A WELL DEVELOPED
SUMMER LOVE AFFAIR
"My sister Chryssie did more than
disapprove df the whole affair," said
the elder Miss Simpson. "Disapprove
is too mild a word. She simply boiled
over and started_ to pack her trunks.
Then she unpacked them because, she
said, she could not in justice to the
family name leave me at the hotel un
chaperoned.
"Chryssie is thirty-six, I am thirty
eight and neither of us ever had *\
chaperon in our lives-so I think it
was nothing but sheer curiosity that
made her remain at the summer re
sort with me. She wanted to see what
I would do with Hendricks White.
Chryssie has got tolerably used this
summer to seeing me mixed up in oth
er people's love affairs because they
were always confiding in me or beg
ging me to help them out-but it was
rather a staggering blow to her when
I produced a well developed love af
fair of my own.
"You would have thought it was a
case of. smallpox from her general at
titude. She conquered her shock and
repugnance only by heroic self-sacri
fice and will power. There is some
'thing magnificent about the way
Chryssie endures the presence of mas
culine beings on this earth. She dis
liked Hendricks White the instant he
walked into the dining room. Hen
dricks is an old bachelor in the for
ties and a successful lawyer who
barks at a jury and is used to seeing
It wilt before his eyes, so he has
rather got into the habit of expecting
everybody else to jump like the Juries.
"What attracted rae to him was the
fact that he seemed to know instantly
what he wanted, whether it was the
choice of an ear of corn or an oar, and
because he positively snorted in wrath
when Libby Knox started to coo over
him. Libby is a young woman of un
certain age who coos over every un
attached man she sees.' The general
run of men like it, even if they say
' they don't-but she never tried it on
Hendricks a second time. After his
escape from her he planted himself on
the other end of the porch settee that
I was occupying and breathed hard
as he glared at me. He knew I had
seen the episode. Finally I laid down
my work and laughed. I couldn't help
it. A sort of harassed, tangled grin
crept over his face. 'Here,' he hissed
at me, 'why is a woman, anyhow?
That is, some women?'
'"A makeshift of nature to fill up
vacant space,' I told him, promptly. T
got that figured out a long time ago!'
"After that we were great friends.
And one day I went sailing with him
in a little catboat that he had rented.
Chryssie said the idea of any man
over twenty going sailing was pitiful.
But I've decided that the best way to
have a good time in this world is to
take things the minute they present
themselves-and I bribed the waiter
at the hotel to put up some sandwich
es and other things for me and took
along a book and a bottle of ginger
ale.
"An hour later, when I produced my
little hamper and began unpacking
things Hendricks said: 'You're the
most sensible woman I ever met! I
was just hating the idea of having to
go back to the hotel for lunch on a
day like this with a breeze just right.
Any other woman would have thought
of frills instead of sandwiches!'
'"H'm! I murmured, argumentative
ly. 'Speaking of frills-'
"Hendricks paused with his mouth
full of sandwich to glare at me.
'They're all right,' he admitted. 'I
don't see why all women can't wear
white lawn dresses with drawn-work
like that. But you always do look just
right!'
"My dress was white linen trimmed
in Irish lave, but I forgave him. It
was touching to see how he enjoyed
being fed, and he positively purred
at the ginger ale and the book.
" 'That's a book I've wanted to read
all summer,' he barked. 'You read out
loud and I'll keep , the boat headed.
Say, positively, I could grow quite
fond of you, Miss Simpson, and I'm
not partial to women, either.'
"We had a lovely afternoon and
when we started to sail back to the
hotel we were surprised to find that
the wind had died out completely. So
we had to pole in. This process con
sists of standing in the stern of the
beat and twisting one oar around in
the water as though you were getting
ready to wring it out and it is war
rant to lay a strong man low in half
a mile. Hendricks did two milos of
ii and I sat there and kept still while
he growled and mopped his face and
gasped for breath.
"It was when we landed that he
secned finally to remember me. He
laid one hand on my shoulder-every
body at the hotel was inside at din
ner-and he did not glare. 'Melanie,'
he Enid, sharply, 'I want you to marry
me! If you'd so much as opened your
mouth to make a suggestion during
those two horrible miles I'd have
dropped you overboard, but as it is
I love you desperately!'
"That was why Chryssie stayed on
-to 8er> If I really was going to ac
cept Hendricks' proposal. She is up
stairs new with a bottle of smelling
salts bec uise I have just told her that
I am."-Chicago Daily News.

