"What do you think of me, my blessed darling? Listen, dear; do you hear me?" "Yes, I' hear you, Jim, and it makes me so happy," I said. "What did you think of me for racing off so madly, dear I was completely taken by surprise. Uncle Ned never give me a hint that he'd want me to come along.

"You weren't here" I tempor ized, forgetting how miserable the day had been because it was so kind now. "Otherwise its been lovely. Sweet letters. Beautiful gifts." "I'm glad, dear.

And Pat sends his love. You have all of my love, all of my heart, dearest. Have a happy evening." "How can I?" I began, then add ed more bravely: "I'll try e\en though I miss you." "I'm coming back to you to-mor-' row night," said Jim. "I'll take the day to look over the mine and start back at night." "You shan't!" I cried. "Jim Jim, do you hear me? Please—please, dear, stay for a day or two of fish ing. Stay with Pat, please. It will make me happier than anything else you could do." "Don't you want me?" asked Jim reproachfully. "You funny boy!" I laughed. "This is costing a fortune. Of course I want you—right this minute. But I feel that you'll do Pat worlds of good. And I want you to have the vacation. Promise you'll stay over the weekend." . "Do you want me to?" asked Jim, and I know he felt like a boy being forced to take a vacation from school. "Yes, dear, I want you to stay and have a happy time." Then a few words of lingering farewell and the boy's voice faded off in the final good-by. When I left the phone I went to my bureau and sweeping off my old silver put the charming new enamel pieces In its place. As I looked up my eyes strayed to the mirror and I hardly recognived the radiant creature there reflected for the miserable woman who had been dragging herself about those brooms all day. My faith in Jim restored, I could concede to myself that Uncle Ned hadn't heard the final words of the half-whispered sentence in which I Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1919, International News Service By McManus DON'T TM.K LIKE A. fOOL - ] f >XDU Di I OONfT CVEt*.

Suddenly I realized that in my] unreasoning prido I'd probably hurt j Phoebo and Neal. So I hurried to the phone and called by brother. And a fate which had relented en-! tirely in my behalf let me find Neal' lat home. After I had thanked liim for his wonderful gift, I bluited out the truth about Jim's absence from the city. "Babbsie, darling—you precious old goose!" came back from Neal. "Don't stop to telephone Phoebe about our little gift. I'm going right around to call for her and we'll come to fetch you in half an hour. Not a word! Thitik we'd let you spend your birthday alone? Hustle into your clothes now and be ready when we come, Babbsie. So long." I turned from the telephone con fident that I had learned another ! lesson to-day and wouldn't soon 1 again judge by appearances or let circumstantial evidence sway me. My theory was soon put to the test—for when Neal and Pbcobe es corted me to the quiet and exclu sive roof garden which we selected I for our celebration, the very first person I spied was Tom Mason tucked off in a dimly lighted cor ner and seemingly obvious to all that went on around him. Hunched down in the chair oppo site to him was a girl I couldn't make out In the half light. Tom was all devotion, but I conquered my inclination to condemn him for philandering again and gave all my attention to my beloved host •and hostess. Just as we were finishing the Iced melon with which we began the ex travagant repast Neal Insisted on 1 ordering, a waltz struck up. "Neal—a waltz!" cried Phoebe. Y*p know how your Babbsie loves to Waltz, and if you want to make me happy you won't waste a single strain, but hurry out with sister and give an exhibition dance." "And leave you alone?" I cried. "Net much!" But Neal arose and seizing me masterfully by the elbow, fairly pull ed me from my chair. "Oh, how I love to have the dear i girls fighting over the honor of my | hand In a wa'tz!" he laughed; "but ] come along. Birthday Girl—there's ; no escaping." j "You sweet, generous darling!" 1 flung at Pheobe as we departed. Joyous Neal and I swung out to the soft strains of the popular Hawaiian waltz. For several mo ments I was conscious of nothing I but the rhythm of the sobbing yet laughing music and of our gliding along as part of It. Then a face— startled me uneasy stood out. Tom again. He avoided my eyes, and I refrained from looking to ward him. As the last encore be iin I saw him leaving. The girl, fairly slinking out with him, was Daisy Condon. (To he Continued.)

LITTLE TALKS BY. BE A TRICE FAIRFAX The other day I had a little oliat with a mechanic who is making $8 a day,) plus overtime, and he felt ag grieved, disillusioned, and utterly out of sorts with life because his wife had asked to havo the washing done. He puffed on a black and dis reputable pipe—the only friend left to him in a bitter world —as he told of his sorrows. "It seems you can't get help outside nor at homo, either. Here's my wife that I've kept as a lady ever since I've mar ried her, asking for a washwoman at $2.50 a day. The world has gone mad!" Curiosity prompted me to dis cover just what "keeping a wife as a lady" actually meant, and be lieve me, it was no sinecure from this man's point of view. They have six children varying in ages from eighteen months to fifteen years. And for these, self and husband the "lady" had cooked, washed, ironed, sewed, darned, mended, nursed in sickness and tended in health—with no assistance from any one, except a week's care from a practical nurse when the children were born. "And of all times to ask for a washwoman, at $2.50 a day and meals, when the cost of everything is clear over your head." He puffed on his pipe and again decided that nothing short of a mirlcle would save the world. This model hus band, who was about forty, was In the pink of condition; well nour ished. with the comfortable unha rassed look of a man whose home Is well kept, whose meals are to his liking, and who takes physical well-being for granted. A day or two later I had occasion to see his wife. I found her a nervous wisp of & woman, aged twenty-four, but looking sixty. She had valvular disease of the heart, and her doctor had told her she must give up the family laundry work. This Man Not a Brute Now this man was anything but a brute; he was just ono of those "good, kind, blind men" who never realize anything is wrong till the doc- i tor tells him it is "all over." If men of this type notice how ill and tired their wives look they immediately! jump to the conclusion that "MaryJ does not get enough exercise." They have seen somewhere that exercise is the finest thing In the world, and Mary's habit of sitting down after the day's work is done instead of starting out for a fine, brisk walk is all wrong. "What has she to do anyway but the few little things around her home; it Is not as if she were out working for some one else?"

