A Lesson in Time . By J. K. MAL.SHALL (Copyright, 1819, by the McClure News. paper Syndicate.) There was no more devoted and happy couple than the Wards, who had been married a few short weeks; but today Helen was not happy. This was due to the fact that she had taken the time this morning to review the events of the past few weeks. She knew that Bruce loved her dearly, and in his good-heartedness would deny her nothing to make her happy. But oow she was to acknowledge he had one serious fault, which was a men- ace to thelr future happiness. belief that it was his sole right supervise everything about the house- hold clashed harshly with her free and independent ideas. Helen had religiously refused allow these thoughts to enter her mind until last evening, when they had en- tertained for the first time bo new home. She thought with a touch of pride Mrs. Warren would compliment her on the haven of delight that she and Bruce had created for their home. But what a bitter disappointment It ant exclamations from they viewed the furnishings, assume manner, with not one word of praise for herself. The realization of trait In Bruce had spoilt her evening. and she was unable to be the gay, light-hearted girl they had known. After the guests had Bruce had asked her wrong: but her efforts at departed what an expla- of resentment. Her gentle remon- strance at his persistently ignoring her, not only in the selection of the household furnishings but their ar rangement as well, had brought forth fromm him his declaration that he was master of his home. She realized the futility of further discussion of this subject with Bruce, because she knew him to be too posi- tive in his ideas thought all this carefully, made up her mind to change Yes, she would begin right She called her mother on the phone and asked her to go shopping with her. Helen bought new slik covers for the round cushions, new curtains for the windows and a beautiful rich brown cover for the library table. She had wanted these things In the ilving room, when she was first mar- ried. Well, now she was going fave them. Mother had always these things at home, planned the arrangement So would she. After they had she left her mother and went home. Hur#edly slipping Into har large blue gingham apron, she went to work. First, rhe took down the curtains in the living room. Mrs, O'Brien had cleaned the windows just two days ago, so she could now put up the new curtains. Then she opened her packages. “What a beautiful, rich golden brown,” she thought, as she held the curtains up to admire them. "And how well they looked with the brown rug!” Soon the room took on a new, pretty effect. True, the curtains and other things that Bruce had bought were lovely, but they were not just what Helen had wanted; and she must show Bruce that she, too, could plan and furnish a room with excellent taste, and that It was Ler right. Her work completed, would be a little more than before Bruce would have plenty and read awhile before starting prepare dinner. She had in the sun parlor a few minutes, try- fing to become interested In a late novel, when Bruce arrived. She saw him coming up the walk, carrying a square white box under one arm and a long box in his other hand. “Flow- ers and candy,” thought Helen. This had happened once before, when Bruce left the house in a bad humor after breakfast, because Helen had served bacon with their eggs, and Bruce did not eat pork “in amy way, shape or form.” Flowers and candy were his peace offering, which should cover any breach. Well, he must leern differently. She usually ren to the door to meet him, but today she pretended to be reading. Bruce entered the house and, plac- ing his packages on the table, he went to her quickly. “Helen, dear,” he began, to talk to you. It is night.” Helen gazed at him Why, what did it mean? This pent tent tone from Bruce. And he had never before sald he was sorry. Per haps she had been too hasty about buying the new things for the living room. “Oh, Bruce, walt! 1 want to tell you about this afternoon, I" She was interrupted by Bruce. *1 have been i selfish ead. 1 know how you must feel shout my select Ing everything for our home, and trying to supervise their arrange ment.
