A good many people looked at her but she didn’t look at a soul. -u., She was reading a letter. And she was laughing a little and the funny thing about it was there were tears in her eyes, too. She laughed when her friends came along and she put the letter she was reading in her bag— and then she laughed again. “It’s just a letter frmo Jim,’’ said the pretty woman in the smart sport outfit. “Is Jim gone?” asked the dearest friend. “Oh, no,” smiled the woman in green. But we write to each other just the same. “We have been writing to each other for 20 years. Whenever Jim does something that makes me mad I don’t say a word. “I just wait until I get a chance and I go and write him a letter about it, and I slip the letter into his pocket so he will find it sometime during the day. When he comes home at night he doesn’t say a word about it. He just slips me a letter and I read it and we laugh and sometimes I cry-and everything’s all right again. "We have settled all our quar-*-__ TPIr hv mtJll Vnn no m'f «i rels by mail. You can’t think what a help it is.. “Now there was the time that Jim got to steping out with a pretty gay crowd, and leaving me at home with the baby. “I wrote him a letter about it and he answered the letter and since then where he dines I dine, and that’s that. “And there was the time I want ed Jim to take me to the concert and he was tired and wouldn't go. I went alone, and I was ashamed to be at the concert alone, so I went home and wrote a note about it and put it in Jim's pocket. “It was cool in the room and I was in my little thin nighty and the tears kept falling on the paper, but I wrote the letter just the same and put it in Jim’s pocket. “The next night when Jim came home he didn’t have any letter for me at all. He just took me in his arms and said. ‘Darling, you were quite right about the concert. It was mean of me to make you go alone. Let’s make an agreement. “‘I'll go to all your lectures and your concerts and all your amateur performances with you if you will go to the baseball game and the poker party and the prizefight with me. That is fair, isn’t it?” And we both laughed and that was settled. “If I had talked to Jim about will leave Friday for Denver, Colo., to spend a month. Mr. and Mrs. E. F.

I that concert we could have had a fight as sure as fate, and every fight is a nail in the coffin of life. “Now this note from Jim is about a woman I like and he doesn’t like, and in this letter he tells me why. And I guess he is right at that. “I’m glad he wrote it, though, in stead of saying it—you never can stick to the subject when you talk over a grievance. You always drag out a lot of has-beens and I-told you-so’s and the first thing you know—” Rather a good idea isn’t it? I wonder if it wouldn’t work 6ut well with a good many people. What do you think? You should have the tears and the laughter and the thrill of “mak ing up” aijd not have the bitterness of a real quarrel. I am glad I met the little woman in green and saw her read her let ter from Jim.
