"I don't see why you need worry like this about Clever and Duck Carmlcbacl, These things happen se often a few weeks after marriage," she told her mother. "Can't you see it's merely re action?

But this was the spring that her babies developed meaa lea, which meant ahe had little time for meditating upon a brlde'a tragedy ; lavender was at Ureadstalrs with the convalescents (Clever's check paying her expenses.) The attitude of Kesemary Meadows varied as her feeling toward ber own young man. On days wben Jim Helt, handsome, tactless, untidy and ardent, had made himself acceptable te her, she was half-disapproving, half-plain tin about Clever. "Mether. It's such a shame and a waits!

But it Is in the garage new I" "It won't be by this time tomorrow. I sold It for 1200 this nftcrnoen."

Clever, and her peer harassed Mr. Wright, the manager, had dlscuHsed this situation from every point of view during these last weeks; with the re milt that there had been set afoot a profit-sharing scheme with the em em peoyes.
