Cooperative Organization.

In Atlanta, it is said, there lived a
happy young couple over whose lives
the dove of joy seemed to sit in eternal
watch. The husband earned a liveli-
hood as travelling salesman.
According to a regular plan, he
would leave home every Monday morn
ing. travelling from one point to an
other of his territory in a car. and ar
rive back. according to schedule, Sat
urday night.
One Saturday night he failed to re-
appear at the customary hour. His
wife waited an hour, two hours, three
hours, growing more and more uneasy
all the time. Then, on the long dis
tance, she called up a close friend of
the missing one, a gentleman living at
Marietta, Ga, some 80 miles away, and
inquired whether the truant had been
seen there.
Without a moments hesitation the
gentleman said: xOh, yes, Mrs. Will
son, you needn't be worried, Bills
here. He motored in about an hour
ago. all tired out-he had tire trouble
or something-and so made him go
to bed. He's in bed sound asleep now.
I was Just fixing to call you up and
tell you not to worry. He'll drive over
in the morning"
Mrs. Wilson thanked him and hung
up. But something in the informant's
voice made her dubious-in fact, made
her suspicious. The explanation had
been too prompt, too glib.
Womanlike, she took steps. She
rang up a second crony of Bills, who
lived in another town on his route
Griffin, Ga.,-and put the same ques-
tion. By marvellous coincidence she
got practically the same answer.
With a sorrowful cry the poor wom-
an gave way to weeping. Shortly
after midnight her husband arrived.
He inquired the reason for her tears.
She, in turn, insisted on knowing
where he had been all night.
He stated, with an air of truthful
ness, that his engine had stalled on
him in a lonely stretch Of road, which
accounted for his delay. He offered
to prove his assertion by three or more
reliable witnesses, all previously stran-
gers to him, and by the car itself.

With the rich blue-grounded percale
a peach -colored organdie undercurtain
would be charming. With the red
grounded percale red organdie
would be stunning.
In rooms furnished with French
provincial pieces 1t is customary to
use patterned fabrics in several de.

a screen covered with cream-grounded
