CHAPTER XXXVI
Jessica Does Some Thinking.

At luncheon Jessica was as cool and
composed as IL there had been no
passionate love scene on the bank of
the stream that morning. AS a matter
Of fact, however. she was not SO COM
posed as she seemed.
Upon their arrival at the cabin she
had gone to her room. Once there
she had powdered her face and applied
rouge and lip-stick. No mere man can
ever realize what a judicious use OF
makeup does to the average woman.
1t supplies her with a mask under
which she feels she may hide. And
certainly Jessica was no exception.
But for all of her careful manipula-
ton with powder puff and lip-stick.
she was slightly disconnected.
Jessica was not without experience
of a kind.
The word "petting" she used, but
had never quite liked. In a sense it
offended her. There was something
cheaply vulgar about It, She had flung
the word at Mark merely to hide her
real feelings, and yet as she faced
this thought in her mind, she didn't
know exactly just what her real feel
ings were.
Jessica had been kissed.
Other men had paid her assiduous
attentions long before Ray had en-
tered her life. She had looked upon
kissing as a pleasant pastime when it
was not accompanied by anything
serious. OF course, since. her engage

and she had accepted his kisses be.

ent. For lack of better word, she
used the word ''frenzied" to describe
them. But that wasn't right either.
In her heart of hearts she regretted
the fact that she had accused him cf
'petting." Somehow it sounded silly
and flapperish. And yet it had been
necessary for her to do something. He

were no hunger in this world it would,
indeed, be a world OF brotherly love.
When Peter Rabbit popped out Of
the old home of Johnny Chuck in the
far corner Of the Old Orchard he saw
q queer procession. 1t consisted Of
Jimmy Skunk, Mrs. Jimmy and six
fully grown children. One behind an.
other they were ambling along over
the snow up through the Old Orchard
toward Farmer Browns dooryard.
Peter Rabbit was so interested that he
forgot he was hungry. Curiosity took
the place Of hunger.
Where can those Skunks be 60
ing?" muttered Peter. They act just
and as II they are going there with a
purpose. 1t must be they know where
there Is something to eat and they
are going straight there"
At a safe distance Peter followed
along behind. He kept close to the
Old Stone Wall for safety's sake.
None of Jimmy's family looked behind.
Such a sight as they made, even in the
dusk. One was nearly all white, one
was nearly all black, one had a great
broad stripe down the middle of the
back, one had a double stripe, and
each presented a picture Of perfect in
dependence. Peter sighed as he looked
lat them. II don't exactly want to be
"a Skunk" thought Peter. but
should like to know what independ
ence Of that kind is like"
Straight to Farmer Browns door
rard Jimmy led the way. When he
cached the dooryard he didn't pause.
he led the way right straight across

fellows at the office that ] had invited.
And we got the table ready to play,
because the last two boys would he
along pretty soon, and was hoping
the building would catch fire or we
would be raided or something would
stop the party before they found out
my wife wouldn't let me give them
a drink. And the door bell rang again
and I thought. 1T will all have to
come out now, because it is time to
suggest a drink when everybody has
arrived" and 1 opened the door again.
Well. there were the last two fell
lows, looking more unhappy than
felt even, which / would have thought
impossible until / saw them. and the
reason was that their wives were with
them, which, of course, Is plenty of
reason at a. poker game.
Well, the two women breezed in and
one of them said to Joan, IT told my
husband I was just coming along and
keep you company this evening" and
the other said, And she called me
up and told me and told my husband
that l was coming, too, and we do
hope you don't mind" and Joan didn't.
But the two husbands were looking
so sad and apologize that I felt so
sorry for them that l almost forgot
my own sorrow.
So Joan was taking the womens
coats and all the other fellows were
trying to look as IL they not only
didn't mind the women being there
but were real happy about it, and
the two poor husba nds dragged me
into a corner and | thought they were
going TO apologize and I said: II un-
derstand. It's all right" And one of
them said: THAT amt the half of it.
II you bring out a drink my wife will
start a riot" And the other one said,
MY wife will start two riots" and
said, well. -" and they said.
You've got to stand by us" and ]
thought fast and l said, We'll, it
puts me in kind of embarrassing
position before the other fellows, but
you explain ii to them while | get out
some cigars and I guess it will have
to be all right" and they did; and for
all anybody knew. I had barrel of
pre-war Scotch waiting for them, and
so my reputation is saved and it didn't
hurt the two fellows regulations, be-
cause the other boys were SO sorry
for them. And ! lost $21.40, but 1

mad lost my reputation / could not

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, February Is.

