Grandma Sampson ironed out
her beaming face to severity.
Don't you children act shy or

woman's mock severity and turned
to Peter with something sweet
and shy in her manner.

she smiled up at Peter.
Peter held out his hand. Trina

Then suddenly she drew It away.
And sedately the two disappeared
around the house.

Be that as it may, she accepted

and after a quiet wedding Bob
established her in the lovely old
home left him by his mother.
In order to have her mind oc-

and refurnish the place according
to the more modern ideas of his
young bride. She was a good wife
and Sargent's cup Of happiness
seemed filled to overflowing. Then
Donald Prather came back.
With characteristic directness
he asked Prather to call. Prather
accepted the invitation, but Sar.

Some women satisfy their love of variety by

or servants; but most simply by changing the
furniture around every day or so.
The old-fashioned lover said "Kiss me-or
