doughnuts.
Mimi danced ahead Of me like a
child. Everything is going to be
simply darling" she assured me,
and for an hour after that we were
busy putting the things in place
Transforming the living room into
delightful mony-with the
grays and blacks and reds.
'I'll put gray covers over that aw-
full brocade," Mimi exulted-"and
we'll tear the paper off the walls
and tint them"
It was a task which took some
weeks, and the climax came, when
I set Hayes and all his men to
work on the fireplace building a
great stone chimney, and making
the mantel of split oak log.
Hayes grumbled while he was
doing it. you'll freeze" he as
isured me. But we compromised
by putting the big stove in the
dining room where it's heat over
flowed, and kept the living room at
even temperature.
And now a fire blazed on our
hearth, and Mimi and I sat in
front of it night after night, I with
my books and writing pad, and
she with her eternal knitting. We
had the effect, at least, Of domes-
ITCHY, although she knew and I
knew that the thing which makes
a hearth sacred was lacking.
It was about this time that I be-
gan to see that Minis pride was
not thin garment to be torn by
adversely. It was, rather, a robe
Witch could be worn with an air
in the midst of hardship. It was
Minis pride which had made this
room restful and charming. It
was her pride which kept her hair
brushed and beautiful, and her
hands smooth and white. It was
her pride which gave to our din
ners the effect Of formality. We
dined now on a little table drawn
up in front of the fire, and it was
Mimi who made squares of gray
linen, and who put oranges or red
apples in a gray and black bowl
for a centerpiece. Whatever came,
life must have for her it's beauty.
She could not live without it.
She packed away many Of the ex-
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-01-04

quisite gowns she had brought, and
altered others so that they were
simple and appropriate.
T began to see that she was, in
many ways, like my mother. They
had, both of them, the sense that
man may sink into savagery UNI
less woman holds him to the things
which m Ike for order and dignity.
So as she sat by the fire, night
after night, my wife became the
symbol of something which must
strive for. I might win from her,
perhaps, that which, she had never
given. She looked upon me now
as a builder of airy castles. I must
show myself able to erect firm
foundations.
The knitting which kept Mimi
busy was for the men who were
at war in France. America was
being called upon to do what she
could for the refugees from Bel
GUM and other invaded territory.
Letters from Bernice told us that
Andy had gone and that Lionel
was going. "And I am going with
him." Bernice said, "the blood OF
our ancestors calls us, Mimi"
Mimi had read the letter and
had sat with her, eyes fixed on
the fire. "I know how Bernice
feels" she said, ''it was the home
of our grandfathers."
It had been the home not only
of the grandfathers, but of the
grandmothers with the ball-gowns
the ones who had danced with
Lafayette. No such blood flowed
in my veins-yet I, too, was
thrilled by the thought Of La
fayette.
It was, I think, early in Decen-
Der that the idea began to form in
my mind of going to France. I
would win Mimi back by heroic
defense of her land, the land she
loved. With my fatal sense. Of
dramatization, I began to make
pictures of myself with the battle
field as background. could
fight for Minis love. I might
even die for it. might, thus, re-
deem myself. I had become less

might prove more than a hero in

after a ride to a neighboring ranch

room that I stood, petriied, on the

The awful rug was gone, and
some of the awful furniture. Gone

They were most attractive in

touches of flaming red-there were
baskets in all shapes and colors, a
pair of antlers-a bearskin rug.
Mimi was buying everything
