: The Thrifty \ Kind * By MARY LOUISE CROMIER * t (©. 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) When the engagement of Al Roper and Mary Paine was announced there was general rejoicing not unmixed with relief among the third-floor staff of Hodge & Son’s department store. The third floor — rugs, linoleums, lamps, sewing machines and graphophones—was Al's own particular domain. The vast, sun-lighted rooms with their mirror-like floors, rich oriental rugs, exquisite hangings and polished furniture, were tangible evidence that dreams sometimes do come true. In the dingy, one-room shop where Hodge & Son laid the foundation for their present successful business, Al had dreamed of just such a third floor as this. He was twenty-eight when the czar —Henry Hodge, Sr., in the business directory—had seen fit to give him the managership of his third floor. “You deserve It, my boy,” the old man had complimented in his best manner. “And now I suppose It won’t be long before there will be a Mrs. Roper and—er—a lot of little Ropers, eh?” He had chuckled raucously and winked at the typists who huppeued to be In the manager’s office at the time. They had smiled and lowered their eyes. Lucille Rickson alone looked complacent and assured. She had been out with Al the night before—dinner at the Ritzmore and afterwards the Jollies —and he had gently intimated that he liked her appearance. This in itself was not particularly significant, but, coyly argued Lucille, might It not lead to something that was? It might, but as a matter of strict historical accuracy, It never did. For at the psychological moment, as the novelist of another daj’ would put it, our heroine stepped In to claim her own. A word or two about the heroine. Any well-informed correspondence course in story writing will tell you that a short story without contrast is like caviare without sauce, relish without spice. So, for the sake of contrast, we must describe Mary Paine. She was small, demure and child like of face; she wore soft, ruffly pink things that reminded you of a peach packed in a crate of excelsior. And she shuddered daintily when anyone said “darn” or some other horrible, masculine expletive in her hearing. After Lucille —voluptuous, competent Lucille who wore decollete evening gowns, sported open-work stockings and met nature half way with a lipstick in one hand and a bottle of hrilliantine in the other —Mary Paine swept Al's horizon like a refreshing sea breeze in the wake of a dusty tornado. He invited her out to dinner—at the Ritzmore. But on this point Mary shook her unbobbed head firmly. “No,” she demurred quietly, “let us go to Francois’. It’s ever so much more Inexpensive there. At the Ritzmore you pay for the name.” Al consented readily. To tell the truth, he was delighted. She was the thrifty kind. At Francois' and later in the balcony of the Populace Palace —Mary had insisted upon the balcony —he learned that she loved to co.ik, wanted to spend the rest of her life just puttering about s home of her own, and adored children. In a month they were married and lived in a six-room bungalow within commuting distance of the city. The next twelve months brought Al into the nearest sort of paradise he had ever known. Coming home on a sultry July night he would find Mary waiting to greet him with a kiss, and looking as coolly inviting as though she had not spent the afternoon in a hot kitehen preparing a meal that would presently make his mouth water. Indeed, their happiness threw an atmosphere of doubt about the traditional storminess of the first year. No, the first year was smooth enough. It was the second year that brought out the storm clouds. Coming home on another sultry July night. Al did not find Mary waiting for him with a kiss. Her lips were pursed over a letter she was holding and she scarcely noticed him at all. “Good news?” he asked. “It’s from an agent.” Mary replied, nodding. “He’s got a flat that will just suit us. Eighty-five a month. Heated, of course —” “But I don’t want to move,” Al protested. “I like it here. And you—” “I hate it'.” she told him vehemently. “I want to live where I can meet people—real people. Not the kind that just drop in to borrow something. I’m not an old married woman yet.” They moved into the new flat in September. It had four rooms, and these were absurdly small. As Al observed, they made you feel like a particularly large bull in a very small china shop. Life changed with their advent in the

AZTEC GIRL WAS FIRST FLAPPER

Important Addition to History Comes as Result of Investigation Made by the Learned Men. Archeologists, ethnologists, biologists, anthropologists and all of the other "ologists," have been bending every effort to find out the scientific origin of the genus "flapper,” and at last they have traced her to her source, says the New York Sun. At first they thought that it might be Cleopatra, hut upon investigation it was decided that it could not possibly be she, as history says that upon the death of her favorite “finale hopper,” Mark Antony, she committed suicide, thus proving that she had a heart after all, and it was impossible to call her a flapper. The graybeards kept at work nevertheless, and at last their search was rewarded. The true original flapper was found in the person of Chachiuhnenetzin, daughter of the Mexican king Axaiacatzin. This lady fitted the case exactly, for the records of the Aztec

