She took him just a little too Sc
siously while he stoop u there with
crowd of people in back him and
the minister in front of him and
mumbled those few words about
with all my worldly goods l thee
pndow."
Straightway she began taking In
ventory and it seemed she never
finished.
Under the head of worldly
goods she counted the little cubby-
holes of the old desk in the sitting
room whereat he loved to scrawl
bills for the little n%icknacks he
bought for himself, his letters from
home and his pockets.
He didn't care so much about
any of it except his pockets and the
letters. He couldn't get any real
pleasure out of standing in front of
a car full Of people and a brusque
conductor, searching the depths of
every pocket for a nickel and then
finding that he had none.
. He didn't have a charge account
with the street a company and it
wasn't always easy to find a friend
in the conveyance. Neither was the
conductor very cordial while he
waited.
And then it wasn't very interest,"
Ing to learn over the phone in the
afternoon that there was a letter
from his mother and that Nellie's
two babies had the whooping cough
and Fanny and Jim intended to get
married in the fall, while Henry was
planning to go to college.
- And have the letter handed to him
When he came home in the evening.
Here's your letter, honey-don't
you want to read it?" she'd gasp,
while he muttered something about
warmed owe stuff" and attacked
the steak, as though he hated it.
1t wasn't that there was anything
In his pockets that she shouldn't
see or anything in his letters that
she couldn't read.
But he missed the satisfaction of
knowing that at least his rights were
respected! And he missed the thrill
Of breaking the seal of the letter
himself and sitting there imagining
Fanny, that harum-scarum sister of
his, trotting up the aisle with Jim
and Of thinking of the things he'd
do for Henry while he was in col
iege.
1t was a good deal like stealing
his ice cream and handing him the
empty saucer!
And that his wife-of all people
should be the thief!

THE LOVE PENDULUM"
By MARION

I ran into debt"
Win hesitated.
well. I'm in debt now. 1t costs
to run about. But / like it, and I'll
get mother to send me some money
soon. I'll go home and see her-that
will please her."
But your own income from the
business"
II know. But somehow I always
manage to spend more thar l make.
1 have been working hard. l like
living high-hard work and harc
play. When I'm not at the office
l want to be on the go. / want to
have things happen. What's the use
of making money if one can't spend
it?"
1t sounded hopelessly like the old
days.
You don't seem very cheerful
over the prospect of rejoining your
husband" Win observed reaching
over the table for a pipe and Begin
ming to fill it.
you don't make the prospect
cheerful" 1 answered dolefully. ]
began to smooth out my gloves ner-
vously. You propose L come back
to you and then suggest we live lives
that are practically separate"
what do you propose then?" Win
lit the pipe with a match and threw
it among the other black matches
that Uttered the fireplace.
1T don't propose anything. I've al
ways wanted a little home and nice
friends, sincere people that l could
like and trust, and-well, books and
concerts and lots of things like that,
of course. but not sc much. I like
what they call home life, l suppose"
How dull you make it sound"
1 sat quiet for a moment. Then l
got up.
Its no use. Win. We are still at
opposite ends of the pole. You want
the sort of thing l can't stand, and |
want something that bores you to
for you had another engagement this
evening"
"A man to talk business, I'm glad
to be out of it. Don't go. After all,
we might try it. Connie. 1 do love
you. / know you think 1 don't. But
don't you see, l have to have life
and I like these people: You need
not ever see them"
I let my hand rest in his, looking
up into his face. into his clear gray
eyes, trying to look back behind
them into the warm soul hat used to
be Wins. 1 wondered where that
warm. lovely personality had gone.
I'VE would be just where we were
a year ago. 1t would be another
separation ana more talk. II you
feel a little more like looking at
things my way"
l turned, calmly enough, and
walked down the corridor to the
door. 1 dared not look back for Win.
1 opened the door and went out.

WATCH YOUR STEP!

