TOday's Short Story

 For the first time she saw Norman really angry-and loved him for it.
 Even if she disapproved of you, do you suppose one instant she could in- fluence me?" he blazed. That I'd let any one, even my mother, come be- tween us?'
 Her answer was one of those irrele- want flashes so much a part of her charm because they kept him guessing, never knowing what she would say next.
 Worry, wish you'd been born twins Then your mother wouldn't ( mind your getting married so much"
 But mother wants me to marry. She's always said so."
 I've heard women whose existence was playing bridge say they didn't mind losing at cards" she twinkled, ''but I've yet to see one good loser"
 But although Madge refused to yield, it was decreed that she should not meet Norman's mother until she was Nor mans wife.
 For the day before Alma Blake was to start east she fell and broke her leg.
 Six weeks she lay on her back at a private sanitarium-for as many more she hobbled about on crutches. Bluff or no bluff, the visit to her sister Louise had to be indefinitely postponed.
 Meanwhile, their vacation over, the newly engaged pair left the summer re- sort where they had met and went back to their respective cities.
 They wrote every day, they telegraph ed, they special delivery lettered, but it became more and more impossible for them to live without each other.
 Then, click, the shears of fate cut in two the long six months engagement they had discreetly agreed on.

PosrMARK IS AN AID

Those who are disgusted by adver- tisements on income tax forms may comfort themselves with the reflection that in the matter of official publicity for private enterprises we are still lag gards in the race. Letters from Milan are at present arriving in Manchester with the stamps cancelled by . post mark the translation of which reads l:
 The "Corriere Italiona" is publishing Mata-Hari, a new novel by Guido Da Verona. /
 Alongside the square which contains this wording is the bust of slightly clad young woman, who is apparently the heroine of some eastern romance. The whole thing is certainly a most elaborate postmark-quite an illustrated article as compared with unimaginative advice like Post Early in the Day." But it looks as though some things the world conference of advertising men would be more appropriately held at Milan than Wembley.-M Manchester Guardian.

The Reu0It Of Susan Hyde
By CAROLYN sEEcHER

T MISSED June terribly. The day
 she left Anna and 1 drove way
 out into the country and didn't come back until dark. We had dinner at quaint little farmhouse, and the motherly woman insisted that Anna take her nap in the little white bed up in her daughters room under the caves. While she was sleeping I roam ed about the kitchen garden, picking an old-fashioned nosegay to take back to the hotel. When Anna wakened l paid the woman and we resumed our drive, not going back to the village until dusk.
 Here's a letter, ma'am," the maid said when we went in.
 It was from Manville. He said noth- ing of his aunt, nothing of his decision. But he wrote that he would be with me on Saturday. It was Wednesday. Three long days to wait. It seemed to me that I could not wait, that the hours would be endless while in such uncertainty. But somehow the time always goes, no matter whether we are happy or miserable.
 Anna and I rode. We took long walks through the country lanes. 1 never realized how much a city or town child missed until then. Instead of being led by the hand or pushed in her go-cart, she ran gayly along by her self, chasing the butterflies, running back to hide her face in my skirts if she saw a dog or a COW. Then, when safely past them, darting off again, laughing in her childish treble or call ing to me to hurry, not to "'alk so easy"
 What should have done during that time had she not been with me 1 cannot imagine. l never had cared for her, never been allowed to bathe and dress and fuss over her-only when I did it with locked doors. It was a delight to get up in the morning and bathe and dress her. Then, while l got ready she would dress her dollie-"Pet" she now called her--and the three of us would go down to breakfast. I had it served on the porch on pleasant mornings. It cost no more and was more private. I had tried having it in my room, but there was really no service in the little hotel to speak of and it had invariably been cold So I asked and received per mission to have it on the vine shaded porch. It was a cause of amending delight to Anna. I wondered how I should ever teach her to eat indoors after the free and easy way we lived.
 I had read everything Manville had sent me, so was delighted on the morn- ing after the receipt of his letter to receive another batch of late magazines and some newspapers. He had sent me enough reading to last until Sat urday. would keep so busy that I
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-27

