How She Ruins the Home
tfhe man of moderate means who la
married to an extravagant woman Js to
be pitied mora than any othor creatttro
Under the sun. For he la up against a
proposition as old aa the hills, and ono
which brings moro matrimonial unhappl
ness than can be easily calculated.
Only tho other day I heard of a caso
where the wife's tncurablo extravagance
ruined her home, her own prospects In
llf,e and at the same time made completo
shipwreck of her husband's career.
"When wo were flrst married," said sho
In a dreary, despondent tone, "John and
I lived together very, very happily. I
had been brought up so simply, you see,
that tho fact that he only had a limited
Income didn't In tho least alarm mo.
Upon tho contrary, I thought that It was
fun to manage and plan out tho spend
ing of that Income My tastes wcro very
simple, and never In all my life had I
tasted luxury.
"For a long tlmo we were quite
wrapped up In' each other. Any small
pleasures we could afford and wo only
could afford simple little affairs were
enjoyed by mo with as keen a relish as
that felt by any millionaire's wlfo over
some wonderful event that had cost mil
lions tc accomplish. In fact, I believe I
enjoyed myself more in theso simple lit
tle pleasures than the wealthy woman
ever ould do over anything grand and
exponsive, since, after all, pleasure Is
"only relatlvo and does not depend on
money.
"Things went along very happily for
a long time. Tou are the best wife a
poor man ever had, Mary,' my husband
used to say to mo proudly. 'I can't
think how you can plan and scheme bo
cleverly In the spending of our small
Income. You seem to make things go
twice as far and last twice as long as
any other woman I have ever seen or
heard of. Yet, at the samo tlmo, every
thing looks so nice, and you manage to
make such a good appearance In every
sort of way that I always know the
other men are envying me.'
"Of course I was pleased what woman
would not be at such words of praise
from the lips of a husband sho Idolized?
"Not long after the above conversa
tion my husband got a raise In salary.
It wasn't a very big raise, but still, In
view of our limited means, every little
bit counted.
'1 remember we had a long talk the
Sight he came homo and told mo about
his good -fortune. And although he want
ed to make me a present of this extra
money every week to use for the buying
of pretty odds and ends and for my own
personal pleasure, I refused to accept It,
and Insisted that wo lay. It aside for
the proverbial rainy day.
" 'You are so wise and sensible, Mary,'
Bald John. 'Most women would Jump
at the chance of having a little regular
money of their own coming In every
week. But you are superior to all other
women.'
CHILDREN'S CORNER
CHIRP'S WINDOW GARDEN
OF course, you remember tho hungry
little sparrow whoso name was Chirp
and who was fed by some children when
the snow covered the ground.
Chirp hung around that old bare Christ
mas treo that tho children decorated with
food till every bit of popcorn and grain
and crumbs was eaten up. Fortunately,
by that time the weather got much
wanner and the enow melted enough to
show spots of ground through the gray
whltness, and Chirp had no trouble in
finding something to eat.
Bnt ho was a grateful little sparrow,
and ho didn't forget how the children fed
EgaHK ! 1
Shu brought with her what looked to
Chirp JlJfca a whole garden,
hitn when ha was so very hungry. "1
think I'll fly up closa to the window some
time," no said to himself, "and show
thero that I like them."
60 he watched carefully to see which
wsjs their window.
After many days of reconnoitring he
decided that the third window on the
oond story was tho ona where the chil
dren were the oftenest to be seen. "So
that J the window where I "will Eol' he
asid, and away ho fiew toward the sill.
How It happened that at that very mln
ut S-year-oia Helen finished her "home
work." and strolled over to the window
to mm If she could think of anything
tn do. And what should she see. but a
emitting little sparrow fly straight toward
her own window! Flying as If he really
meant to coma to that particular place
d pay her a visit!
Ho stopped on the sill an4 cocked his
m& mm Mwh aa to say: "See! I am
!! Thank you very much for the
brmMtwi you gave met"
Why. It's the very sparrow we

"Not long after that conversation new
arrivals came to the neighborhood. They
proved to be a young couple, tho wife
somewhere about my own ago. Sho
didn't wnlt for mo to call on her, but
came at once to call on me. How shabby
and old-fashioned I felt myself to be
when she walked Into our small parlor.
For she wore the loveliest clothes, and,
although Bho was not half so pretty as
I was, the effect of her get-up was to
make mo utterly Insignificant.
'The main theme of this woman's talk
was clothes, clothes, and then again
dottiest It certainly was her ruling pas
sion, Sho quite Infected mo, too. How
could I holp being Influenced when I saw
how splendid sho looked?
"By a strange coincidence, John came
home that night with a beaming face.
'I've splendid news, Mary,' he cried, "I've
Just been promoted to a Job that offers
twice the salary I have been getting up
to now. Aren't you delighted?'
"Of courso I was delighted. But this
tlmo the uppermost thought In my mind
was that I could now dress as finoly as
this smartly-gowned woman who had
come walking Into my home to upset my
peaco of mind.
