I TITLE Mrs. Philip Ainslee was
~ hurrying to market, and as she
tripped along she was mentally pre-
pairing an elaborate dinner for the
evening. For, in little Mrs. Aims
lees opinion, very wonderful thing
had happened. Her husband had so
far progressed on the road to sue
cess with his violin, that he was,
that day, returning from his first
concert trip. Mrs. Philip felt that
the occasion demanded more than
passing notice.
A familiar figure greeted her eye
as she left the store. 1t was her
husband with his violin case under
his arm and brand new travelling
bag in his hand.
You're home much sooner than
l expected" she said, gat1y, "How
did it happen?"
He did not reply and she could
see that his face was sullen. Some
thing had gone wrong.
They walked on in silence, for
Mrs. Philip had long since learned
that silence alone was necessary
on such occasions. Once inside
their apartment, he sank into a
chair, and spoke, peevishly.
II am dog tired. Get me a cup of
tea. Then I'm going to bed. I've
been keeping extremely late hours
this week"
She went into the kitchen and a
moment later he followed her.
II tell you what, JOY" he burst
out, finally, ''it takes money to
travel with the bunch I've been fol-
lowing this week"

lessly. She was the only person in
the entire club who didn't find Miss
Berry "disgustingly boresome."
Miss Berry smiled amiably.
Hello, dear, you look warm. Did
you work hard?"
Nope, life's too short"
Avis sauntered on. She knew that
every girl in the club criticized her
unkindly for befriending the neglect
ed Miss Berry, whom they looked
upon as an intruder occupying a
young girls space.
"Id go coocoo if l had to eat at
the same table with Old Lady Ber-
ry," said Meg Forrest, one of the
self-asserted elite. "Does she still
talk about murders, Avis?"
ION the contrary, girls, l think
Miss Berry is very pleasing and in
teresting," replied Avis, descending
the stairs in response to the dinner
bell.

someone laughed at the next table.
Avis knew that such unkind, catty
remarks were intended for her bene-
fit alone, as Miss Berry was quite
deaf. Turning her head slightly, she
said: "Miss Berry, I have some de-
icious fudge in my room; won't you
come in little later in the evening
and sample some?"

Laurel Prized by Greeks

Laurel was priced by the Greeks
as token of safety and as a pre-
ventive of illness. 1t was hung upon
the doors of many of the homes to
prevent lightning from striking.
One of the legends concerning
Laurel states that Emperor Tiberi-
us used crown of laurel on his
head before creeping under the bed
during a heavy electrical storm.

Next morning Avis was as fresh

all. "Oh, where's my dear Lady,"
Il guess she's SICK" answered
Sophie, her mouth full of oatmeal.

room early this morning"
During the next two weeks Avis
ministered to the rapidly-failing
Miss Berry, with the solicitude and
diligence Of a faithful friend. The
duties were too burdensome for the
matron, and the doctor advised a
journey TO the hospital.
"Has Miss Berry got to go to the
hospital?" inquired Sophie, MUNICH

yes, doctor advised her to go

That afternoon Miss Berry was

to her only sister, and Avis was
left alcnc with the careless and
carcfrce number of girls to mourn
her friend, who criticized one min
ute and sympathized the next.
"Avis, for goodness sake, why

"Your brooding and incoming for

ip, daddy? A doggie?"
At that moment Joy caught a
glimpse of her husbands face. And
she knew. He had brought the baby
nothing.
Twenty dollars, he had brought
home, where there should have been
ten times that! She had meant to
do so much with it. Instead, it had
been squandered on heaven alone

that there were bills, bills, bills!
But even so, she would have forgiv-

Philip.
"Here!" her husbands voice
broke in upon her misery. Here,

He put bunch of orchids on the
table. Orchids! And now she saw
red. Orchids at-how much each?
She picked them up and without a
word, flung them into the waste bas-
ket.
Philip stormed out and shut the
door.
She loved orchids, and he knew it.
He had reckoned that they would
soften her wrath against him for
his extravaganza. Let them wither
in the basket where they lay! They
should not plead for him.
1t was no use. She loved orchids
and she could not leave them dying
there. Even if she did not forgive
Phil, she would put them in a vase.
The moment she touched them
she began to cry. In the old days
of their courtship Philip often
bought them for her. 1t had thrilled
her then, that same extravaganza
over which she now ragged. Was
there, after all, SO much difference
in it? She had married Phil. know
ing his failings. And now she was
making herself miserable about it.
AS for his forgetting little Phil
wasn't that preferable to a collie
pup? A thousand times more so!
She tried to thrust the orchids
from her, and again she couldn't.
"Joy Ainslee," she said, you're
an idiot-and mighty poor sport.
You knew Phil was extravagant!
You knew all about him. And YOU
married him! You are complaining
of hard judgment and you were
master of your own fortune"
She rose and put the orchids in
the vase. Then she opened the door
and went into the kitchen She be-
gan to make tea, carefully.
Her husband came out and stood
awkwardly in the middle of the
floor.
"I've contracted for a months en-
gagement in Chicago" he said.
"There'll be a good bit of money in
it"
Isn't that wonderful" She
smiled on him. "Tea is ready" she
added, and touched her lips lightly
to his as he drew his chair up to