city. Mary slept late mornings—too many card parties, she presumed—and Al fell Into the habit of cooking his own breakfast on the little electric stove In the absurd parody of a kitehen. When he came In at night Mary was usually out with some of the "real people.” Al had his Ideas about the latter and he mentioned them to her once or twice. “I'don’t want to interfere with your friendships, dear,” he would begin, reluctantly, “but don’t you think this Mrs. Chism you’re running around with is a bit fast? Smoking and swearing, 1 mean—” Mary looked bored. “Oh, Amy’s all right,” she replied, carelessly. "By the way, she thinks the living room ought to be refurnished in the new Tudor period style. Tudor’s coming In again.” Tudor came in again to the tune of —AI couldn’t remember the exact figure. A staggering amount. His head ached and buzzed and whirled so much these days that he could hardly remember anything. Even Ids former pride—the third iioor—was being forgotten. The Czar gave him one or two sharp hints about the matter. But Al, desperately trying to deduct an income tax and sundry debts from his salary, and still have enough left for the new sedan Mary had insisted upon, scarcely heard him. Then, one night came the blow which his blind eyes could never have foreseen. A curt letter of dismissal. His services—no longer required. He walked home, not bothering or thinking to turn up his overcoat collar against the driving sleet. And every foot of the way one thought kept pounding through his dazed brain: How was he going to tell Mary?. As he turned a sharp corner he nearly came into a collision with a woman in a fur coat. “I beg your pardon,” she began, pantlngly, “this sleet is so—why, it’s Al, isn't It? You remember me? Lucille. Yes, I'm married now to Jimmy Dargin. He’s doing real well in the hardware business and expects to have a store of Ids own soon. It takes time, though—and money. I’m helping some with my shop—selling lamp shades, you know. How is Mary? That’s good. I always’did say you were wise to marry her instead of me, Al. She's such a nice, thrifty kind —well, come out ami see us some time. I’d love to have you meet my kiddies. We re out at Twin Oaks, 216 Grant street. Oh, there’s my car at last. Don't forget—--216 Grant.” “Such a nice, thrifty kind," Al repeated to himself as he trudged on through the slush to his flat. "Nice, thrifty kind.” At the door of the flat he stopped, caught 4»y the hum of voices Inside. Suddenly his wife's voice—drawling, affected, artificial—rose above the others. He leaned weakly against the jamb and listened. “Well, perhaps not this year, my dears. But next spring I'm determiins! to go abroad. Oh, yes. 1 suiqiose his nibs will fuss, but I'll bring him around. Think of it! The bay of Naples, the Riviera, the Bois de Boulogne, with the horse-chestnuts in bloom, Venice by moonlight— Raising Flax in America. The hope has always been held out by the Department of Agriculture that the raising of flax of a tine quality may become an important industry in this country. Experiments in this direction have, it Is said, proved most successful around Puget sound, in the state of Washington. The soil and the climate there are held to be equal for flax raising to those of the best tlax-produdng regions of Europe. Puget sound flax has been experimented with at one of the great linen factories in Ireland, and found to be of excellent quality. Why Lower Teeth Last. "The reason that the front lower teeth rarely decay and often last through life when all the other teeth have gone,” said Dr. C. DeWitt Henry of New York, “is that they are always bathed in an alkaline solution. It is the acids of the mouth that make the teeth decay. The salivary glands in the cheeks pour out a slightly acid fluid, those situated under the tongue pour out an alkaline fluid. The back teeth are constantly bathed in an acid and therefore decay first. The lower front teeth are so situated that the alkaline secretion from under the tongue floods them and preserves them from decay.” Popular With the Press. “Did you ever charge the press with misquoting you?” “Never,” replied the experienced officeholder. “As a result I have so many friends among eminent journalists that if I were to make a speech on relativity my home papers would put it on the front page with headlines intimating that I had solved the problem.” —Birmingham Age-Herald. Many Unnecessary Deaths. From 12 to 14 years have been added to the average human life in the last half century, due to the progress of medical science. But 600,000 persons still die in the United States anually from preventable diseases.

court described her as a vamp par excellence, plainly some chicken, and absolutely without heart, and yet withal one of the most accomplished petters in the wide realm of Anhuac. It is said of her that, finding that she had an unlimited field in which to eat cake, drink cold “tea” and pet the boys, she immediately started out to get a collection of mementos. Her methods were unique. After she had thoroughly vamped a likely looking finale hopper and petted him as long as the nov- ; elty lasted she had her servants kill the poor creature and make a statue that she could keep In her apartment. From the subsequent history it appears that she finally acquired such a collection that she was on the point of having to sleep in the streets to make room for her statues, when she got her dates mixed and had three of the candidates for winding sheets in on the same evening, with the result that the boys got wise, as did also the paterfamilias, and, manlike, they "snuffed *her out."