JEANETTE'S WORRY OVER
HER HUSBAND'S CAREL
Jeanette walked slowly up the
with an open letter in her hand and
puzzled frown on her pretty brow
Catching sight of me as I sat shaded
by the honeysuckle that grew over the
end of the porch, she smilingly said
"Oh, Cousin Bess, I'm so glad you are
home. What can I do to help Jimmie
with his career?"
"Goodness, child, what a question
And how thoughtless of you to spring
such a ponderous one on me this hot
day."
"I'll help you pare those peaches
even if the fuzz does make my blood
run cold, If you will only tell me how
to help Jimmie. His mother has writ
ten that she 'hopes I will have the
proper consideration for my husband
progession and will help him with his
career.' If you were a young wife
Cousin Bess, wouldn't that stagger
you?'
"Indeed would it. Wait a moment till
I get you a paring knife and an apron
and we will see what we can do about
it. I must get this basket of peaches
ready to preserve before lunch time
Company coming to tea."
Settled again at work, I told Jean
ette that the beBt way she could help
Jimmie with his career was by serving
him.
. "Good gracious, you don't expect me
to fetch and carry for him, do you
I'm not his office boy."'
"No, dear, you are not; but you can
serve Jimmie quite well at home, be
ing his own loving lltle wife."
"Oh," breathed Jeanette.
"For example, although it may seem
a trifling matter to you, you can help
his career by studying his digestion
When you have discovered what he
likes and what diet suits him best
learn to cook his meals, so that you
can instruct any new cook you may
have how to prepare and serve them
to please him best.
'To look after Jimmie's physical
health means a great deal of care and
attention, but to worry him about put
ting on rubbers and taking an um
brella If it threatens rain and to be
continually fussing over him ls a great
mistake.
"Have the raincoat, umbrella and
rubbers ready in the hall rack when
you think he needs them. He will
naturally make use of them without
your having to say a word.
"Have the suit of clothes necessary
for a change laid out for him and a
sandwich, with a cup of hot broth,
waiting for him if he is forced to work
late at the office.
"Silence is a wonderful help to a
tired man. All the little attentions to
his physical comfort can be adminis
tered without any great flow of words,
and a cup of beef tea placed silently
beside him on his desk when he works
at home will be more appreciated
than if you spent twenty minutes
in trying to persuade him to drink it
"Save him from wasting time in
interviewing troublesome callers. Of
fer to write his letters for him, ei?e
cially those of a social nature, and
business ones, too, if he will let you.
"Never trouble him with domestic
worries. Let him think that the
household runs as if on oiled wheels
that scarcely ever creak. That means
self-denial, but practice it.
"Learn to wear a smiling face, even
if disaster threatens.
"You will often feel like crying
with Impatience when vexatious prob
lems must be faced and cruel disap
pointments forgotten, but if you make
up your mind to exert your self-con
trol you will be able to smile and
smile and smile. f
"Don't let Jimmie be distressed and
depressed by the sight of your tears.
"Remember there are two kinds of
women-the one who takes the heart
out of a man and the one who puts
it back. The successful wife must
be the one who restores the heart
and energy to her husband when the
fight against obstacles has been fierce
and exhausting.
"Jimmie loves to play bridge and
you loathe cards. Learn how to play
and help him to enjoy that harmless
recreation when he is worn with work.
"Do not allow a disparity of tastes
and sympathies. Interest yourself in
Jimmie's hobbies as well as in his
actual profession."
"But, Cousin Bess, his career. How
can I help with his career?"
"Just by these little things. Don't
you see. dear, that by just smoothing
out iii? rough places for bim will
give Jimmie more time and uninter
rupted thought to give to the building
of his own career?
"There, the peaches are all pared.
Don't they look delicious? I will give
you a jar when they are done. Thank
you for helping me, dear."
"Thank you for helping me, dear
Cousin Bess."
How He Felt About lt.
There was one man in Indianapolis
this week, who could appreciate the
position of the man in the musical
comedy, "A Modern Eve," who ?B the
hen-pecked husband of a suffragette.
V hether the understanding one is a
resident of the city or whether he is
one of the state fair visitors remains
a mystery, but he is not in sympathy
with the suffrage leader depicted in
the play. He was a diminutive per
sonage with long, flowing whiskers
and a very meek countenance.
The husband, who was dominated
by his wife, had summoned sufficient
courage to speak of the matter. His
narrative of his troubles ended with
the lines, "Now, I am tired of this, I
am going to assert myself."
The audience applauded and the
small man was especially elated. "Bul
ly." he cried. The exclamation brought
forth more applause than the lines.
