B Borrowed Husbands
AMarried Life Story

After a moment, she turned to
him with an engaging smill.

Samaritan work.

She moved out of her corner and
nearer to him, looking up at him

you come up to the lake, you're
suddenly 'bowled over as you put
it, by a beautiful girl who has
had all the zest of life taken from
her by a husband who dominates
her and neglects her, who tells her
what to do and where to go, and
knows she will obey and leave him
free to carry on his own affairs"
He had begun to frown, so she
laid a coxing hand on/his overcoat
sleeve.

she could az least ruffle that mad

me about. Fleurette was born

The taxi deposited them in front
of a smart shop, where a small
page in uniform opened the door as
Nancy approached, and ushered her
into a long room of gray velvet
draperies and rose-silk shaded
lamps. A young woman in a cling
ing, graceful gown came forward
with the welcoming smile of the
proprietor.

XlTNIII-A PRETTY MODESTO
Wouldn't you like a breath Of

to stury shops for the afternoon?"
suggested Maj. Desmond to Nancy
as the car turned down the avenue,
she nodded. sinking back into the
cushions and closing her eyes,
snameIessly conscious that the pose
showed her fine lashes
He gave the order. and lounging
in the corner opposite, lit a ciga-
rette.
They rode in silence for many
blocks
Nancy. persistently avoiding his
gaze knew that he was studying
her. She could feel herself flush
ing; in fact, it became so evident
that she could see the color of her
own checks in her reflection in the
window behind the chauffeur's
back. The same reflection showed
her a charming vision of herself in
her trig. dark, soft furs and the
Parma violets.
Desmond's glance had followed
hers, and he smiled.
1T is unnecessary to tell you how
charging you look. You are an ap-

Nancy Clutched his arm exCitedly,
indicating the window toward the
uuisite coloring as that sky against
the water
He looked. 1t was the same sky
and the same lake which they had
been passing for the last fifteen
minutes.
He smiled grimly.
YOU. are very clever, Mrs. Bur

not offend again. Name your sub
ject and will discuss it. il it kills

Nancy risked patting his arm.
After all, he was very nice and
swfully docile. She felt a bit heady
with her own sense of power.
You're forgiven. But remember,

Treatment-for Burns.

exposure of the part to the air.
Shock is usually present to a very
marked degree.
The pain and shock should he

face has been burned, only a small
portion should be exposed and dres-

sticks to the burn, moisten it with
oil or water until it can be re-
moved without using force. Ex-

Eggs,arld!||,} & !

An Easter egg by any other name
would taste just as delicious, but the
world over the people are creatures
of habit, so at Easter and around
Easter only we have the chocolate and
jelly eggs.
The association of Easter and eggs
goes back to heather times, says one
authority.
at seems as IL the egg was thus dec
Grated for an Easter trophy, after the
days of modification and abstinence
were over and festivity had taken their
place, and as an emblem of the resur-
rection of life, as certified to US by the
resurrection from the regions of death
and the grave. Not only do we find
this record of the use of eggs among
the practices of the Egyptians, the an
cient Israelites and the early Chris
tians, but De Gobelin informs us that
the custom of using eggs at Easter
may be traced up not only to the the
ology of the people of Egypt, but to
the theology and philosophy of the Per-
SLAMS, the Gauls, the Greeks and the
Romans, all of whom regarded the egg
as an emblem of the universe and the
work of the Supreme Divinity"
The Christians have used eggs on
of future life, symbolic of the resur-
rection. Painted or ornamented eggs
have become in many lands an Easter
institution.
AS for the bunny, the chicken and
the kewpie, they all play their part in
modern Easter gifts. The bunny or
hare owes its popularity to the be-
lief of the German children that it Is
the hare who lays the eggs on Easter
day.
Easter always brings a profusion of
flowers, with the lily the most popular
of all. "In the beauty of the lilies,
Christ was born" has an additional
meaning when one sees lilies on every
side. The fact that Philadelphia
introduced the Bermuda lily to this
country adds more interest to this
ever-interesting subject. In 1880, so
the story runs, young man from the
Bermudas was visiting in that city,
and upon seeing lily, exclaimed: "Oh,
there is our lily" However, upon
close examination he found that 1t
was not a Bermuda lily. This Incl
dent led to Philadelphia florist visit
ing Bermuda in 1881 and bringing the
bulbs to this country. We all know
its popularity. No wonder, for it is
superior to both the Chinese and
Egyptian Cor calla); it is surer
bloomer and more profuse; it also has
a greater fragrance.
Now the lily industry in the United
States is thriving. Millions upon mil
lions are grown from Florida to Cali
fornia. In these climes they are grown
under glass, in fact veritable lily
king plants a half a million bulbs this
way.
But in enthusiasm for the lily, the
rhododendron, the aZalea, the spirea,
tulip, hyacinth, daffodil, narcissus,
ferns and the many others must not
be forgot nor their charms overlooked.

Odd Things
HappenKatI
E,aste1|fssFllnIe

There are many little tragedies
which happen at Easter time. Some
of them are not without their humor-
Gus side. Right on your very street,
possibly in the house next door, there
is something going on which is tragic
to the person it happens TO, and hui
morous to those who do not suffer
by II.
Take little Jack or little Mary. for
instance. Well, We'll take little Mary.
She gets an all-chocolate Easter bunny.
All day long you'll long for piece of
that bunny-grown-up call them rab-
bits--and all day long Mary'll hold
it in her hand. Not that she is wise
to the fact that we want piece OF
chocolate, but just because the bunny
is fascinating. By the end of the day
Mary has no rabbit. Goodness, no!
Nobody took the rabbit from Mary.
She still has the chocolate-every bit
of it-out the rabbit? Well, he just
melted away into an unrecognizable
solid mass.
Fourteen -year-old brother has ideas
of his own about how Easter should be
spent. certain young lady-thir-
teen years of age-is the apple of
brothers eye, and it is only natural
and fitting for a young man about to
venture on the sea of love that he
should have a certain kind of necktie
and low shoes. Easter blooms forth
In all its splendor and brother ven
lures forth to meet his lady fair. But
lot He figured on her liking his plain
blue tie, and all the time she likes the
regimental stripe tie worn by little
Willie Green, and proves her liking by
taking her Easter stroll with Willie,
and not brother.
Three weeks before Easter, just
when the Easter bonnet makes its ap-
pearance in the hat shops, mother
rushes downtown to get herself hat.
And for three weeks mother is on pins
and needles waiting for Easter day to
arrive. And when Easter does arrive
she is on more pins and needles walt
ing for / O'Clock to strike so that she
can spring a spring hat surprise on
father. OF course, father and mother
20 to church on Sunday and she'll wear
the hat. She thinks her pale green
turban a little bit frisky. Father not
,nly approves of mothers thoughts In
words. but also thinks other things
which will not be put in words.
Grandma also suffered some little
tragedies. Pardon the comparison, but
church services to grandma are the
same us a good personality to poll
tician or a fortune to a miser. And
Easter services are always little out
of the ordinary. You know, special
decorations and all that. But grand
mother is disappointed with the serv-
ices this year. The young man who
sonr the hymns this year did not do
nearly as well-thanks to her memory
as the young man who sang the very
same hymn 20 years ago. And the

And the glad martial moving of thousands

That the mischievous old March, ancient
yet new,
Had come TO the city, TO me and TO you.
And the seed of his sowing had wakened

In the hearts and the souls of millions
of men:
I knew by the look in the eyes OF the old.
That the grass of His growing had COW
