At Any Cost


 It was Buck who broke the silence You couldn't suit me better" sigh- ed Buck devoutly. Things have been at siXes and sevens, and I've been able to make head or tail of none of them. I'd rather know the worst and have done with 1t. And the beginning is Uncle Charley's friendship for my supposed wife"
 Uncle CharIey's eyes ran the gamut of faces about the room. He faced Thelma, his voice pleading

THE HISTORY OF ME BY ME I Just Can't Make My Eyes Behave

"Sockums you adorable rascal! You have been making eyes at your father and you haven't been straight about it. What do you mean by such doings?
 My doctor looked at me laughingIy.
 Your daddy just buttonholed me in the hall and in the most tragic voice he wants to know if you are go- ing to be cross-eyed. He says sev- era1 times he has noticed that you look perfectlyl, awfully cross-eyed. Now tell me. what do you mean by such doings?''
 "Dockie, you old dear" I burb1ed, 'between you and me, we know that I have very little control of my eye muscles as yet, and the fact of the matter is I don't see straight yet, all though all of the folks insist I see them and know them perrectly! But I don't, not yet. I will prob ably be able to recognize objects at six or eight weeks and when I am a ] real old fellow of three months, then I shall be able to recognize people. 1 Isn't that so?'

She is not one to stand on her rights or to demand recognition The mere fact that she stood aIoof waiting to be permitted to resume her chair and her position as head of the office told me that she felt it vital to express once and for all to our visitor her authority.
 Loyalty to Jim demanded that I decide at once by which of the Wom- en intend to stand. I felt compelled to make my choice promptly, fully knowing l would have to abide by that choice.
 Perhaps it is inevitable that I should have been swayed by my per- sonal reactions my own liking for Mabel. But there was another factor. When a woman of Car1otta Sturges' breadth of vision, bigness of soul and l business experience, takes as ardent a dislike to casual acquaintance as | Carlotta had expressed for Rosa. Cor | doVa, then it's not a bad idea to pe- l ware.
 I patted the chair next to mine fn- vitingly and said again to the little | insurgent in Jim's place:
 l Aren't you coming to sit next tc me, Mrs. Cardova?''
 Meeting my eyes with a glance ot contemptuous amusement, she slid little girl fashion-out of the chafr which didn't permit her feet to touct the floor. Then, smoothing her dres: | about her trim, but slightly rounded figure, Mrs. Cordova sauntered to my | side.

 There was no mistaking the mes sage of Mabel Storrs' eyes. It. was pleading.
 My Goddess of Liberty Girl had found a situation with which her cool efficiency couldn't cope. I had an in stinctive recognition of just what the situation must be. That it was based on a triffe I could perceive. But triffes may be tremendous. I turned to Rosa Cordova with a suavity I'd scarcely known I possess ell:
 Good morning. stranger!" I said graveliy, yet with an effort at cour- | tesy.
 MabePs lips twitched. Mrs Cor dova smiled and continued to turn | the leaves of the ledger at which she ! never once glanced. She had a re- | proachful air of being extremely busy while we loafed on the job.
 You are an early bird,'' I went on. But I've done a days work at my own office. And I'll wager my friend Miss Storrs has already planned a weeks campaign in that efficient | brain of hers. I might as well con- | fess, Mrs. Cordova, when first I dis | covered that my husband had gone | off leaving someone else monarch of all she surveyed here, I was envious But now I am ready to acknowledge that he knew just what he was doing l when he put Miss Storrs in full | charge of his affairs here in the home | office"
 | Mrs. Cordova raised her brows and continued to make an elaborate show | of saying nothing. Her smart little | turban of red peoples, her dainty biege colored dress with collar and cuffs embroidered in scarlet-even the impudent little slippers which didn't touch the f1oor-had an air of super the simple garments Mabel and wore. Feeling determined, but with a cool mist of awkwardness begin. ming to swathe me, I went on:

 ''Then''-I hesitated, and makin; one quiet effort brought out the word which I felt were bound to precipitat, matters. Then, let's ask the chair man, Miss Storrs, to call the meetin, to order. Won't you take the chair Mabe1?"

 The hair, then, is shampooed ana died. then a second attendant appears with a small box containing an as sortnent of what look like odds ana ends of small tools- These are the metal curlers, some of them are small nieces of aluminium, the thickness or a lead pencil and three or four inches long. Some of them are six inches long and hollow and about the shape

 The attendant now separate the hair into small, thin strands; each strand is tied as close to the scalp as possible with a bit of string about 12 inches long. Then a metal curler 1 is fastened to the hair by slipping l the ends of the string between the l nrongs Each strand of hair then is rolled tightly around the curfer ana | the ends are wrapped in bit or
