The Modest Little Home That
Was Happy, Though Poor.
By AGNES DILLON.
{Copyright, 1500, by Associated Literary
Press.J
Mrs. Lewis Adelbert Simms paused
a moment as the automobile deposited
her on the walk before a flat building
that, to say the least, was battered,
though pathetically respectable look
ing. ’■
"Dear me!" she said faintly. Then
she turned sharply on the imperturb
able driver. "Do you menu to say,”
she asked rather fretfully, "that tills
Is 2125 Rosetnere court V”
“The same." said the hired driver.
"Two twenty-five, please.”
As Mrs. Siinins opened the elaborate
gold mesh purse she carried she was
conscious of a bewildered surprise. Of
course she had known Carrie hud not
married wealth, but Carrie's letters in
the years during which they had not
Been each other lmd been so cheerful!
How any woman could be cheerful liv
ing on this little side street was beyond
Betty Simms.
Still bewildered and holding her
trailing skirts daintily, she entered Un
building. and another surprise met her.
There was no elevator, and Mrs. Lewis
Adelbert Simms was used to having
elevators when she needed them. Ap
parently there was nothing to do but
to climb, and to the fourth floor too!
Each step added to her amazement.
It was impossible to picture Carrie
as harassed by poverty. Ill their
school days she had been one of the
regal creatures the mere sight of
whom called up visions of ermine and
old lace, of lackeys and gold coin.
They had all been sure Carrie would
marry a millionaire. When she did
marry she wrote Betty Simms, wlm
had indeed married a millionaire, much
to every one's surprise, being a small,
quiet, demure little creature of no ap
parent brilliance, one of her charac
teristic letters.
"Mother is furious," Carrie wrote
cheerfully, "because Tom isn't rich. 1
can't make her see we shall be far too
busy just being- happy to have the
mere matter of money count. As for
that, some day Tom will bo rich, lie
has the brains!"
And this was all Tom’s brains had
done for Carrie in six years! When
she had written Carrie she would pass
through her town and wanted to look
her up the prompt reply and invitation
to luncheon had not mentioned those
three flights of stairs. Perhaps Carrie
was so used to them she had not
thought. Mrs. Simms pressed the but
ton beside the door.
There was a clatter of feet down in
the inside hall and a woman’s voice in
laughing protest, and the door opened
to precipitate a small sized avalanche
of small boy and barking, woolly dog
almost into the astonished arms of the
caller. Behind the avalanche stood
C.t rrle.
"Betty at last!" she cried. “Anthony,
let the lady in! Take Sub away. We
call the dog Substitute because lie's
such a ridiculous imitation of a real
hearty dog."
Mrs. Simms found herself drawn by
her friend across the tiny hall into the
living room, and there the two took a
good look at each other. Carrie, tlie
regal Carrie, siuou clad in a bine and
white wash shirt waist suit that would
not be injured by entry into tbe
kitchen. Above it the old brilliant,
eager face, thinuer, with hints of lines
atid with its interested, searching
brown eyes, looked down us of old on
Betty Simms in bur Baris wrap and
her trading gown. There was a com
passion in Betty's eyes that shone forth
unknown to her. and Carrie laughed
her old gay laugh.
"You paid at least $40 for that love
of a hut, Betty." she said, "hut per
haps you won't mind taking it off and
laying it on my $10.50 bed.”
"it’s a bird of paradise." said Betty
mechanically as she struggled with
the hatpins. The dresser silver was the
same Carrie hud had at school, with
no additions. The dresser scarf was
only hemstitched scrim, and the bed
spread. though dainty, was of a flow
ered silkollue that Betty knew in her
soul had been picked up for a few
cents u yard.
Still dazed, she followed her hostess
back into the little parlor. In spite
of its smallness It looked bare. Not
a superfluous article adorned its walls.
Tiie mantel boasted a single ornament
—a jar of quaint pottery. The books
on the table, however, were plentiful.
Tbe single small rug on the waxed
floor was an oriental. Through the
| treli the dining room table showed,
j weathered oak. artistic., but the cheap
est of woods.
"Toil me all about yourself. Betty."
lierWiostess was hogging.
For an instant Mrs. Lewis Adelbert
Simms groped for words. "Why." she
laughed, a trifle ruefully, “there isn’t
j anything to tell! 1 just pot married.
and life goes on. and there are lots of
! parties and dinners, and things, and
I I always seem to be in a terrible rush.
I nr else Lewis is, and we never have
j time for anything!"
"I see." said her hostess, a little
quietly, tier great eyes taking In the
j somewhat expressionless face of tie-
! other. "Will you excuse me while 1
I put lunch on the table— unless you
j want to come into the kitchen with
i me?”
j She smiled as if giving ati invitation
! to come into the conservatory, and
Betty Simms followed and, sitting on
a wooden chair, watched Carrie's deft
movement from cupboard to refrigera
tor and to the stove.
‘AN hy.” sin- said Involuntarily, “you
net as if you like doing t It is. Carrie
I’eabody!"
Carrie paused on Iter \va.v to the
table. ”1 don't mind," she said. "It's
only a means to an end. lie wants
you to take him. Betty.”
Mrs. Simms looked into the face of
small Anthony clutching her gown
and, lifting him up, was surprised to
have him cuddle down contentedly as
one used to being held and made much
of.
