If tho Windlers' Hat hnd been mm.
mensurato In bIzo with tho Windlers'
popularity ns evidenced by their wed
ding presents It would Iiavo been ao
hip they never could havo afforded to
pay tho rent.
It wan nn Ideal flat for a family that
was short on furnlturo and hrlc-a-hrac,
but it was a trial to people on
whom their well meaning friends and
relatives had nhowcred ten tlmon ns
much stuff nn they could iiho up in tho
courKO of a normal lifetime. After
nearly ncnulrlnn bruin fever trjlng to
dlsposo their poskckbIoiih about tho
plnco without havliiK their homo look
na though It wan about to choko to
death on n miporllulty of furnlturo and
miscellaneous wares they gnvo up and
put thrcc-Miinrtcrs of their wed tit up
gifts In tho basement storeroom. Then
their troubles began.
".Mercy!" Mrs. Windier cried ono
evening Just before her aunt and uncle
wcro duo for dinner. "Jimmy, we'll
have to get that carved oak hall chest
up hero beforo Aunt Cornelia nrrlves
or she'll never forglvo us! It cost ti
small fortuno and Bho won't under
fitnnd why "
Tho rest of Mrs. Wlndlcr's remarks
were irrevocably lost In tho tumultu
ous rush of tho Windlers to tho base
ment. Mrs. Wlndlcr's pale rose gown was
soon hopelessly soiled and Wlndlcr's
temper was ruined for tho whole- even
ing, to say nothing of his cuffs. Tho
hall chest was barely thumped Into
place with tho help of tho subsidized
Janitor and tho Windlers were still
brenthlng hard when Aunt Cornelia
nntl Uncle Jabcz arrived. The former
peered sharply at her gift.
"Seems to mo you don't do much
dusting of your things," alio said, rub
ring a finger across tho chest nnd leav
ing a deep depression In tho grlmo
mat nau settled on It In tho store
room. "Seems to mo you don't caro
much nbout my gift, Louise!" When
Aunt Cornelia rebuked ono In that
tone the situation was serious.
After tho visitors had departed tho
chest had to bo lugged down to tho
basement again, because there was no
other place for tho bookcase.
The two largo paintings wero tho
worst. When Cousin John's folks wero
coming the Windlers hung up the pic
turo of tho l.ombardy poplars and tho
sheep. Then they took It down when
tho Phllllpsons wero duo nnd put In
Its placo the picture presented by tho
Phllllpsons showing tho garden scene.
This worked nil right until Sue San-'
dcrs, who could always bo depended
upon to say tho wrong thing, burst out
la tho presenco of all tho Phllllpsons:
"Oh, you'vo changed your pictures!
Why, you havo a new one! What did
you do with tho cute ono of tho sheep
and poplars that has always hung
right Here till now?"
That threw a coldness upon tho Phll
llpsons that never was eradicated.
"They nctcd," stormed Mrs. Windier
helplessly after they wero gone, "as
though it was our fault that we didn't
havo flvo walls In this room Instead of
four! I hate their old picture, any
how!" Tho silver, howover, created tho
most trouble, because there was so
much of It
However, they knew they were us
ing tho wrong teaspoons the night tho
Smiths dined with them by the pecul
iarly cold manner In which Mrs. Smith
regarded tho ones at her plate.
They realized that they had mado
tho wrong selection In Bllvor bread
plates when Undo Hiram polntodly
Inquired who had given them tho plato
that they preferred to hl gift. Ho
said ho had hoped when ho devoted a
week to selecting It that ho had picked
out something they really would like.
Altogether, tho Wladlers had a terrl
bio tlmo smoothing down Undo Hiram.
They thought it odd that tho moro
money a relative had tho moro isily
and deeply his feelings wero in. nl
When any of tho girls gathered at
her house in the afternoon for cards
Mrs. Windier nearly lost her mind. It
Kho used Sadie's tea cloth Instead of
Amy's when Amy was present the lat
ter was so hurt that It was painful,
and If Angcllno didn't sco her out
alass vaso anywhere nbout her eye
brows speedily announced the fact
"It Isn't n home!" Mrs. Windier
walled ono night. "It's the Inside of
a kaleidoscope! I'm so nervous for
fear I'll get tho wrong thing out when
mo ngnt person comes or for fear
two of 'em'II land hero together and
pull each other's hair because ono's
gift Is on view nnd tho othor's Isn't
that I'm a total wreck, Jimmy!"
"Cheer up!" said tho haggard Jim
my, who was hastily changing a
bionzo head for a Paryo Hon, tho Get
tiers being duo that evening. "It
can't go on forever somethlng'll hap
pen!" It did. Tho building burned down
while tho Windlers wcro at tho the
ator and they returned to ashes, glow
Ing embers and complete desolation.
"All your lovely things, Mrs. Wind
lor!" ono of tho neighbors mourned.
"All your perfectly lo-o-ovely wedding
presents gone! I don't see how you
benr tho blow so bravely!"
"Well," Bald Mrs. Windier, strug
gllng, heroically to conceal her hnppl
ness, "it Is wrong to give way to one's
feelings and, besides, there are always
compensations In evervthinc-." Clil.