"There isn't much to tell after this. For
from that night I became suddenly launch
ed In a sea of extravagance. Tho spend
ing of money, wild spending, reckless
spending, any sort of mad spending so
long as It was spending, became my rul
ing 'passion. Men have vices such as
gambling and drinking and dope, but the
woman who has oxtravagance In her
blood can beat them all! And extrava
gance was my besetting sin.
"Of course, John loft me. Thero was
nothing else for him to do. Ho couldn't
euro mo and I was ruining him, had
ruined him completely before ho left me,
for tho matter of that. I am torturing
myself by going over this old story for
ono purpose only. And that Is that other
women who are now happily married and
have needlessly extravagant Instincts
may be warned by my example and pull
up In timet"
My Love
Perchance you have met my lovo
A-wanderlng down some country lane.
When all the sky was blue above,
And sunlight fell in golden rain.
And roses here,
And roses there.
Along tho path bloomed everywhere.
Perchance you looked Into her eyes,
Like violets, all purple deep.
And tender as the twilight skies,
So luminous with thoughts they keep.
Where roses sweet.
With mystic spell,
In drifting showers of petals fell.
My love, perchance, you may have met;
I have but seen her in a( dream
A face with eyes of violet.
Aht still to me most real they seem.
Those roses here,
And roses there,
That by her path bloomed everywhere.

I have anything he would like?" She
thought a minute and then she remem
bered the pot of Engllah Ivy which grew
In the nursery window on the other side
of the house. "Wait a minute, little
sparrow," Bhe called to Chirp, "and I'll
show you something that you haven't
seen In many a day, something green and
summery looking." And she turned from
the window and ran across tho hall.
Chirp didn't understand why she had
gone, but Bhe had looked at him so pleas
antly that he decided to wait a minute
and Bee If she wouldn't come back and,
of course, she did.
She came back so quickly he didn't have
time to get lonesome.
And she brought with her what looked
to Chirp like a whole gardenl It was a
grea crock of English Ivy growing over
som$ hi h wires stuck in tho earth be
side It. If you have seen such a window
garden yourself you know exactly how
Chirp, liked to Bee It, tool
He hopped up close to the glass and
chirped and rang as best he could. It
made htm, happy to see so much green.
After that Helen left the Ivy In that win
dow and Chirp came every day to see it

I THE DAILY STORY
The Lay of the Land
Tho novel was Interesting; the ham
mook was corafortablo; there was Just
enough breeze, coming clear and cool
across tho lako and through tho gorge,
to rustle the leaves of the Indian pipe
vine, climbing over the porch.
Felicia March, turning a page of that
interesting novel, felt at peace with all
tho world. Never was there a better com
bination of hammock tale and afternoon.
She had not read a paragraph when
somewhere In the distance there arose a
low, throbbing hum. It grew In volume.
The peace of the early September after
noon was rudjly shattered by the panting
of a whirring motor. Nearer It came.
Some one plainly was driving at a. pace
which sot at naught nil tho speed laws of
the community.
Felicia lifted her eyes from the page.
Down the road, rapidly approaching, was
a great cloud of dust. Even as she
looked the dust cloud turned In between
tho gate posts at tho ond of the drive,
swept along the box-bordered path, and
came to rest with a clang, a clatter and
a wheezing cough, at tho steps of the
porch.
Then the dust cloud whirled on, leaving
to view as dust-covered and plainly hard
driven road car, out of which a perturbed
young giant was Just stopping.
Felicia scrambled hastily out of the
hammock.
"Why, Peterl" sho said In surprise.
"What on earth brings you here and at
such a pace?"
Poter amy came up the steps. "Trou
ble," said he succinctly. "Felicia, tell me,
did I propose to you last night at the
boat club's hop?"
"Did you what?" said she sharply,
"Propose to me? Most certainly not I"
Peter Gray collapsed Into a nearby
wicker chair. "I was afraid I hadn't,"
said ho miserable
"What on earth do you mean?" said
Felicia.
Peter coughed. Ho pretended to be pick
ing threads from his coat.
"You ,see, It was awfully dark on the
boath'ouse piazza," said ho, "The wind
had blown out all the Japanese lanterns.
As I say, It was dark, and I was awfully
flurried and then some on came poking
out there right In the midst of it and
so it wasn't you?"
Felicia began to smile comprehendlngly,
"Ah," sold she. "I think I begin to see.
You've blundered again, as usual, haven't
you?"
Peter Gray did not look In the least re
lieved. "Say, this is dreadful," said ho.
"really dreadful." Ho wiped his forehead
and sadly shook his head, "Who on
earth was It?"
"Well, do you expect me to find her
for you?" she asked.
