YOU FURMSII TUE 31RLWE FURBISH THE HOME

"Don't mix up tho? flies which I'm away," said Margaret Bailey as she closed up the desk for her annual vacation. Til leave the check for the Fatherless Children of France society, with you, Misd Marshall. Ju.n mall It In as usual. I'm not goins to leave. my address because 1 do not know Just where I am golnr to stay. However, if any matter of great Importance comes in and you must get in touch with me, a note to Quebec, will probably reach me." Margaret Bailey held a very exacting position in a broker's ollice. Since

her father's death eight years before, she had practically supported her mother and little sister and brother. Some of the youncer ones were now able to work and for the flrpt time in her life, Margaret Ba'iley felt

she could afford to take her vacation far away from home. She had decided on Canada. A week or so before she stopped Into a tourist agency to ask about a trip. Large placards about the ofnce advised the tourist to ' Summer in Canada, nearest of our Allies." And so Miss Margaret decided to spend her vacation in Quebec. The train, was pulling into Montreal before Margaret realized that for the first time In her life, she, Margaret Bailey, had set foot upon foreign soil. She was on the tjoat bound for Quebec before she began to notice a decided change in manners and customs. A dear old lady, a passenger on the boat, stood near Margaret looking silently into the water. Suddenly 6he exclaimed. "O man dieu, mon dieu how dreadful it must be to be attacked by a submarine!" Miss Margaret looked at her and said very sweetly, "Don't worry. No

submarines can get Into the St. Lawrence." "I can scarcely wait to get home," said the old lady. "You, too, are going to Quebec?" "You live In Quebec, I presume," said Margaret, a quizzical expression on her pleasant face. "I call it home. I've been down in the States since the war brolce oat. I am going to visit my eister on the outskirts of Quebec. And how happy I shall be when I get there, Jacques, Jacques, he is there. Just back from France! And wo thought him dead! We mourned him. But he lives, mon dieu, ho lives!" Margaret led the old lady, now shaking with emotion, to a steamer chair and tried to eoothe her. The deck steward was serving afternoon tea before the old lady offered any further comment. "We lived In France. My son, Jacques, was so happy. He lived for his little child. She never knew a mother's care, but her father lavished enough affection on her for both. Then the cruel war came. Jacques joined the colors. He placed his child with neighbors. We never

have heard a word, O mon dieu, I pray for her always that eho may be

safe from the iiunsi" Margaret was listening Jntently. "But how did your son get to Canada?" she eagerly asked. "He was reported dead, but later he was found in one of the hospitals, lie has been discharged. Ho had a nervous breakdown. He Is with my sister, near Quebec." "Perhaps you could tell me of some quiet place where I could get board at a reasonable rate," Margaret found herself saying. "You might try at my eister's. Come with me. I shall try to arrange It." A summer day was nearlng Ita end when a carriage bearing Margaret and the old lady drove up to the portico door of a quaint little white farmhouse. Honeysuckle scented the air. Ripe apples dangled frojm heavy laden boughs of the trees. Flaming firecracker flowers nestled at the base of the tiny white cottage. Presently the old lady's sister, wearing the queer bonnet of the Normandy peasant, appeared in the doorway. She clutched her sister ravenously. They kissed each other again and again. "Jacques, Jacques, come quick!' she called. "She is here! She is here!" The old lady was Introducing Margaret to her sister. Madam Marland, when a handsome soldier, wearing the uniform of his beloved France.

Ktpnned out on the veranda. His

bronzed skin attested trench life. His Ink black hair seemed even blacker against the white background afforded by the cottage. In another moment he had gathered his frail little mother in his powerful arms and, as tears of Joy ran down

his cheeks, he smothered her with ki&ses. The old lady turned to Margaret and said. "This Is my dear son, Jacques Cordet. And this," turning to Jacques, "is Miss Margaret Bailey from the States." As Margaret extended her hand to the soldier of France a flush she was unable to conceal crept. Into her otherwise pale face. Neither Bpoka, but each looked deep into the other's eyes for more than a moment. Then followed a wonderful weeSc.

Long walks into the country, trips on the river, moonlight hay rides all theso found Jacques and Margaret close companions. Already health and energy were coming to the girl. Slowly, but surely, Jacques's warshattered nerves were mending. They were ßeated on the rrver bank one night Jacques took Margaret's hand in his. Both were silent

for a few moments. Margaret broke the silence by asking, "Is yours a common name In Franc?" ' Jacques, like a startled dreamer, exclaimed, "Why, no, why do you ask me?" "I belong to an American society that takes care of the fatherless children of France. My charge Is a little girl of the same name as yours CordeL" "What Is her first name?" the soldier asked eagerly.

"Marie Marie Cordet. I have her picture," Margaret added aa she drew, the picture from her handbag.

Jacques struck a match. He gave

one glance at the picture, seized Margaret in his arms.

crushed her to him. "Mon dieu, mon dieu," he cried out. "Mon dieu, you have heard my prayers! A miracle nan been done. The woman I love he:, found and nourished my own dear baby. Margaret was crossing the international border line back Into the States. The customs ctflcer asked drolly, "Citizen of what country?" Margaret looked at tho man beside her and with beaming countenance, replied: "I am the wife of a citizen of Fiance." In due time, arrangements to bring Marie to America were completed. And when a certain old lady carae down the river to visit in the States again, she repeated again and again the romantic story of Jacques Cordet and Margaret Bailey. And she always concluded by saying, "And little Marie, who thought herself a fatherless orphan of France, found not only her father but a very lovable mother."

Bachelor Girl Reflections

Even' friend Is a looking-glass and we love the flattering ones best.

Why should any man have an aversion to marrying a flirt? A girl who has been kissed before is much less likely to wonder, after marriage, how other men make love.

Marriage is like a flreless-cooker. The toughest, if they remain In it long enough, sometimes come out sweet and tender. Once upon a time, you could be a teetotaler If you wanted to; but now, If you decline a man's offer to lead you to his wine-cellar, he acts as hurt as though you had beaten his only child.
