EAR me, I hope the Johusous’ll be
here,” Mrs. Briggs said, uneasily.
She had deposited a large parcel
on the serving table of the small
private dining room where the
Saturday Dinner club was In the
habit of taking Its weekly feast,
a parcel that appeared to be too
precious for Horace Brigg's clumsy
paws. The remaining nine mem
bers of the club were in their
places, and many an anxious eye
Jiad been cast in the direction of
the serving table when the door
opened and the tardy ones burst
in, bubbling with suppressed ex

“Wonder If they’re bringing eats.” big Bill Smith
muttered, under his breath, lie had been as
sured that the Briggs parcel was not good for the
digestion.
“I don’t want nnybody to look while I get It
ready. No fair peeping,” Ada Johnson warned, as
she bent over a chair in the remote corner of the
room. In an amazingly long minute she relieved
the anxiety of the crowd by setting in the center
of the table a mound of Easter eggs, colored in
the most ingenious fashion and bearing the names
of all the club members. “They’re warranted hard
boiled, will not shrink, warp or rub off, and they’re
to be carried home in the tall pocket of every
fellow’s dress suit,” Johnson explained.
“Humph, I know a better place to carry eggs
than that,” was Bill’s suppressed comment.
“Shall I open mine before or after dinner,”
Mrs. Briggs asked, the shine having been rather
rudely brushed from her surprise by the hasty
appearance of the eggs.
“I should say you’d have to open it before you
eat it,” Jones gibed.
“I didn’t mean the egg. I was tulking about
that,” and she Indicated the carefully wrapped
box on the serving table, just as the waiter ar
rived with the anchovy paste. So It was not until
the interval between soup and roast that she got
around to the openings of the Easter surprise.
“How perfectly beautiful! How Interesting!
How unique!” cam# in chorus from the ladies, as
she passed out the gifts—made of Easter cards
of by-gone years, cut out and mounted to form a
mat for an unusually pleasing kodak picture of
the Briggs. The edge of mat and glass had been
cleverly bound in soft gray green.
“I hate you, Vera Briggs,” Mrs. Jones ejaculuted.
“I couldn’t passe-partout a picture as neatly as
this is done if I worked a week at it. And as for
combining these Easter lilies and angels and oth
er et ceteras —well, I suppose it’s a gift. I look at
hats in the windows or on people’s heads, and I
think I’ll go right straight home and get out my
old velvet and ostrich feathers and make a swell
hat for myself instead of blowing sls for it. And
do you know, the most graceful plume in the
world would get as rigid as a poker the minute
I get my fingers on it? It makes me sick to see
the things other women caD do."
“I’d trade my skill at making pictures and trim
ming hats for the ability to concoct u salad the
way yon do it.” Mrs. Briggs retorted. “Every
thing I know about cooking I've had to grub for.
I have to have a cook book glued to the end of my
nose, and all my wits about me. And I could die
of envy when I see you flip things together with
out even looking to see how much you're taking,
and have the dish turn out simply delicious.”
“There, I love you again,” May Jones bubbled.
‘Tin going to hang this Easter picture in my bed
room, and every time I look at it I’ll reflect that
mv one poor talent isn’t so stupid after all. And,
say, Vera, any time you want to get out of cooking
a meal, there’s loads of old feathers and hat
shapes and velvet in the old trunk, up in the at
tic.”
“Say, girls, if you’ll cut it out, I’ll tell you a
story,” Mrs. Jones’ husband broke In. “It's right
in season too. I got the last chapter of It while
I was out on the road this past week, and the
first installment carne my way when I was a

