MISHAPS
By Ellen Adair
When Greek Meets Greek
AHECENT newspaper case Illustrates
.the professional Jealousy which a hus
band can feel toward his wife and his
wife's" work, If that work happcnB to
coincide with his own chosen career In
life. In this Instnnce, the parties In tlio
case were engaged In the same business,
that of dressmaking and tailoring..
Although the wife hat) really built up
her husband's business through her own
ability, for five years he consistently Ill-
treated her.
Klnnlly the lady aummovd Up sufficient
strength of mind to tako the case to
court, whereupon the husband, who had
been suffering from a bad attack of pro
fessional Jealousy, due lo renllzlng that
his wife's brains were the belter of the
two, was commanded to make an allow
ance of S6 a week toward the support of
his child, who, of course, was left In
the custody of the wife.
The wife then went Into business for
herself and was pretty successful therein.
Unfortunately, however, she had opened
her new establishment In the same street
as that of her late lamented consort, who
pretty soon ceased payments of the week
ly allowance on the grounds that she
wns taking away trade from him and
bringing loss to his business by the pop
ularity of her own.
Tho case was nsaln taken to court.
Whereupon the recalcitrant gentleman
was-forced to pay tho three months' ar
rears of the weekly allowance, und
emerged a wiser It a sadder man.
This case la an Interesting one, for it
affords a clear example of sex Jealousy.
The problem of the wage-earning wife Is
one which Is hard to soho Just so long
as man will be egotistical and sultanlc
In his views.
"I was an experienced business woman
when I married my husband," said one
woman, "but I had to give up my work,
for my husband was Jealous of the fact
that my position was better than his own.
Wo were In the same firm, you see, and
the other men probably goaded him by
commenting on the fact that my position
was superior' to his. So, for the sake
of domestic peace, I retired from business
life and lead a unlet, rather humdrum
existence within the four walls of homo.
Of course, 1 am sorry that 1 had to give
my work up, but then I didn't want lo
cstrnngo my husband's affection alto
gether. It was a case of either giving
tny outside work up or giving hint up.
And, of course, I chose tho former. Vet
t can't help wishing that there was no
such thing ns professional Jealousy be
tween husband and wife."
It Is perfectly true that the average
man being very human, does not like to
be professionally eclipsed by his wife.
I know a young doctor who married a
very capable woman doctor, and the cou
ple at llrst practiced together. Hut 3hc
was more populnr than he and this
proved the rift within the matrimonial
lute. However, being a wise woman,
she took a wise step, and opened an of
llco for herself at the other side of the
town, where she Is very successful but
her success no longer minimizes nor
clashes with that of her husband.
Of course, the young couple see less of
each other than they did formerly. But
they live In great peace and happiness
now, for business relations no longer mar
domestic ones.
In the Ideal marriage tho husband Is
tho mental superior of the wife. Everv
woman would like to have her matrlage
according to this order. But many bril
liant women cannot find their mental su
peilors among the men they meet, and
so they have perforce to be content with
second best.
Where true love exlst3 there Is really
no chance for the survival of professional
Jealousy. For the success of the wife
will bo at once the jo and pride of her
husband's heart.

The Moon's Gift
ONCE- upon a time a moon fairy slid
down from the moon on a ray of
light down to the earth below.
Plump! and he struck the earth right
at the end of a big porch.
He found he was pretty tired after his
long; sail, and he. decided to take a nap.
So he snuggled down among the vines
and grasses and went to sleep.
When he woke up the sun was ahln
tPBV the birds were singing: and the whole
?arth was full of the happy stir of work.
Jut aa he was looking around, a big
yellow and black bee came singing along.
"Pear me,' exclaimed the bee when he
s&w the fairy "who are you and where
did you come from?"
"I am a moonbeam fairy," replied tho
little stranger, "and t have coma down
from the moon to bring a present to the
arth."
"A present!" exclaimed the bee. "Is tt
anybody's birthday?'
"Np, indeed," answered tbe fairy, "this

The making of a vegetable garden Is an
exceedingly Interesting matter, and It re
pays one amply for troublo taken. First
of all, the growing of tho vegetables
themselves Is fascinating, and all the
time one finds new things to learn.
Moreover, the vegetables can be turned
Into money, for there always will be a
dernand for home-grown stuff. Tha
housewife Is constantly In need of fresh
vegetables.
For the making of a vegetable garden,
one really ought to start In the fall and
carefully prepare the ground with a
ggod manure. The soil should be thor
oughly dug, the manure laid on and al
lowed to stay all winter. This should be
done before the ground Is frozen.
As a fertilizer use ground bono or
bonemeal and wood ashes combined
with manure. Many people llko to have
a combination vegetable and flower
garden, and this does seem an attractive
arrangement, because the study of both
vegetables and flowers Is an Inexhausti
ble matter.
