SABEL NEWMAN was thoroughly
normal despite her gusty temper
No amouut of social dissipation
had seemed to subdue her abound
ing energies and level cheeriness till
now but on the morning after the club
cotillon she resolved to bring herself
to a saner outlook whatever the cost
It had all begun with Dudley Jones
rushing the eldest Miss Iteagan
Dudley was ever keen after novelty
and visiting girls Consequently at the
dance Isabel had not refused Knapp
Chiltons conspicuous attentions Last
night had achieved the crisis
It was a great relief to be off -with-the
old love Isabel told herself the
morning after She would rise su
perior to sentiment and regret be equal
a
to playing fate to
her own destiny
But as the day
waxed the saner
her mood became
the more complex
her environment
As a beginning
the household de
scended to find
itself breakfast
less Cook was
reported ill and
was sent home
fifteen miles dis
tant in charge of
Milly the house-
IIER OWN WOES LIGHT- maW Tuig fc
EXEI
a sorvantless day
In some fashion the children were
dispatched to school and Mrs New
man ventured forth to keep an engage
ment with the dentist And then with
zeal such as an unquiet soul be
queaths Isabel entered upon the
household orgy that was to drown her
sorrows She flung aside last nights
storm and stress got on her working
garb and proceeded to spree in com
pany with the latest improved step
ladder bucket and soap rack Win
dows minus mantels ttoors came un
der water With the disappearance of
each pail of grimy suds her own woes
lightened hence with the exception of
hearths and tiling in the reception hall
spollessness reigned speedily
Another bucket of somber slop to be
disposed of sent virtuous thrills riot
ing through Isabels tired body its
ebon hue being a visible token of her
accomplishment The blacker the
scrub water the more virtuous Isabel
With a commendatory glance about
the Heckles kitchen she went to the
sink and turned
the hot water
faucet No out
put She tried
the cold That
too was obdu
rate She flew to
the bathroom No
hope there What
can it mean
Hello central
Give me the wa

youre working on the new house Iu
the next lot Well its mighty un
comfortable Do you understand we
havent a drop on the whole place
Send out for some Yes but you see
I cant not a servant here and I
she giggled irrepressibly into the re
ceiver I cant thats all For heav
ens sake turn it on as soon as possi
ble Not before 6 dont like to prom
ise Horrors The receiver went up
with a click
Just then Miss Newman caught sight
of herself in the full length mirror
You object she shrieked Milly
could somersault in the coal cellar and
not look like that Well the house Is
clean if Im not But if a prince came
a wooiug water water everywhere
but here Not a gill to do or undo
niy face with
Catching up an unomptied bucket of
grimy suds she spread wide the liont
door for more light and frenzied 1 at
tacked hearth and tiling humming a
fragment from last nights one divine
waltz Avith him a world of sentimental
pain in the pulsing measure
Then a crunching of gravel as a car
ki
riage brought up
at the step was
heard and be
fore she could
retreat or close
the door a mans
a oice inquired of
her back Is
Mis Newman
in
The amateur
char w o m a n
sprang to her
feer -the scrub
bing cloth drop
ped into the inky
pail and she slip-
iionROKs 1cd deftly be
hind the door but not before glimps
ing two dainty figures in the waiting
vehicle
Dudley Jones growing impatient
asked Is Miss Newman in
She aint at home sir the hidden
personage answered in a suspiciously
thready voice
There was a twinkle in his eyes and
stepping within he pried forward the
door and coolly looked her over in
wardly contrasting this exponent of
the grimy side of labor with the blue
gowned maiden of the previous night
An old friend with a new face he
said tentatively towering above the
girl in his blond immaculateness his
gaze scanning the dubious spectacle
The Ceuci you recall how I always
Insisted on the likeness and wanted
you to try it for a masquerade You
have I see said he jubilantly in
dicating with an ornate gesture a
contaminated pillowcase wound tortu
ously about her bronze hair below it
the mosaic of a dirt smitten coun
tenance
I hate you she said venomously
and theres no masquerade about it
Hoav dare you come here after last
night
Its because of last nierht Im here
The Misses Reagan the club honorees
you observed them desire to pay
their respects before leaving I sacri
ficed myself on
the altar of
oo
SQ
courtesy They
await j our lady
ship without
Courtesy Let
them wait
Sure but I
cant you see
His tactics be-
and the girl found
herself backed
into the Indian
alcove w hich they
two had built and
adorned Ive
w
been waiting and THE attack
so I shall just take what belongs to
me
A blush disclosed Itself amid Isa
bels facial decorations The bow
nnd arrows over there are yours and
the What will those girls think
youre doing in here so long
Their thoughts dont concern me
he answered superciliously But if
they propound the query Ill remind
them of the day and say I was mere
ly claiming my Valentine
The 14th is it
It is He gathered her Into Iiis
speckless embrace and despite her
struggles laid a kiss upon one be
smirched cheek A peck of dirt be
speculated musingly sotto voce If 5 a
peck isnt It or a bushel Well no

There were leven or
eight
If I counted em
straight
As lovely as ever youll
see
With posies

and vines
And mottoes and lines
All printed on purpose
for me
But the one mamma
made
Put the rest in the
shade
When the table for dinner
was set
For a cranberry tart
In the shape of a heart
Is the jolliest Valentine

is love One touch of love will heal
all wounds that hate inflicts
Love is true ingenuous and blind
Nor Avill It be wed to envy or deceit

of ill foreboding for love is gentle
eyed and credulous as a suckling babe
fears naught nor falters at anothers
