Married Life the Second Year
"Now Good-Bye, Old Horsey!" Even the Poor, Underfed, Little Girl Has Heartfelt Sympathy for the Overworked Du ih Beast.
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. Helen stepped back and gave a last anxious glance at the table. The pink-
Bhaded candles, the shining silver, the j glistening cutglasa and dainty china- j yes, it was an attractively set table. She moved the dish of shimmering blackberry jelly an Inch nearer the j
celery and changed the salted almonds to where the olives had been. Then she remembered that Roy, Carrie's little boy, was to sit thfre. Perhaps she had better not leave the almonds so near his plate. At last there were no further touches to be given, every dish and piece of silver was placed to the beBt advantage. "Now, Delia, be rare and not put the whipped cream on the soup until JuBt the moment before you bring it in." "Yes, miss." "And, don't forget, when you serve the turkeys to pot thm on the platter o the feet will be toward Mr. Curtis and then he won't have to turn them around to carve. And, you know, the gravy dish is to b placed here and the dressing over here."
A GOOD DINNER IF! "Yes, miss." With the consciousness of a beautiful table and an excellently prepared dinner If everything would only "go right" Helen opened the folding doors that led into the sitting room and announced that dinner was ready. There was an awkward moment in seating them all. Warren who had been previously posted as to where each one was to be, made a mistake of putting his brother Frank in Carrie's plaoe. "Oh, no, Frank," laughed Helen. "You're to sit next to me. Carrie's to sit there so Roy can be beside her. And Edith, that's your place by your
fattier." At last they were all properly seated. Warren at the head with his mother, father. Edith and Frank on one side; his sister Carrie, her husband and two children on the other with Helen of course at the end. The first of the dinner went very well. It was while Helen was anxiously watching Warren carve the turkey afraid lest he was Blicing the breast too thick for every one to have some, that she was suddenly conscious of Carrie asking: "Don't you think so, Helen?" Helen turned with a start and murmured vaguely "Oh, yes" ashamed to admit that she had not heard. "But do you think it's good policy for a store to do that?" asked Lawrence, Helen's husband. "Helen doesn't know what you're talking about," said Warren with an unpleasant laugh, as he disjointed the wing. "She's too busy criticizing my carving. Now if you think you can do it any better you can come up here and try." "Oh, Warren," said Helen flushing at this needlessly rude speech before his people. HELEN IS HURT. "Then if I'm to carve I'll do it my way. And I don't need any mental suggestions, either." Helen flushed deeper, dropped her eyes to her plate, and did not again look toward him while he was carving. In her heart she felt more bitter at this discourteous remark before his family than at almost anything he could have said o her alone. "Want the pulley bone! Want the pulley bone!" demanded Roy.
"I can't get at it now?" said War-j
ren, who always thought came s children badly spoiled. "You'll have to wait a while." Roy sat up a howl of protest. "Hush, dear, hush! Uncle Warren will give It to you as soo as he can. He isn't through carving yet." Here Roy seeing a dish of bonbons, pointed at them with a shrill: "Candy! Candy!" "No, no, you must have your dinner first and candy afterward," sakl his mother. "Candy!" demanded Roy. "Well, I suppose one piece won't hurt him," and Carrio reached over tor the dish. "Now which one do you want?" "That one." He pulled the cherry off the top, then, broke open tfre pink coated bonbon and let the syrup Inside drop on Helen's best tablecloth. When he had eaten this h promptly helped himself
to another, as Carrie had thoughtless

She went out in the street with her little tin pail, on an errand for her over-worked and underfed mother. She herself was overworked and underfed; she had never in all her nine years known a satisfied appetite. She had been thinking as she walked along, how wonderful life must be to those people she saw driving about in great motor cars: wearing just such rich garments as she saw displayed in shop windows when she passed the big shops. She had never known the comfort of really warm clothes any Winter since she could remember.

He stood with bowed and dejected head, breathing hard, while he rested tor a few moments, before his driver returned to urge him on. The heart of the little girl swelled with a sudden feeling of comradeship. The heaven-born emotion of sympathy took possession of her and drove out self-pity. She slipped her thin arm about the long nose of the old horse, and pressed her cheek close to his.

And now as Roy reached over to take still another she asked: "Carrie, aren't you afraid Roy will be sick, eatlws candy before his dinner?" "Oh.. are you eating that candy? Now you musn't have any more," push .ing the dish back a little, not enough, Ilehsn thought, to be out of his reach. "You must eat your dinner and then yon can have the candy." "That's a very pretty centerpiece," said Mrs. Curtis to distract the attention from Roy, who began to whimper. "You had so many given you when you were married but that isn't one of them, is it?" "No I bought that several months
ago," answered Helen, "when they were having a sale, at A 's." "All women are alike they buy things at 6ales whether they need them or not, said Mr. Curtis pointedly. Helen made a laughing protest, but Bte could not help but think that this was a moat unnecessary comment. There has always been a smouldering antagonism between Warren's father and herself.

This was the first complimentary thing that had been said about the dinner, except when Mrs. Curtis sat down she had murmured vaguely, "the table's very pretty. But Helen did not expect them to praise the dinner. If they had she would have been much surprised. All she hoped for was that everything would go smoothly that there would be no unpleasantness. "What's that?" demanded Carrie, hurriedly pushing back her chair. "There's something under the table. Why it's a CAT!" "Oh, it's Pussy Purr-mew," laughed Helen. "I wonder how she got in here." "Pussy Purr-mew." DOESN'T LIKE KITTENS. "Yes. Winifred's kitten didn't I

"They breed disease. Nothing worse for carrying germs." "Oh. but not Pussy Purr-mew. She's so sweet and clean. Look! isn't she pretty?" as the kitten bounded lightly across the room. "Oh. a kitty a kitty" cried Roy, wriggling down from his chair. "Now

to endure this attitude from their
husband's family? Or was it an exexceptional thing? And if so was it in any way her fault?