began in Western New York, and
some of you know tlie hero, I’m
morally certain. I reckon it’ll be
safe to tell his name right here in
the buzzum of the family, but to la
on the safe side, I’ll call him Stan
ley. He manufactures something
that’s advertised in all the big mag
azines, and most of the Indies use
It to help out their complexion. Any of you that
have been to guessing school can finish out his
name for yourselves.”
“Oh, I know,” little Mrs. Smith twinkled. “I
always buy his dental cream. Bill won’t let me
put the massage stuff on my face. Says my
skin’s good enough, and he "
“You’re next, all right,” Jones assured her.
“Stan used to be the liveliest fellow in our crowd.
Folks said nothing less’n a cyclone or having a
leg cut off would ever settle him down, lie had
lots of sense, and could learn anything he set his
mind to. Trouble with him was Unit tilings came
too easy. He liked to strum a guitar and dance
and skate and ride a wheel and make love to the
girls. When I met him Inst February I couldn't
believe he was the same chap. There’s nothing
like smashing a man’s heart to settle him down.”
“I find that the cares of a family have the same
effect,” Bob White said, solemnly, whereat the
other members of the dub laughed.
“I like the family, hut I’ve sometimes thought
it would be a good scheme to take the caves by
proxy, 1 tie way you do," Briggs remarked. “Your
sister’s kids and the kids of the club have made
quite a serious decent man of you."
“Stan didn’t have any kids, nor even any nieces
and nephews, to pester him. If la- had, it wouldn’t
have gone so hard with him,” Jones averred. “He
was the only child, and his mother -lied when lie
was about fifteen. He anil ids dad and an old
maid aunt lived together, ami I reckon he hud to
tear around a good deal to keep from dying of
of slow stagnation in that house. He couldn't
have been more’n 23 when two new girls came to
town. He’d run the gamut of all the old girls, and
he wasn’t the sort to fall in love witli a girl he’d
grown up with. Not tint what lie could have had
any of ’em for the asking. Oh, he wasn’t what
you call a flirt,” as lie caught the look in Mrs.
Johnson’s eyes. “Stan didn’t break any hearts.
He took care to let the girls know It was all play,
and I suppose he never would have got In dead
earnest If It hadn’t been for the two strangers
that dropped in on us the same week. One of ’em
was a tall girl, with serious dark eyes and a rieh
contralto voice. She'd been studying art, in New
York, and her folks were all in Europe for the
summer, and she didn’t want to go along, so they
sent her out there to visit her uncle and do some
sketching.
"The other girl was u tiny hit of a thing, with
yellow hair and big brown eyes and a complexion
like peaches and cream. When she sang It re
minded you of a Baltimore oriole. When she
danced she made you think of a trick pony In a
circus. She could cut more dainty little capers
and do. more amusing tliliigs’n any dozen girls
I’d cv6r seen. I met her the same night Stan did,
and we’d both met the other girl a couple of
nights before. I saw in a second that there was
going to be something doing in the old town that
summer. And I didn’t miss my guess, I can tell
you. Half the hoys were dead crazy about the
little girl, anil stie didn’t make any hones of h<-r
preference for Stan. Well, I woke up to the fact,
one starlight night, that the mil one was in love
with him. I had a yearning for her myself, and
that's how I carne to surprise the secret from tier.
“Stan had paid her a lot of attention, all rigid,
and it was a clear case of the little vixen rutting
her out, for the fun of showing us that she could.
But lie didn't get up his nerve to propose iiii al
most the end of summer, and -ban she led him
right up to tin• climax. She got dead serious for

life meant (111 she met him. So he suggested help

rubbish that a man talks when lie’s embarrassed
and don’t know wlmf to say and the little divvil,
pardon me, it’s all I can call her, laughed la Ids
face. Said she didn't want to marry him, that he
made an elegant summer beau, but was tfto Highly
for a husband.”
“She’ll act punished for It, mark my word,”
Mrs. IS Haas insisted.
“She did —last Tuesday. That's what I’m com
ma to. She went back to New York, and so did
the tall girl, and Stan went to the demnitfoa bow

So he divorced her, after he’d blacked one of her

names. After that she had various kinds of hard
times, and finally about a year ago she went to

FIFTEEN YEARS
OF BLACK-DRAUGHT
Black-Draught Highly Recom
mended by Illinois Man for
Liver and Stomach Disor
ders.—Used It for Fif
teen Years.
Singertpn, 111.—“For fifteen years
we have used Thedford’s Black*
Draught, and have not as yet found
anything: that could take its place,”
writes Mr. W. F. Ulster, of this town.
“I have used it for Indigestion a num
ber of times, and it gives relief,"
continues Mr. Ulster.
“For sour stomach, n heavy, bloated
feeling, it is splendid. And when the
liver gets torpid, so that when you
stoop and raise up suddenly you feel
dizzy, a few doses will set you straight.
“We keep it and use for consti
pation and the above troubles, and
find It most satisfactory. I can recom
mend it to others and gladly do so.
For the number of years I have used
Black-Draught now, I ought to know.”
In its 70 years of usefulness, Thed
ford’s Black-Draught has relieved
thousands and thousands of persons
suffering from the results of a dis
ordered liver. And, like Mr. Ulster,
many people feel that, after using
Black-Draught nothing can take its
place.
