I had scored derisively in the little game of wits between Dicky and me. a game I do not think my husband realized he was playing. But I knew that my prompt acquiescence to his carelessly uttered proposal to scatter the household for a while be cause he thought we were getting on each other's nerves, had piqued him. It would take very little man agement on my part for him to aban don his proposal, at least as far aV he and I were concerned. But my pride not only prevented me from lifting the traditional finger to change his mind, but marshalled all my energies to the bolstering of his project. I would give him no chance to retreat. I told myself a trifle grimly, as I schooled my voice to put a query which should sound at once Interested and nonchalant. “Have you made any plans?" I asked. Dicky bent an inscrutable pair of eyes upon my face for a flashing second. "Sometimes T don’t get you at all,” he said enigmatically. My pulses bounded with the most exhilarating of all the sensations to a women—the realization that she is puzzling her own particular man. I did not answer him save with a cryptic smile, and with a shrug of his shoulders he plunged Into the details of a plan which I guessed had suddenly become distasteful to him. “I'll go to the studio, of course.” he began, and with the words he was revenged, although I flattered myself no change in my facial expression Have you placed your ^landing order $ Raisin Bread on Wednesdays ?

I said with quick assent, “but are you sure you'll be comfortable there?" —this last with the correct air ol wifely solicitude. "All the comforts of home, and some that home never saw!" he re turned with a sardonic little quirk o( his lips. "Don't strain yourself wor rying over me.

Experience of Dicky's extravagant speech made me take this dlatrlbf calmly, especially aa I read beneath hla words the secret gratification which was his at having his work go much in demand. But the mention of Alfred Durkee'o name gave me a chance to inject a new note into our colloquy. "Alf?" I repeated interestedly "How are all theDurkee's?” —Dtwell Photo. Sibbernsen. W. Parratt, J.

"Tou'd do exactly aa he la doing—make the best of things.” “You don't know ms, woman,” Dicky burlesqued, "but thank all the little gods you didn't have any an cestral southern home over which you yearned with auch fervent yearns that nothing would do you but having Junior breath hla first breath within Its sacred walla.

And Leila spent half of her childhood there. I can understand how she wants to go there Just now with Aunt Dora Paige to see to things." "Oh I suppose, sol” Dicky agreed, "but it's mighty tough on Alt just the same. He can’t leave the office these days for any length of time, and he’s so anxious about Leila he’s nearly crazy.” “I imagine he’ll survive,” I said dryjy, quickly adding; "Who’s going with Leila?” "Regular hard-boiled little cynic, aren’t you?” Dicky quizzed. "Of course you’ll hold that little episode of Bess Dean against the poor lad for the rest of his natural life." "Nothing of the kind,” I retorted, although I knew that I never had quit# forgiven Alfred Durkee for the short-sightedness which had permit ted Bess Dean to make gentle Leila so unhappy. "But—‘men have died and worms have eaten them, but not for love,’ you know.” "I don’t notice any of your modem women pining away, either, old dear," and again there was the elu sive and gratifying note of pique In his voice. "But all that Isn’t answer ing your question.

It has unmistakably designated the West as the home of coffee excellence. Upholding this tradition, to which it has so richly contributed, is Hills Bros. Red Can Coffee—the largest-selling brand and, without contradiction, The Recognized Standard. When you break the vacuum seal and inhale that mar velous aroma, you understand why. And that rich, rare aroma is but the herald of a still-more-wonderful flavor to come. That none of this flavor should escape, Hills Bros, originated the vac uum-pack for coffee, which delivers it to you in all its freshness, whether you break the seal days, weeks or years later 1 t \ “In the erigiml f taatwn Thck which keeps the coffee firsh With all its high quality, Hills Bros.
