Hooting a Husband Sweet
and Sentimental Words Tend to Set
the Heart
ByVlrgiida Terhune Van DeWater.
When the quartet reached the street
a gentle rain had begun to fall. Beatrice
uttered a low exclamation of consterna
tion, remembering her dainty toilette,
then checked herself. It would not do tor
her to behave as it she were afraid of
spoiling her costume, new thi spring for
that might suggest to her admirer the
Idea that she did not have many other
such gowns. Every woman likes a pos
sible suitor to think that even In the
spoiling her costume, new this spring, for
working hours, she 1s well dressed and
appears as faultless In attire as when
she is with him, In public But Robert
Maynard had not been a married man for
seven years before he became a widower
without. learning a woman's thoughts and
fears about her clothes and be was quick
to suggest a taxlcab. V
"The ladles gowns will be ruined," he
said to George Minor. ...
"George, with his loving "wife upon his
arm, was less considerate than the
widower. I
"Nonsensel Bales and T have bees out
In all kinds of weather and it has not
hurt her yet! Moreover, we can take a
crosstown oar right here, transfer to an
uptown car, and go within three doors
of our house. It Is not raining bard, any
way." -
"Nevertheless," declared Robert, obsti
nately, "I am going to take a cab and
will see . Che ladles safely home." .
But In this Helen carte out boldly in
what seemed . to be assent to her ; hue
band's Verdict, but was really a further
ance of ner own match-making scheme.
"I wish you would take a taxi, Mr.
Maynard." she exclaimed. "Beatrice's
light dress will spot dreadfully with the
rain. This dark one of mine won't be
hurt, and, as George has said, we can
go home In the car without any exposure,
but Beatrice lives off the car line."
Here Beatrice entered a gentle protest
"Indeed, It will not hurt me to go In
the car, too," she began, but Robert
checked her.
"There is no use In argument," he said
gently, but firmly, "for I am going to
take you home in, a taxi, since" with a
bow to Helen "our hostess grants me her
permission to do so."
"You are doing ma a favor in looking
after oor dear girl" urged Helen. "Call
up your cab at once, and you two young
TuxinlA ret off before it rains any harder,
We old ones are going to trot right off
now for our car."
"We have had a lovely evening," said
Beatrice, kissing her friend, "and I thank
you for it" ;
"So do I", began Robert, but as the
crosstown car appeared at this juncture,
George hurried his wife away and , on
bsard of it. calling back an apology for
their hasty departure. -
Robert summoned the cab, placing
Beatrice to It. and seated himself by her,
after giving the driver the address of her
home and telling him to drive uptown
through Central , park. . 4. , v , -
"You don't mind, do you?" he asked of
the woman beside him. "It is much
quieter In the park than In the street,
although the route Is longer. But there
Is really no great hurry Is theref ' v
Beatrice reflected bow good It was to
be in. a position where one did not
care how fast the indicator hand went
around nor how many dollars It tioked
off. When she hired a taxi for herself
she wondered if she would not get eye
strain before her destination was reached
from staring fearfully ahead of her at
that moving finger" that never paused.
"I am in no hurry." she said leaning
back comfortably, "although I do feel
like a naughty child staying out as late
as this. Fortunately my dear little boy
and girl are fast asleep and could not
know whether I got home at ten or two."
"Tell me tbout them," said Robert
"How old are they?"
Beatrice was glad to talk of the chil
dren and to give him the desired par
ticulars about them, saying that Jean
was five and Jack seven, and going Into
many details of their bright and win
ning ways as Is the manner of devoted
mothers. It Is doubtful If her listener
appreciated much that she told him.
although he laughed appreciatively at
the right times. He was watching her
animated face in the dim light and find
ing hers a very charming personality. At
last she became conscious of his gaze
and checked her talk abruptly.
I must bore you!" she exclaimed
apologetically. . "I never thought "now
niuch X was talking about two little
people whom you ave never seen and
cf whom yu have never heard nntil
tonight" -

