GIRL IN MINISTRY OF MA RINE STIRS PALI STATESMEN

She Married an Average Man BT ZOB BECKUST

Mile. Landry. Mile. Landry, daughter of the French minister of marine, has been given a position in the secretariat of th5 ministry of the marine by her father. Her appointment has created a stir in Paris because of the novelty of a woman holding a public office .there. Mile. Landry has taken deforces in philosophy and law and is considered extremely capable.

. I worked In the garden today as long as I felt able, then took some sewing out on the porch. Perhaps I was over-tired; per ha pa this is Just one . of my inevitable nervous days. Anyhow, try as I would to keep them out, gloomy thoughts forced their way into my head and - whirled . there like dead -leaves In autumn. After a while, in trying to thread my needle, I noticed it was growing dusk. I looked at my watch and saw with sui prise it was long past the

hour Jim usually comes home from the bridge works. The thought of Rose Green flashed into my mind.

Agatha Fardoe s hint: V Taint so

much her prettiness as 'tis her ways; she taken after her skylarkin' father," persistently pricked me, though I had net thought of it for weeks. What if Rose Green, typewriter and file clerk at the works, had appealed to Jim with her sweet, youthful fce and her taking ways? Could one Lame Jim for wanting to look at a charming girl once in a while perhaps as a change from looking at a wife who is ailing much of the time : she passes onto the unlovelioY aspects of approaching maternity? Ah! the tormenting thoughts and fears that beset the sensitized brain of the waiting mother! Silly thoughts, unfounded fears. I glanced down the road. As if some denuti spirit had arranged a tableau just to mock me, there stood Jim and Rose Green at the gate of her house, her hand in his, her rose petal face upturned smilingly. Clenching my hands and shutting my lips hard, I hurried into the house. I felt like crying, like laughing, like shrieking, like running about and beseeching some one to help me. I knew I -was silly. I knew I was unreasonable and ill and out of balance.

Quaint Costumes Shown in Art Exhibit Ball; Gallery to Be Open Wednesday Evening

I fled up to my bedroom aud Blared at myself in the glass.. Was I still pretty? Had I lost all girllshness and grace? Were my clothes fresh and becoming and as charming as I could 'procure? The mirror encouraged me. I ran downstairs and met Jim. just coming in the door. "Oh, Jimmie, what kept you so

late?" I blurted out excitedly. Jim took me in his arms and kissed me comfortingly.

"Am I late?" he asked in a tone of such genuine surprise that I felt worse than ever. "Nearly an hour," I said coldly. "But time does pass qulckyl when one is Interested in a new and charming personality. 1 suppose I must get used to It. I'm Just just a a wife." Jim caught the bitterness in my tone. "Why, you silly pussy kitten!" he

cried, pretending to shake me. "What !

crazy idea have you got under your flaming topknot now? Because I talked to Rose Green, that that child? Why, the poor youngster has been planting herself in my path for a week

I trying to get a. few worde with me- I got tired of having hei4 under foot, so : I cent for her. this evening and . gave her a chance to talk. She wanta to go to New York." "And what have you to do with her

going to New York?" I questioned, unmollified. "Oh, advice, letters of Introduction, references, fatherly stuff," answered Jim with a dismissing gesture. "Now let's forget it, silliness ,and have dinner." The woman rmeembers it and won-

!ders what the girl's real motives are.
