JOHN'S STINGY WIFE Walali) (@ by DJ ARAH POND was not a miser, She did not love money for its own sake. Far from it. But a pinched childhood and a half- starved girlhood had made her clutch eagerly each coin she hardly earned. If one understood it was pitiful; but if not, it was only sordid. And there were many who did understand. When she had and left her old state left, friends who had her way from farm kitchen to paid work. John knew her only as the valued secretary of the lawyer .who had successfully taken care of a little inheritance for him, what John liked about Sarah was the economy of her no loose ends, no flapping All trim and neat. Just the wife for him, he was sure. His growing lumber busi- ness in the Northwest had taken too much of his time to allow of woman interests. But now he could settle down—have a home. Sarah was the one to make that home—trim of his own pine boards. So he had asked her about It. And as she really thought she loved him, though she had seen him but a half- dozen times, she said yes, she would do her best to make him happy. That was all on either side. John thought it was quite enough, since he knew nothing of the amenities of courtship from any source. John was a business man. A good chooser of a bargain, he would say, looking at his wife-to-be, He was right, Sarah did not waste even ment. They were married and three years lived happily enough, ex- cept that John could not get his wife to spend enough money. To be sure he weat ahead and spent It himself on a handsome new house, with the furnishings ordered direct from the factory. He had some favors coming to him from the factory people, and Sarah did object very much to the cost, since he assured her that a great reduction had been made cially to him. ‘hen, as John had and was not as often on long woods trips to his timber tracts, trouble began to around the Pond home and snarl at the door, John awoke to the fact that wife was stingy. He was sure of it they had paid a call on a sick friend —a man who had done more than any other to help John in his first hard days. It was spring and John had In- sisted on taking half a dozen pots of plants the the ailing man, but as they invalid, not John Pond distant old make well- married home for a too, all those watched her she office dress— sleeves, is one senti- for not — EHO more leisure, away those creep his one day when for Sarah were leaving garden of finally agreed, the she sald: “Tn in the them after the felt his to hide f the over for the You plants are set send em pots need ont.” He of morning. wot face burning. —t0o crawl away out smilin friend That hav- gently ed “Sarah who ey ¥ lady was ing said pots if a Whey they 1 4 home, John told her and of so amused] Unconsc:. of wrong us Pots anythin and had cost money on were CPP Yen small sum. however, it he thought of her ways Ww gneec] several “close” she bh “It ad isn't as If we needed the pen- nies you save, Sarah. We don’t. And is a coinage so much more precious than gold. Don’t you know that?” No. Sarah did not. How could she—starving up as had? And somehow, she had never observed the ways of the world and its ethics In later and easier days. Perhaps her eyes were holden, At any rate, she resented her hus. band's reproof; and a quarrel was finally begun. “If you can’t appreciate my care for your money—we'd better go sep- arate ways—" she stormed. “I've never had any thought but for your Interest—I've gone without almost everything for myself—you've spent so much on the house—you're always spending so much. It's crim- tnal the way you waste money, John Pond. You can just go to the poor house—for all of me” Sarah's voice broke In a sob and she ran from the room. John was astounded. He had not known she could cry. As for not having things for herself-—how should he know? He had no knowledge of women or their wants, He was miserable. Perhaps he was a little reckless with money, but spending always In a large way had come to be a hibit In these plen- tiful years. He would think It over and he hunted for a cigar. Then de- cided he would smoke a pipe—it would be cheaper, Smoking and thinking and jotting down certain items on a memeran- dum leaf occupled the rest of the evening for John Pond. At breakfast Sarah was Inclined to be quiet, but John determinedly Ig- nored her attitude, He'd show her that he could come more than half way—and make amends, too, by George! She'd sec! He left for his office without the fasunl goodly kiss, and presently Sarah heard him driving solsily down the street. Ye believed In getting all the racket he could out of a motor- besidesg—there she car, perhaps regarding it In the light of an advertisement, Late in the afsernoon more jovial than Sarah him, She he returned, remembered could scarcely see his smile, though, for the stack of boxes in his arms, “Here — Sarah!

But I am some buyer myself! “Now, this is the way to dress my wife — look — the banker's wife's got no better. “And to think you've without all those pretties belong to look Sarah!” Sarah looked, She did have hysterics, nor yet cry, heen when at they you-—io not faint, Training is something.

The anniversary of a wedding day was an obvious op portunity of the sort and would gen erally be commemorated by a family reunion, while the fiftieth anniversary of a couple's marriage was sufficiently rare to deserve of extra celebration. So it became called a “golden” wed. ding simply as meaning a superiative occasion of the type, gold being » common symbolism, of course, for the best, It was not till we came to want a word for the celebration of a still tonger married life that we hit upon the phrase of “diamond wedding.” just as an exaggeration of the much older “golden wedding.” Only Domesticated Insects The silk worm shares with the honey bee the distinction of being the only insects in the world which have become domesticated.
