Waiting for a Tenant

For Rent One Perfectly Good, Honest Heart

By Stella Flores

At the edge of the forest of dreams j the maic house of a man's heart.

Loving hands have rurnisnea u who beautiful memories; Its crystal windows veiled with sunny curtains of tenderness. The man watches anxiously as Cupid brings one after another to see it.

Eagerly he scans each passing face. The flirt darts a witching glance at him through her tangled lashes. "What an adorable little place!" she cries. "I'll take it for the summer." The vounsr man's chin sets a little

morn firmly, while she

"But it isn't to be rented that way," the man protests. A woman with a pale, sweet face

pauses wistfully. "It's charming," she whispers, with a little catch in her j voice. The man's eyes grow black, i

She'll be a good tenant! If she would only take it!. Cupid puts

stays," suggest Cupid, the key in the door and flings it open

wide. Slowly her violet eyes take in i the exquisite furnishings all that j youth and glorious manhood have brought to make it beautiful. "You'll j stay'.'" the man asks anxiously. She J starts as thcugh roused from a trance J and passes her hand across her eyes, j It is her left hand, and on the third

finger is a plain gold ring. "You see I can't," she answers gently. "I

shouldn't have looked in at all; but it was too lovely. My own house is so big and cold forgive me." "I gues I'll nail it up and go away," the man mused wistfully, as hr tender form vanishes into the forest.

But even as he speaks there appears the dim outline of a girlish figure. ' Slowly she advances, with hesita'iug' steps. Her eyes are downcast, and a! white radiance surrounds her figure, j "Take a look," calls Cupid rakishiy. A ; flush stains her cheeks and sin- makes j a move to hurry on.

But the man stands barring the path. "l'lus let uie gi," she b-gs tremulously. Their eyes meet. Sunddenlj the birds and flowers In-tin to sins. The world has turned to nais: "That's a good piece of work." smile Cupid, as he whisks away. ST HI. LA FLOHKS.

Married Life the Fourth Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER, "Dear, the china closet has just come and it is wonderful! . . .Yes, just now the men just left. It fits in that Oh. what is the matter with this phone!" and Helen sharply shook the receiver hook. "Centrul! Central, CAN'T you give me a better connection?" Hut the wires were crossed and it was several minutes before the buzzing ceased and Warren's voice came clearly in an impatient "Hello." "Hello! It fits in that corner perfectlynot an inch to spare. And there is no question about it being an old one! If it only didn't have that high polish! Dear, couldn't I rub it down in some way? . . . No, no; tha t would make it cost us more! No, I want to do it myself If I only knew what to use!" . . . When Helen hurried back to the dining rot in Nora was up on the kitchen stepladder-chair wiping oiT tiie top shelf of the new china closet. "Nosa. Mr. Curtis says we will spoil it if we try to rub it down," resentfully, "lie says it takes a man who understands it." But Nora who could not see why any one would prefer a dull finish to a nice shiny one, was not sympathetic. 1 was an old Sheraton cabinet with quaint diamond-paned doors, and Helen was convinced that it was worth much more than the seventy dollars she had paid. She had bought it on the lat day of a "retiring from business sale" of a Fourth avenue shop, and so hail to take it as it was, with one small pa no broken and that hideous high polish. I low could any one so desecrate a beautiful old piece by varnishing it up like that? The more she looked at 'f Cue more that high polish grated on her. Now. ma'am, the shelves are all washed, announced Nora. Then came the fascinating work of arranging the china. Underneath each shlf Helen screwed a row of hooks lor tiie coffee, tea and bouillon cups. The plates and meat platters she stood up in the back. It looked like an illustration in her book of old English furniture, she thought proudly, as she stood back to iew it. Ever since they were married she had wanted a china closet, but she had wanted an antique. And ibis was the first one she had seen at a moderate price. "Nora. I believe we CAN rub that down," determinedly. I am going to M up Castelli's and ask them about it." The next moment Helen was looking up Castelli's Antique Shop in the telephone book. 'Hello, is this Mr. Castelli? This is Mrs. W. E. Curtis you remember we bought a sideboard from you? Well, I have just bought an old china closet, and unfortunately it has been very highly polished. I wonder if you ould tell me how to rub it down. Oh, no, I want to do it myself. Oh, I see," stiffly. "Very well- good-bye." With flaming cheeks Helen slammed up the receiver. She would never buy another thing of that man! He had refused to tell her anything, insisting that she should send it around and let HIM do it over. Promptly she called up another dealer, who, in marked contrast to Castelli, very generously told her what to do. Fine powdered pumice-stone and crude oil -rub with the grain of the wood. That was all. Helen thanked him effusively, determined to trade with and recommend him whenever she could. Gleefully she ran back to Nora, who was now washing the glass door. "Nora, I want you to go to the paint