"No," cold. Peter; "no, of course not
I couldn't expect anything like that I'm
dreadfully upset. You see, I thought It
was you, Felicia I was sure It was
you. Why, I could have swom It
was you until you let Jimmy Reed take
you home In bis car afterward Instead of
me. That made me begin to think that,
what with the darkness and the way I
was flustered up and all, there might
have been a mistake."
Felicia Bald nothing. Peter proceeded
to mop his dripping forehead. The cor
ners of his mouth were drawn down lugu
briously. He looked at the moment, Feli
cia, could not help thinking, amazingly
like some sadly disappointed little boy
who was about to burst Into tears,
"It Isn't a bit funny. It's tragic." Peter
chlded her. "Why, hang It all, FeUcla, I

A Gown of Painted Chiffon
I have Just seen such a. quaint old-fash,
wed gown of painted chiffon, and I don't
loned
know when I admired anything so tnuoh.
Tho skirt wan extraordinarily wide, llt
ornlly yards nnd yards around tho bot
tom, and It fell In tho softest, most grace
ful folds.
The bodico was very simple, and a wide
flchu was worn with It
A quaint little hat of barnyard straw
completed the costume, and It wao worn
at a decidedly tilted angle.
I had a letter this morning from a girl
In Paris, Mnrlo Dubois, with whom I used
to regularly correspond. Bho onco visited
mo here In America and many times has
asked mo to so over to stay with her In
Parle. Onco this dreadful war Is over I
Intend to pay Mario a good long vlelt.
"Tho women of .Paris," wrltos Mario,
"realizing tho business situation, havo
laid their mourning aside, and In order to
improve trade conditions are wearing as
smart clothes tut ever. The appearance of
spring gowns and spring millinery In all
mean to propose to you I've boon trying
to get up my courage for cons and ages.
I wouldn't havo proposed to any other
girl for tho wholo world. I never should
havo dared then, but the darkness gave
mo courage I couldn't bear tho Idea of
being turned down where It was light
enough for you to soo me. Oh, yes. I'm
a coward, for all my big hulk. That's
another thing that made mo suspicious
I'd made a botch of things. You didn't
seem a bit Inclined to turn me down; In
fact you wcro Just going to say yes, when
the intruders came poking out and "
"Kindly remember It wasn't I, Peter,"
she reminded him.
Ho mopped hla brow hurriedly. "Yos,
yes, of courso," Bald ho, "You would
havo turned mo down, wouldn't you?"
Felicia looked at him queerly. Sho
started to say somothlng, then bit her
lips and flushed a bit "You funny In
fant!" sho said Instead.
Peter sat up. "Say, I'm homely as sin,
and I'm a clumsy brute, in mind as well
as In body," said he. "But I'm not wholly
bad. Felicia."
"Indeed you're not," sho said.
Peter Gray made certain throaty Bounds,
Indicative, if ono were to Judgo by the
light on his face, of great and uplifting
Joy.
"Do you mean I have a show with you,
iFellcia?" ho blurted out, leaning oagorly
so far forward In tho chair that he threat
ened to upset it. ,'iSay, Tra crazy about
you, Felicia, and "
Felicia straightened up In dignified fash
Ion. "Poter! Tho very Idea!" sho said with
well-simulated horror. "You, an engaged
man, talking to me like this."
"Oh, thunder!" said Peter, remember
ing what ho had Just been tolling her.
"But, say; suppose It had been you out
thero on tho boathouso piazza last night.
I repeat, supposing It had been you;
what what would you have said?"
"That's not fair."
"Well, fair or not what would you hava
said?"
"I shan't answer."
"Tell me you'd have turned me down."
She said nothing.
Peter got up nnd began to pace the
porch with nervous strides.
"I I " ho begnn, stammerlngly, at
length. "Felicia, will you marry mo?"
"Good heavens I How many glrla do you
wnnt to be engaged to at onco?" she
gasped.
"Darn It!" said Peter, "I believe you
would have said 'yes' If that had been
you on tho piazza. Would you?"
"It's too late to think of that Just now,"
said she.
Peter reached her side in one mammoth,
Joyful stride. In another moment he had
lifted her out of tho chair and was hold
ing her close to him.
"I know It now," ho cried happily.
"Peter!" she choked, struggling to freo
herself. ''Peter! For shame! You
musn't. You're engaged to that other
girl, whoever sho Is. It Isn't my fault
you made such a mess of It Let me go,
Peter. Do you hear?"
But for all her pleading Peter merely
held her more tightly.
"Listen," ho said chuckllngly. "There
wasn't any other girl. I didn't go near
tho boathouse piazza last night. I I in
vented that tale td find out tho lay of
tho land here. I was coming over to ask
you to jnarry mo this afternoon. When
I got here I had cold feet I didn't dare.
I was sure you'd never havo me me,
clumsy, honwjy old Peter Gray. I didn't
dare come right out I wanted to find
out If I had a ghost of a show first.
8(f "
Felicia ceased her struggles.
"Well, of all the nerve!" sho com
mented. "Or, lack of It," chuckled Peter, bend
ing his head to hers.
