1t is mistake to think that good
home with ample accommodations for
an averaged-sized family cannot be
built without prohibitive outlay Of
capital. In fact, just the opposite con-
Hilton is the actual one.
And In urging the possibility Of home
building on limited means there is no
need, whatsoever, to let down the
standards and use shoddy materials or

Ice cream instead of the soup.
At the reception saw Father right
away, but he didn't see me for long
time. He stood In corner, and lots
of folks came up and spoke to him and
shook hands; and he bowed and smiled
but In between, when there wasn't
anybody noticing, he looked SO tired

She said this little dress was the
one she wore at the big reception
where she first met Father. And she
was so proud and happy when Father
and he was fine and splendid and
handsome then, too. she said-singled
her out, and just couldn't seem to stay
away from her minute all the eve
ming. And then four days later he
asked her to marry him; and she was
still more proud and happy.
And she said their married life, when
they started out, was just like that
beautiful dress, all shining and spot
less and perfect; but that 1t wasn't
two months before a little bit of tar
nish appeared, and then another and
another.
She said things went on worse and
worse-and 1t was all her fault. She
grew sour and cross and disagreeable.
She could see now that she did. But
she did not realize at all then what
she was doing. She was just thinking
of herself herself; her rights,
her wrongs, her hurt feelings, her
wants and wishes. She never once
thought that he had rights and
wrongs and hurt feelings, maybe.
She said lot more-oh, ever so
much more; but can't remember It
all. know that she went on to say
that by and by the tarnish began to
dim the brightness of my life, too;
and that was the worst of all, she
said-that innocent children should
suffer, and their young lives be spoiled
by the kind of living I'd had to have,
with this wretched makeshift Of d.
vided home. She began to cry again
then, and begged me to forgive her;
and cried and tried to tell her i didn't
mind it but, of course, I'm older now,
and know do mind 1t, though I'm try
ing just as hard as 1 can not to be
Mary when / ought to be Marie, or
I get all mixed up SO, lately, and
said so, and guess cried some more.
Mother jumped up then, and said,
"Tut, tut" what was-she thinking Of
to talk like this when 1t couldn't do
bit Of good, but only made matters
worse. And she said that only went to
prove how she was still keeping on
furnishing my happiness and bringing
tears to my bright eyes, when certain
ly nothing Of the whole wretched busi-
ness was my fault.
She thrust the dress back into the
trunk then, and shut the lid. And
she began to talk and laugh and tell
stories. and be gayer and jollier than
I'd seen her for ever so long. And
she was that way at dinner, too, until
Grandfather happened to mention the
reception tomorrow night, and ask II
she was going.
She flushed up red then, oh, 30 red
and said, Certainly not" Then she
added quick, with a funny little draw
ing-in Of her breath, that she should
let Marie go, though, with her Aunt
Hattie. It was the only chance Fa-7
ther would have to see me, and she
didn't feel that she had any right to
deprive him Of that privilege. and she
didn't think 1t would do me any harm
to be out this once late in the evening.
