As he was sitting in the market, St. Nicholas appeared before hiin. He had on his mitre and his long robes, jut as you see him in Kit's cake. "'Have you any pork to sell?' St. Nicholas asked the man. " 'Nr said the farmer. " 'What of the three young pigs in your brine tub in the cellar:' said St. Nicholas. "The farmer saw that his wicked deed was found out as all wicked deeds are, sooner or later. Me fell on his knees and begged the good saint to forgive him. "St. Nicholas said, 'Show me the way tQ. your house.' ."The farmer left his vegetables unsold in the market and went home 'at 'once, the saint following all the way. "When'they reached the hut, St. Nicholas went to the pickled pork tub in the cellar. He waved hh staff over the tub, and out jumped the three boys, hearty and well! Then the- good saint took them through tli woods and left them in sight of their own home."" "Oh. what a good St. Nicholas!" taid Kit and Kat. "Tell us another." "Well," said Grandmother Win kle, "once upon another time there waS a very mean man, who had a great deal of money that often happens. He had, also three beau tiful daughters fliat sometimes ' happens, too. -.."One day he lost all his money. Now, he cared more for money than for anything- else in the world more, even, than, for his three beau tiful daughters. So he made up his miivd to sell them!

"Why did he do that?" asked Kat. "Because the man was selling his daughters to get money. If he had money enough, he wouldn't sell them. . - "The first night St. Nicholas dropped enough money to pay for the eldest daughter. The next night he took a purse of gold for the sec- end daughter, and dropped down the chimney. It fell down right in front of the man, as he was getting a coal to light his pipe. The third night the man watched; and when St. Nicholas came, the door flew open and the man rail out. He caught St. Nicholas by his long robe and held him. " 'O St. Nicholas, servant of the Lord,' he said, 'why dost thou hide thy good deeds?' "And from that time on. every 0110 has known it is St. Nicholas who brings gifts in the night and drops them down the chimney." "Did the man sell his daughter?" asked Kat. ' . "No." said grandmother. "He was so ashamed" of himself that he wasn't wicked ahv more." (Rights Reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co.) Tomorrow St. Nicholas Visits the Dutch Twins. Have Root Press. Adv.

Snicker! Giggle! Grin! Howl! The Questions That Troubled Madge The Vow She Made. Am I a successful wife? Have I made my husband happy? If he were free to espouse a wife again, and had 110 feeling oftobliga tion toward 111c, would he, with all the knowledge of nic he has ac quired, choose me again from all the world to walk by his side till "death do us part?" These are the questions which arc beating on my brain today. These are the queries, the answers to which I mean to make it my busi ness to find. It is a time of matrimonial stock taking with me, this dreary day of earliest spring, when a cold drizzle outside, effectually banishing the sunshine, has found its reflection in my own spirits. I mean to cast up accounts with myself and find out if fhave been cheating Dicky, my hus band, in this matrimonial game, if perchance he has been defrauding me, or if we, after all, have struck a fair balance. Did I say matrimonial game? What a misnomer! If ever there was a serious, solemn biisiness in the world's whirl of 'affairs it is the business of marriage. And if ever there was a job requiring all the tact, ability and resourcefulness which a woman possesses it is this job known to womankind .of "hold ing a husband." I wonder if I have made good upon my particular job. I remember, .years before I met Dick)', hearing Mrs. Stewart, the dear old woman with whom my mother and I boarded, quote caus tically: "Any fool can marry a man, but it takes a wise woman to keep one." I have not thought of the words in years, but oday they have been ringing insistently in my ears. With them as, a yard stick I have been measuring not ojily my own marital career, but those of the people I have known intimately since that time. Lillian and Harry Underwood! Of course, Lillian's name comes first to my mind in any mental survey of my friends, for I hold her above all women, reverence her judgment and her high ideals. And yet, measured by the little yard stick, Lillian has failed, for two men "have called her wife and then deserted her. But was it possible for anv woman to have kept the love of either man? More potent question sun, was the love of either worth 60 seconds' of any true woman's ef fort? Honesty compels a negative answer to both questions. Both Dicky and I, her nearest friends, know how bravely and tru ly she tried to do the right thing in the harrowing situations which confronted her. I felt instinctive ly that if in that long past time when Robert Savarin, rising artist, had set the feet of Lillian Gale, eager acolyte, in the path she so ardently desired, he had also claimed the love he had unconsciously won, he would have been spared the years of mental darkness that later came to him because of another woman, and Lillian would have es caped the bitter unhappiness that has been her portion. She would have kept his love and reverence always I am sure of it and the grim determination rises within 111c unswervingly to further the lonely artist's seemingly hope less task of overcoming her Quixotic scruples against marrying him. By Other Standards. Jack Bickett and Katherinc? My tir.-.t1iAi--miicin nnrl th woman iriend whom I count next to Lillian in my scale ot mentis. 1 dismiss them quickly, for Katherine has "made good" if ever a woman has, and the bitterness which was their portion, and which it was my good fortune to dispel, was all of Jack's making, That they arc happy now in their western home I know by the long letters Katherinc sends me, and which reflect her moods in every line. Dr. Rraithwaite and Harriet, my husband's stately sister, their names always associated with Jack and Katherinc, because of that foolish, jealous obsession of Jack's which so nearly caused the shipwreck of two families. Surely, Harriet Braith harder to be a true helpmeet to her husband than anyl woman I have ever known, and yen I feel that she has not maae goou, for she has sacrificed motherhood lo her husband's career, and now as they approach old age there is no son nor daughter to make life worth the living. I cannot repress a shudder of hor ror as I think of the tragedy which Milly Stockbridge made of her mar ried life, because she had no con ception of any duty or responsibility as a wife, and indulged her own jealous, crazed obsessions until they finally killed her and nearly destroyed her husband. That the flower ff happiness which is unfold ing for Kenneth Stodkbridge and Alice Holcombe was only made possible in its blooming by that ter rible death, is the only gleam of light in all this sordid tragedy. It is but a. few months now until the end of the school year and the year of perfunctory respect for Willy s memory, and then tne two who have loved eachx-other hope lessly for so many years will be united. 1 have no tear ot Alice ue ;n imKU in hold her husband.