They merely lack the power of getting their wives' point of view—these "good, kind, blind men" who cause so much unhappiness. They are lacking in vision; they are unable to see anything beyond their own noses. Their job, meals, rest, make up the whole world; they never stop to think of how many peo ple are sacrificed to make their cycle of job, meals, recreation, rest, pos sible. They never stop to consider the price the wife's services wou'd bring as a working housekeeper in the open piarket, though it is brought hame to them sharply at times by the death of the woman who never had anything to do but "the few things about her own home." Such Husbands Lack Sympathy Besides lacking vision, such men are deficient in sympathy. They are unable to grasp how deadly and dangerous is the daily round of cooking, dishwashing, scrubbing, washing and ironing not to men tion the care of children. They see only that "she" does pot have to work outside of her own home; that she has food, shelter and clothes, and these things to the hus band—lacking in vision and sym pathy—"the paradise enough." He does not realize that when a woman nags and is peevish it Is her tired, overwrought nerves that are goading her, and not her "ugly disposition." Women have written pie letters saying there is no re-! form, for husbands of this type, like a camping trip. There, in spite of the God-given out-of-doors, there are meals to be prepared, eaten, washed up after, and the same pro gram started all over again. The preparation and clearing up after meals then dawns on the masculine; mind with true significance. It is not the trifling pastime it appears to be when someone else does it. Sympathy means understanding, it means the power of valuation, it means the gift of saying the right word at the right time. For this woman will cheerfully face poverty, i hard work and drab monotony. And it is lack of sympathy on the part of the husban Is—the feeling that men don't care—that make women com mit the wholly unaccountable crimes that fill us with horror. A woman oh trial for her life the other day—she had shot her two-' year-old son, of whom she was jeal- ' ous—testified that her husband harl J)o sympathy with her. It is lack of sympathy that lends unl tppy wives to seek the society' of other men. They are plain lone- ! some, these women who are sup-1 posed to forego all desire for com -! panionship, recreation, little trips' and amusements as soon as they are married. Husbands do not realize 1 it, but often their wives have no com panionship in their own homes. Their 1 husbands will not talk to them, I they rudely read the paper or bo- j come engrossed in something e.se. ' When a woman tries to tell her hus-' band about something in which she is vitally interested, he yarns, looks bored or openly scoffs at her. And she takes to the unwhole some habit of brooding in silence. ' He is not in sympathy with any- j thing she is doing, or aspires to do. I His sole concern is how cheaply she; can run the house, and yet people, wonder that one marriage in every i ten ends in divorce. It is sympathy, and sympathy! alone, that makes the relationship' of marriage possible. It bridges the 1 raging flood of differing tempera- j ments; it takes the weariness from i the dally treadmill; It offers heal-! tng pity "for the slings and arrows, of outrageous fortune," and there is no real marriage without it. This is the secret of why so many women will stick to the scapegrace ; husband through thick and thin, lie [ may be deficient in all the other I [virtues, but If he possess this one saving grace of sympathy she counts herself blessed among women. Advice to the Lovelorn Attentive Six Years. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Wilt you kindly tell me what you think of the character of a man who has treated me as follows: I have been about jvlth him for six years; during our courtship he showed mc every devotion, love and affection. He objected to my hav ing women friends, as he feared they would take me in other men's company. He never took me to dinners, but to theaters on Sun days, and an occasional movie. Knowing that he was saving his money, and I trusted him, I was happy to help him. He was fortunate -to get enough together to buy out a concern of which he became the head; now things are changed. He rarely dresses up when calling on me— always In his working clothes taking mc any place, and when I call at his place, he says what do you want—no hello, or pleased to see me, and he acts very uneasy till I leave again. I am supporting my mother as a clerk In an office, and since the war Is over my firm closed down. My friend has a girl that the other firm had, and while I am more experi- enced in business he will not cm ploy me. I used to spend all my i evenings in dictating his letters; he always promised me if he ever was his own boss I would be his private secretary. Now I am really in need of money, as my mother is old and j feeble. What do you think of such a personality? R. S. This is a very pitiful story, and I do not think anything will be gained by declining to face facts. He would seem from your account of the affair that this njani does not intend to keep his promise—or the implied promise that six years of friendship involves. He has doubtless become inter ested in some one else, perhaps the young woman employed in his of fice. You are certainly entitled to a clearing up of this state of affairs and would be quite within your rights in asking him to explain things. It will be cold comfort for me to say that he is really unworthy of your love or consideration. You have given him six years out of your life and no words, however consoling, "can cancel that. You have been badly treated, and must call to your assistance all the char acter and stoicism you possess to get through the ordeal.