Superstition has done its utmost
with the wedding day! 1t has given
every little movement, as it were, a
meaning.
Among some of the superstitions
are found the following:
When the bride goes from her
seat to the altar, the bridesmaids
must close up quickly over the
place where she sat, else the new
love will quickly cool.
The couple who make a mistake
and each start in separate ways
from the altar will part ere they
have journeyed long together.
Who speaks loudest in pledging
the VOWS will die first.
Who eve rises first from the
altar after the ceremony will die
first.
1t is an i'll omen to have at the
altar people of the same name as
those of either of the principals.
If a baby cries at the wedding it
is believed to mean that the love of
the couple is a one-sided affair:

Why Be Blind?
BY DIR. IL. III. BISHOP

Ninety per cent of the blindness in
this country is ~preventable. There
are about 5000 900 blind dependents
in the United States. About one-siXth
of these are blind on account of the
germ that gets into babies eyes at
birth through lack of proper precau-
tons.
When the eyes are washed imme-
diately after birth by the physician
or nurse, with a one per cent solu-
ton of silver nitrate, the danger of
eye infection and blindness is elimi-
mated.
The majority of the 100000 peo-
pie in this country, blind from other
causes. would now be enjoying good
sight if they had taken ordinary
common sense precautions. Serious
defects in vision, for instance, may
start from apparently simple infam-
nations OF the eyelids or the watery
membranes of the eyes.
Bloodshot eyes, inflamed eyelids
and styes are frequently found as
ISOLATED with ~ strain and even
caused by it.
Reading and studying should be
done under proper lighting, not
| bright enough to strain the eyes,, nor
yet too dim. The light should come
from above and behind, preferably
over the left shoulder SO as to facili-
| tate writing.
Wiping ones face on a common
roller towel is the source of many
dangerous eye diseases that are
catching. Diseases known as glau-
choma, trachoma and pink eye
are the commonest forms of such
ailments. Inflammation is generally
a first symptom of eye trouble and
should have the immediate attention
of a competent eye physician.
Often when one feels that he needs
glasses or treatment the question
arises whom to consult.
An oculist is a physician who
makes a specially of the eye.
An optician some. not a physician,
who deals in optical instruments
such as eyeglasses.
An optometrist is one, not a ply
stefan. trained to examine the eyes
as an optical instrument and de
termine it's optical defects. HI
should be competent to determine
such defects.
Among the common forms of eye
lefects that can usually be remedied
BY glasses are far-sightedness, near
sightedness and astigmatism.

Serve supper to John ameS

1t
Back in my room | settled on the
window seat and waited.
Pretty soon the lights of Philip
Ames' auto appeared at the hedge.
A slight figure, swathed in a heavily
fringed cloak, joined the man at the
wheel. And then the smart car
whirled down the hill.
They had gone-Lila Ames and
her brother-in-law.
And l felt somewhat to blame,
Perhaps if 1 had not bungled-
1t was nearly eight o'clock when l
remembered that l had not had din
ner and was hungry.
There was no m in the dining
room.
So I sought the kitchen and got to-
gether a lunch for myself.
Idling away the evening, / went 10
the library and sat in the unlighted
room, watching the play of automo-
bile lights en- the road outside.
At length I heard someone walk
ing slowly. pacing a few steps back
and forth, and muttering.
Damned insipid fool-damned in
sipid fool"
1t was John Ames' voice.
He was talking to himself about
himself. l wondered if he was i'll
or if perhaps he was just coming to
his senses IN regard to his wife.
Were you speaking. Mr.. Ames?'
I spoke outright.
"Oh!" he seemed startled, you
| Miss Sorensen?
"I think we must have startled
| each other-I had just come in n
did not know the room was occu-
pied" -,
"Why-a-have you had dinner?"
he questioned.
Eyes, haven't you?" 7 asked.
He hadn't-and he remarked on
the absence of the servants and the
general air of desertion about the
place.
I fastened to explain that there
had been a very early dinner and
the servants had probably taken ad-
vantage of that to go out for the
evening.
Again I sought the refrigerato. In