I return to the contemplation of my own problem with my spirits both staggered and strengthened. I have seen the stupendous task with which each woman I call friend has had to deal, but I have been heart ened to the thought that in any case where the man was a possible human being the game lay unmis takably in the wife's hands. And Dicky, bless his heart, is distinctly possible, however otherwise I may think sometimes when his instabil ity or his jealous rages make me suffer. My thoughts go back to my wed ding day, to the wild, wonderful bliss of that honeymoon time, yes and to the doubts that beset me even then as to the probability of happiness in marriage. How much I have learned since that time, learned that if there be no happiness "in marriage there is certainly nothing outside its charmed circle which -can bring such bliss and contentment that she and the man she loves belong to each other wholly, irrevocably, together, "for better, for worse," with all the rest of the world outside. Learned, too, with a tremendous fear at my heart, that there could be no greater tragedy in the world for me thary the loss of my husband's love. If I want any peace in this life it behooves me to make, good on my job as e. Curiously enough, it has been the trembling inquiry of a girl on the brink of marriage which has set me to the self-inquiry, the mental stock taking of the last hour. Leila Fairfax came to my room this morning. She is id be married to Alfred Durkce in a few weeks, and I have invited the motherless girl to be my guest while she is pre paring her simple trousseau. Put ting her arms around me she said earnestly, with a hint of tears in her voice: What Leila Asked. "Madge, dear, tell me I am so frightened isn't it an awfully ,hard task being a successful wife-? You and Dicky always seem so happy, and yet I know you must have had your iJhare of troubles as well as Sister says. the trouHe's done out r.?v lunun since We eat m Post Toasties other women. And I feel as if I knew so little, and and I do want to make Alfred a good wife.'! The tears were overflowing now. I saw that the girl was over wrought, and wondered for an un worthy, fleeting minute if her re membrance of little studio parties in which her sister, herself and Dicky had figured, innocently enough, yet without my presence, wis troubling her now that she her self faced the possibility of being the wife who stayed at home while her husband tnjoyed himself else where. But in another second I had banished that thought and was assuring her emphatically that all her fears were unfounded. "You . foolish child," I scolded. "There's one thing certain. A teary wife is the worst possible kind. So stop crying and listen to words of wisdom from an author ity. Yoivre going to make Alfred the best possible wife, and you're going to be idiotically happy. Now run along and dry your eyes, or Al fred will see that you have been crying and think you don't want to marry him." She tripped away, smiling through her, tears, and I have been sitting here ever since going over and ovcrf her question. "Isn't it an awfully hard task Uo ing a successful wife.'"
