"I'm a plain case of brute," he an
swered. "No, you're not, "but I'm a boob,"
was my interruption. "L know you
meant to give me pleasure on my
birthday and because you did it in a
way I was not expecting I did not do
anything to meet you half way," he
continued.
Then Dick kissed me solemnly and
made some remark about my tears
making the collar of his pajamas
limp, but "I was so happy that we were
at peace again and was already half
asleep between my sobs.
Although I spent the next day in
my room trying to fix up my mud
covered dress and took the night trpn
home I am glad I went, for as Dick
put me on the car he said: "Margie,
you are the best little wife in all the
world and I'm glad you came, even
if it was perhaps more tears than
smiles." .'

of the week and I am going to make
him another birthday cake.

ABOUT LJNEN
Everything that's labeled linen
isn't linen. It may be part cotton
and part linen, and it may be mercer
ized cotton with a very small portion
of linen in it.
To test the material you buy for
linen, drop water on the goods if it
is all linen the moisture spreads rap
idly and dries quickly. On -cotton the
fabric will remain moist for some
time.
Glycerine is considered a better
test than water. It causes linen to
appear transparent.
Another test for linen is by break
ing the yarn, if cotton the ends will
curl' up. If pure linen the ends re
main smooth.
One ounce of epsom salts added to
