Chapters From a Woman's Life By Jane Phelps

A BAD BEGINNING AND A GOOD ENDING I Chapter 33 After Claire aJid Mrs. Paige left I eat for half an hour without moving. My nerves were all on edge. She had been unusually exasperating and I could still hear Jennie slamming about noisily in the kitchen, a way she had of showing her anger. Finally with a sigh I went out to her. "We shall be alone all day, Jennie. Miss Gordon has taken Mrs. Page out for the day." "Glory be! I wish she'd keep her for good! Did she take that purp along?" "Yes." I sighed again. Jennie was repentant at once. Said she: "Now don't you go to feelin bad! I know I got cross this mornin' but that old woman would make a saint cross, and the good Lord knows I'm no saint. My temper gits the best of me when she comes round bossin'. No girl likes company tellin' her what to do. Then

that dog is always in her arms, she

making sick speeches to him. I can t

abide that animal, I can't! I feel like

takin' off my apron and quittin' every time she brings hem into the kitchen, callin' him 'pet and darlin' and such like." "But, Jennie, she won't stay much longer, perhaps. And I just can't teach another girl now. If you go I'll have to go too," I said laughing a little. "Sure now that's the queer thing you're sarin', you leave too' "Twouid be the grand joke on her." She laughed heartily and I knew that for the time

my battle was won. We worked hard all the morning. I even ate my luncheon in the kitchen fo we could accomplish all possible. We thoroughly cleaned Mrs. Page's room, I put up "fresh curtains, and some flowers on her table. I too had been rather disagreeable that morning and after all she was Walter's mother. As we worked I gave Jennie some directions about serving and dishing the food things Mrs. Page had spoken of and found fault with. I said nothing of her but allowed Jennie to think it was my own ideas. "It Is just as easy to do things the right way as the wrong when you get into the habit," I told her. "Sure it is! And I likes to do them

nice for you and Mr. Page. He's the one nice man in a house he is. I've worked where they ain't so nice and I know." "He would feel as badly as I if you should, leave us, Jennie," . I replied trying tactfully to make the girl contented until Mrs. Page left us. "And he is very fond of his mother. It hurts him when you are impudent." "It's the Irish in me," she said with a grin. "I can't keep from gettin' mad." "Keep that Irish in place if you can," I returned. Once more things would be serene in the kitchen for a little while. ' About 2 o'clock I was surprised to hear Walter'3 voice. "Get your duds on and we'll take a spin," he said, coming into my room, where with a dust cap on I was still working. "All right!" I snatched the cap off. "How comes?" I asked gaily.

TAFFETA FROCK IS QUAINTLY MADE FOR SCHOOL MISS

"I hare to go out Into the country a

ways, lhougnt you would like to go. Where's the mater?"

"Claire took her out in the country

this morning to see that Mrs. Eld-

redge." "Good work! Hurry now and we'll have a nice ride. I won't go back to the studio today. You need a little fun, I felt so sorry you were cheated out of the party; have been intending to make up for it in some way, but to

day was the Iirst chance I had. It s a i glorious day." Then: "Jennie," he; called, "we won't be back for dinner! ! Tell Miss Gordon she is to stay and i keep my mother company." J "Yes. sir," Jennie answered pleasant-1 ly. "I'll do my best to keep her. And I

it's fine you're takin' Mrs. Page out. j

She don t have much fun nowadays. Her smile fairly reeked with impudence, but Walter only laughed as he replied: "We must see she has more fun then." Tomorrow Another Honeymoon

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl IS years old. There is a young man in this town whom I go with and think a

lot of. There is another girl, about 14, who likes him and goes with him once in awhile and sometimes he takes her

to a show. When' she sees him with me she gets angry and doesn't speak to him. Sometimes he makes dates with me and never comes to see me. Then when I se him he has some excuse. Do you think I should quit going with him? Do you think he thinks anything of me since he makes a date and doesn't come to see me? BOBBIE. It is unpardonable for the young man to make a date with you and then fail to appear without excusing himself previous to the time he expected to be with you. An excuse afterward does not answer the purpose. The next time he does such a thing, tell him you are going to excuse him for the last time, and then stick to your word and drop him, if he disappoints you again. He likes you or he would not so to se vou, but he does not like or

respect you very deeply or he would keep his word.

MOTORIZED HAULING , IS CAUSING FARMERS OF U. S. BIG EXPENSE

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 27. American farmers are losing approximately $30,000,000 a year on their oats cep and probably a like amount on their hay crops through the use of automobiles, motor trucks and tractors which have largely supplanted the use of horses in the cities, according to Robert McDougal, president of the Chicago Board of Trade in analyzing the effect of motorized hauling on the horse and

grain market. Mr. McDougal believes, however; the pendulum is swinging the other way, pointing out that the prices on good draft horses are advancing. "In 1910 there were 3,500,000 horses

in the cities," said Mr. McDougal,

wnue in 1920 there was a trifle more than halft that number. Most city horses are fed upon oats and hay. Oats prices recently averaged 65 cents below wheat prices, where as before we began using gasoline they averaged 62 cents below wheat. This is a loss of three cents per bushel, which, based upon an average crop of one billion bushels, nets the farmer a tidy loss. "There is no doubt the big power tractor has reached the saturation point. In many farming sections highpowered tractors were bought by small

size farmers. It was a disastrous venture for many. In the cities, many businesses turned their backs upon hte horse for short hauls with frequent top. Today the farmer is feeding a yard of colts and the horse is coming into his own for short hauls.

PARIS PROPHETESS PREDICTS FASHIONS

Chile Changes View

About Re-establishing Relations With Pern SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 27. Chile's intention of re-establishing diplomatic relations with Peru as soon as ratifications of the Tacna-Arica protocol have been exchanged is believed to have changed in view of Peru's answer to Chile's invitation to the Pan-American

conference. In its reply forwarded about two W'eeks ago, the Peruvian government made reservations regarding the treatment of Peruvians in Chile. It is believed here that relations

could be re-established if the arbitra- j tors of the Tacna-Arica award obtained i information that the department of j state had been made cognizant of in

stances where Peruvian nationals were obliged either to serve in the Chilean

army or leave the country as alleged in the Peruvian note. Peru's presence at the March conference is considered here as improbable.
