Coincidence

A couple from Ohio, travelling along
the Skyline Drive, remarked to each
other that it was odd that they had
seen no Ohio licensed cars since leav-
ing their state. About that time they
spied a car in front of them. The Ii
cense was Ohio and looked familiar.
Speeding up they overlook the car to

General conditions at home have
improved this week over last. That
sloppy man who lives there began to
get a little careless the minute his
wife went to a West Virginia All camp
to tell the older girls there how to en-
dure husband and yet be happy
He let the living room get messy:
The magazines were thrown here and
there. The chairs were pushed around.
The fireplace was filled with paper and
ashes from some that had been burned
and were blown about the room by
the draft. Flowers that had been
fresh at one time were dropped
with shame-sor something. The table
showed tingerprints proving that the
fellow had realized something ought
to be done, but that he lacked the
proper incentive.
Out in the kitchen the sink was al
most full of dirty dishes. The table
where that man had been eating
wasn't so tidy, either. The frying pan
had been on the stove so long that it
felt more at home there than in the
cupboard.
The bedroom wasn't any better. The
bed hadn't been made for a week. Pa
jamas were hung on a chair; tennis
toys were draped over a chest of draw
ers as if in mourning for the absen-
tee. A couple of socks stood-almost-
in one corner. Not a dresser drawer
was entirely closed.
A look at the bathroom wasn't so
inviting, either-but do you think
that man cared any? Outside of lit
tie mud on the floor, a ring around
the bathtub and couple of dirty tow
els on the floor, there wasn't much
,hange-maybe the basin could have
cen cleaner.
He expected to let everything go
ntil the last day and then rush about
nd fix everything as it should be, but
.omehow he never got to it.
But things are in much better shape
his week, thank you. They'll be that
way for two weeks. Then he'll be left
all alone again, while the wife goes
back to West Virginia to teach class
in farm women's camp. He may prom
Use to keep things more orderly, but
things will be about the same when
she returns again.

Objections Overruled

A couple were being married several
days ago in a nearby section of the
county. The minister came to the por-
ton of the ceremony where it said:
IF any person knows of any just
cause why these two should not be
joined in holy wedlock, let him speak
now Or forever hold his peace" and
was somewhat startled when one of
about twenty-five onlookers said:
81 object, Parson."
Notwithstanding the surprise of the
attack, which the minister said was
the first experience of this kind he
had ever had, he said, estate your OBJ
jections."
"a man as ugly as he oughtn't to
get married"
"Your objection is overruled," said
the minister, and the ceremony pro-
ceeded when the merriment had died
down, even though the objector adj
ded, There are some good looking
men in the audience"

 For when Roger was entirely well Jackie would tell him that all that had been between them had not been make-believe, pretense; she would tell him that their trial en- gagement could DC a true one, if he wanted it to be. She would let him see how much she loved him. She would even tell him, if necessary! She would be proud to tell him,
 Now at his door she slackened her steps, curbing their eagerness. The door was slightly ajar; she would push it open gently and sur prise Roger and Beryl. She had brought surprise, too, purchased on her way; lovely, colorful bunch of spring flowers, gay as the warm sunshine streaming in through the window, playing on Rogers narrow, high, white bed.
 He was propped up, ever so slightly, against his pillows. But he did not see Jackie in the doorway. His eyes were on Beryl, who knelt at his side, her beautiful dark eyes fixed on his, their expression again unguarded, without reserve. She leaned forward now and caught Rogers free hand in hers. She pressed it swiftly, with infinite ten- derness and passion, to her lips, then lay her head down, her shoul- ders shaking with long, drawn sobs.
 Jackie did not wait to see more. She turned and walked quietly down the long silent hallway again, the flowers still clasped in her arms.

This was the first time Beryl had let anyone glimpse through her carefully guarded reserve. Jackie was surprised-and moved. You must not feel that way" she said. Tt wouldn't have been your fault, Beryl." Of course she knew why Beryl felt that way; it was because she loved Roger.
 T can't help it," Beryl said, and for another brief moment, her eyes again betrayed her secret. Then she smiled, adding in her usual quiet manner, But how foolish to talk this way event Now that we know Roger will be all right-and are so thankful" She said goodby once more and went on her way.
 Jackie was feeling entirely made over, late that afternoon, as she mounted the steps to the hospital She felt singing sort of happiness deep within her, as she had not felt since that dreadful day when Rogers ship had crashed down from the skies.
 For the first time the long mar row railways of the hospital failed to subdue and Sadden her with their gloomy silence. She hurried towards Rogers door, at the far end, not dreading now what she would meet within these walls, but walking lightly, firmly with quick, confident steps, and actually daring to hum gay little tune underneath her breath!
 Soon now, Roger would be well again; he would leave this place forever. He would grow strong and brown and whole. All that had been would be as though it had never happened, this terrible accident, these anxious days of waiting and worrying-even all that had gone