The planning out of the garden should
really be done on paper; lettuces and
radishes, for Instance, being sown half
and half In one bed, while the second
might have beans, the third tomatoes
and the fourth beets,
It Is a good plan to have the front beds
planted with flowers, for these screen
the low growing vegetables and give a
smart air to tha garden.
Nasturtiums always look well and give
a garden a very gay and cheerful ap
pearance. They climb over everything,
too, and have a delightful habit of cov
ering all sorts of unsightly spots, even
rubbish heaps.
Scarlet runners are also beautiful and
make a gorgeous splash of color, while
others that might be mentioned are
phlox, scablpsa, verbena ami nlcotlana.
Late corn should be planted after the
lettuce and radishes are out, and then
more lettuce, corn salad or endive after
the beans are out. In this way the veg
etable garden keeps one very busy and
affords constant occupation. Naturally,
one wishes to have the land In use all
season.
If radishes and lettuces aro sown In
the first row they may be followed thero
by the sowing of nimuie-seasou corn.
Similarly, when the early beets aro out
of another row, they may be followed by
cauliflower or eggplant.
The bed In which tomatoes are grow
ing may boast of cabbages planted be
tween the tomatoes, so that all available
space Is fully utilized. The tomatoes will
be out In time to give the cabbage ample
time to head.
One ought always to keep in mind that
It 'doesn't do tor let two vegetables of the
same botanical family follow each other,
for they would then draw the tame ele
ments from the sell and spoil Its effi
cacy. Green beans should not be followed
by lima beans, for Instance, and allTnera
bers of the cabbage family are likely to
have the same diseases.
Tho looks of a vegetable garden can
be exceedingly smart. If a, little trouble
be taken at the outset. The entitle eye
can accoQitlfeb, much. For Instance, bava
you ever heard of a lima-bean wigwam
of poles, supported at Its base by let
tuce or cabbage? It certainly looks very
pretty, and the combinations otie can
achieve aie endiebs in their variety.
Tho Japanese have many excellent Ideas
on the decorative garden qtistlon. This
also applies to the vegetable garden, as
well as to flowers. The "radial" garden
is pretty, being laid out In rows all
proceeding from one central point. Ono
must consider relative heights and meth
ods of growth nnd more particularly a
color scheme. Parsnips, rhubarb and kale
are all suitable for this plan.
The thinning of plants Is a matter In
which the amateur gardener frequently
falls. It docs seem a heartless thing to
do. but It Is very necessary all the same.
The stay-at-homes, seedlings that are
allowed to remain where seed was sown,
need to be thinned aa carefully as possi
ble, the first tlmo being when they hove
attained a height of about two Inches,
and In fact sometimes sooner than that.
The soil must be well firmed around the
remaining plants, for If that Is neglected
the roots may loosen, and the plant will
then wither and die.
One's gardening outfit always must in
clude Instruments for spraying the plants,
as certain dangerous Insects, Buch ns the
May beetles, or "June bugs," as they are
often called, destroy and kill,
In damp weather It Is necessary to guard
against bean rust. This makes a rusty
spot on the pods, and Bordeaux mixture
is n sure cure, The only danger of this
Is that the beans are apt to retain a little
of It when they go to table.
In the growing of potatoes there aro
very many things to contend with. The
Colorado beetle Is a decided enemy, while
scab and blight are ruinous.
The Daily Story
Woman
More human, mora divine than we
In truth, half human, half divine
Is woman, when good stars agree
To temper with their beams benign
The hour of her nativity.
The fairest flower the green earth bears.
Bright with tho dew and light of
heaven,
Is, of the double life she wears.
The type, in grace and glory given,
By soil and sun In different shares.
O Woman-mother! Woman.wlfol--The
sweetest names that language
knows!
Thy breast, with holy motives rife,
With holiest affection glows,
Thou queen, thou angel of my life I
-J. G. Holland.
Pellham's Loan
Pellham nervously paced the platform.
In 20 minutes the train would come and
take him away from ltotnh and his brief
dream of paradise. It would take him
back lo town and he would try lo forget
that lie had ever been engaged to Alice
Carver.
It was funny, he thought, that they
never should have had disputes until they
had become engaged, but since Christmas
eve, when he had slipped tho ring upon
her finger and had assured her that It
bound her to him for life, thero had been
nothing but misunderstandings, culmi
nating In the dispute of last night, when
she had given back the ring nnd had left
him with head erect to break down when
she reached her own room.
The Carver houso party had lasted well
Into tho New year, and there wero still
half a dozen guests at the big house, lie
wondered bitterly If Alice would be en
gaged to Jordan before tho party broko
up. Jordan had kissed her under the mlB
tletoe Chrlstman ovc, and Jordan had
beon tho bone of contention over since.
He was so occupied over Jordan's short
comings that ho never noticed Kay Grcs
slt's approach until she tapped him light
ly Upon the arm.
