A WiPfc'si Oon by~ Qldele Q'arrisoig It Aim for Madge’s Wounded Vanity. The sudden appearance of Dr. ivult's car accomplished In one second Ihe thing for which T vainly 1 (1 been longing during the miser able moments I was involuntarily perched upon "Lady's” back circling a ring, around which (he former circus unlmal was dancing. Jerry Ticer forgot the jest In which he was indulging long enough to lower the harmonica from his mouth, and ‘ lyady” came to an abrupt stop. But alas. The spot she selected for her halt was directly In front of the car In which Dr. Pettit ami the extreme ly good looking man with hint were Sealed. Upon the faces of both men lively curiosity struggled with good breed ing. While the physician's eyes held frozen disapproval, the dark eyes of his companion were dancing with amusement. Floutingly conscious of my tossed hair, my rumpled clothing and my whole ridiculous appearance, I echoed fervently the old wish con cerning the earth opening and swal lowing a person so humllated as I. But Fate, in the person of "Lady," had not yet done with me. In that ^^Sbg past circus career of hers, the pc sudden stopping of music while she W'as pirfBietting around a ring must have been a signal for her to cease her dancing and kneel down. At any rate, she no sooner had halted than I realized that (lie front part of her body was vanishing beneath me. The next Instant T was tumhled off over the mare's head In an Igno minious heap. "I,ady'' knew her husiness. I paid her that tribute when I realized that beyond h little jarring I was unhurt — bodily. But the Injury lo my van ity was a gaping wound and the rushing forward of T)r. Pettit and his companion was salt rubbed into it. Madge’* Poise. They must not guess my chagrin. That was the slogan beating into my brain as the two men bent over me. To toss my hair back, shake myself together and smile hrlghtly up at them took but a second hut it. was as strenuous a mental and physical performance as I ever had experienced. "Are you hurt?” The two mascu line voices sounded as one and there was deep concern in each. Perhaps it is my prejudice against. Dr. Pettit’s mnnnerism*. fostered by the memory of several unpleasant experi ences In which the physician has figured, but I decided instantly that I liked the stranger's voice mmh ihe better. Deep, resonant without the stodglness which deep voices often have, its timbre was exactly that which so handsome a mart ■safe mid posses. I made my Rmiie an Impartial thing, but. I directed my answer solely to Dr. Pettit. "A'nt in the least, I thank you. Doctor,” I laughed. "I am simply disappointed that you arrived at an Inopportune moment of the dress re hearsal, I am practicing the very latest thing In welcoming strangers to one's home, hut I have not quite perfected the final movements yet. You know a few generations ago, women made deep eurtsys, but I be lieve Paris has decreed the alight ing from a kneeling horse Is the latest word in salutations. If you will go away and return, any, In an hour, I shall be able to greet you properly.” Despite my chagrin I could have shrieked with laughter at Dr. Pet tit's frigidly disapproving face. Put a furtive upward glance from be neath my eyelashes at the other man revealed ryes brimming with mirth. There was distinct balm to my vanity in that face, for there was also mirrored in It an admiring ap proval which could not help being welcomed by any daughter of live. "This Is no jesting matter, Mrs. Graham," Dr. Pettit said acidly. “You do not know what Injury you may have sustained. Del us see If you can stand.” "No Harm Done!” lie put his hand mam my arm and the stranger stepped to my other side with his hand also extend. 1 in aid. But lightly shaking off the one and disregarding Ihe other, I sprang to my feet thanking my gymnasium training that I was able to do It with no apparent effort. "N'o harm done that a dry clean ing establishment cannot remedy.” I said gazing ruefully at a disreput able looking skirt. “So please do not worry about me apy longer. Jerry!” T turned Imperiously to the hoy, who was standing by eying me perturb edly, "take 'Uadv' away at. once. The children may go with you. And now.” T turned to the man, "may I not offer you the hospitality of the castle?” Dr. Pettit frowned. “Mrs. Graham, permit me, Dr. Meredith,’ he said stiffly, and his manner made the words an apology for Inflicting a hoyden like me upon his companion. “1 accept the hospitality gladly," Dr. Meredith said, “hut shall re member your promise to repeat this dress rehearsal a little later.” As he fell Into step beside me, I realized that Dr. Pettit's colleague was one of the men akin to Dicky and Harry Underwood, who can man age to make every inflection of voice, every glance from their eyes a subtle compliment to the woman with whom they chance to be con versing.

"This girl of yours must be a very fine spinner," she said. "Bring her to the palace tomorrow, for there is nothing that I love so much as fine spinning. If she Is as wonderful a spinner as I suspect, she shall be as a daughter to me and shall have my oldest son as a husband." The queen had noticed that, in spite of her tears, the girl was very beautiful. When the poor girl heard this she was terrified. She had never spun a thread in all her life and she feared that when the queen found this out she would he punished. However, she did not dare to say anything. (The girl's cloak should be colored tan and trimmed in brown. Cut out the circle for her face to show through. She will have to wear this cloak when she goes to the palace tomorrow).

Like everything else, it costs more now than it used to. But even at that, it costs you comparatively less than most of the other good things on your table. The price of Coffee today naturally seems high by com parison with the price you used to pay. But compared with the present prices of other staples, Coffee is still cheat). What else can you buy for the same money that will last as long and bring you as much genuine enjoyment and pleasure? Yet Coffee makes the meal!
