Jane’s Pink J J Gingham Dress | I By BARBARA KERR |j <(y. 1821* by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) I “Mother! Where Is my pink ging ham lireas?" demumled .lane Bryant, tumultuously entering her mother’s •room. i “Why, er—what dress?" parried her mother helplessly us she snipped off a thread. "Then It’s - true!" walled Jane dramatically, mopping an angry tear from her cheek. “You sent it down ito the rummage sale and that horrid Clem Trimeter bought it. Jlrs. Sands said he did.” | “Well, what If hp had, .Taney? He wonted to buy something, 1 reckon, to help out the clubhouse fund. VVltat difference does it make? You said the other day you never Intended to wear It again. I’d ransacked the house to find something, and I thought I might as well send that ns anything,” s.'iid her mother soothingly. Jane and Clem Traceter had quar reled over politics. Jane declared that she Intended to always vote and make most of her new independence and would not surrender It to any man just for the sake of being his household drudge. Clem at first thought her merely fooling, but when he found her se rious and challenging him to an argu ment and an expression of ids Ideas, he said: “Well, I guess lam a bit • old-fashioned, Jane, for I should not want nor would tolerate my wife’s going Into polities In the strenuous way some of these flighty sisters are doing. I don’t think I should ask her to he simply a drudge, though I must confess, Jane, that you were never so charming to me as when ! caught you In that pink glnglmm dress wash ing down the front stairs." I “Oh, I dare say!" retorted Jane an grily, “the utilitarian did appeal to the man who proposes to regulate his | Turning Abruptly She Left Him. |\vife’s comings and goings, didn’t it?" |Then turning abruptly she lift him standing In the long shady lane lead ing to the village. i Traceter was angry. ills first thought was, "If Hint’s the way she feels about married women I’ai glad I found It out In time.” Hut better Judgment prevailed, lie knew that with her rearing, her practical ten dencies, her really domestic nature that she only half way believed what she said. ; They were both determined not to give in, yet each was secretly wishing something would turn up to furnish excuse for their seeing each other or pave the way to a reconciliation when the rummage sale was put on. It engrossed the minds of both women and men, for the men had to wear all their belongings or keep them under lock and key or be compelled to go to the rummage and retrieve them. Clem was walking past the store room where the sale was held ant! looked in the window, when he caught sight of Jane’s pink gingham with Its perky little bow in the back, hanging on n hook. “So, she got rid of it because I ad mired it,’> he thought bitterly. Idly he sauntered into the store. Mrs. Sands, the energetic and gracious saleslady, met him. "So glad to see you. Mr. Traceter. Of course you are going to buy a brick for the new ; clubhouse?” ! “A gold brick?" laughed Clem, j “Hardly,” denied Sirs. Sands. “You know we don’t deal in anything of that sort.” Then she noticed his eyes lingering on the pink gingham. §mil ,lng. she turned It around on the hang er—“her mother just brought it.” En gagingly—" Now. I suppose, you would not be Interested In the dress as It Is?” and her laughing, teasing eyes dared him. ! “Why, yes, Mrs. Sands, I think I would. Come to think of it that Is my color exactly,” and he took off his hat and ran his fingers through ,a mop of hair that had been lubeled— or libeled— pink at one time or an other. She hastened to make It a bargain. “It will be only ten dollars, Mr, Trace ter, and 1 am sure It, will give you splendid service.” “I couldn’t think of taking advan tage of your generosity, Sirs. Sands. I must insist on paying something like the worth of the garment,” declared Clem gallantly as he handed her twen j ty-flve dollars and received his pack age. Mrs. Sands was jubilant and so pleased with Mr. Traeeter’s manner of carrying off the joke that she hailed Jane as she was driving by next day to tell her how much her pink ging ham brought, and hadn’t she some more old duds? Of course Jane bad to pretend In terest and agree that