THE EVENING STORY

is a payback for countless similar
entertainments one mustn't be too
stingy. The plate was a little gem
and would make up for the simple.
ity Of the second prize-a calendar
containing 365 salad receipes-which
had been among her Christmas gifts
and which she had no use for. But
oh. how she hated to give it away!
Suppose the horrid Mrs. Bates should
get 1t! The more Anna Keeler looked
at it the more she wanted it.
1t was while she labored in these
throes Of temptation and covetousness
that an inspiring thought brought
joy. She ran to the telephone and
called a familiar wire. A response
came Immediately.
Myrtle! I'm going to say some
thing private to you-No fear; that
old Mrs. Bixby that I'm on the wire
with is gone this afternoon-I saw
her sail forth in all her elegance soon
after lunch. And it's Maud Brooks
listens in on you she won't tattle.
Myrtle, dear! ran across set of
plates at Kelley's this afternoon; I
wanted one for my first prize tonight,
but that old goat Of an Everson made
me take the entire six. Six dollars,
too! Well. there isn't another thing
I could find that would do for a first
prize, so I've got to put up the plate
of course. But. Myrt, here Is where
you come in. You're crackerjack
at pinochle. I don't know another
as good. You fight for the biggest
score and get the plate. And then
hand it over to me on the quiet, see?
I'll make 1t all right with you. I
simply can't have that set broken.
Will you, Myrtle? Oh, you angel"'
Mrs Keeler blew a kiss into the
telephone. How simple it was after
all! Myrtle Jackson would win the
plate, she could do 1t easily, and the
beautiful set would remain unim-
paired.
"I'll give Myrt that little faience
vase" she said. THAT will repay
her nicely. I've got too many vases,
anyway"
Mrs. Keeler was very happy over
the remainder of her preparations,
even to wrapping up the lovely plate,

4 a serve as a suitable first prize
for the progressive pinochle
party she was giving that evening.
She had half decided to take pow
der Jar in the new Italian pottery,
although she said to herself that not
one woman in ten would appreciate 1t,
when she saw plate that instantly
enchanted her. A plate that could be
used for anything must certainly
please; every woman loved fine china.
Ann pounced upon the dainty disk
with it's decoration Of gladioli, so ex-
quisitely touched up that no one
would dream of such a thing as a
transfer pattern.
This is just what I want" she
said to Mr.. Everson, the obliging
gray-haired salesman.
"Six dollars for the set-yes m. |"
said Mr.. Everson. Very fine ware.
You make no mistake in buying those,
Mrs. Keeler."
But I only want one" exclaimed
Mrs. Keeler.
Il am very sorry. But we can't
"Oh, dear" Mrs. Keeler's plump,
pink face darkened with disappoint-
ment. That's a shame. The only
thing I've found I want. must have
that plate, Joe Everson."
Mr.. Everson wiggled uncomfortably,
but continued firm.
I'm very sorry" he said. "If you'd
like the set II will make a reduc-
ton. You may have them for $50.
I'm sure you could find use for a few
extra plates"
Mrs. Keeler tapped her toe. Yes,
she could make use of them; she had
wanted some fine china for a good
while. And this was exquisite, and
cheap, too, when one considered the
beauty. Mrs. Keeler sighed and
opened her purse.
At home she placed the plates be-
fore her and studied each one sepa-
rately. If one showed a flaw she
would give that one away. But they
were perfect. 1t seemed a shame to
separate them. Still, when one gives
a pinochle party to ones friends that

and was so vivacious at dinner that
her husband complimented her.
When she had put on her new
azure crepe and powdered her nose
and squirted a bit Of perfume on
her carefully hot-pressed waves of
auburn hair she felt as At as the
conqueror who has nothing left to do
but count his spoils.
At s o'clock her guests were gath
ering with rustles and gales of light
talk and laughter. There was a mo-
ment's delay occasioned by the tardi-
ness of Eunice Crossley. who was
always late everywhere because she
had some one Of her half dozen chill
dren to sew up or spank or put to
bed. The only reason why Mrs.
Keeler had invited Eunice was be-
cause the little woman was her next
door neighbor and she couldn't help
It. The instant Eunice entered,
breathless and apologetic, the 16
women sat down at the card tables
and the game began.
From the start the party was q
peppy one. Mrs. Keeler did not play,
she circulated from table to table,
and occasionally she snapped an eye
at her faithful friend, the ford and
overwhelming Mrs. Jackson. There
was JOY All ACI ACdAI "AASh IAS eAS
moved up, and she took pains to be
nice even to little Eunice, who was
playing casually with constant ex-
cuses-"I'm dreadfully stupid, fought
to play more, but with six babies
and all my own work and"
Myrtle kept progressing regularly.
The dear old sport! Mrs. Keeler
loved her more than ever.
But also, that absurd little Eunice
Grossly kept progressing! Unac-
countably she was winning, game
after game. Her own surprise was
actual-"Must be my partners. 1t
surely can't be l." she murmured
over and over.
Then came the last game and the
last table and there sat Eunice
Grossly and Myrtle Jackson op'
posed! Myrtle was fianked by Envy
Winthrop, a good steady player,
while Eunice had Laura Peak. Oh.
well! Mrs. Keeler smiled at her CO.
conspirator and Myrtle winked back
as ruch as to say:
"It is all over but the shouting!'
But was it? Mrs. Keeler was re-
called from the kitchen whittier she