store and get some fine powdered pumice-stone and some crude oil. This bottle will do for the oil, about ten cents worth, and say you want enough pumice-stone to rub down a china closet. Now hurry, I want to get this done before Mr. Curtis comes home 1 am sure we can." When Nora returned, Helen eagerly opened the bag of pumice-stone. "Now put some of this in a saucer and get me a couple of soft cloths." Hurriedly she slipped on an old wrapper and a pair of working gloves and started in with eager anticipation. "I guess we had better try it on another piece first. Get me that little stool from the library. I never liked the finish on that." Nora brought the foct-stool and Helen dipped her cloth in the oil, then in the powdered pumiop-stone. and began rubbing gently. It was fascinating work, and when she wiped off the paste with a soft cloth the effect was magical. It had taken off not only the objectionable shine, but all the smeary finaer prints, and left a soft, dull lustre. "I KNEW we could do it!" triumphantly. Emboldened by this easy success, Helen promptly started on the china closet. As the polish was much higher, she reasoned she would have to rub harder. Having no longer any fear that th pumice might scratch, she vigorously went to work on one of the drawers which divided the upper and lower cupboards. "Be careful, ma'am. I wouldn't rub too hard," warned Nora. 'Oh, this pumice is so tine it can't hurt, it," reassuringly. But this time when she wiped off the paste she was horrified to find that she had rubbed through both varnish and stain to the bare, light wood. Nora gave a littlecry of dismay, aim Helen stared at the bare spot with a ?i(k boating of her heart. Had she ruined it? "Go back to that paint store," excitedly, "say we rubbed to hard and took oil' the varnish, and that we want some mahogany stain -or maybe he can .-uggesi something better. Quickly as vim can!" Nora returned with a small can of mahogany stain. Hut when Helen brushed it over the bare spot it stood out in a crude reddish shade very different from the rieh, dark mahogany of the china closet. "Oh, it is ruined, it is ruined," wailed Helen. "Right on the drawer where it shows the most! Oh, what wil Warren say what shall 1 do?" In the next half hour Helen had tried lead pencils, crayon, brown shoe polish and other foolish futile experiments to darken that light spot. At last in desnaiation she decided to take out the drawer and send it by Nora to the dealer to whom she had telephoned alst. The drawers were small and Nora could easilj cari down both; so very lightly she rubed down the other one to the desired dull finish. "Now Nora, I want you to explain this very carefully. Tell him I am going to rub down the whole piece like this, and 1 want him to restain and do over the other drawer in EXACTLY this linish. Ask him what he will charge -but whatever it is you will have to leave it. And we must have it tomorrow." When Nora had gone, Helen went to work on the rest of the closet, and after an hour's very careful and very liht rubbing, the piece was transformed. Hut the joy she would have taken in this task wis spoiled by the thought of the drawers. What excuse could she give Warren for having sent them away. She could think ot nothing better than to suy she was having the locks changed. If only she could tell him the truth! Hut since he had warned her to leave it alone, he would storm out at her and claim she had ruined it. "What, did he say?" eagerly wh n Nora finally came back. "Can he it?" "He said he would try, ma'am, but that he couldn't sent it to you before Saturday. He had to put on three coats and give them time to dry." Saturday! The china closet would be disfigured until Saturday! She was positive Warren's first question would be " Where's the drawers?" and she carefully rehearsed her answer. But when a little after six she heard him come in, her heart beat guiltily. "Well, how is the china closet?" was his greeting as he 6trode straight into the dining room. "Oh, I think it is wonderful!" trying to hide her nervousness. "Look how perfectly it fits in that corner! Don't you love that top? And the legs oh, I'm wild about those legs! Wait, I will show you a cut in that book of English furniture almost exactly like it." Helen ran into the library and came back with the book, nervously turning the pages. Why didn't he ask about the drawers? "There were no keys to the draw

ers, so I sent them out to have them fitted," she volunteered, disconcerted j at his silence. "Ura-mii," grunted Warren lion- committally. "Here it is," giving him the book and pointing to the illustration. "You see the lines are just the same - those same legs and the same shaped top. And look what it says, 'A very fine specimen of an original Sheraton cabinet now in possession of the Hon. S. W. Partridge'." "ITm-m," with a keen scrunity over the now dull finish of the mahogany. "So you rubbed it down, did you."' "Didn't it come out beautifully?" hopefully. "Oh, if you had only seen that awful glazy polish!" j "What did you use?" "Just a little crude oil and powdered pumice stone. I called up one of the dealers and he told me how to do it." "Urn-um. Ought to have done your experimenting on a place where it wouldn't show. Now they will charge you as much to do over those drawers as they would to have rubbed down the whole piece." Helen gasped. "But dear" she began feebly. "Oh, cut u. Those drawers haven't any locks," running his finger along the upper drawer ledge. "Nothing to lock into. If you have got to lie, for heaven's sake tell one that will hold water." j

What Readers Believe About Married Life

WHERE IS WINIFRED? Palladium Editor I do not care a snap about Helen or Warren, and the scraps they have every day. What I want to know is: where is Winifred? Have they sent the dear little thing to its grandmother because Helen fears Warren might say something Y'inifred should not hear; or. does Warren fear that if Winifred stays too near her mother, she will become the some kind of a woman that his wife is? Editor's Note We will get a search warrant out for the little girl. We miss her, too. Of course, the last time she appeared in the story, Helen and Warren had an altercation about the price ot a winter coat for the child, and the argument might have induced Warren to send the child to Helen's parents.

THEIR HOME PERFECT. Editor Palladium Warren and Helen are opposite in physical and temperamental characteristics, and are, therefore, perfectly mated, I think. If Warren were more like Helen they would starve to death, because he woudn't have courage enough to buck the world for a living. If Helen were more like Warren they'd break up all the furniture fighting. As it is they just have little scraps that don't amount to any more than the cross words most people have in their homes. My husband and I think their home life is as near perfect as can be. .Mrs. I. B. C. ADMITS WEAKNESS. Editor Palladium I agree with Mrs. T. J. K., who wrote yesterday that Warren has brute instincts which women can not resist. We hate to admit it, but the man who can dominate our wills and dictate to us in a masterly way, is the man we love and want to be near. B.
