keep on working. Lookt shabby,
you know,"
Jill pondered this thoughtfully,
"But if the wife wants to work,"
she began.
"Other men doot think of that,"
said Jack. They sr a married
woman working, and then they no
tic everything her hutband docs or
has. If he has a new necktie or a
new pair of gloves they wonder if
his wile's money bought them."
Jill grimaced,
"tJooducM, are men as catty as
that?"
"Sure they are," said Jack calmly.
"And it' natural that they should
think so."
Jill plucked nervously at the soup
spoon. "I was thinking it would be nice if
I could get something to do," she
began tentatively.
Jack gave her a hard stare,
"You don't mean go and get
job?" he demanded
Mis Jill-girl nodded.
"Not if I know it." he said sternly.
"Any little time that it is- necessary
kt you to get a job it will be be
cause I have lost my health and
strength."
"Hut for ju.t for a little while till
I ran get a fur coat and"
II ut Jill stopped shorply as she law
the pained, unhappy expression on
Jacks face. She hurriedly skirted
the table and laid her soft round
cheek isaint hit.
"Oh, honey," she whispered. "I
didn't mean to say anything to hurt
my boy." She kissed him tenderly.
"As far as the fur coat goes, I
don't want any old fur coat," she
said. "Why, 1 wouldn't have fur
ecat. They're awfully common,
anyway, and..my green broadcloth is
ever so much more stunning."
"But maybe, in a couple of weeks,"
started Jack tentatively.
"No, sir, not a "bit of It." epostu.
kited his Jill-girl. "I just wouldn't
think of it, you old dear."
And just then the door-betl rang
and a delivery boy staggered in with
a huge pastboard box. And once
the twine had been clipped and the
cover thrown off, Jill eyes went
round as saucers, icr there lay a
beautiful fur coat.
"Oh," she cried.
And she turned to attack her terri
ble husband, but the brute had fled.

pleased her at all to have one 'of
her neighbors do better than she did.
That was only her way of boasting
that no one could beat her.
If anyon- happened to mention
speckles, Henrietta Hen was certain
in speak of her own. claiming that
they were the handsomest aiid most
spcckly to be found in Pleasant
Valley. And if a person chanced to
say anything about combs, Henrietta
never failed to announce that her's
was the reddest and most beautiful j
in the whole world. 1
Nobody could ever find out how
she knew that. She had never been
off the farm. But it was useless
to remind her that she had never
traveled. Such a remark only made
her angry.
Having such a Rood opinion of
herself, Henrietta Hen always had
a great deal to talk about. She kept
up a constant cluck from dawn till
dusk. It' made no difference to her
whether she happened to be laone
or with friends. She talked , just
... the same though naturally she prc
i ferred to have others hear what she
said, because she considered her r'e
C wards most important. .
There were times when Henriet
ta Hen took pains that all her neigh
bords should hear her. She was
never, so proud as when she had a
newly laid egg to exhibit.. .Then
at ordinary ciuck ; was noi .long
pn mich to exoress her feelings. ' To
. announce such important news Hen
rietta-Hen never failed to raise her
vnirfl in a. hieh-nitched "Cut-cut-cut,
or sne wanieu cvciyuuujr iu
that Henrietta Hen had laid another
of her famous eggs.
After such an event she always
went about, asking people if they
had heard the news just as if they
could have helped hearing her silly
racket. -?i '
i Now, , it somttimes happened,
when she was on such an errand,
that Henrietta Hen met. with snubs.
Now and then her question "Have
vou heard the news?" brought such
sallies as these: "Polly Plymouth
Rock has just laid an enormous
ecrgl Have vou seen it?" Or maybe.
"Don't be disappointed, Henrietta 1
Somebody, has to lay . the littlest
ones." .V
Such jibes were certain to make
Henrietta Hen lose her temper. And
she would talk very fast (and alas!
very loud, too) about jealous neigh-

of their praise that they couldn't say
a good word for the finest eggs that
ever werexseent -;,-
On such; occasions Henrietta Hen
generally talked in a lofty way about
moving to the village to live.
"They think enough of my eggs
down ;there," she would boast.
"Boiled, fried or poached, scrambled
' or for an omelet my eggs can't be
beaten." .. : '
"If the villagers can't beat your
eggs they certainly can t use them
for omelets,"' Polly Plymouth Rock
told Henrietta one day. "Everybody
knows you . have to beat eggs to
