a wonderful experience, but never expected to be able to do 1t myself or be with anyone on a shopping expedition who could buy upon inn pulse and be sure of not regretting it.
 Paula Perrier shopped today with an enjoyable abandon that was as- tonishing. Never in my widest dreams did think of woman buy ing stockings at $50 a pair. Never did think of paying $50 for rhine- stone shoe buckles to go with s25 pair of pumps.
 Hats, coats, sport suits, lingerie, evening clothes-Miss Perrier bought until l felt called upon to ask her if she had purchased nothing in New York.
 Lots of things" she answered with laugh. T expect I have a dozen trunks in the baggage car"
 Then she grew serious for mo- ment.
 You, of course, know" she con- fessed, that l have only had money enough to be eXtravagant for a short time, and l go on a mad orgy when l get among such beautiful clothes as they have here"

 Leslie, my husband, Dick, is the sweetest dearest person in all the world.
 have just read over the two sen tences have written above, and l think blushed. Anyway, I've got ten a nice warm feeling as though the blood had welled up from my heart to my brain a little faster than 1t has ever done in my heart before.
 This doesn't sound like the old sensible Bee, does it? Well, I'm not the old sensible Bee. I'm just blissfuly happy woman who has married the man she loves devotedly and found in him all the thoughtful ness and love she had expected.
 Today I'm thinking of all the oth- CT blissful brides, and hoping they are all as happy as I am. Yet, like all lovers, Dick and l have told each other many times since our mar riage that no one in all the world could ever have been as happy as we are.
 I was awfully sorry you could not be at my wedding. It seems A little ungrateful to be writing this paean of joy to you when you are at your fathers bedside fighting against the grim spectre. But oh, Leslie, l wanted to tell you all my happiness, for I remember when you were mar ried and you wrote me how happy you were, I could hardly imagine that what you said could be true.
 We arrived in Chicago yesterday evening, and although I have been here many times, even the smoky old buildings and the more or less dirty streets seem glorified 70 me. This morning Dick informed me he was going to be very busy with some moving picture magnates all day, and that Miss Perrier and ] would have to amuse ourselves. l called up her room and asked her what she wanted to do. She answered in 8 voice that was full of either sadness or sleep, 1 could not decide which, that she would like to go shopping When she said that I concluded 1t was sleep.
 We started in about an hour. l expect that you. my dear. being girl who has always known wealth and luxury know what it is to go Into a gorgeous shop where every thing Is found that a woman can possibly want to wear. and know that you can buy anything you want. I have never known this in reality. I have had dreams of huch

 Had my small hahy boy inherited the temperament Of his father and the inordinste admiration Of beauty whether of sky, of flowers or of women's fair faces, which had made Dicky so unstable?
 IL was Katherine who saved me from hetraying my secret feeling and forever after being bowed to the dust in humiliation, Katherine whose profession it has been for so long 10 watch for the danger sig nals thrown out by frayed nerves, saw her stoop 10 Marion's ear and then come swiftly down the steps, followed by Lillian's winsome young daughter,

 The moment Of my arrival with Nellie Faweett was no exception 10 the rule. The jealousy and mental dlstshanee Of my journey home vanished somewhere between the rate and porch. and t was with . mind nearer peace than l had dreamed possible that l turned ta the girl beside me. and said eoF- fiislly:

 She was looking around her with widespread interest. but she turned to mo instantly;

 The Winning of Junior
 'Tt is I who should thank you for che pretty speech" smiled. and then the door was thrown open tu- multuously. and Junior rushed out 90 fast that he would have tumbled down the steps Into an ignominious heap had not caught him in my arms. lonesome for the clutch of his tiny hands even though so short a time had elapsed since had sSen him.
 The door behind him appeared filled with heads. for Katherine and Marion, with Katie close behind them. were standing in 1t. and as Junior after kissing mo rapturously voiced his never-failing question. ''what did you bring me, Mama?" I saw all three pairs of eyes fixed fin amazement-and admiration upon the vision of youthful loveliness by my side.
 Mama, did you bring me little boy to play wif?"
 Juniors voice rose insistently, and there was threat of tears in it. Ever since the departure of his cousins, the Harrison children, Junior has mourned them, and es- pecially has he missed Roderick, the youngest of the four. Per sistently he has demanded ''another little boy"
 Wouldn't big girl do?"
 It was Mollie Fawcett's lifting voice that asked the question, and the next second she had gone down on her knees beside Junior, who, clinging to my skirts after had put him down, looked at her with the curious appraisement of child hood.

BOND MARKET STEADY
AFTER OPENING HOUR
Libertys React and Prices Soften
All Round, But Losses Are
Regainei.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 20.-Passage of
the bonus bill by the Senate over
the Presidents veto produced sur
prisingly little effect upon the bond
market. Directly at the opening
liberty of the longer maturities re-
acted substantially and there was a
softening of prices all around in the
investment list. BY noon the loss had
all been regained and the market
was steady.
What had happened was that bids
had been Withdrawn in many in
stances at the start of business until
it should appear just what the
market reaction would be. IT, was
soon discovered that there was still
a large demand for high-grade Sc
curities. While opinion as to the
long-range outlook was not unan-
imous the general feeling seemed to
be optimistic.
Third 4As Not Affected.
The early reaction in United States
government bonds did not affect
either the third AVS, the nearest ma
turity. in which the banks are chiefly
interested, nor the Treasury AIS. the

greatest possibility OF appreciation

at one time and the ST. Paul As of

ment, rallying later. International
Great Northern adjustments We're
lower but the 6S went up. Seaboard
Air Line adjustments were heavy and

part of Mondays gain, but the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas adjustments
were fairly firm. Among industrials
Pierce Arrow SIS were down a point
and Wickwire Spencer Steel Is lost

Foreign Issues Steady.
Foreign bonds were generally
steady. City of Copenhagen 5hs
were strong. French issues ignored
the weakness in the franc. Czecho-
slovak IS sold down to the issue

went above par.

ing was the s9,250. 900 Czechoslovak
