Ordinarily she would have smiled at
the sight of him asleep so, but now she
scowled. For the third time that day
she had been treated to evidence of his
thoughtlessness and reconsideration.
She had borne all she could.
Leave him? She was almost angry
enough to, and, indeed, women had left
husbands for less. No. she would not
do that. What should she do? She
went back to the living room to pom

ried life.
AS she sat with her cheek on her
hand, wiping away tears, she heard a
sound, and there was Grant in the
doorway, looking at her in surprise.
Whats the matter?" He came to her
quickly, knelt down and took her in
his arms. His cheek pressed hers.

she knew him to be? She drew long
breath and let him kiss her tears away.

Edith's lips set tightly. Grant was
! careless; more than that, he was in
| considerate. She laid the journals
| straight, flung the burned match into
the fireplace and brushed up the
| ashes. His lack Of thought had made
these three acts necessary and he
could so easily have saved her. She
was tired, but what was the use in
doing things over and over?
She would speak to him about it
and she went out to the garden for
that purpose, He saw her coming,
wiped his face and greeted her with
a shout.
Come right along, honey: I want
to show YOU the prettiest sight you
ever saw" He pointed to a long row
of family green things springing from
the earth. 1t was a pretty sight, and
when he put his arm about her she
had to smile and tell him so.
In the end she had forgotten to scold
and skipped back indoors to iron her
embroidered linen. No easy task to
iron white embroidered linen, but she
needed the dress for that evening.
Mrs. Hume was giving a small party

all the young folks of the neighborhood
were invited.
Edith's iron was electric and smooth
as glass, the starch did not stick and
the linen was just nicely damp. She
loved to iron and she began to sing
little.
The dress came out beautifully glow
ing. She arranged it on a hanger and
hung the hanger on a hook near the
open window, where the linen could
finish drying. Then she ran upstairs
to bathe and wave her hair. She

had left it, but suspended from the