Sub, the woolly dog. followed, and
many emotions chased themselves
through the head of Mrs. Simuis. To
her credit, not once did sl«r think of
the possible wrinkling and spoiling of
her gown. When before in her life
hud her arms been full of woolly dog
and little boy? it was a new sensation.
None of her friends seemed as inti
mately acquainted with their own , itil-
dren as Carrie was with iters. Never
before at luncheon had Mrs. Simuis so
much as seen a child. let alone touch-
»d one. Yet somehow Anthony did
not seem out of place here nor i:t the
way. lie seemed part of the house
hold and to take his place naturally.
It was a very simple luncheon,
though tt dainty one. anv* .i tasted
amazingly good to the veltor. who
was rather silent. Site was trying to
recent ii>> the cheerful fa-e of Carrie
real tod.v with the account Carrie was
giving <»f iter life.
"It 1-uw been laird on Tom." site was
saying. "The company lie was with
when we married failed, and that end
ed putting his invention through And
when lie did get another place typhoid
tool; him. you know, and it was
months—well, we got through some
how. I had a few hundreds of my
own saved for some emergency, an I I
concluded the emergency had arrived
And things have kept coming up—
Tom’s brother’s trouble and then this
small boy of ours, and with it all we’ve
•been, as I wrote you, Betty, poor—very
poor."
"But." said the woman, listening,
struggling to adjust the facts before
her—“but you seem so liappy. Carrie.”
There was a hint of envy in tier tone.
“NYby shouldn’t I be?" asked the
woman in the blue wash gown. An
tliony on her knee, "florae lime it
will bo better, when Tom gets n firm
hold on things. And I have him and
Anthony, and wo all care truly about
each other, and I eoau c -e we aren’t ri 1
enough tf' go outside 10 t'ud. distractl- u
nnd amusement we've learned t■> de
pend on each other, and we're very
contented d- lug !t. Betty. We're very
happy in (ho- lit'lo cheap fiat. Why.
I suppoy - we're just as liappy as you
and I.ev!s. with all your money nnd
what P 1 rings into vour lives."
Across the face of the listening worn
an there was a faraway expression
that was tinged with a little I it *'-r
ness. It was as if she were looking
into tier past and seeing many things.
"Carrie.” she spoke suddenly, tuivi
ousiy. "I'd give all it has brought me
ar.c! ever bids fair to bring me for
one minute of the perfect companion
ship poverty lias brought you and
Tom. And for Anthony—yes. and for
tlie woolly dog tlint loves you all."
“I’m sorry about the stairs." Carrie
told tier guest as she watched tier de
part a little later to t ire puffing auto
mobile below.
“Oh." said Betty. "1 never thought
of them! 1—I'm thinking about some
thing else. Stairs really don’t matter
much, after all."
And the curve off tire descent swal
lo—ed up the bird of paradise ns Mrs
Lewis Adelbert Simms wotit back
with a strong*- reluctance to the world
of elevators and unlimited credit.
A matron of the most determined
character was encountered by a young
woman reporter on a country paper,
who was sent out to interview leading
citizens as to their politics. ‘‘May I
see Mr. ?” she asked of a stern-
looking woman who opened the door a'
one house. ‘‘No. you can’t,” answered
the matron decisively. “But I want to
know what party he belongs to,”
p eaded the girl. The woman diew up
ner tall figure. ‘‘Well, take a goon
look at me,” she said, “I’m the party
he belongs to!”
Don’t Knock Your Home Town.
Home Trade Journal.
There are people in most every town
who take pleasure in going around
knocking the place. They are not all
strangers, either.
They stop you on the street and tell
you what a delightful time they had in
New York or Chicago; then they turn
away with some hopeless remark like
this;
"Yes, that was living, It was great.
Why, I just hated to come back to this
old hole in the mud. ”
It is of no use to remind them that
this is “home" to them. You know the
types of men and women that this ap
plies to. Fortunately for the town,
people of that calibre never amount to
enough to do the place any great
amount of harm. They would not be
contented anywhere, even if a new
Garden of Eden were planted for their
especial benefit.
These are the persons who send off
to Mail Order Houses for their goods.
They would not want their town mer
chants to know they were purchasing
such a lot of cheap, shoddy articles.
You can spot ’em every time.
Benton Raised the Issue.
Cleveland Leader.
When T, H. Benton was in the House
he was of the opinion that the third
day of March and, consequently, the
Congressional term—ended at midnight
of that day, instead of at noon on the
fourth, as unbroken usage had fixed it.
So, on the last morning he sat with his
hat on, talked loudly, loafed about the
floor, and finally refused to vote or ans
wer to his name when the roll was
called. At last the Speaker, the Hon.
Jas. L. Orr, of South Carolina,'picked
him up and put an end to these legisla
tive larks.
“No, sir; no, sir!” shouted the ven
erable Missourian. “I will not vote. I
have no right to vote. This is no
House, and I am not a member of it!”
“Then, sir,” said Speaker Orr, like
a flash, with his sweetest manner, “if
the gentleman is not a member of this
House the sergeant-at-arms will please
put him out. ”
And so this vast Constitutional ques
tion settled itself.
