PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
in high social circles the girl who
wants to cut out another girl orders
‘mew dresses snd more hats. Among
savages she sticks on a few more
ibeads and feathers. But in some
| middle western towns she rolls up her
ves, opens the flour bin and cooks
moe calculated to knock the
igpots off anything culinary the other
gir! ever dared dream of.
. That was why Mrs. Fruby said to
ther daughter with a hint of excite-
{ment In her voice, “Try him on beaten |
scults, Sadie! And your chocolate
;marshmallow pudding!”
~ It had been hard enough all her
lite for Mrs. Fruby to be outdone by
Mary Sandler without having to en-
‘dure seeing Mary Sandler's daughter
iget ahead of her own Sadie. And of
‘tate Rosa Sandler had asked Peter
‘Vernon to dinner entirely too often
ito suit Mrs. Fruby’'s plans. So had
‘half a dozen other girls. For Peter
{Vernon was & matrimonial prize, the
e of which a small town does not
see more than once in a generation.
‘He had an interest in the big engine
iworks, which made money so fast
‘that it gave the populace the hie-
{coughs trying to count it.
Natural jealousy of Mary Sandler
made Mrs. Fruby consider Rosa a
‘deadly rival. Rosa was nearly as
pretty as Sadie and, moreover, she
‘was a good cook. So were Margaret
and Agnes and Carrie, other aspirants.

the beaten biscuit for that night's

coming. “Does your arm ache? Let

Peter Vernon liked the beaten bis-!

‘had two helpings of the chocolate

Shortly after that the local newspa-

Peter Vernon and Louse, the ethereal.
Mrs. Fruby, after a hysterical
scream when she read the news, told
Sadie plainly what she thought of
Peter. She talked so vehemently
that she did not notice how pale
Sadie’'s cheeks were. Sadie usually
“was stolid and nnmoved.

HER CHOICE OF METHODS.
Mrs. Briggs had passed the after-
noon at her club, where she had lis-
tened to a dear young girl, direct from
the chautauqua platform, deliver an
inspiring. uplifting discourse on the
benefits of moral suasion.
Therefore, when she arrived home
and was met at the door with a tale
of woe relating to the behavior of her
only offspring—of his refusal to go to
school, his stealing all the doughnuts
the cook had hidden for supper, his
unforgivable rudeness to his maiden
aunt and his taking his father's fish-
ing tackle from its sacred box and
mixing the contents together on the
parlor floor—of all these and sundry
other misdemeanors, each sufficient to
merit a physical reproof, she bit her
'lip nerveusly and asked where she
might find her sou.
Having found him in the laundry,
where he was prepared to spend the
night in case of necessity, she led him
gently up to her room, asking not to
be disturbed by any one whatsoever.
“Son,” she said, sorrcwfully. “I've
Leen told that you were very naughty
today.”
“Do I get licked?" asked son, irrel-
evantly.
“You realize, don’t you, that you
were naughty?” she repeated, ignoring
his question.
“Then 1 don’t get licked?”

“Listen to mother, dear.” Son

her lap.
“Gee, | ain't a baby,” he objected,
strenuously, as he wriggled away.

Mrs. Briggs breathed a deep sigh.
Then she began again: “Mother Is

you?
“Say, you've got powder all over
one side of your nose,” exclaimed the
object of her pride.
She wiped her face quietly, then she
waited a moment to collect her wits.
Her son didn't seem to respond to
mother love, so she thought that per-
haps she would better try something
else.
“When you refused to go to school
today, dear, you knew, didn't you, that
even if 1 didn't find it out, even if
your teacher didn't send a note home
to me, your conscience disapproved of
your actions? Your conscience was
sorry that you weren't trustworthy.”
“Teacher wouldn't have sent a note
home, because they haven't got us
fixed in our own rooms yet, and they
don’t know where we belong.” son ob-

“You knew it was wrong, too, to

He turned toward her. Huh?" he