"I'm In the most awful fix," she
laughed. "I came to the (station and never
icallzcd that I wns a pauper. Can you
let me have $207 There Is rio tlmo to
send back to Carver Castle."
Pellham performed a lightning calcu
lation, ills ticket had cost him $3.10.
Thill fiom $J) left fll.GO. It would never
do to confess that he did not have It. Fay
would gloat over the fact that she had
caught Dob Pellham penniless. Ho raised
Mr hut.
"Coilalnly," ho said. "Walt hero and
I will ptirchaso your ticket and look
after your trunk."
Ho stepped Into the waiting room nnd
stayed thero long enough lo purchaso
u ticket. Ho remembered It had taken
him about three minutes, and at tho
end of a similar pcilod ho stepped on
tho platform again with the pasctoboard
mid change In his hand, as If ho had
just come from tho window.
"It will be real nice to have your com
pany to town," she said. Bob colored,
"t'vo chanced my mind," he explained.
"I'm not going to town this morning.
May wait until the last train."
"I will have father send a check to
your club." she smiled ns the train came
In nnd ho saw her settled In the chair
cur. "i suppose l snail see ou ai ioi
llns' Monday?"
"Surely," he smiled, as he raised his
hat and made for the platform, but ns
the train grew smaller In the distance
hu became less confident. 11 .wns Sat
urday afternoon. He could not wire
to his ofllco for money They closed at
noon and It was 11 now. Ho might
try the boys, but most of them wont
out of town over Sunday. In any event,
he should hate to explain that ho had
left tho Carvers In such a huny that
ho had not even had time to send for
funds. Ho made his way to the little
hotel, where the landlord's curious glances
mado 111 in realize that the tiansfer to
the hotel would excite curiosity.
Ho began to feel that he had acted
very foolishly. If ho had confessed to
Fay that he only had $10 that would
have taken her to town or told her to
send up to Carver's and have taken tho
next train! Now It looked us If hd should
have to stay In tho town over Sunday.
Tho landlord could not cash him a
check, so he took a room and mado his
way to It. After the comfoit of Carver
Castle, the dingy room, with Its sheet
Iron stovo and florid wall paper, seemed
Intolerable, but It was better than wan
dering around town nnd perhaps running
Into Frank Jordan.
Ho welcomed a knock at the door. It
could only bo tho porter with coal or
the chambermaid with towels, hut some
how he felt as If ho had been stranded
on a desert Island and ho welcomed tho
advent of anyone. He sprang (o his feet
as ho cried, "Come In!" and confronted
Frank Jordan.
"Vou will pardon my breaking in upon
your solitude," began Joulan, "but Miss
Carver sent me for you."
"How did sho know I was here?" he
demanded suspiciously.
"Miss Gresslt sent a telegram warning
us that you wero still In town and asking
us to look you up?"
"Havo ybu the telegram?" asked Bob.
Jordan shook his head.
"Miss Carver has that. Sho Just asked
me to look you up. I say, old chap, J
feel awfully cut up over last night. There
really was nothing to It. Of course, I
know how you feel. When a fellow Is
first engaged he Is Jealous of the rest of
mankind. Good Lord, when I was first
engaged to Fay r used to be Jealous even
of her riding master."
"You engaged to Fay Gresslt?" shout
ed Bob. "I thought you were well, In
terested In Alice,"
"Sure I'm Interested," agreed Jordan.
"She's been a sort of fairy godmother to
Fay and me. You know Mrs. Gresslt
does not approve of me; thinks I'm not
a good match for Fay, and If It weren't
for Allco I don't know what we would
have done."
"I suppose everybody Is laughing at my
staying behind," said Pellham, weakly,
"Don't know anything about It." de
clared Jordan. "I can let you have what
you need and you can go right on to
town or you can come back with mo and
simply explain that you changed your
mind. If I were you I'd go back. Allco
says you havo a ring that belongs to
her."
"I'll go," said Bob. "Help me get these
things together."
Some hours later Bob and Alice sat In
the music room while Jordan was doing
his best to hold the rest of the crowd In
the library with parlor magic,
"I'm awfully glad you came back. '
whispered Alice as she slipped her hand
the one with the ring on It Into his.
"I think Fay Is'the smartest girl I know,"
"But what made her think I was going
to stay over?" he asked. "I told her I
was going down op the next train."
"Sho saw you buy your ticket and that
there was only one bill in your purse.
She knew that If you stayed over there
would be a chance for an explanation,
so she borrowed every cent you had and
telegraphed us from the next stop Just
What she had done."
"I think," hald Pellham Blowly. "that I
nwe Fay a great deal more than she owes
roe." ,
"I should hope," said Alice, "that you
value me at more than twenty dollars."
"Dear," he whispered, "you are without
price."
"Without money and without price,"
she quoted. "You without the jnoney and
I without the price."
