right, either. I know Henry appreci
ate# what I do (or him, and he’a kind
and free-hearted, and all that. But.
Juat the same, unless a man shown
some affection for his wife, unless he
takes her In his arms once In a while
and tells her what she means to him.
It hurts pretty badly and It makes
her feel that she isn’t any more than
an ordinary housekeeper.
“So you’re going to sit up and listen,
Henry Elder, and show me a little
real affection from now on, or we’ll see
what's the matter,”
Nancy Elder was addressing the sil
ver framed photograph of her better
half that hung beside her own in the
living room of their farmhouse. -She
had reached this point when the sound
of heavy rack wheels driving In the
barn doors and a bellowed “Whoa,”
told her that Henry had come with
another load and was waiting for his
customary dipper of cold water.
It was not until after the supper
dishes were washed that night that
Nancy again found time to let her
thoughts drift along the line of mak
ing Henry sit up and take notlcst
Bobble ■ ml Anna were flatting their
Grandma Elder for the week and It

to aak the qoeotlott as he took the cup.
“She thinking about beM>f. There's
no more to tell now. Good-night"
And the little gypsy parted the silken
curtains for Henry to go.
It was very late when the Elders ar
rived home. Both had been silent all
the way. Nancy went immediately up
to bed without saying aa much as
“goodnight.” ^
Henry soon followed. He paused,
however, half way up the stairs, and
smiled to hlmsejf. Why not try the
little gypsy’s advice)
Nancy was sitting .before the little
dresser, taking down her hair. He
walked right over to whertf she sat,
and awkwardly placing one arm about
her shoulders and a hand under her
chin, kissed her squarely on the Ups.
Immediately two Aims stole up around
his neck and Nancy was sobbing
against his coat aleeve. He kissed her
again and again, calling her “my
! Nancy,’’ and telling her how much she
meant to him. And then, when she
became calm, he ventured to ask about
her engagement In the city.
| Nancy lifted her (Ace and smiled In
to his eyes. "Why, Henry, you weren’t
worried about that, were you? I had
to meet Mr. Brown, the decurator, In
order to make airaagementa for the
carnival."

Now, the only real reason for gli
offense In making an effort to repay
ilea In tbe awkwardness with which
such sn offer Is often made. To sug
gest baldly to pay what the damage
costs Is usually a tactless way to
go about It. In the case of the dam
age done to the automobile, even If
this Is slight, the guest should Inform
the owner of the car concerning the
damage, and then quite positively an
nounce his Intention of settling with
tbe garage man for the repairs needed.
However, if a mishap occurs to the
automobile that is obviously due to
the previous condition of the car, this
would hardly be necessary.
If the bric-a-brac or glass Is of
trifling value the incident Is usually
passed over without suggestion of
making amends. If possible tbe broken
article should be replaced by per
sonally buying one to take Its place.
If any damage Is done to some arti
cle that cannot be duplicated exactly,
the penitent guest should buy sorae-
thlag that he thinks wlH take its
place, and send It ss soon as p<»ssible
to his hostess, begging her to forgive
him his awkwardness.—Washington

and you will have very little picking of weevils and squares
to do.” Kill under sulks and sow gram for feed or soil htnkW.

F<>r the greater part of the evening
Henry remained alone, then Mra. Ed
Gibson sought him out and would not
be satisfied until he purchased a mys
tery package of her. Then he must
have his palm read, and she led him
off to a silken, tent. Mrs. Ed had a
curious way of making the opposite
sex do whatever she wished. So before
he realized It he was gently pushed be
tween the tinkling curtains and was
being asked to “please take the Jlttle
seat.”
On the tiny table -an Incense lamp
was burning, sending a purple and
fragrant vapor about the little room.
Madame, truly of a Romany type, clad
In long, flowing colors and wearing a
beaded Oriental bandeau over fore
head and eyes, reached across tha
table to taka hla hand. Henry placed
half a dollar In her palm.