Mr. Traceter was too nice for anything to help out In that way. * “Fudge I” rallied Mrs. Sands. “You know It was your dress he wanted, lie’s not going around buying women’s second-hand clothes -fiJr an invest ment.” Jane laughed, blushed and hurried on. She wMild have an accounting from that mother of hers. But her Jnce sobered. She was remembering something. Tn a little - pocket Inside the belt of that pink gingham tvas a little old locket. That day when scrub bing the stairs she broke the chain, then slipped the locket In the belt for 'safekeeping. Excitedly she called, asking her mother if she had taken anything from the dress pocket. “Why, no, dear. I didn’t know the dross had a pocket. What was It? rib-call Mrs. Sands. No, I’ll cull Mrs. Tra ceter.” “No, no, never mind. Don’t call any one. It was nothing much, just that little old locket I’ve worn so long. Dot It go. I promised Mrs. Sands I'd help out some, so I’m going now for an hour or so.” When Mrs. Sands again rallied her on the splendid sale of a dress, June said soberly, “Do you suppose lie ever unwrapped that package?” “Of course, lie did,” argued roman tic Mrs. Sands. “I’ll bet be hung It right where he can see It whenever lie goes In Ids room. Hut why?” “I’ll’ tell you, Mrs. Sands, there was a locket In the pocket and mother didn’t know it —I’d like awfully to get it hack.” ■Mercy me!” breathed Mrs. Sands. "Why don’t you go right over? I’ll go with you and we’ll ask Mrs. Trace ter —” "No, no, not for the world—Clem— we- hud a quarrel—” “Well, there’s no harm In my asking for It,” declared Mrs. Sands, "for I didn’t sell that, just the dress.” But when she went In she found Clem at home mid he banteringly re minded her that lie had bought the dress “us is,” but tlmt lie would get It and she could look It over. "Oh, dear,” sin - murmured. "No doubt It dropped out. Jane will fie so sorry for slie seems to set n lot of store liy the locket or the picture that was in it.” Clem was sympathetic hut noncom mittal. He did not say that when lie was smoothing the dress out In Ids closet Ids hand struck the hidden pocket and that the locket was now safe In his pocket. Tlmt story was for oilier ears, and as it was his day to call at Bryants’, he would not tell It until evening. Jane herself let him In. She was ns matter-of-fact as if he had called regularly every Tuesday right along. After the weather had been respect fully catalogued and laid by, Clem slowly drew forth tlie locket. “Oh, It didn’t get lost after all," smiled Jane, then she blushed as she thought of the picture. “I have wondered a good manv times wlmt was in that locket," he said softly. “You didn’t dare —” began Jane, her eyes flashing. Hut Clem dropped on one knee be side her chair, caught her bund and, opening the locket, laid It In her palm. "Of course, I opened it, and X ap proved the contents, lie’s not much for looks. Jane, darling, hut he Is all yours, politics or no politics, If you’ll only have him.” lie knew she’d been wearing his picture! And there was no place to hide her shamed face except on bis shoulder! Eater Jane would have abjured poli tics forever, but Clem said firmly: “I’ve been doing some thinking. Some of those flighty sisters are not to blame for looking outside for Inter ests. The Lord knows they need di version. Hut I’m going to try to make our little house and your husband so dear to you that we will keep our hearts at home. Of course, we will take enough Interest In polities to be desirable and patriotic citizens—won’t we, dear?” And Jane, her cheeks the color of the pink gingham, agreed. Resistance Not Matter of Strength. A sturdy frame and big muscles do not necessarily presuppose great (low ers of resistance to infection. These are an individual matter, depending on the ability of the cells to react, and our knowledge of these matters is still vague according to -the observations of a medical expert who recently read a paper on the subject at a convention of bis fellow practitioners. Cruel Criticism. “A motion picture comedian says he has moments of deep depression,” remarked Mr. Gadspur. “Why should he?” growled Mr. Wopplt “Why, Indeed r “He never has to sit through one of his pictures.”—Birmingham Age- Herald.
