THURSDAY. “Belle was rather anxious to know what you would lik® for a birthday present, Mary," observed Henry, as she joined him In the living room after putting Betty to bed. “She seemed to think I ought to know and expected me to tell her, but for the life of me I couldn't suggest a thing that I’d heard you say you wanted.” “I suppose she will dash out tomorrow and buy me some fool thing to wear—or at least that I can never wear,” replied Mrs. Hooper, as she sat down to hem by hand the skirt of the new z T -V tricotine dress that was fast nearing completion. "I wish Belle could be made to understand that she almost ruins tbe sentiment attaching to the celebration of our family birthdays by making her pretem tious gift the most important feature of coming to dinner with us," said Henry, as he turned over the pages of a magazine In search of something to read aloud to his wife while she sewed. "But there isn't any use of trying to head her off. Mrs Hooper laughed good-naturedly. “I wouldn't mind it so much If she didn't buy me hats and blouses— that are so expensive and so ugly. But let's inot crlticze our relations after the reprimand l gave Helen this morning for gossiping about her mother to the girls. “Don't you think Helen is getting a bit impertinent—or perhaips ‘flip' is a better way to describe It?” inquired Henry mildly. . ”1 have been watching Helen for the past two weeks and I'm rather puzzled about her," admitted Mrs. Hooper and I intend to get at the bottom of the mystery very shortly. But to change the subject," she continued, I wish you would take forty dollars up to the city with you in the morning and pay the premium on our house and furniture insurance. It is due this week, you know. “Verv well,” answered Henry. How much did you pay the carpenter for putting up those screens?'' “Just six dollars," said Mrs. Hooper reaching for her housekeeping book that lav on her desk. “Well that is all right.” remarked Henry. “There Isn't anything else that needs Immediate attention. Is there?” “No,” replied Mrs. Hooper. 1 shall have the kitchen done over a bit later, but it will be mostly painting and putting up a few new shelves and Roger and I can do that very cicely with little expense. “Our little party to the city and the theater tickets will about wipe out the advancement part of the budget and when I pay an installment of fifty dollars on the washing machine the operating expense surplus will be eliminated also.” “But why worry, since all your balances are turned into proper channels when you do spend them?” observed Henry. “The equilibrium of your budget isn't disturbed and you Just begin assembling a surplus again.” “It takes great strength of mind, I assure you, Henry," laughed Mrs. Hooper, “to keep me from bunching a few of these ‘balances’ and insisting on your buying anew summer suit.” “We've always gone over the same old story, Mary,” was Henry's rejoinder, “whenever you thought any of us needed anything that couldn't wait until the proper fund was large enough to buy it. But you never have yielded to the temptation to do It yet.” “I expect I shall some day,” said Mrs. Hooper ruefully. "When I think how I've fallen from grace by planning to buy the waching machine on the installment plan 1 shall never feel very certain of myself again. “Besides,” concluded Henry as he pre pared to begin the reading cf a short story by an amusing author they both liked, “I don't need anew summer suit. I had one last year which will do me for two seasons anyhow—perhaps three.” Mrs. Hooper's shopping for the week had been rather light In spite of the fact that she wag preparing for a dinner of a little more pretention for Sunday. Rather, this was the reason that her marketing was a little more sparing—as she out down her meat bill for the rest of the week to make way for the expense of the fried chicken for the family and two guests on Sunday. Also they were to have ice cream and she spent the Wt cents of her month's food surplus for nuts and raisins and mint candles as a

Her shopping included three yards of pale gray farmer's satin for a petticoat to be worn with the tricotine dress; a pair of gray silk gtockings and a sliver tinsel rose to freshen up the black lace hat of another season which she planned to v with the gray dress when ehu went to the city Saturday evening. She also bought Mr. Hooper some underwear for which she paid two dollars and ninety cents. A short conference with the local hardware man convinced her that it would be possible for her to buy her electric washing machine from him direct by paying a deposit of fifty dollars down and the balance on payments of two dollars and fifty cents a week. He assured her that this was an arrangement that he made for the convenience of his customers and had nothing tc do with the agents from whom he bought the machines outright. Mrs. Campbell was passing ns Mrs. Hooper went in at the front gate after her shopping. “Won't you come in and have a cup of tea, Mrs. Campbell?'’ sho asked hospitably. “Oh, no thank you, Mrs. Hooper," replied that lady a bit loftily. “I'm having my own afternoon tea at home now and my sister and cousin come in and sew with me every day almost. It's a griat idea and my schedule is really beginning to work. Maybe you've noticed 1 haven't been running In so often In the morning and at odd times as 1 used to." “I have missed you,” admitted Mrs. Hoper. "Don't desert me entirely, will you?” “Indeed I won't.

Hls arrest was a double suprise to Mrs. Elsie Terhune Winfield of this city. She is the wife with whom he was living at the South Pennsylvania street address and when the detectives told her that her husband was wanted in Louisville, K.}\, to answer the charge of child desertion she exclaimed, “we have no children.” Then Winfield admitted he had another wife living i’n Louisville from whom he had not been divorced and that lie has a 8-year-old child there. He said he married Lucy Kimball Winfield four years ago at Louisville. The Louisville wife, the detectives say, does not know her husband has an Indianapolis wife. Walter Chapman, 35, 1710 Brookside avenue, was arrested early today by detectives charged with being a fugitive from Justice. He is said to be wanted at Urbana, 111, to answer a charge of non-support filed by his wife in that city. ‘Destitute’ Ones Would Form a Corporation The Independent Order of Widows, Widowers.

FIND SITE FOR REFORMATORY Greencastle Selection, However, Is Protested. Special to The Times. GREENCASTLE, Ind., May 19.—Tbe new Indiana reformatory will be located five miles east of Greencastle adjacent to the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company’s interurban line and the Pennsylvania railroad, it is believed. G. A. H. Sbldeler, superintendent of -the reformatory, is said to be very anxious that the new site be located on the traction line for the convenience of those who must go to and from the institution. Other members of the commission are said to agree with Mr. Shideler in this regard. It is thought that the old Raines homestead, owned by W. A. Kreigh of this city, is the most favored of the sites viewed by the commission. It is farther from Greencastle than any of the other sittes east of the city and offers the State excellent railroad facilities. The question of an adequate water supply is still confronting the commission, however, and it may cause a change in the choice of a site. Citizens of Greencastle are conducting a campaign in opposition to the probable location of the reformatory near this city. Many citizens believe that the Influence of such an institution would not better the city’s reputation. Heretofore, it is said that Greencastle has been regarded as a center of education and refinement. Petitions which oppose the location of the reformatory near Greencastle are worded as follows: “We, the undersigned citizens of Greencastle, view with great concern tbe proposition to locate the State reformatory In the vicinity of our city. The name Greencastle has so long been associated with the idea of education and refinement and law abiding that to couple It now with the suggestion of crime, seems an Incongruity. We recall with gratification that former Governor James P. Goodrich opposed the location of the State Farm at this place for the above reason. We earnestly appeal to Senator Estes Duncan and Governor Warren T. McCray, as our representatives, to use their best endeavors to prevent the sullying of the fair name of Greencastle.” Members of the commission say that if it comes hero it will be as distinct from this city as the State Farm, which is not associated with Greencastle by the people of the State. Tbe commissioners say that if the reformatory is located in this vicinity it will bavo distinct railway stations and a separate postoffice. WHERE COON OYSTERS GROW. Q. How did coon oysters get this name? U ®‘ A. This Is a name applied to oysters growing near shore where they can easily be obtained by raccoons.
