Mrs. Medbury'a Boarder
Ily L,. 1J. I.ANODAI.K
It was because Mrs. Medbury hated
the Idea of being alone In the house of
night now that Stella was away that
she decided to take a boarder, "a
single, respectable gentleman," as the
UptonvIIle News ran her advertisement.
The neighbors, coming upon the Item,
shook doubtful headu over It. Accord
ing to them, there wasn't a "single, re
spectable gentleman" left In UptonvIIle,
a remark open to misinterpretation, but
correcttly understood by those to whom
tl was expressed.
Fpr Uptonvlllc's masculine population,
If you excepted boys under twenty, was
entirely In the tolls of matrimony. On
what, then, could Martha Medbury be
basing her hopes'
Now It's possible that, nfter al.l Mar
tha had very few hopes, for when one
April morning they suddenly material
ized out of a clear blue sky, she was
completely surprised.
"Is this Mrs. Medbury"'" came a voice
from a pleasant-appcnrtng. fairly young
man who presented himself at the side
screen door as Martha was puttering
around her geraniums In the bay wln
'dow. "The Mil Medbury who adver
tised for a boarder' I'm quite er
respectable and I'm single. That is," he
Added as a sort of afterthought, "to all
Intents and purposes I am."
Mrs. Merbury was always convinced
that It was sheer curiosity Insplied by
these last words which led her to open
the screen divjr nnd affably Invite him
In to talk things over.
Not that the conversation which fol
lowed gave any clue to the odd kind of
singleness Mr. Caleb Stone which, it
seemed, was his name, or, rather, one of
his names laid claim to. Dear me, no!
That mystery wasn't solved until long
afterward, when his name was found
to' be, not Caleb Stone, but Eben Haver
ford. But to get back to the beginning ot
his stav with Martha Medbury. From
the moment of his adoption tnto her
household, Mr. Caleb, Stone aroUBed
much mmment and his method Of life
and schedule of habits underwent the
closest scrutiny.
"He doesn't do a stroke of work,"
contributed Sam Clark.
'"He gets a whole lot of mnll." vol
unteered little Miss Beacham, who as
sisted In the postofflce.
"He goes regular to me city on :
urdays." brought forth Ed Matham, Up
tonvillc's Btatlon master.
"I should think Marthv would be kind I
of nervous, having him round when
Stella's to home vacations :" piped up
old Mrs lli-asley, voicing the opinion
of the entire crowd assembled In the
church esir for consultation as to the i
advisability of new hymn books. "I'd
think twice about having any daughter ',
of mine, even If she was homely, j
brought under tho Influence of some
one what nobody knows nothing about!" i
Now. as It happened, Martha Medbury
was kecretly cnslderably worried as to
Just how Stella, due home for vacation
In a few days, would act about having
a gentleman boarder around the prcm-1
lses. Stella ni such a confirmed old,
maid, and ,i man-hater Into the bargain.
Her mother never stopped to reflect that
It was she who had made her daughter
what she was, preaching to her from i
childhood that men, at bent, were sorry
creatures and that It behootd all proper
young girls to beware of tnelr wlln.
She stilled her qualm'', however, by
assuring herself frequency that Stella
had no bublness e.xpectln her to run
the chance of righting burglars single,
handed and all that sort of thing which
appeared to be taking place eer where. '
and she, Stella, would have to put up i
with Mr. Stone as best she could
To the man himself she divulged the
Information that her daughter, a nice
girl but sometimes peculiar, wan ex. I
peeled homo for a time, assuring him .
that his routine should be in no wise
upset.
"Don't you worry a mite." she told
him. "You'll have our hot water for
having promptl at seven-thirty as
you've been accustomed, and your two
eggs, one fried on one side and one on
the other for breakfast Just its usual. '
This method of cooking hla eggs had
nrne to he a well-established joke be
tween them.
It happened that when Stella's train
blew Its whistle duw n at the station Mr
Stone was out ,md Mrs. Medbury
thanked heaen for a chance to explain
to her daughter the circumstances bo-
fore she learned them otherwise.
Rocking bnck and f' rth on the pori-h. '
dressed up by the addition of u fresh .
white afternoon apron, Martha re.
hearsed her speech of explanation whtlu
ho waited for Stella.

THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
By JEAN NEWTON
Build Upon the Rock
According to continental standards,
our men arc nothing short 6f boors.
Hut, while they may be cdmparatlvoly
careless of dress or indifferent of mnn
ner, where In nil the world Is there a
manhood of cleaner thoughts, of higher
ideals, of truer chivalry than burs?
And where nre there better hus
bands? Consulting the orncle we find It writ
ten that "It is n law of the universe
that the best things shall bo seldomest
seen in their best fo'rm."
In other words, the jelly is not al
ways on the outside of the cnkel And
the best people, the deepest, tho truest,
the stanchest, the most worth-while
have not always the most taking ways.
Particular "charm" of manner or
Inck of it bears no relation to n man's
real worth. And a character of true
blue is n far more valuable acquisition
for married life than art engaging smile.
Therefore tho girl is wise who distin
guishes between the fundamental nnd
tho superficial, between the fittings nnd
the trimmings of a man.
Men who could kjss a woman's fingers
with the air of petitioners at a holy
shrine have been known to beat their
h,Ihh Vm mnvtvf f t.h t-4ffr .trtllttlr
of-fact type of suitors have truned out
the most devoted nnu auectionaie huh
bands. It does not follow that the man who
sighs the most ardently and never for
gets to tell you, at least with his eyes,
that you aro the most beautiful, woman
in tho world, will make a. more endur
ing, more faithful or loyal husband
than the ono who is less demonstrative.
The most lavish suitor does not always
make tho most generous mote. And the
man who springs quickest to his feet
when you enter the room may not be
the one who would walk the'floor with
the babv.
Of course, the Apollo with the subtle
and Insinuating charm tnni mages every

sterner but sturdier, staff that nt close
range will make him lndctu your King.
Hut the evidence is against him. As
n rule men of real worth do not at
tempt to qualify ns drawing room orna
ments j they do not seem to be so In
cllned. Having directed, their thoughts
to things other than feminine suscepti
bility, they are less adept as charmtrs.
However," this is not nn arraignment
of the "attractive' man ns such. There
are men who, llko matinee heroes, are
both Charminr'arid good, which is indeed
n delightful combination. Hut like the
girl who has both extraordinary beauty
and extraordinary brnlns, they nre very
rare. And if, you have to choose be
tween the "plain but solid" husband
nnd one who is more dazzling but less
deep, remenlber that tho girl who stakes

The modem coat is allowed as much
freedom as the modern grandmother. It
really does anything it pleases, from
voluminous cape folds to the skimpiest
bodice and sleeves. Here is a new
model for afternoon wear that elects the
latter course of conduct. It is made
of white velvet nnd is trimmed with
heavy gray silk embroidery and with
dark gray fox. One interesting feature
is the incorporation of the small yoke
that has figured no persistently in the
smnrt winter frock. Another is the at
tachment of the side folds of the skirt
above the long line of the embroidered
corsage.
