"Quite right, sweetheart. I bought

ana am cooking accordingly.
"Die at what-icks?"
"The science of culinary efficiency,
clear. Proper blood-building, tissue
feeding victuals, based on the latest
things in science."
Jill assumed what she felt sure
was a very scientific air, as she
glanced at the ciirious mixtures on
the plates before her.
. Jack was astounded and, for, a
change, had no repartee.
"You see, dear. At this time of
the year one should eschew meat.
"I d rather chew it, honey girl.
I'm starved and I am too healthy to
risk taking chances with these scien
tific preparations."
"Jack, if you love me at all," and
Jill began to look piteous, "you will

Who on earth would want to live
so long in the orient?"
"Now you arc ridiculing mc,"
pouted Tilt. "I want us both to live

"All right, honey. What do I get

"Well, tonight, we have specially
prepared soy beans and a vegetable
salad, with a very scientific substitute
for coffee. No buttter, milk or any
other animal product, including meat.
There's a hundred times the nour
ishment." , ,
"All right, darling. I'll take a
chance at any kind of death once!"
And so they dined on a strictly
vegetarian diet. Jack was delighted
when the meal was over, but neither
ho nor Jill felt as though they, had
bver-eatcn.
Jack went out .to smoke his pipe
in the quiet streets of the suburban
village, as he told Jill.
Before they went to sleep, Jack
heard a little sigh.
"Hungry?" he asked, with a
chuckle.
"No! I intend trying this system
out for a week."
"I hope we live until next Satur
day, dear."
Minaay morning. came anoiner
egglcss, meatless, milkless, fatless,
coffceless meal. Jack seemed re
signed to his fate, but Jill grew in
creasingly nervous.
' "Oh, Jack, I'm afrajd that we've
1 made, an awful mistake trusting too
much, to science," she told him as
they walked home from church.
"There's not a bit of meat in the
house and now it's Sunday. And I'm
getting weak. What shall we do?"
"I absolutely refuse to go out to
dinner or to cat anything what we
already have in the house. It's a
sin to buy anything on Sunday 1"
"Even at the village delicatessen
store?" and her eyes were pleading.
Jack shook his head resolutely.
But as Jill dismally started to pre
pare some more strange vegetable
dishes Jack came up from the cool
basement with some bundles in his
arms.
"Honey, I thought that we might
have company who wouldn't sym
pathize with our vegetarian plans.
So, here's a steak and some eggs, and
some chops and some butter and
some layer cake and some coffee
and other things. I bought at the
grocery store last night just before
they closed."
Jill beamed, and Jack continued
with a triumphant grin:
"Of course you don't want any
and I don't. But hadn't we better
invite some company in, so they
won't spoil?" t
Jill gave a determined shake of
the head.
"There are two good reasons, dear

that their value should bo propor

"When do you plan to go, Jim?"
I asked the question ouietly, ac
quiescently, for I saw that m hit
present 'mood words from anyone
would be worse than useless. . Be
sides, he evidently did not intend to
go out of our lives altogether, and
he had gained sufficient control over
himself so that I no longer dreaded
any insane outbreak of jealousy from
him. Perhaps, I told myself, with
an irritated remembrance of Katie t
stillcn indifference to Jim s point of
view, his going away might not be
the worst thing in the world tor my
tempestuous little maid. That Jim
loved her loyally, devotedly, even, in
a sense, humbly, I knew, and I
guessed also that she received his de
votion very much as a matter oi
course. His absence migni icacii
her a salutary lesson,
Tim hesitated at my question,
looking at me appealingly.
"I'd like to c vou. Mrs. Graham,
and I want to give you my address,
but"
"I will not tell Katie anything you
tell me until you give me permis
sion," I assured him quickly.
"Well, then, I'm going tonight.
I've just waited for you to come
home so as to get away. Nobody
guesses a thing, except Jerry Ticer,
and him I told that I was going
away on a little excursion I didn't
want my wife to know about, and
that I wanted him to stay until I got
back. -He won't say nothin', be
cause ho thinks it's a good joke, and
he likes the idea of working here.
And my address will be Marvin for
awhile. I can make good money till
winter o-n the fishing boats, and no
body there will think anything
strange about my leaving home for
awhile. The men mostly have to go
different places. I wouldn't like to
have it get around here, either, that
I'd left Katie, for"
"Nothing Will Happen,
"You haven't," I interrupted
firmly. "I know that as w.ell as you
do. I know something else, too,
which you will learn, and that is,
Katie's "love and truth to you. There
is no other man. I am sure of it.
But I think it is all right for you to
go away for awhile, and I will take
good care of Katie until you come
back again,"
He rose, swallowed, hard two or
three times, and made a queer, awk
ward bow.
"Thank you, ma'am. I know that.
Good-bye, he said haskily.
I put out my hand, grasping his
heartily. .
''Good-bye, Jim." The next min

OfflClNATED BY MR WASHINCT3N IN 1909-
r
"Oh, Hateful, Haughty
' AmerieaP
Professing: to work for the peace of the World, America invited the nations to the Washington Con
ference, where-she has "tricked them one and all." This scathing reproach of the Tokyo Yorodzu gives
the intensive form of a feeling of disillusion about the Washington Conference that is revealed in some
sections of the Japanese press. "Hateful and haughty," indeed, is America, the Tokyo Yorodzu says, pic
turing Uncle Sam as "an international bqor" toward whom "we entertain a grudge" and "have no reason '
to show good will." Going further, this newspaper adds, "limitation of armaments may be a step toward
peace," but "a peace thus brought about is a peace without liberty, a slavish peace. Do the Japanese
people wish for such slavish peace, after Japan has been kicked and trampled down by America? We are
firmly resolved to reject such a slavish peace."
But not all Japan is so disgruntled with the Washington Conference, as we may judge from the
widely circulated and influential Tokyo Jiji, which says: "We should congratulate ourselves on the suc
cess of the Washington Conference. It will not be too much to call this success a great undertaking to
save the world. We therefore express our undivided sense of congratulation and at the same time thank
the government authorities at home and abroad for their efforts to bring about the success." For more
news of Japanese opinions regarding the Washington Conference, read the article, "Oh, Hateful, Haughty
America," in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week. .
