The Evening Story
Hats and Happiness.
Cepynghf. IVI4. by W. Warner.)
Karen Fuller, hurry Inf along un
ir her shabby umbrella that lnade
lataly ebeltered her from the
anting rain, heard a voice apeak
g her name and pauaed. Kutb Ro
ad bad evidently seen her putting
id had ran out of Fllnt'a, that
ifhteut of all bright shops which
tered carefully to the purae heavy
id particular. Karen's first glance
Okla Ruth'a new velvet aailor and
de laced ahoea, whereupon instant
•he became aenaltlvely aware of
ir own work-weary, ink smudged,
id worn to tat tern uglineaa. But
uth apoke In that tone which one
rl employs when she knows an
her girl's poor circumstances and
tea her.
“Karen,” she said. "I was going
ound to your house tonight to see
>u. Mark has promised to take me
id any two girls 1 name to the city
morrow for the matinee and dln-
T. Os course you are one of the
rls I want. Yt|i have a half holt
iy, 1 know, since It la Suturday,
id you could be ready to start at
I exactly, lt’a sure to be pleasant
ter this.”
-Oh, I •an’t!" cried Karen. Her
ce brightening “You're doing the
ndest thing to ask me. Ituth, oh.
Hi are. Indeed!"
Ruth Roland laughed. "The other
rl la Victoria Vatl,” she said
“Oh'" Karen gulped. ”1 wondered
ho it was.”
-You'll be ready at 12 '***
-Without fall.” Karen tried to
nlle brightly.
“Victoria Vail! If It had been
lybody else In the world,” Karen
Ought.
Under a sheltering awning stic
LUaed and took brief counsel with
•raelf. An urgent need faced her.
M* two dsya she had been staving
off. while the weather grew crisp
■ and every other female creature,
•ployed or Idle, came out in con
nclng new headgear. This motor
da had precipitated things. She
ust have anew hat. There wa*
i In her purse upon which no ul
rior demand such as food or rent
* fuel could be mad**. She could
ie thla s:t for herself and f**el no
tinge of conscience— providing, of
Mirse. $3 would buy a hat.
In all the town there was Just one
top for such as she Recklessly
Hlgtng belated ears, she ran across
i* street It was a tiny shop lit
red with millinery. In plain sight
tyond a portiere sat a dowdy lit
t woman, sewing rapidly Hite
Xlded carelessly to KAren ami
tme'to wait upon her.
Karen, sitting before the glass
ok ofT her faded straw, pushed up
*r hair and put on the brand new
llor Mrs. Carson handed her. Hut
>r heart sank, for she had caught
glimpse of the price tag. Five dol
ra! She could not afford that,
iaven t you something simpler and
leaper?” she plead* and. Mrs Car
m’l officious suavity stiffened to
ild Indifference “Certainly, If you
ire for that kind,'' she said and
iiaipcd down upon Karen's brown
itr a magenta trimmed tricorne,
ro sizes too small, with i pair of
fllculnua feelers a foot high
"Something in blown **r blue or
ack ” Karen suggested, feeling
,pe fleeing Oh, wli> were all the
parable hats made so dear and all
f possible ones so hideous’ Her
ce grew paler and wearier as flu
I In her purse shrank and shrlv
led to the price of a green cordu
y tam o’shanter with a dangling
It tassel
“Oh I eouldnt wear that"’ She
ive a miserable glance around. "I
teas I won't take one Just now
I—perhaps conic In again." Sc
umbled out Into the street, mur
urlng thanks and apologies, and
rare that she had made an enemy
rever. Home she sped to find her
other scurrying here and there
Ith basins and buckets.
“The roof has sprung a leak.
Dre expense,” moaned Mrs Fuller
md the butter’s out Can you eat
m on your bread f*>r supper?’
“Anything. I'm not hungry," re
lad Karen.
