Cured to him that 1t would be a good
idea to ask her If there was anything
else that she would rather have so long
as he was preparing to buy her rather
expensive present"
land did she say she wanted a wash
ing machine instead of jewelry?" in
CURED Mrs. Hooper excitedly.
Knocked her husband silly, as he ex-
pressed it himself, by saying that she
had all the Jewelry she expected to wear
for the rest of her life" laughed Henry,
and there was nothing she would rather
have than a washing machine like ours.
"And is he going to get It for her?'
inquired Mrs. Hooper eagerly.
HE says while It isn't his idea Of a
present she can certainly have it IL that
is what she wants most" replied Henry.
"Did he say it was her birthday o. rr
anniversary or anything?" inquired Mrs.
Hooper with interest.
'No he simply remarked that he
wanted to make her a present and that
he had decided 1t must be something
out Of the ordinary and rather expen-
sive," laughed Henry again, that is
why he was so foored when she asked
for q washing machine"
81 expect 1t was a peace offering he
had In mind" remarked Mrs. Hooper.
And Of course a washing machine
would seem a rather absurd present In
that case"
"A peace ofreringr eclaimed Henry in
bewilderment. "Those two young
things haven't been quarreling have
they? Why I thought they were ire
mendously in love with each other"
'They are" said Mrs. Hooper, but
they probably had a little misunder-
standing like all people do at times. It's
all patched up though If he is buying her
a present"
ooh. I don't believe they had a quar-
rel" objected Henry, '1t was probably
because she was going south for the trip
you spoke Of"
But she isn't going South now" Mrs.
Hooper informed him as she held a
needle up to the light and threaded it."
We'll at least I'm glad to hear that, d"
announced Henry with feeling, because
It worried me to think you might decide
to let her take Betty with her Instead of
going yourself"
''oh shouldn't have sent Betty feeling
as do that 1t isn't absolutely neces-
sary," replied Mrs. Hooper. "She is really
improving very nicely now and next week
intend to bring her downstairs by the
living room fFe for a few hours every
day. 1t will give her little change. now
that her strength Is beginning to come
back"
every time think how near we came
TO losing her." said Henry with a shud-
der. at makes my head swim"
We'll We have that wonderful little
Bride to thank for much" replied Mrs.
Hooper with feeling. But the thing that
makes me SILVER now is the thought of
the Doctors bill. 1 do wish he would
send It SO that my anxiety would be
over. I've been expecting II in every
mail since the first Of the month"
II wonder how much It will be-"
unused Henry. We've been so fortunate
as far as our health is concerned that
this Is the first doctors bill Of conse-
quence that we have ever had"
