"Turnn .lnt." you mp;in?" he asked course you're going!"
I .-prarg to my feet, turned upon him with as good an imitation of his manner on receiving the Stockbridge invitation as I could muster. "What!" I exclaimed. "Go to the house of a woman I never met and strut .around like some peroxided a torine. spieling to a lot of smirking, short-haired Greenwich villagers? Xoth-ing-do-ing. You're crazy. I ick! Detter go and have your bead ea minob" I was watching him carefully as I spoke, for my husband is a man of such unexpected moods that 1 had no idea whether my crude imitation of his own speech would arouse anger or laughter within him. I wasn't long left in doubt, howe 'er. At my first words he staren at me in blank amazement. Then the red Hush in his cheeks faded, and as ! finished 1 was looking into a face devoid of color, livid with anger. "I suppose thi.s is your woozy idea of a brilliant come-back at me for balking at that backwoods tea party you were so keen on," he said Icily. "Hut you cati take it from me it's in blasted poor taste. Why. I'll wager a fiver that there are dozens of women with just as brilliant social opr ortunities as those afforded by the Stockbridge.s" his tone relegated the principal, his wife and me to the hinterland of social exile "who would give their eye teeth to
be invited to this ftunt of Rita Prown's." "I Didn't Mean " I Fd my teeth with the determination not to let him see me cry, and waited until I could control my voice before answering. "No doubt you're right." I said indifferently at last, "but I will mak3 you a counter wager that the majority of the married women who attend that party will do so at the compulsion of their husbands, not of their own free will." I left the roorn as I finished speaking. wUh the best appearance of haughty deliberation J could manage, although I longed to rush wildly away. Put I was determined not to let Dicky guess the humiliated lury that w-is consuming me, ever though the explosive oath which echoed through the room as I left it told me tbat my husband was not so successful in concealing his feelings. It seemed miles to the shelter of my own room, and when at last I reached tt I gave way for a little time to the tears which had threatened me below stairs. I tried to make myself believe that my anger ami grief were caused wholly by Dicky' reception of my imitation of him. but I was too honest wholly to conceal from myself that my decpft humiliation lay in my consciousness of having forgotten the primary rules of good breeding in the parting insinuation 1 had thrown at Dicky. There was a stabbing hurt, too. in the knowledge that these w ere the first bitterly angry word.- Dicky and I had had since his home-coming. The difference we had over my school work had been a dignified sort of thing, one adjusted without temper. Put this fish-wife, caveman row humiliated me with its futility and cheat ness. tortured me with the fear that our new life together which had seemed so rosy with promise would be marred as of old with ugly Hashes of strife. A low embarrassed laugh sounded behind me. As I tried to rise, with the sudden consciousness: that I hail forgotten to lock my door when I entered the room, my husband's arms went around me. and I felt mv face lifted to his. ' "You win. hands down, old girl!" he said with an amused chuckle, and a sublime indifference to his anger of a few miruites before. "1 got you, all right, if it did take me a minute or two to get over the grouch. And I'll go to dea old Payview with my hair ir a braid and mv ears pinned back If. you'll call It quits." "I didn't mean a thing I said.
Dicky." T murmured happily to the tip of his left ear.

LECTURER GIVES IDEAS OF FAMO US LITERAR Y MEN
Sidney Linden, noted character impersonator of Cleveland, Ohio, wan very realistic in his illustrative reviews presented Tuesday afternoon before South Bend Women's club members and guests. It was Mr. Lundon's purposo to give his personal conception of a few of the men of the recent literary age who have laid the foundations' of the world's literature. In the first impersonation, Mr. Landon presented a study cf Victor Hugo, as he addresses the populace on the occasion of his SOth birthday after that fo-called e. Jtistical literary success has been invited to return to i'aris following his long enforced political and social exile. In contrast to the character of the French novelist Mr. Landon next portrayed the quaint character of Edgar Wilson Nye, familiarly known a.M "IMll Xye" to whom he alluded as u modestly successful man. In connection with thi.s interpretation Mr. Landon read sketches from Nye's lecture "Our Poy." In the presentation of the character of Hdgar Allen Poe. Mr. Landon displayed a sympathy and appreciation that made the study particularly ap-
"Oh! Oh! Oh my!" and a lot of other 0 -.-; scream? of one cf the you:;.. . ly rlrrks at one of the local banks, .aisiiig from the basement, whitn r she had gone to unlock a safety deposit box for one of the bunk's customers. It was a scream of fright; an appeal for help, and over and over again until much of tlie bank force had rushed down the stair, ostensibly to her rescue. And there they found her, still screaming for help. Just planted up against a post, while the bank customer with a sickly smile looked at her pitifuly and at her wouldbe rescuers with feigned nonchalance. Would they hold him responsible? They might: That runs something like his troubled brain, at lea;t for the moment, lie was casting about for an alibi but the band descending the stair weren't at least apparently. They proceeded as though at first, they hau anticipated a bank ro-'ber, and Mr. Bank Customer thought almost that he saw them armed with a 4 4 -calibre bull-dog in each hand, rings in their noses and ears, and knives between their teeth. "What were you doing- to that girl?" the bank teller demanded. So did the assistant cashier; fo the head bookkeeper. It was- quite of one voice but woefully void of harmony and naturally, as a thief when caught even though an Innocent thief Mr. Pank Customer's optics focused upon the floor, much to his relief. Pehold a mouse! Planted there midway between the foot of the stair and the entrance to the vault, it sat. calmly and serenely as tho rats that were enchanted by the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Mr. Pank Customer advanced "over the top" and deposited his forward foot forthwith on the little culprit, which never budged, made no effort to escape whatever. And then the dispute! Had tho mouse been lulled into insensibility by the "babble of tongues," the screams of the frightened young vsoman, or had some mischievous gazzahoo put it there, for the purpose of creating a scene? Anyhow it was rather a defunct mouse. Aral lastly, did Mr. Pank Customer slip down stairs in advance, and plant the mouse there for an alibi to be used in case the screams of the young lady should get beyond him and attract attention? The investigatorrs left that to her to answer, and she not only answered, but proved it. "Yes, it was the mouse," she said. "He never touched me," and rushing- up ft airs she saw something on the floor of the bank lobby, and such a dancer of the highland -fling you never Faw. One of the other girls was heard to remark to her about that time
that she was awful glad it wa her and not her!

IH.t figs arc now obtainable in abundance, and as they are a most wholesome dried fruit they should be :erved frequently. Certainly they are usually more acceptable at rhe table than the lowly prune, although, having somewhat less flavor than the prune, it is necessary to add some additional seasoning when cooking them. FiiT-s may be served plain, stewed, baked or in pudding form. Thi rig custard is excellent for the children's lunch. Stcwc-d Tig's. VV.ish the dried figs and then cover with cold water and let soak over night. In the morning stew gt-ntly in the same water in which they luv? soaked until tender. Then add a h ilf- upf ul of surar and the juier of half a lemon, and continue to sinim?r until a thick syrup Is formed.
