dell."

“For Pete’s sake what's the matter?” said Grace's brother-in-law, lo king rather anxiously at her. “Tom, I’m sorry,” said Grace, with mock penitence. “But, you see. I’ve I < n trying to think of the name of that Wendell boy that went to school in the grammar school with me. (If course, you and Elf were in high school, tint UIV can't remember him at all But hi war such a nice little boy. He used to sit just behind me. end he'd make funny pictures and fasten then:'to my pigtails, and I'd puli my hair around and get them, end the teaelrer never dreamed that we were misbehaving. And lie kept my pencil sharpened, and he had the nicest freckles. What was his name— Hoi ’ y. Tommy, Billy, Jimmy, Fred-

dy—”

"Don't start that up again, please." begged Grace's newly ucipiired broth-er-in-law. “HI send for an alienist if you tin." “But it's so irritating.” complained Grace. “I just won’t be able to sleep toni 'ht. You see. KIT and I were thinking about old times tills afternoon. and we were trying to see if we could remember all the boys and girls we went to school with, and l Just couldn't think of that Wendell boy's first name.” So Tom suggested that he would bring home a city directory from his office the next day. Of course, Grace did not know where the hoy had gone, but there was a chance that lie had settled In the city. Failing that, she might go to the library and look over directories of other large cities. Perhaps she would lie able to find bis name in the telephone directories or jn “Who’s Who." In vain Tom brought various directories home and in vain did Grace visit the library fo search through directories In search of a man named Wendell whose first name belonged to the boy of school-day recollections. So Grace decided at last that the Wendell boy must have fallen In the great war. She even wrote to the War department at Washington to see whether there was any record there of a fallen soldier of the name of Wendell. But the answer was long in coming, and when It did come she didn't even take the trouble to read it. But for a few days Grace was worse than a wet blanket. "I’m going to bring young Smith home to dinner tonight.” Tom announced one morning at breakfast. “You suggested bring ing someone hoim for Grace, and Smith’s an agreeable sort of chap. Grace needs someone to make her forget that everlasting Wendell boy of

hers."

“I know I won't be interested,” said Grace. ‘‘I never could endure anyone named Smith.” But that night Grace did take the trouble to don her most becoming evening frock and to try at least to put aside her preoccupation. “I’m (piite sure I've seen you before,” said Mr. Smith after he had been presented before dinner. “Let

I know.” echoed Grace. “Quite a long time ago—” “We went to school together," said Mr. Smith eagerly, almost in the same breath. “You used to sit in front of me and yon had long pigtails—and—” “You weren't the Wendell boy?” almost sbr'eked Grace. “Wendell Smith's my name,’’ said the young man beaming. “And we called you Grade." For the first time In several days Grace smiled naturally. She and Wendell Smith were deep In renffnisconoos when they went out to dinfier. “Why in th world didn’t ym loll me?” she asked her hrother-in-law Tom at dinner.

UNINVITED WIND

“I have a funny engagement,” said Mr. Wind. The Breeze Brothers looked at Mr. Wind and said: “You seem to be getting dressed up in your best.” “Yes,” said Mr. Wind, “I have put on my best windy cape, and my besi windy hat and my best fly-away wind; shoes. But 1 have really nothing which makes me keep this engagement of mine. “I mean that 1 have had no invitation to go where I am going. But 1 am going Just the sume. "You see some creatures are so silly They don't blow in on others for supper, for example. They wait until they’re asked. ‘‘Sometimes they will hint for an invitation. But most of the time they wHl not even do that. "They wait until they are asked, ard if they're not asked they just don’t go at all. "But I am different. “I feel like going on a party and I ; feci Ilk* -eoing some people and so l am going. “I haven’t hinted about It. No. I ! have not done that.

I say to myself: “ ‘Now, Wind, go out and have a good time and don't bother about manners.' "And then I answer myself In this fashion: "’All right. Wind, I’ll do as you suggest.’ “So I just leave my manners at home wrapped up for safekeeping In case I may want them at some time. "That is one of the advantages about not being asked to a party. “If I had been invited to visit the people I might have felt It my duty to have unpacked my best manners before I started. “I might have felt that I would have had to say how kind it was of them to

Nor do I have to say it was kind of them to have invited me for they haven’t invited me at all. "And when I want to leave I don't have to shake hands with my host and hostess and tell them what a good time 1 had. No, I don't have to take a single manner along with tite." “We didn’t know that manners ever came singly,” said the Breeze Broihers. “You don't know everything," said Mr. Wind, with a little windy smile. “Ah, yes, I have lots of manners i I want to use a lot and if 1 only want one or two I may only use one or two. “People are the same way. They may go out and not say a polite thing and then just before leaving they mi.y make one polite sijei eh. “That was just one manner they took along with them.
