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.

he has moments of deep depression,”
remarked Mr. Gadspur.
“Why should he?” growled Mr.
