Iessening the Drudgery.

A prominent woman occupying
a public office has recently said
that one of the principal reasons Of
woman's unhappiness in her home
is the old bugbear of 'dishwash-
ing" There are few, if any, jobs
in life that do not involve more or
less drudgery and dishwashing
may come under this head, al
though many wives do not consider
it as such. The way to tighten our
burdens in this direction is to use
our brains to make it as pleasant
as possible and as easy. Always
soak or rinse the dishes before
washing. Leave the dinner dishes

Lily had no inhibitions regarding

YOU. Sacrificing for some people just

Lily guessed the sincerity of the
wish. even under the Jest, but she
laughed At him. We'll, I'll say he's

In his minds eye Stephen visual
ICED that evening. He remembered
the beautiful Truman dining room,
dignified and shadowy and satisfying.
Constance Truman would look very
lovely. She would sit at the head of
her fathers table, and there would
be coffee afterward in the library.
It was another world from Stephens,
and yet he was not i'll at ease. He
believed in his heart he belonged.
Tomorrow and tomorrow passed
slowly for Lily. At last it was Thurs
day. She had been busy all day, and
she was glad OF the absorption. Each
time she looked at the clock more
minutes hal slid by than she had be-
lieved possible. She was happy. hap
py all out Of proportion to the cause.
Tonight she could not even envy Con-
stance Truman. She was glad she
was Lily Sedeimeyer and glad she
was in love.
At $50 it seemed as if the hands
of the clock would never drag around
that last half hour, and still it was
pleasant just to anticipate. to sit
motionIess and watch the twilight
deepen, watch the thousand lights OF
the city flash one by one into the
darkness. 1t was good to be alive.
A r six o'clock the telephone on her
desk tinkled family, and Lily
lifted the receiver. "Mr. Douglas"
came the question. 1t was Constance
Truman's voice. On the extension in
the outer office Stephen answered. The
call was not for Lily. She was caves

the slate-colured eyes that stared
back at her.

she put on the new georgette that
was destined only to be worn for

too. she bought three pink rosebuds.
They were ridiculously expensive,
and they would fade before evening,

the whole game of local politics. and
the greHt man who pulled the strings