That evening while the last drix
t of tain tinkled into the dlshpan
and Mrs. Puller darned stockings,
iren Hat, pretending to read, and
elng ot one word before her
She hat- no business, she argued
intally, to be friends with people
ie Ruth Roland when she herself
Td under a mortgaged roof—
licit also was a leaky one and
irked In Smith ft Miller s law or
es for $8 a week, which was %2
>re than she earned or would
ve been paid by anybody who did
1 VHI her for her dead fathers
ke. Hhe bad no business to go
ling In Mark Roland's beautiful
w (Hide when her clothes wire a
(grace, and nothing "erm+d ever
me of such folly save added grief
and disappointment. For Mark lt«»
id did not care for her and never
uld or would, no matter how much
e adored him as the most wonder
I male being who had ever np
ared In her little world. Victoria
ill filled Mark’s eyea; Victoria
ill, with her city finish and mar
llous clothes. It was Just like
ar, tactless Ruth to ask those
nlnine antipodes, Victoria and
llttl, to consort together, never
paining that if would damage one
the other. Ruth liked Vlctorlij
ri idle liked Karen, and she want
them both. Mark was willing to
ve them, so what else mattered?
‘But, oh. I can’t-I can't.” Karen
Might after she had handed thf
tr to her mother to pay for hav
I the roof mended and wen' mis
t-rably to bed. "1 ® not orave
enough to go in that old straw for
Mark to see and Victoria to sneer
at Tomorrow morning I'll excuse
myself somehow, in the meantime
|*ll hope for rain.”
But the sun awoke Karen from be
lated slumber, and as she dtwarlly
proceeded offleeward she perceived
that the streetways were dry and
Inviting to tires. Hhe had resolved
to ‘phone Ruth from the oflice, but
the 'phone was out of order.
“1 suppose I must go. I can t lie
and I don't see how anything but a
Ho would serve.” Karen sighed as
she nibbled grahatu crackers and
pounded out law papers at the same
time.
At 12 punctually Mark's siren
summoned her and she ran down,
determined to be appreciative and
outwardly joyous at least. Victoria
sat by Mark, a most correctly veiled
and coated Victoria, who cast dls
ai proving eye at Karen's genteel
shabbliiess. In the back seat Karen
nestled beside Ruth and tried to see
everything except the pair ahead.
Un such a morning and with a
perfectly new car of the most ex
pt naive type, who would have pre
supposed a breakdown? Rut tnat Is
what occurred on top of Braden
Hill in the woods a good three miles
frr.ni every body.
"Oh. Mark!” cried Ruth In dis
may. “Won't It .go: Can't you
make It?" Mark gritted his teeth.
“Sorry, but you see what we re up
against,” he replied.
Oh' Oh! • And what are we to
do?” wailed Victoria, glancing down
at her narrow, fashionable feet.
Murk glanced at them too.
"You’ll have to sit In the car and
wait till we scare up a rescuing
party, I guess.” he said. “I’m going
link to the house 1 passed a mile or
so hack; I noticed a telephone wire
going Into it and-”
"And I’ll go ahead to another
house. I know there must be one on
tin other side of the hill some
v I ere." Karen’s tone was eager.
"Can you? It will save time. ’
Mark’s face brightened. "But don t
hurry. Even if we can't strike a
telephone some teams are sure to
be by before the afternoon Is out.
Ruth and Victoria climbed into
the hack seat of the car and Mark
and Karen started forth in search
o.* first aids to a foundered car.
Within half an hour Mark re
turned. He bad found the telephone
v ire disconnected and there was
not another bouse in that direction
for several miles. Karen was still
absent and he started out to tlnd
her.
He saw her'coming up the hill
with happy triumph in her face. Hhe
waved her hand and shouted. Be
hind her toiled a team of heavy
breasted, heavy-haunched horses
and their owner, who at Karen's pe
tition had unhitched them from
their load.
"Karen! You darling!" Mark
cried.
"And the man says," panted Kar
en ignoring hltu, "that there's a
garage two miles ahead, lie’ll tow
us to it ”
•'Karen.” Mark said earnestly,
■you are the most resourceful little
person I ever saw —ami the dearest.
Why haven't I found it out before? ’
Very slowi\ they climbed the hill
together. It was a steady climb to
happiness all the way.
When the car was ready to t-tHft,
Mark helped Kar*-n to the seat he
side him. "I shan't run this car or
anything else In my life without you
after this.” he whispered.
And Karen's laugh told him how
happy she was.
