"ARTIE"
By DORA NOLAN


 iG. 1s2s. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate3
 When Sarah Molthorpe married Ar thur Allen she changed the style of doing" her hair. Grandmother Mol thorpe disapproved. Sarah" she said In her precise, mild way, your hair was very becoming parted in the mid de as you have always worn it. Now that you nave changed the parting so far to one side 1t gives you a very un- balanced appearance. And have no- ticed in my long life" she added whimsically. "that exterior looks ex- srt pronounced influence on one's mental processes" To which Sarah answered one word: Nonsense"
 Two months later Grandma Mol thorpe again spoke to her favorite grandchild on the same subject: "Sa- rah," she said gently, but decidedly. "you are giving too much time to your house and not enough to Arthur. Part your hair in the middle again, child. It will give you a more bal anced set of values" Sarah shut her mouth tight on some words she would have spoken had this repeated advice come from anyone but her beloved grannie.
 It was directly after supper that night that Arthur proposed to his wife that she accompany him over to the Sykes house next door. 'I hate to miss day day, dear. The poor fellow looks forward so much to my visits It's no joke to be confined to one room so many months, you know, and I've made so many excuses to Mrs. Sykes on your account" he pleaded i; do come along this time."
 "Its not necessary for you to make any at all," Sarah answered. You know what I think of that woman what every one around here thinks. She's altogether too free-and-easy in her manner and in her dress. Anyway, it's impossible for me to go now. l never leave my supper dishes. you know"
 That this was thinly yelled ac- cusation of Mrs. Sykes housekeeping methods Arthur knew. "Yes, l know

vou never leave anything you may want to do on my account" With tbesa words Sarah's husband slammed tbe kitchen door behind him.
 For moment Sarah felt stunned. r+ was the first time Arthur had ever spoken grossly to her. Then sne thought even harsher things or hor next-door neighbor, who had only recentlv moved into the village. A married woman who wore her halr hnhhed and went on the street dressed as Mrs. Sykes did was capable or any thing m sarah decided. Could Grand ,sa Moltborpcs words have carried a hidden meaning? Were they intenaee'

as a yelled warning? Was rhe inva- Id the only attraction next door? Tn spite of her queer dress. Mrs. Sykes was pretty. Here Sarah's thoughts were interrupted by the sharp ringing of the telphone bell.
 It was an nt-of-town call. Mr. All len was wanted Sarah ran nut to the edge of her lawn and called. There was no answer. She went farther to the foot of the Sykes front steps and was about to repeat her call from there. But she dldnf. And This is why: Through the screen door came the soft contralto voice of Mrs. Sykes: "Oh, Artle, dear you don't know how heavenly 1t is just to sit in your lap awhile and feel your com forting arms"
 It was enough. Sarah paused to listen no longer. Even ignoring the receiver left off the hook, she ran straight down the street to Grandma Molthorpe. That wise old lady lis tened silently. stroking the one-sided part in her favorite grandchild's hair meanwhile.
 My dear" Grandma Molthorpe spoke in her usual gentle voice, "you stay right here. will go and see what all this is about" Sarah didn't remonstrate, just buried her head g little deeper in the sofa cushion and waited All her life she had gone to Grandma Molthorpe when in trou- ble, and she had never failed her yet. \
 It seemed hours since grandma's cane had tapped down the front walk, but in reality only short time had elapsed, when Sarah again heard the familiar sound. When the old lady entered the room her expression was noncOmmittal
 Nov. child" she said, 'go upstairs and comb your hair over Part it straight in the middle. Then I will have something to tell you" Wonder ing, but knowing well that when her grandmother used that tone she ex- pected to be obeyed. Sarah went. Grandma looked surprisingly at Sarah when the latter returned. "It's much more becoming that way, child. You must go over and call on the woman tomorrow. Sarah. She's a fascinating little thing, as unconven- tional as she looks"
 But, grandma!" Sarah broke in be- wildered. q heard her say it, I tell you. Where is Arthur"
 "Still up visiting with MT. Sykes when I left. dear. He doesn't know anything about your coming down here"
 "What-" but Sarah got no further.
 Don't interrupt your elders; it's bad manners" continued Grandma Molthorpe. Mrs. Sykes has an anus ing way of naming her furniture after the persons who gave it to her. They have only a tiny income, and she sold most of their household goods to pay Mr. Sykes hospital bill. So when her physician advised her to take her huS- 
 band to the country, their friends gave them enough things to start in on again. Now, tonight, just as you went over, she sat down, after particular ly hard day, in big easy chair given by an old chum of MT. Sykes, whom they affectionately call 'Artie.' She was talking to it, not to your Ar thur"
 Grandma Molthorpe laughed so in- fectiously that Sarah joined in against her will. 'Now, run along home, child, and take a notional old wom- ans advice. Never judge person before you know him. Be chum to your husband-not merely his house. keeper. And part your hair in the middle, child; it's much more be- coming"