Threatening stars appear to rule
on this Sabbath day, which should be
passed quietly.
They who write letters under this
direction of the stars may regret the
effort unless they are unCOmmOnly
cautious in expressing opinions.
Rumors of war probably will pre-
vail while this configuration prevails
and preparedness will be advocated
more than ever.
Old folk may be unreasonable, gar
rulous and altogether trying under
this sway.
Farmers and jewellers in small COM
munities may be exceedingly difficult
to deal with while this rule continues.
Food will now come much to the
front and diet will be u subject OF
paramount interest.
A forgery of international scope Is
forecast for the early Spring, and
there may be many crimes committed
to obtain money.
Women should be especially careful
not to transgress the laws In any di-
rcction, for they are subject to a rule
making for daring and dishonest prac-
tees.
Music is still subject to the best
influences making for new demands
for it and increased returns for ar
fists.
Persons whose birth date 1t is
should be especially careful to safe
guard property and money in the
coming year.
Children born on that day have the
augury of success through things that
appeal to women. dress. Jewels and
amusements.

SUB ROSA
Marie's Mistake

Marie worried fearfully about her
popularity. She took it all very seri-
ously from the first moment she
started to go out.
She told her friends confidentially
that the one thing in the world she
wanted was To have a dozen boys
crazy over her at once.
She wasn't a natural born belle.
She had to work for her popularity.
And having attained what she consid-
cred a reasonable amount of success,
she bitterly resented any ones at
tempt to wrest the crown from her.
Eagerly, she watched the new girls
-jealously she counted up their con-
quests-furiously she fought when
they showed signs of poaching on her
preserves.
When Peggy came bursting into
town Marie shuddered with fear.
Peggy had. everything necessary to
make a really popular girl and Marie
was clever enough to scent very
dangerous rival.
She was also clever enough to
make friends with Peggy Immediately.
She determined that any success the
new girl might have would rebound
to r-Marie's-credit
After becoming chummy with the
bright-eyed newcomer, she began to
make parties of four.
Hello, Jim," she called her special
standby one morning. Twill you
bring Rod up for the evening? I've
got a new girl to meet him-awfully
sweet kid. You 1e sure to fell him. -
"Good-looking?" Jim asked. Marie
stiffened. Jim was always so much
interested in good-looking girls. She
wasn't going to lose him. Yet she
knew it was bad policy to knock
other women.
shes stunning" she admitted. 1t
was. she reflected, good dope to praise
the rival-made hit with the boys.
But" she added playfully, don't
you dare to fall for her. i warn you
l shall be furious If you stop rushing
me because of this new queen
More of the same sort of converse
tion-and Jim hung up with the def
mite conviction that he was about to
meet a worldbeating little vamp.
Being a normal youth, with no
great love FOR any one girl, the pros
pect pleased him.
Marie had taken pains to speak well
Of the other girl-but she hadn't
taken pains not to make her sound
too dangerous.
She should simply have announced
| that Peggy was attractive. It would
have been useless for her to have
tried to be catty.
But she needed't have warned the
boy friend away. She shouldn't have
held the threat over his head
shouldn't have tried to coax him into
promising he wouldn't like the new
girl better than her.
That fred his imagination, gave
him something to look forward to,
made him await his meeting with
Peggy with eager anticipation.
Marie had, by her desperate efforts
to hold her man, gone a step too far.
Praise the deadly rival. but don't
give her too much publicity.
Mimi will be glad to answer any in

Business Sold. Must Empioye
Under Contract Work
for New Gunner?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

When Thomas Hennesy was ap-
preached by Smith & Jones, whole
sale hardware dealers, who offered
him a position. he stipulated that he
would accept if they save him two
year contract.
Being a valuable man, Hennesy
was given the contract.
For a year Hennesy worked faith
fully for his employers, and would
have done SO for another year, but
when he arrived at the office one
morning his employers informed him
that they We're going out of business
and that hereafter Mark & Bow were
the new owners.
Hennesy protested to Smith e.
Jones, reminding them of their con-
tract to employ him for two years.
"Oh. that's all right" they replied
Mark & Bow want you; they have
agreed to take over the contract
Il won't work for Mark & Bow"
rejoined Hennesy. II am going to
look to you to fulfill your agreement
with me-"
Smith and Jones laughed at his
threat, but soon they found them
selves obliged to defend the suit that
Hennesy had brought against them
The court held Smith & Jones liable,
saying:
The contract was for personal
services. Such contracts are not as
signable. for it may make all the
difference in the world to a serving
man who his master is.
Not only may there be an impor.
tant element Of choice in the respect
Of master whose orders he must
obey and whose temper lie must ac-
commodate. but there may be like
element in respect 10 solvency, diff
ferences in the work TO be done. and
in many other matters which might
be suggested. A man has a right to
choose his own employer"

lined with silk crepe. Rather heavy,

There are charming black or gregg

the evening frock and may be worn
now as one would wear a shawl. Some
of the French dressmakers are making
many of these lace capes for evening
and usually they are embellished with