tested Maynard. "On the contrary, I
am "interested in children, ' although
with a regretful note in his voice I have
none of my own. If X had I would not
be so lonely as I am now and my home
would hold more charm for me."
Beatrice had an Involuntary thought
of self-congratulation that he had ho
children.' Even now she was conscious
of a pang of Jealousy toward the woman
whom he had once loved and she knew
that she would not be happy if she
knew that he had living children who
demanded his time and bis affections.
But she spoke sympathetically, chiding
herself inwardly for her narrow and
petty, thoughts.
"You must be lonely Indeed. But for
my boy and, girl I would often find life
too dreary to bear. But they make it
worth living."
Then she asked him if he would mind
telling her about himself, his work and
his Interests. He, Hke all men and most
women, liked to talk of, himself and
his affairs, and' before long1 he was
speaking of his dead wife, feeling per
haps that In conversing of her to an
other, woman he was making some sort
of . amends for having forgotten her
for most of the evening. Beatrice let
him talk on; In fact she forced herself
to eneourage him to(do so. Wb'ea at
last ha stopped as they neared . her
door, she thanked him for his confi
dence. . ;
"You see we bava both suffered' she
reminded him, "so we can sympathize
with aoh other." .
As he helped her from the cab be
pressed her hand Warmly.
"Thank you for yeur t sympathy,"
he murmured. "You ..would not believe
me If I tried to tell you how much It has
helped me," ' ,
He went 'with her to-the door of her
apartment, but she, mindful... of the
proprieties,' bade him gocl night there.
"It has been an almost perfect evening,'
she said, "and I thank you for all you
have done to make it so."
"And I thank you for making It en
tirely perfect for you have made it
that to me you and you only."
(Poor Helen and her theater tickets at
$2 each. But, after all, she might have
thought the game worth the candle had
she known of this conversation).
"May I call soon and see you and get
acquainted with the kiddles?" Maynard
asked as he held . Beatrice's hand for a
moment longer than was actually neoes
ux .-.,- : .. . : . .
"Certainly but please) let me know bo-
forehand when you are corning, that I
may be sure to be at home." she sug
gested. And, with a bright nod and
smile, she went into her apartment clos
ing the door softly, that the "kiddles'
might not be awakened. " '
When she got Into bed little Jean,
lying beside her, stretched . sleepily and
threw one arm about her mother's neck,
"I was . finking ' about you .la my
dweams, muwer," muttered , the little
girl. "And I saw a nice big fairy bwlng
lng you home."
"One did," whispered Beatrice, kissing
the child. But Jean was too sleepy to
ask for an explanation. .

- The next time you happen to te in

divorce court It is the most Haroun-

vaulted and floored with marble and
strewn with eastern carpets, forms the
setting, while husbands in turbans end
lawyers in tarbooshes, , white veiled
women and green robed, gray bearded
judges complete a scene which might
have been taken straight from the Ara

The women, closely veiled and hooded.

left in tha hands of a voluble and ges

sides of the great hall is an alcove, and
In each alcove, seated cross legged on a
many cushioned divan, is a green robed,
gold turban ed cadi. To him the hus

THAT ''GROWLED A LITTLE.' ')
Cpyrlght, 1911, International Jffsws Service.
The other day a man cams to ma.
bringing with him his son, aged 19. The
boy was quite as big as bis father. The
father requested that I would supply the
young man with a situation, in other
words give him a
job.
I quite liked the
looks of the young
ster and, also wish
lng to accomrao

oast around in my
mind for some place
that the boy could
fill. And my first
question . was.
"What can ths
young man dor

turned the calcium
on the situation by
promptly saying,
with a look or
surprise, "Why, he
can't do anything; he's just out of college."
Recently the Associated Press flashed
the news that J. Pier pent Morgan has
given to the Bowery Mission for
the benefit ef poor and needy college
graduates."
And this Is no pleasantry. As far as I
know nobody laughed.
Why are college kraduatss poor and
needy? Why Is anybody poor and seedy?

All down the centuries, men divided

There is only ens state la the union '
where school gardens and actual ou-o

lie school system,, and the result is ar
most delightful exhtbltion right at ths '
