The Girl Herself I'd like to see
Lillian's face when she reads the so
ciety news if she ever does anything
so Intellectual as to read! She's al
ways been perfectly crazy about Bob
and she'll be utterly furious! She'll
try to make people think she could
have had him if she'd wanted him,
but every one knows how she has
chased him for months. I wonder If
any one will send Arthur a paper.
Poor boy! It will be such a blow to
him! If ever a man was devoted to a
girl he was to me. I'll always- feel
that I've ruined his life. He's one
of the constant kind that never gets
over such a disappointment. I wish
I could decide whether I want a white
satin or a crepe meteor wedding
dress.
The Man Himself Yes, they've got
my name spelled right, after all. Gee!
It's something like reading your own
obituary notice, it's so formal! Any
how, it's nobody's business but ours
and I don't see any use of all this fool
ishness in print! Every idiot I know'H
be around to see me to-morrow and
tell me how to be happy though mar
ried! Well, it will settle McKenzle
all right he won't be sending Edith
flowers now in that airy, oh-I've-got-a-
chance-yet way of his. I always want
ed to kick him. Robert Rogerson
Fairburn yes, that's me, all right
Well, life begins to look real and earn
est now. I wonder if Ethel won't
kind of think when she reads this that
maybe she wasn't so bright after all
running off and marrying Smith just
because she had quarreled with me,
She's had three years of pretty rough
sledding with him. Of course it's all
for the best so far as I'm concerned.
but I wonder!
uman-wnat! you don't tell me
Bob Is really engaged to Edith! Well,
what do you think of that! It's most
remarkable how men do these weird
things when they are reduced to' des
peration, isn't it? Poor Bob! Of
course Edith is a very nice girl so
capable and domestic and all that
but, my dear, did you ever see a girl
so dowdy, and with so little style? I
am sure Mrs. Noah did her hair up in
precisely that same way in the days
of the ark. Bob always did love pret
ty things that's one reason he hung
around me so much. Some men never
notice a new gown or a smart hat, but
he always does. No, I'm awfully fond
of Bob, but mercy! I never could fall
in love witn mm! Never! I sup
pose he realized it at last! Poor Bob!
Arthur Hello! Edith's going" to
marry Bob Fairburn! Well, well!
Nice little girl, Edith! Seems to me
I had a crush on her myself once.
She had the biggest brown eyes no
that wasn't Edith it was Mabel.
remember now that Edith's eyes were
blue. Or were they hazel? Where In
creation did I put that tobacco? Hey
Ferguson! Got any tobacco? ;

So Edith is going to shake us all for
Bob Fairburn! It was worth the flor

seemed to think that every one was
in a conspiracy to take his girl away
from him. Edith's too quiet for me,

PLANNING
A GARDEN
Ethel (who married Smith) Oh,
Teddy! Guess who's going to get
married now one of my old beaux
No, not that one Bobbie Fairburn
Why, of course you remember him
He took me to that party where
first met you and was crazy mad be
cause you had four dances! I used
to think I rather liked him, but that
was before you came along! I can't
imagine why I ever was so foolish.
Goodness! What it I had really mar
ried him! I had an awful time work
ing up a quarrel with him so as to let
him down easily. I hated to be down
right brutal and drop him, so I seized
on the first chance for a fight. It was
awfully funny, now that I think of it!
Well, Bobble was a nice boy in his
own way. I wonder who she is
I never heard of her.

Edith's Relatives (individually and
collectively) Well, I suppose .this
means another wedding present It
was perfectly idiotic of grandfather to
start that custom of always giving the
brides in the family solid silver. Some
thing less expensive would do exact
ly as well. I suppose Edith will ex
pect a huge tray Just because ' her
cousin got one from us. Maybe we
can strike a sale. Anyhow, she is
throwing herself away on Bob 'Fair
burn. His family are simply nobodies.
Well, she's 26 and I suppose she had
to take what she could get.

