A Wife's Confessional

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

Tlfe Excitement Katie Felt Over a
Chinese Visitor.
“Oh, Silases Graham, could you
come by the keetehen vunce?"
Katie's voice and her dancing eyes
showed excitement, and with a depre
cating little nod to Dicky 1 followed
my volatile little maid from the library.
Secretly, I was much relieved at the
opportunity to get away from the
discussion of the changes Dicky had
proposed In our schedule of living.
I wished time to mHIl over the sus
picion which had come to me that all
was not right with our finances,
and I certainly could not consider
the question with Dicky in the off
ing.
"Is there anything the matter,
Katie?” I asked, ns I hastened my
footsteps to suit her swift ones.
"No, notings,” she returned; "only
sometings qveer. Dot laundry man he
room out here, ask to see you bout
vnsh. Now vy he cootn? I nefer see
Chink leave laundry before. Vot you
tink? He planning carry somebody
off to Chinatown, maybe?”
"How silly, Katie!” I rejoined, with
the private notation that if my little
maid did not curb her fertile imag
ination in its favorite pastime of ap
plying her idolized movie reels to her
'everyday life we 'sometimes should
find ourselves In a most ridiculous
situation of her blundering. Hut I
felt my own curiosity stir ns I en
tered tlie kitchen and saw the famil
iar stumpy figure of the Chinese

launday man who had done our flat
work ever since we moved to the
farm.
“Indeed I Like It.”
He was standing respectfully near
the door, and as I enteied his eyes,
with the absolute iH'k of expression
to which centuries of repression lias
drilled his race, looked at me fixedly
and continued their solid gaze as long
as he stayed. •
"How do," he said laconically as
I greeted him. And then, with a
quick out thrust of his hands, “You
good customer. You like?”
He had put Into my hands a most
exquisite little round jar, which I
knew from my experience of Oriental
shops* contained a favorite delicacy
of mine—preserved ginger.
"Oh. Indeed I like It!” I exclaimed
sincerely, and then hesitated for a
second.
Hid he mean to give It to me or
was he trying to make a wile? I
know that I should mortolly offend
him If the former supposition were
correc t and 1 should offer him money
for it. Fortunately, he came to my
rescue, * from accident or design, I
could not tell which.
'• Take lt.u lie said, stepping hack.
"Its yours.”
I knew better than to protest and
thanked him profusely.
"Sometime maybe you come down
see shop?” he said hopefully. "All
fix up, these in windows, more
things.”
Katie's Imagination I .caps.
"Indeed, I shall come down very
soon," I said enthusiastically, for In
Dicky's ridiculous parlance 1 am
"completely bugs" about* the ntttrac
ttve Oriental trinkets * which the
Chinese shops display. “Have you
real Chinese tea for sale?”
He smiled, with the effect of hav

Ing answered the jerk of a string.
"Very nice,” he said with careful
enunciation. Then, with a rather
ubrupt "goodby,” he turned and plod
ded his way out of the kitchen.
Katie flew past me to the window
as he closed the door.
"Vot you tlnk,’’ she queried ex
citedly. "Dot Chink, he coom In auto
mobile; big vun."
"Why shouldn't he, Katie?" I
asked.
"Oh. you tlnk eferytlng always all
right!" she said, tossing her head.
"But you know vot I tlnk?"
"Tell me," I said smiling.
"I tink dls all vun great beeg
.bluff,” she said. "Vy should he coom
vay out here mit nice ting fur
you? He no do dot for odor ’custo
mers.”
In obedience to a sudden, curious
impulse I hurried out of the room.
with an admonition to Katie to wait
until I returned. In my own room,
with the door dosed, I took down
the telephone receiver called two
women I knew were customers of the
laundry, and from them. In off hand
fashion, I verified the statement of
the laundryman that he had
installed tea and curios in
his shop. Both of them had re
ceived presents of ginger Jars, and 1
went back to Katie triumphantly.
"You musn't let your dramatic
ideas run away with you, Katie,”
I said smilingly. "He has started a
shop and he. Is distributing the jars
to his customers.”
"I no care,” she muttered stub
bornly. "Dot makes eet all more
bluff. Alvars In movies und plays
Chink he do dot—feex tings so efery

von't suspect. I tell you, dot old devil
