"REVELATIONS OF A WIFE"
Th Way Mr. Cotgrovt D!ighi4
Madge.
Mri. Cosgrove looked tt m, be
wiliJermrnt in every line of her fee,
when I aiked her (or the loan of
one of her discarded old-faihioned

knew also that ine would ro.ke no

"you know they II wrap around you

A "Find."
"Vou forsret the modern walmline.'
I said. "Your skirt probably will
just fit."
"Yes, no doubt you'll have to let
out the band," she retorted dryly,
, and the next moment she had taken
down from a spare closet a skirt
which I seized eagerly, for it spelled
in every line exactly the effect 1
wished. Black, rather full, and bear
in? in every stitch the mark of an
unskilled country dressmaker. 5
visualized myself in it with a mental
chuckle.
"This fs perfect!" I cried enthu
siastically. "May I have this one?"
"Of course. And, it doesn't in
the least matter if you tear it or
spoil it. I think I shall cut that
skirt up for rug rags. There arc
other better skirts here if you would
rather have them. That was the
first to my hand."
"No, indeed." I c'utched the old
fashioned garment tenaciously.
"You'd have to get a platoon of state
troopers to get this away from me
now. But tell me, haven't you a
jacket somewhere of the same vint
age as this?"
She turned to the closet and took
down a coat such as I had not seen
for 20 years. I guessed that it was
at least that old, and I took it from
her hands with lively gratitude, for
1 saw in it the successful fruition of
my mischievous little prank against
Dicky.
"This ought to fit you pretty well,"
Mrs. Cosgrove said. "I was more
your size 20 years ago. Slip it on."
I did so, found that it was, indeed,
a fair fit, and with a laughing ex
pression of thanks to Mrs. Cosgrove
I wrapped the clothing in a com
pact paper-covered bundle, sped
back to my bungalow and gained my
bedroom without- Picky seeing me.
Jack and Jill
"Oh. whal a stuoid novel.'
And Jill chucked the offending
book on the sola beside her.
"Most of 'em are, these days,"
said Jack, sympathetically. "I never
read 'em any more."
"And it's too cold to go over to
the movies tonight," she complained.
"Well, for goodness' sake, honey,
don't propose that we go calling on
any of the neighbors, because I
wouldn't change my slippers for my
shoes for a million dollars."
"Well, it's too early to go to bed.
It's only a few minutes after 8.
Jack puffed contentedly on his new
Christmas pipe.
"Let's play "
"Oh I'm s'ck of cards," Jill groan
ed complaining. "And, besides, Jack,
you don't know how to play. You
are always making; mistakes when we
T'lav cards."
"Oh, alt riht." He lapsed into a
brown study and seemed content.
"Where's that checker set Aunt
Eva Nichols sent us for Christmas?"
she demanded suddenly.
"Oh, I don't know. Out in the
kitchen, maybe." .
"A checker set out in the kitchen,"
said Jill scornfully. "That's non
sense. " I'm sure it's in the front
room." And she went to investigate
this presentment, which proved cor
rect for she returned with the board
and counters.
"Come on here, old fellow, and
play me game of checkers."
He sighed and they rested the
: board on his knees.
He nodded in agreement.-
"I can't put my mind on games,"
he admitted.
She w.'ped out his first three men
in four moves.
"Oh, come. come, wake up," she
said imoatiently. "You know you
can do better than that."
He tried to make a counter at
tack, but lost another man in the
operation and Jill smiled.
"This is a clever game," she said
calmly, "provided one- has a keen
mind to see the moves far enough
ahead."
Jill's next four moves won four
more men and gave her two more
kincs. as well. .
. "Mercy, but you are a stpid check
er player, dear, she said sweetly,
i Tack srrunted.
Then suddenly something happen
ed. Jill never did quite make it out,
although Jack s only king maoe tne
rounds slowly" and with maddening
methodical oositiveness. lhat ter
rible lonely king of his just wiped
out six counters while Jill looked
on in amazed surprise.
And the final swirl of Jack's king
cleaned the board of all her counters
kings and commoners alike while
four of Jack's odious black men re
mained on the board.
"Ohl" she cried and she drew
back, the board falling from Jack's

When I had caught my breath and
had enjoyed quiet little anticipa
tory laugh, 1 gathered up Junior's
right thing i and went over to Lil
lian's bungalow, where he was to
sleep for the night, and where ne
had gone with Marion dirertly after
supper.

Marion greeted me rapturously
from a big old chair, in the depths
dt whirh she and Junior snared a
large illustrated alphabet book, one
which my son a adoring' grandmother
had given him, and which he
prized highly.
"Oh. Auntie Madact" she cried,
"Junior can say almot all of his
alphabet. Tell mother, Junior. Get
down now and stand up."
My small lad slipped from his
seat, put his hands behind him, and
straightened himself to his lull baby
height.
"A, B, T, D. E. F. P." he intoned
proudly, when Marion interrupted
anxiously:
"He can't say C and G." she ex
plained apologetically, so he calls
them 'V and 'U.' But he knows
them. Go on, Junior."
Junior went on, finished the alpha
bet in triumph, and then, as if hyp
notized by his own achievement, be
gan at 'A' and went through the
whole thing again, this time at a
gallop. A he finished the "Z,"
Marion, with an anxious schooi
ma'am air which convulsed her
mother and me, said authoritatively:
"That will do. Junior."
But Junior had tasted applause
and would not be squelched. A third
time he began his rattling list, and
was highly indignant when I swept
him up from the floor and stopped
the recital with a hug and numerous
kisses.
"Dooner doin read bid book " he
announced proudly, and Marion
looked up an answering pride in her
winsome face.
"He's so smart. Auntie Madge,
she said, "that I think it's a shame
not to improve the time with him.
You don't mind if I teach him, do
you? It'll be awfully good practice