would have no tune either to worry or to think. v
 On Friday Anna and I took another ride behind our ''git-ap horsie." I felt that something might happen it would be the last. If Manville had decided for his aunt should, with his permis. sion, leave at once for Los Angeles, the home of my sister Elsa. If he decided for me-here my thoughts would halt I would not allow myself to think he might do so. If he failed, the disap- pointment would be too great.
 We drove miles and miles without stopping. Then 1 selected a shady spot under a large tree where I spread a clean towel, and we lunched on the sandwiches and cake the .hotelkeeper's wife had done up for us. We had a quart bottle of milk, and after we had finished Anna took her nap lying on the grass, the linen dust robe under her, while I read one of the magazines Manville had sent. /
 When she awoke we had rather a pc culiar experience. While she slept a tiny stray kitten pushed it's way almost onto my lap. It had found a few crumbs of our feast and was hungrily looking about for more. There was a little milk left in the bottle, and started to give it to the poor starved little creature when the thought came that perhaps here was chance to teach Anna that all cats were not big black, horrible creatures which arched their backs and spat if one went near them. So I waited until she awoke, while the kitten, a white and maltese one, snuggled beside me.
 Mamma has a little baby kitten, I said when she rubbed her eyes and sat up blinking.
 "Kittie's is big" she shuddered.
 No. This is a little tiny baby kit tie. Shall mamma show you? It is a hungry kittie, too, and you can give it the milk we left in the bottle. Kit ties love milk almost as much as man. mas pet does." All the time I had been talking I had been quietly draw ing the kitten around where she could see it. Now she lay in my lap, dirty little thing, but so appealing.
 "'At isn't a kittie. Ats a rabbit" " she said as she looked fearlessly at it.
 No. dear, it is a kittie. Nice little kittie," and I gently stroked her back. Tt is gray and white, dear, just like the rabbits in our picture book, but it is a real baby kittie. Do you want to give her some milk?"
 'Is 'ou hungry, kittie:" she asked, putting out her little hand, which the kitten licked. Then in a great glee, with out the slightest fear, she gave her the milk and played with her until time to return. She insisted that we take her home in the buggy. wondered what Manville would think when he saw her playmate.

NLESS, perhaps, she might some
 time have home of her own.
 She smiled sadly at the idea There was not much chance that 8 nxBfic dancer would ever have the sort <of home to which she, as James Hor' tons daughter, had been accustomed She remembered now how she had called her fathers ideas old-fashioned. Per haps they were, but they were safe ideas. She longed for peace and safety
 However she must not let herself think on what could not be. Instead she must face the future, no matter what it held.
 i've got to play the game" she nut tered. And I mean to play 1t as fairly and squarely as I can. If l had brains I could do some work with my head instead of with my feet. As it is II can only dance. But dance must!"
 Her thoughts leaped ahead to New York. For an instant she had the frightened sensation that had assailed her so often during the past few days
 Then, all at once, she remembered Frederic Parker. He would be in New York. If he were only here now.
 Don't be a fool" she warRed her self.
 She would not think too much of this man and his kindness He had been interested in. her only because she was d good dancer. He was an artist, mak- ing a study of dances and dancers for a big picture he was painting. That might be one reason he had wanted her to come to New York. It would be more convenient for him to paint her in her various poses if she were there instead of in Fairtown.
 Even while she told herself this she did not really believe it. What she did believe was that Frederic Parker was the kindest manS she had ever known-except her father. And he hadj been sorry for her because she must earn her living at DeLisle's.
 Perhaps he had seen that she was mofe refined, better educated than one would expect a public dancer to be. This might have awakened his interest in her. Her art appealed to him, too. He had admitted as mucht
 Yet, after all, he was a cultured gen tleman, well-born and well-bred, with his own circle of friends. No matter what might be said, she was a public dancer, obliged to make her living by giving exhibitions at cabarets.
 She drew in her breath sharply. She must not let herself dislike her dancing. Once she had loved it. She must keep on liking it-since it was the work given her to do.
 She turned abruptly and walked back past the church where she had knelt such a short time ago. Looking up, she could see against the clear sky the outline of the cross on the steeple And, as she looked at it, sense of peace came to her.

remained for the wedding to be further delayed.
 When the news reached Alma Blake, still walking with cane, everything was too definitely settled for interfer- ence. Nor did she go on for the we'd ding. For Norman had arranged for stop-over visit at his home town and six weeks at a sanitarium had been an expensive luxury. Besides, there were now so many more important things to spend money on than an overland trip.
 If Norman had been coming home on visit alone it would have been differ ent. But the house-and herself-were both too disgracefully shabby for a new daughter-in-law's critical eye.
 So there was painting, papering, re- furnishing and house cleaning to the nth degree.
 By the time it was done Alma Blake was worn to frazsle.
 But the end was not yet. Shopping, dressmaking, the hair dresser's, the manicurists followed. If Norman was coming home on a visit alone, she reiterated with a. deep drawn, sharp-edged sigh, any old rag she might wear would do, but she wasn't going to have his wife look upon his mother as an old Trump.
 For she was fully aware what her new daughter-in-law's attitude would be. These modern girl wives thought they knew it all and considered moth- CTS hopeless back numbers. Constantly she would be under eyes critical, con demning-or, worse still, condescend- ing.
 And when the meeting took place she found her daughter-in-law exactly what she expected.
 Dressed in the extreme of extreme fashion, self-assertive, expressing an l opinion upon every subject under the sun, she talked necessarily, laughed incessantly-that forced mirthless laugh that Alma Blake hated.
 How could Norman have married her !! Did the poor boy already see his mis- take? Was that what was making him so quiet-that gave him that struck speeches. expression?
 For the love of Mike, mother" he suddenly exploded, his astonished eyes upon her marceled hair, her low-cut dinner gown, her chiffon-stockinged ankles, her high-heeled, pointed-toe slippers, what have you been doing to yourself H
 But after dinner, when his mother, fine musician, sat down at the piano and, instead of the expected Chopin
