Relations Peculiar
But American relations with Mex
leo during the Portes Gil admin
istration have not all been spread
out on q bed of roses. The thorns
in otherwise perfumed layer has
been the Portes Gil agrarian policy,
the intensification o. the land ex-
preparation laws having served to
give the Washington administration

Embassy, especially during such

when official attention was not,

question Of self-preservation. But

ton OF an excessive land expropria-

DED was bringing home many a man and
many a woman these days, and a more
complete collection of doWn-at-the-heel, In
cipient and unsuccessful poets, painters who
hadn't arrived, bond statesmen who didn't sell
any bonds little wistful married couples, girls
working their way through college, music stu
dents with empty pockets, could not have been
assembled by any one except the talented Red.
Red brought them home proudly, and CiSsy
fed them royalty. She liked most OF them
They were all trying to do something, just as
Red was. They were a Woodworking lot, and
CisSy had lately learned to appreciate work
and persons who worked But If she had not
liked them, she would have fed them just the
same. Reds genius for. finding out all the
needy little people in the world, Reds stout
companionship of every lame duck he saw, were
too precious to his wife for one word OF dis
enlargement from her-even If lame ducks are
always hungry ducks and capable of eating
anybody out of house and home.
The lame ducks were far from lugubrious
over their various plghts, however Banter
flew around the four walls of the little Dyck-
man street fiat. Laughter rang there night
after night.
Becky remained loyal, braved the subway
and Dyckman street every week, as often a.
she could pried Cissy loose for luncheon a.
tea, was triumphant when she could get the@
both downtown for a quiet dinner or a the
alter party
One Saturday Red came home to find CissS
plunged into soapsuds in the kitchen wash tub.
What you doing?" he demanded.
"Oh, Red! What did you come home for?"
He glared at the washtub, at the heaped
up wet clothes, at her.
Get out of here" said Red.
ST won't"
Get out. No wife of mine washes clothes
in my house."
You're a nut. Do you know how much
+. we pay to have our clothes washed every week?
Fourteen. How can I earn-n
"Get out" repeated Red. A,s.s-s
And Red finished the washing. ~ L &
GUNNER came, with it Tom Wilson, ana
young Tommy, to take Cissy and Red on
unbelievable junkets to roof gardens and the
aters to Long Island for week ends, to Massa-
chusetts on q weeks motor tour. That week
was Reds vacation One week-with pay was
all the Office could allow him. and week
without pay Red did not even consider.
In the Fall Red got a $40 raise, and the
Japanese gentleman wearied Of German ks-
sons so the weekly income remained in statu
quo. -
And Cissys cooking and dishwashing and
hopping and sweeping went on, and they be-
gan to pail
The apartment was dinky. Housework was
duh. 1t was beastly, always, every time you
made move thought a thought, to have
money on your mind. She hated It. Hated
to poke around on a butchers counter, hunt
ing little cheap hunk of meat. Hated to
ride everywhere she went in the smelly sub
way or the slow old bus. Hated to climb
eternally to the top gallery of theater. Hated
to press her own clothes, mend her own lin
gerie, mess around with little bottles and rags
trying to clean her own frocks. She mated it,
but she did it. Red had warned her; she had
given her word. And Red was worth it all.

The apartment was finished to the last touch
"Now," said Cissy, what about this career
business for me?"
They had discussed before the ACCESSIBILITY
of Cissy's getting job.

Secretly, Red would have preferred to keep
his wife at home, but that was Cissy's affair,
he considered.
Cissy hunted jobs for three days.
mo-" she told Red on the third evening,
nothing to it. I can earn twenty live a week
as reception clerk, could spend three
months learning shorthand and grab off maybe
thirty. But carfares and lunches would eat up
some OF 1t, and our dinners out would take
nearly all the rest. Because I couldn't do a
job downtown and cook your dinners, darling.
I'm too darned slow. But answered an adj
vertiSement yesterday. A Japanese gentleman
wanted German lessons, and applied and p S.
got the job. Five dollars lesson. Twice

"Of course know French better than Ger
man, but at that III know more German than
he will And on Monday and Thursday eve
nings you will retire into the bed room ard
curl up with a good book"
Smart mama" said Red warmly
So life as it was to be lived began for Mr.
and Mrs Dugald Stuart. They even began
a social life of a sort.
Becky Radnor had turned up, squealing with
delight that Cissy was in New York And not
a hair did Becky turn at the sight of Cissy's
cheap, brave little apartment; not sign did
she make at the spectacle of Cissy stewing
tea and buttering mullins in dark cramped
New York kitchen. She gabbed gayly on.
Cissy and her Red must meet all the gang.
They must do all sorts Of Jolly things There

Becky was dashed, and size didn't quite get

fully.
