JANE was plainly carried away by the
first real romance that hnd conic Into
her lf. The reaction on her wan no
great In comparison with the wny her
first husbaliel liatl treated her thnt it
seemed In the rosy dajs of courtship
almost unreal. Hob was, so dear, no
considerate, so thoughtful of Joy, who
adored him, that Jane culd sec nothing
but happiness stretching before her in
treat waves. It almost took her breath
n'way.
Her need for money just nt present
was appalling. She wanted pretty
things, and she was kept close to the
wnll with the comparatively small salary
she received, so that she did not see
how she could go to Rob with her ward
robe even in fair condition. She hnd the
Idea that If once she could get her
things whipped into shape she could keep
them that wny.
Tor the first time In her life June was
netnallv icnllzine the truth about her
self. She know that she was careless
about things. She knew that she ought

"that minor things did count, but her
nature was hard to combat, and every
bit of sjstematic management in her
manner of living had to he forced.
Little things In her past life annoyed
her by insistently cropping up once in
a while during these das. One thing
In parncular she remembered with an
uncomfortable feeling. It hnd happened
during the first part of her marriage,
at a time whin she was beginning to
realized the time, and w hen she heard the
had leally married, nt a time when she
was beginning to renllze that her il
lusions were slipping om her.
She had turned almost pnssionntcly nt
this time to people created In her own
.mind in order to get nwny from sordid
' realities, nnd one nftcrnoon Rhc had
spent several hours in her room working
out a story. Darkness came before she
realize the time, nnd when she heard the
door of the apartment close all the lovely
Imnirlnntinn of the nftcrnoon slipped
nwny and she stood confronted by the
fnct 'that she had neglected her work
shamefully. After all, a. man hns a
right to expect certain things from his
wife a clean house and meals served
.regulnrly and few men, certainly not
Jane's husband, would understand the
urge thnt hnd driven Jane to pouting
out her heart in such a fashion.
She nut him in the dark1 little hall
they had only three tiny rooms nnd she
saw that he hnd bn drinking. His
face was flushed and a scowl of anger
swept over it as he glimpsed the untidy
rooms.
Jane, with the thrill of creation still
upon hei. lifted an eager face to his.
"What's 'a big idea?" he growled.
"I'r been writing n r.tory." she ex
plained cngerlj. "Come in nnd let me
tell jou nbout it, dear."
He flung off her arm and stalked into
the front room which they used as a
combination living and dining room the
little bedroom was just off this. Through
the open door one could glimpse the
unmade, beds and the littered bureau.
The cheap peeling wallpaper made the

' The table In the outer room was Btrcwn
?! nth tlm Hirrv hronkfast dishes that had
been pushed aside to make way for
Jane's writing materials. The place was
?t in a terrible condition with dirt nnd
J5 dust, but a man who had loved Jane
unselfishly might nave excused it ior
the exprcs3ion'v)n her face, that glad
look that Bhe dfd not wear often these
days.
He stood still nnd his eyes traveled
swiftly arbund the place, Jane's follow
ing them fearfully.
"Some place," he sneered, "and some
wife for a man to come home to. You
look as dirty as the place, and I'll bet
you are."
It was a brutal thing to say and ut
terly uncalled for, no matter what had
been the cause, and Jene whitened under
It. A terrible wave of hatred swept
over her, but down underneath she
knew that In a way she merited it. She
naan t even Domerca 10 uress, uuu uc
still wore the dirty old kimona she had
slipped on that morning to get break -
t fast in. There wasn't a vestigo of din
ner on the table nor even in prepara
tion in the ketchen, and at the thought
of facing the array of dirty dishes, to
say nothing of pots and pans stacked
np in the narrow little kitchen, Jane
turned sick.
Without n word, she hurried out
13 there, however, ana Degan to open a
U couple of cans. v
He followed her and stood by tire
j door.
Under his gaze, dark and glowering,
J she was- nervous and cut her hand on
i one of the cans. She dropped it and,
f woman fashion, put her lips to the
r. wound.
T "Cannetf stuff!" he sneered. "Well,
-&? I'm not going to eat any of it. You're
a fine housekeeper, you are, and this
f2 . hole's a ifine place for a man to come

He flung himself out, and because she
felt that there was some justice in what
he said she followed him.

I could speak and explain, and she was

dirty dishes flanking it. She breathed

j for a moment: then she went into the
I kitchen, put the canned stuff away and
began to clear up. It was after 11
! o'clock before she was finished and the
apartment was in order. Until then

T jTS
11 sn am
Since a season's success is gauged by a sea
son's 'hats, we may expect much of Autumn
1919. Never were hats lovelier. The golden
lights of brown in all their shadings hold first
place among colors a hat of wood brown with
fine gold fringe edging the brim and crown ; an
other of golden duvetyn with shaded velvet pan
sies applique on the crown with brown chenille ;
another made entirely of copper-colored velvet
softly draped.
Of course, there are many delightful black
hats of plain or panne velvet and here and there
a touch of the monkey fur that Paris is advocat
ing. For facings soft shades of strawberry pink
or twilijrht blue are being used.
Summed up, it is a season of more trimming, more color and more charm than
we have known for many years.
Prices are very moderate, starting as low as ?8 and $a.50.