BusinessGod's Creation
By JACK LEE '
"When God created the world he also created busi
ness. He knew that business would be just as necessary
for its success as man. Therefore He made rules which,
while governing man, also governed business, and, while
man, through the centuries, has ignored many of the
laws of God in private and business life, the laws still
stand, as He made them, and meant them to be, a
panacea for all ills."
This was the answer Gipsy Smith, the great evan
gelist, gave me when I asked him if it were possible for
a man to be religious and succeed in business.
He looked at me with a sort of pitying5 expression
in his brown eyes and as though remembering my youth,
the pity left his' face and interest took its place. I, with
the same youthful brashness, asked him another ques
tion which he perhaps thought uncalled for, but which
he answered.
"Is it possible for a man to be honest in his religion,
carry out his religious teachings in all his business deal
ings with his fellow business men and become rich?" I
asked.
"Absolutely," the Gipsy said.
"The only way a man can succeed in any business
is to stand by his religious teachings, which call for a
square deal to every man and honesty above all.
"It is just as easy for a business man to be honest
as it is for wheat to grow honestly, for millers to grind
it honestly and for salesmen to sell it honestly.
"The great trouble is that men do not want to make
just a little or even a fair profit they want to make a
lot, and there they transgress the words of Jesus, who
also was a business man and understood business
principles.
"Jesus said, 'Do ye as you would be done by.' The
best things I know in the Bible to guide a business man
on a straight career, and a successful one, is the sermon
on the mount and the Ten Commandments. If all the
business men just for 24 hours would take these precepts
and follow them closely they would think the millenium
had come.
"They would get such results and feel so good over
real honest treatment that they would never go back to
the old practices, but would continue with the new.
"Because of His knowledge of business Jesus taught
men not only to. live righteously in their private lives,
but to do the same in business. The cleansing of the
temple, when He drove out the grafting money changers,
was a good example of what He thought of honesty in
business."
I know there are some good hard-headed, common
sensed business men who will say after reading this:
"That sounds all very pretty from an evangelist who
knows nothing of business, who talks so prettily of
theory. If I practiced the golden rule one day in my
store I'd be ruined;"
- Gipsy Smith may be an envangelist, but he has had
dealings with business men on five continents in his 35
years as an evangelist, and for good, sound business rea
soning he can attract the attention of any business man
worthy the name.
But, granting that the evangelist is not engaged in
a commercial business, here's what a man who has his
fingers on the pulse of the business world of America
says. And when he speaks "Big Business" listens.
"The greatest need of the hour is religion," Roger
W. Babson, nationally known writer on business affairs,
declared recently.
When a man who is actively engaged in business,
who watches it from all angles and all corners of the na
tion and who is able to make a diagnosis and prescribe
what medicine is needed to keep it healthy, the local
business man is bound" to take his word as worthy of
consideration, and not passive consideration at that.
In his recent book, "Making Good in Business," Mr.
Babson says: "There are many men in business who
lack moral and spiritual development. Temporarily some
of them make good, but over a long period no man will
ultimately succeed who lacks religion."
To substantiate his statement that there is a need
of religion Mr. Babson has devoted several pages in his
book to this discussion. For instance, in a chapter headed
"Constructive Aids" he has given over a portion of the
chapter to the discussion of "Spiritual Development."
"As already indicated, the most important of these
preliminary qualifications is spiritual development. The
basis of permanent success is a well-grounded spiritual
development. Such a development is far more important
than the physical, mental, industrial or recreational.
Moreover, I say this purely as a business man and statis
tician. This aid is far more essential for individual suc
cess or making good in business than any other above
enumerated. Thirty per cent of our prominent business
men of America are sAns of minsters and farmers. It
(an investigation previously mentioned) showed that
success comes to those who have been reared in a family
where religion and hard work made up the program.
"Spiritual development is especially necessary as a
foundation to the two I's, Integrity and Inspiration.
Integrity is the Ten Commandments boiled down into
one word, while Inspiration is that faith which comes
only to those who are imbued with a desire to serve.
Integrity is the keynote of the Old Testament, while
Inspiration is the keynote of the New Testament and is
that feature which differentiates Christianity from other
religions." : ; .
And then he clinches this splendid argument a few
paragraphs on with this statement: "Business enter
prises and civilization are the products of religion."
Here we have the ideas on the same subject of two
men widely separated in life. Their ideas coincide and
agree. Gipsy Smith, the man of God, and Roger W.
Babson, the man of the world of business, who has not
made Business his god, but still clings to his spiritual
guide. .
Gipsy Smith is not the only man of God who will
declare the possibilities o success to an honest business
man. Any minister will take the same stand. Roger
W. Babson is not the onjy man of the world of business
who will take a similar stand. Any business man honest
with himself will take the same stand. He will declare
without reservations that it is absolutely possible to prac
tice the teachings of Christ and be successful in business.
Omaha business men, why not all give Christ a
chance in your business? ' - .
