i
ESPECIALLY CIGARS
By H. L. LANGDALE.
(, IbiO. by McClurr Newnpiiper Synllct.)
"Now, Tom," admonished MntlK',
Italicizing each word with nn emphatic
forefinger poke Into her lniftinrK
overcoat, "remember, the Brnnsons
are coming to dinner tonight. Don't ,
forpet to lirlnjr homo some flowers and
cigars especially tins cigars."
With last jmt anil wifely kiss, she
pushed him Into the vontlbule, closed ,
the door on his "Sure thing, honey; (
good-by," nnil hurried haul: to the ,
kitchen to begin preparations for the
evening. '
Tom and Mndjce I'rltchard were
newcomers In the Lahowood colony,
and this was to he their very first at
tempt at regular entertaining. Mr. ,
Bronson was some sort of partner In
n large Arm of architects, and a man
that Tom as an expert draftsman
"ought to know," according to Madge.
Mrs. Bronson, portly, exquisitely
dressed, ns rcgulnrly massaged as ,
Madge was shampooed, sifted and or- j
ganlzed whatever of society Lnkowood
hoasted. If Tom was not to fall short
In Mr. Branson's o.ves, neither did
Madgo Intend to he found wanting In i
the estimation of Ids wife. j
And to that end. she had planned ;
this dinner with care.
She Imped Tom would remember the
cigars. Time was. In his bachelor ,
days, and, she hoped, time would he-1
in the future, when ills pockets con- ,
tnlned plenty of nice, brightly banded
smokes ns n matter of course.
Promptly at ni'JSi the Bronson sednn
drew tip at the I'rltchard curb. Madge,
pretty and slim, and softly gowned in
crepe do chine, was waiting to greet
her guests.
"My husband Is late, as usual," she
apologized gracefully. "Commuting Is
bo unreliable."
Hnt Tom came In Just then with a
tnle of open bridges and delayed trtif
flc, and Madge sllpiwd away.
Dinner was hnlf over. So far every
thing had been perfect. Salad course
was next, then dessert, then coffee and
clgnrs In the living room by the open
fire. Horrors I Had Tom remembered?
Catching his eye, she managed to
convey, by n lift of the eyebrows and
nn Inconspicuous two-lingered gesture
rh of ono who removes a cigar from
his mouth, the query. They had been
married long enough for Tom to be
fairly well trained In this delicate do
mestic art of signal and Interpreta
tion. Once, ho would have laid down
his napkin, half risen, and snld,
"Something the mutter, dear?" Hut
tonight utter blankness swept his
countenance, succeeded by an expres
sion of Inflnlto dismay.
While shifting plates for the salad,
nn idea occurred to her, Only n block
below was u small part grocery, part
. stationery store, an unneuutirui spot
on Lnkewood's residential street, but
quite frequently a godsend to an un
expectedly visited housekeeper. She
would start the salad, then, under pre
text of delay in the kitchen, run down
to the store, get the best cigars they
carried, place them In the humidor In
the living room, ami reappear frrim
the kitchen.
In the brightly lighted dining room,
about the table sparkling with shining
silver and spotless linen, Madge's
guests, toying with their cherry-topped
salad, awaited her return to their
midst and waited and waited
"Madge 1" Tom raised his voice
slightly.
There was no reply.
Meanwhile, Madgo had accom
plished her errand and was nearly
home. Suddenly, ricocheting across
the street, skidded a loaded automo
bile, bumping with a grinding of
brakes and startled cries from the In
nmtes, Into another car drawn up at
the curb.
Wildly hoping her absence had not
been noticed, Madge arrived breath-

levslv Iti front of her veranda n
veranda which seemed filled with peo
ple, I'lthough In renllty there were
only three. The light, streaming from
the door behind, revealed Mr. and Mrs.
Itronson. bareheaded, and Tom with a
napkin dangling In his hand,
Madge, In nn agony of shame at be
ing caught In the act of returning
from running away from her own din
ner party, little realized what n pretty
picture sin; innde as she stood below,
her cheeks becomingly flushed, her
breath coming a bit quickly between
parted Hps.
How explain herself? Plnuslble
stories sprang to her Hps, explanations
untrue, but surely permissible under
the circumstances.
Then, suddenly, with half a smile.
"Here they are, Torn," she said, hold
ing out a slim hand filled with cigars.
Some hours later. Tom, forgiven and
penitently committed to drowning
self If, by Jupltor.'he ever forgot any-
thing again, explained how he hnd
gone to the kitchen In search of her.

Colncldently with this conversation,
Mr. itronson was remarking to his
wife: "Prltchnrd seems nn A-l sort
of chap fine mind, nlthough I guess
his wife wishes he'd Improve his
memory 1" Bronson laughed.
"I Ihlnk," returned his wife, com
plncently, "that his little wife Is go
ing to be nn addition to our commun
ity." Then ndded, epigrammatlcally,
"she has that Invaluable social asset
the sixth sense which saves a situa
tion." "You mean," Interrogated her hus
band, "she wasn't phased when we
caught her getting the cigars?"
"Exnctly!" said his wife.
EARTH IS GROWING COLDER
Old. Fashioned Arctic Winters Seem to
De More and More Recognized
Institutions.
How do the old-fashioned people ac
count for the fact that this second dec
ado of the twentieth century, now
nenr Its close (the decade, not the cen
tury) litis produced more, "old-fashioned
.winters" than nny like recorded pe
riod in the past? "The cllmntc Is
growing milder," some people say. It
appears more likely It Is growing
stendlly colder. The oldest Inhabitant
cannot remember a more Verinontlsh
sort of a winter In Boston tliim the one
which hits happily come to an end,
remarks the Transcript of that city.
Onu would, Indeed, rather expect It to
he so. Our moribund earth Is con
stantly radiating Its heat Into the shiv
ery spaces lotween the planets. The
sun Is pumping away Into regions far
beyond the planets, with a positively
Inconceivable recklessness of wasteful
ness, its stores of heat and energy. Wo
nre trying to warm up the milky wny
and are only chilling ourselves In do.
lug It. The process has been going on
for ii million years and more. Perhaps
It Is beginning to tell on the weather at
Boston. Year by year the old-fashioned
winters will he getting more new
fashioned until at last Guiana and
Amazonia will be sending their Arctic
expeditious to Massachusetts bay, as
we are now sending MacMllliin to
Hallln's bay.
Children's Library for Madrid.
The ministry of public instruction
in Spain has Instituted a special libra

and It Is to admit children under I I.
Once It fins begun to be operated,
children under that age will not be
permitted entrance Into any other
library of Madrid without n special
penult specifying the books needed.
Special funds have been provided' for
the library, which will specialize not
only on Juvenile hooks, but also re-
views nnd papers that concern them

tlculur problems.
