must do something, Frances all at

Aftermath
FRANCES never qulto forgot that din
ner party Her bucccbs was almost
Intoxicating Not only had she managed
to make herself attractive to the men,
but she was alone In the bedroom for
n. few moments with Mildred and Elsie
as the girls were putting on their things,
and Mildred said, with a wicked little
laugh In her eyes:
"Congratulations, old gtrl Dut who
on earth Is that, frightful little blonde
cat whose husband you v nmped so suc
cessfully?' . , , ,
"Poor child I'm sorry for her" Elsie
said from the dresolng table, where she
was adjusting her last season's hat
"She' so Jealous of Frances that she
noes things all crookedly"
' Nonsense," said Frances Her
cheeks were flUBhod The evening would
have been qulto perfect If Jerry had
responded In the least Hut his manner
toward her had been Just the same Not
once had he looked at her as George
Oraham looked at Mildred Her mild
little flirtation with Jim Hnrlowo thnt
had so perturbed Clnrlssa had not even
ben noticed by Jerry.
"If I could only get outside of the fact
that I am his wife" Frances kept re
volving around and around in her mind
He thinks he knows me so well thnt
anjthlng I do Is nothing but a phnso
Francos would havo been glnd at that
moment if Jerry had been utterly fu
rious After the guests were gone and
she faced him across the living room In
htr black elvot dress, tho high Spanish
comb In the loose waves of her ruddj
hair she would have thrilled to his
roughneas She would have welcomed
an sign of Jealousy. But Jerry did
nothing melodramatic. He yawned, and
If his eyes noticed with nny signs of
L.iini'mHnn thA fact that Frances looked
unusually attractive he said nothing
about it
"Did you have a good time, Jerry'
Prnncis .iskert softly That question
cilled for comments from him on tho
evening She was wide awake, shti
wanted to talk It all over, but Jerry
was tired and wanted to go to bed
He was In bed long before ho had
bgun to undress, with tho covers pulled
up to his chin and hla bovlsh head cud
dled Into the pillow IV.inces stooped
over him a catch of tenderness nt her
can
ance' I
heart and ho opened his ejet For a
moment 8ho thought ho was going to
pull her down to him, but he only smiled
good-naturedly nnd murmured tho most
plutonlo of sentences.
"Good night, old girl," nnd was asleep
almost Immediately
At that moment Frances could have
sat down and cried She was like manv
women Sho would havo proferred nc
'"'1 cruelty to Indifference. As sho took
mi iiiu uiuuK veiei tiress anil
up in ino ciosot on
ereu a utile. sno nnd paid nearly
nunureu uouars ror It and Jerry had
hardly noticed It. Furthermore, Frances
felt as though she had descended to sor
did nnd petty methods that evening It
had not been her wish to make Clarissa
unhappy, what eiie had w anted was Jer-
r s nomage, Jerry's ndmlratlon She
had thought thnt If she made herself
attractive to other men, Jerry could not
fall to respond liut apparently Jerry
knew her so well thnt ho could not sic
her through tho eyes of other men How
could sho practice tho wiles of a Cleo
patra when Jerry knew her ns she really
was; the girl who had paid for half of
her engagement ring? Certainly there
was nothing romantic about that fnct
Frances hated to remember It

Before Birds and Buds
When the bluebirds und robins mnlco
their appearance It Is tlmo to make
plans for starting garden work, but
several things inn be dono before the

delay when It is desired to start actual
operations say specialists of tho United

make sure It Is of tho best quality
Good seed will not sleep long In good

snvv Nellie nnywhere that Tom vvasn t
with her long before they were en
gaged, or, maybe they vvero engaged;
they ought to have been."
"I took Nellie to n dnncc one time
Inst winter, you see, nnd when I went
iiromid for her there wni Tom sitting
there as If he'd como to spend the eve
ning. . .
'It didn't worry mc nt nil, but It
JuBt sort of seemed ns If he might keep
nvvuy nl least on the evening thnt nn
other man wns taking her to n pnrty."
POOR Tom ! lie must linve had n ter
rible time.
Nellie is n popular girl, nnd there
nre always several invitations n week
for parties, dances, theatre, movies or
something of the kind.
When Tom came nlong she lost nil
interest in the other invitations, nnd
after they were engaged she didn't
rare whether she ever Raw anybody elso
again or not.
But since it wasn't nnnounced nnd
she had to keep it n glorious secret,
she couldn't very well refuse to go
with former beans unless sho could
think up n very good excuse nnd she
couldn't always think up another
"date" in n hurry.
So it was absolutely necessary, once
in n while, to go with somebody else,
and' on these ev.enlngs Tom could do
nothing but grnBh his teeth and tear
his smoothly slicked hair.
Do you wonder thnt he sneaked into
the house sometimes even when ho
knew that some one else was going to
be there?
ALONO engagement always comes in
in for n large share of criticism.
" hy don't they announce it, it
they're "engaged?" the friends of the
eonnlc want to know. "Or. of they
nren't engaged, why does he have to look
like siirh n benr when anybody tlnrcs
speak to her?"
"That girl oughtn t to let that mnn
monopolize nil her time thnt way," pro
test those who don't understand the sit
uation. "He'll scare off cverjbody
else, nnd pretty soon nobody will want
to go see her."
"Oh, If they'd only nnnounco it," ex
claim the intimate friends, "I'm so
sick of looking blnnk when anybody
asks me about it, nnd people nrc always
asking me."
No one is ever quite sure just why
the engagement is not nnnounced ; there
nre various vague rensons, the chief of
which is usually "Anyhow, it's none
of nnybody's business until we're tf.
to nnnounco it." " tnil