Bob's Relatives And when he had
such a good chance to marry Senator
Goldmine's daughter! And her shaky
social position and her father and all!
Why, he's simply burying himself.
Bob always wa3 stubborn. What can
he see in Edith? She simply angled
for him, that's all, and a man is so
helpless! Poor Bob!
This country could no doubt be run
a great deal better if it wasn't for the
constitutional objection an American
has to letting anyone run him.
Just what father will say I have no
idea," began Doris, swinging a pink-
checked sun-bonnet over the porch
railing. "But it was his letter that
really started me. So he is partly to
blame if he doesn't quite approve. And
he does want me to stay outdoors.
"Everybody finds me out here, and
don't pretend to apologize for envel
oping aprons and garden tools. I've
dragged up enough porch furniture so
that I can entertain people and now I
don't interrupt things to dress. Out
here ginghams do very nicely."
It is a charming porch," remarked
Louise, with a slight shiver, as she
carefully rolled oft her delicate gloves
and lifted her fawn-gray skirts slight
ly. "But the yard Isn't it a bit dirty,
even for ginghams?"
Now, for goodness' 'sake, don't be
snobbish," pleaded Doris. "It's love
ly. And weren't you the very person
who advised me to give up the winter
term at school and come home, where
could get well making flower gar
dens? That was the very day father
came for me with the news that this
house in the suburbs was ours. I
came on to find snow everywhere and
no possible chance to do anything but
plan. Just when things began to get
sunny father was called away on this
tiresome business trip. Through my
conscientious efforts mother's life was
made a nightmare until she got father
to send a long list of instructions and
plans for the garden.
I started that very day in earnest.
Father wrote : 'Have the garden spaded
and arranged according to these plans,
and when I come Doris can do all the
planting under my instructions.' I
can see his smile as he wrote that.
What will he say to this, I wonder?
You see, I had already made plans
of my own. He had sent for lots
of horticulturists' magazines and in
one of them I found a glorious plan
for a formal garden just the size of
ours. Of course father wasn't spe
cially interested in the flower side of
it at all. He is so crazy over sweet
corn and summer squashes that he
can't think of other things. When
he told me how much of the ground
could be mine I kept the plan to my
self, for there seemed such oceans of
time to discuss it. ''After he went
south I talked it over with mother,
and she wrote him about some of my
plans. That was why he sent his.
So we started in, making every now
and then a few changes that didn't
really matter.
"Mother protested for a time, but
she hasn't said a word for a week
not since I started to dig the pool for
my irises and goldfish. Yes, that's it.
In the center will be a bank of gravel,
but there will be a mud bottom for the
long roots. And I had pipes laid, so
there will be-a continual flow of water
across the pool. Of course there is
the water tax to think of, as mother
says, but maybe we can get a special
rate, since we want to use so much
water. Most things are cheaper at
wholesale, you know.
"Along the sunny fence I've planted
hollyhocks and cosmos and coreopsis,
because they 'make amicable com
rades when shoulder to shoulder,' as
my book says. Father's corn was to
have been there, but it can go some
where else just as well, and think of
the difference in the looks and on
the most prominent side of the yard,
too!
"The beds all cirque about the Iris
pool and the paths are to be of grass,
with a four-foot border with sweet
alyssum, pansies and foliage plants,
Just like the parks. And there are my
poppy beds 'nymphs even in the
heart of flowerdom,' my book calls
them.
"That pillar? Oh, that is my sun
dial. Isn't it sweet? I had to have
one, for this article says: 'About the
sundial clusters all the romance of
the ages. It is enveloped in an atmo
sphere of poetry.'
"Mother and I had our most serious
discussion over that bed on the north
side of the yard. I have to wait for
father before I shall know about my
summer house. There I shall serve
tea, with rambler roses and clematis
and wisteria climbing all about! Fa
ther had selected that side for his
asparagus beds and they were already
started, so I yielded to mother in that.
I love asparagus, don't you? And if
I must do without the summer house
I'll have the vines over the porch, as
mother suggested.
"Other vegetables? Well, yes, fa
ther wants them, and I am worried
to think where he can put them.
Why, he even wanted pumpkins and
cantaloups. I ,have left a bed for
lettuce and radishes and such pretty
things as that. The book advised it.
As for the rest, we can buy all the
vegetables we want from the truck
farmers around. I inquired about
that.
"I haven't written father my entire
plan. It will be such a nice surprise
for him, I think. Besides, it is so com
plicated that he couldn't have under
stood it in a letter. I did write about
moving the tomato- beds away from
my hollyhocks and he telegraphed me
to let them alone, so that discour
aged me.
"I have a suggestion, though. If he
can't find room for his corn here, why
can't he buy this empty lot next to
us? He could have a regular farm
there. He is coming home to-night
and that is the first thing I want to
talk to him about. Don't you think
he'd like all that space for vegetables?"
IS!
