But her hands were so unsteady that she could scarcely hold the needle. Inei was greatly agitated. Her plump cheeks glowed, her dark eyes sparkled, her gray hair was. not so neat as usual. And at four o’clock in the afternoon she had not yet changed^ from her cot ton house dress to the dark silk she always wore. The most wonderful thing in the world had happened. After twenty- six years of quiet wedded life, with stem economy practiced in every de partment of her tifiy household. Inez suddenly found herself in command of money. Not Just money—money. It had come about in the most unex pected wsy. The small business st which Lewis had worked so long snd so hard against such discouraging odds had suddenly opened up into aston ishing possibilities. It had been of so much use in s merger that Lewis had been offered s Mg sum for it He had, of course, sold out, for he was fifty four years old snd s bit tired. Lewis had never had a vacation in all the years be had been struggling and planning and be was going to have one now—s long vacation full of rest snd sight-seeing and quiet luxuries. Like Lewis. Ines bad never bad a vacation. She had been on ber Job twenty-four boors every day. raising babies, keeping boose, mingling with the neighbors, sewing, cooking, scrub bing. carrying on a thousand activi ties.

But when It was over (net was gtsd to be oo her wsy back borne, for they bad bees away three months The morning after they reached home Beverley rushed over, trundling the baby, Lewis William. In his rub ber-tired carriage. For an boar Ines could do nothing bat feast ber eyes oo her first grandchild. Then she began to bring forth the gifts she had bought for her children snd friends. Beverley exclaimed over the wisdom and love that evidently gov erned tbelr selection. "And now, mom." Beverley said when there came a lull In the fascin ating review, “I want to see what you got 1 for yourself.” “Well, I had to have a pair of shoes,” Inez said. .“And I got me a small hat And a few underthlngs. And some stockings—” “The dress, mom! Didn’t you get the dress?” “Bev,” Inez said, looking flushed and guilty, “you will think I’m silly. But, you know, I Just made up my mind that I’d have something so dif ferent that everyhody’d know it came direct from Paris. I didn’t care whetherf it was so awful becoming. I wanted it—different.” *T understand,” said Beverley. Tnez went to her closet and took a dress off the hook. When Beverley saw it she gave a start and gasp. "I told you it would be different,” said Inez. It was different. No mistake about that. It was slinky and sparkly in places. Green! Such a green! Bev erley bit her lip. Inez looked at her wistfully. “It’s different, anyway,” she re peated. “Yds.” Beverley pot her arm shout ber mother. She also made a repeti tion of ber words—“I understand."

Oh, but It was good to be walking the old streets again! The dear shop windows! Seemed like they had perked up some in her absence. This window of Werner’s store now— she stopped to peep in. Suddenly Inez turned white. She turned red. She looked round to see if anybody was watching her. Then she went into the little shop. Tkat evening she came to the party wearing a simple black crepe that had been one of her standbys on her trip. Everybody said she looked fine. She did.*; Beveriey took her aside. “Mom I I thought you were going to wear your Paris dress. What in the world made you change your mind?” Inez fingered the beads on her daughter’s white neck. She looked almost shy. “The Joke is on me, Bev,” she said. “I—I went into Werner’s this morn ing and they had a dress—” “Not—” breathed Beverley. Inex nodded. “Yes, It was. The same. Identical,” she confessed. fm Beaufort, 8. G, Jobs S, 1930.
