situation.
 The painters and carpenters came and went, transforming the shabby house into charming freshness. Max well began regular work on the lawn, turning it's rough surface into green velvet, cutting dead sprouts from shrubs and trees and training vines. For years he had spent his evenings downtown on the plea that he needed relaxation.
 Now he never left the place except to go to his work, and in the long twi lights Patience, with the light hand work which she saved for evenings, took strange comfort in knowing that he was busy near her. Dorsey-the child's own contraction of the "DorO thy" which was given at her christen-