LESSON FOR MARCH 11 JESUS IN GETHSEMANE LESSON TEXT—Luke 22:39-48. 54. GOLDEN TEXT—Christ also nath once suffered for our sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.— I Peter 3:18 REFERENCE MATERIAL—Matt 4:1-11; 26:23-46; 1 Cor. 10:13; Heb. 4:15, 16. PRIMARY TOPIC—An Angel Helps Jesus. JUNIOR TOPlC—Jesus Prays for Strength. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —How to Stand the Hardest Test. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Submission to the Father’s W ill. I. Jesus at the Mount of Olives (v. 30). He went fom the upper room . nder cover of night to the garden of Gethsemane. Gethsemane means oil press. It is a place where the oil was crushed out of the olives. There is a striking significance in Jesus' coming to this place. Olive oil was precious, being used both for food and lighting. The bruising and crush Ing of Christ in this garden has yielded the largest blessings in the world. It has provided food for men's souls and light for their lives. 11. His Companions (»v. 39, 40). Peter, James and John, who had been with Him on the Mount of Transfiguration, were permitted to go with Him into the deep shadows of the garden. He took those who were best able to apprehend the meaning of the tragic hour to be His sympathizing companions. This vas needed to prepare them as His witnesses. Then, too, as a Luman being He craved sympathy. Jesus Praying (vv. 41-44). 1. He Withdrew From the Disciples (v. 41). Even these disciples of the "inner circle” could not go with him. He tore himself away from them for He must be alone in this darkest hour. He kneeled down and prayed. 2. What He Said (vv. 42-44). "If thou be willing remove this cup from me." The cup did not mean the physical sufferings of the cross, though they were very great. He <!!<! not now desire to escape from the cross and thus stop short of His redemptive work, for this was the supreme purpose of His coming Into the world (Heb. 2:14). It was rather the revelation to Him by the cross which loomed before Ulm, of His identification with sin In becoming the world s Redeemer. By virtue of the holiness ami perfection of His nature, lie could do nothing else than shrink from it. He saw in this bearing of the sins of the world the turning away of His Father's face. Knowing what was before Him, He came to Gethsemane for this hour, and in It He consciously brought his human will into accord with the divine will. Though the cup was bitter he bowed in submission to the Father's will. So great was this agony that Ills sweat was as It were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. In this crucial hour an angel from heaven strengthened him. IV. The Disciples Sleeping (vv. 45, 46). They had boasted of their fidelity, but could not watch with Him for an hour. He had issued a word of warning to them, but they were so benumbed with sorrow that they failed. He gently rebuked them, ami commanded that they rise and pray lest they enter into temptation. V. Jesus Betrayed (vv. 47, 48). 1. The Betrayal (v. 47). This was done by Judas, one of the twelve. He hud enjoyed the most intimate relations with the Lord, eating with Him. listening to His teaching, witnessing His marvelous miracles and enjoying His confidence. 2. The Sign of Betrayal (v. 47). It was the kiss, the token of the most tender affection and friendship. He now degrades it by making it the token of disloyalty and treason. Jesus’ words to this infamous disciple shows the infinite tenderness of His lieart If Judas had been at all human this pathetic appeal would have smitten him to the very heart. How many professing disciples have proven their disloyalty to the Master and even betrayed Him. All who bear the name, Christian, and especially ministers and teachers who deny the virgin birth. Deity and vicarious atonement of Christ are following In the footsteps of Judas. May each one Inquire, "Lord, is it I?” VI. Jesus Arrested (v. 54). The multitude uround with swords ami clubs led by Judas invaded the sucred precincts of the garden and a nested Tesus and brought Him before the high priest. We, Too, Can Shate. In our own degree, we, too. can share our Savior’s sense of mission. We can approach every event with the consciousness of divine appointment. To possess this immediate circumstance of the Lord, whether it be bright or dark, that is the meaning of all my previous journey. It Is the interpretation of the divine leading. I have been brought up to this hour; now let me seize it foi God!—J. H. Jowett. Spiritual Giving. The giving of our money to God’s work is an intensely spiritual act. Our willingness to give our money is the expression of our faith, oar interest, our desire to give help to others, and these are the very elements of spiritual life. —Bishop Manning. Religion. Religion should be to every man: not merely a creed but an experience: not a restraint but an inspiration; not in insurance for the next world but a irogram for the present world. —Janies Staiker.

SINGS WITH JOY I WHILE AT WORK Mrs. Banes Says Tanlac Ended Indigestion, Sourness and Palpitations and Made Labors Light. “Tanlac has helped me so much I wish everyone suffering like I did would follow iny suggestion to use it,” said Mrs. Sadie Banes, 2037 Washington St., Kansas City. Mo., the other day. “Before I took Tanlac my appetite was so poor It seemed beyond cultivation, and the little I managed to eat gave me indigestion and caused awful sourness and palpitation. I was simply miserable from nervous headaches, dizziness and knlfe-llke pains In my back, always slept poorly, and felt so bad that at times I just had to quit my housework and lie down. “Tanlac was so well suited to my case that it has only taken three bottles, half of the full treatment, to restore me to perfect health. It makes me so happy to be without an ache, pain or trouble of any kind that I go about my work humming and singing. I just can’t help rejoicing over what Tanlac has done for me.” Tanlac Is for sale by all good druggists. Over 35 million bottles sold.— Advertisement.

An examining physician for one of the prominent lase Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why ao many applicants for insurance are rejected ia because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
