Excuse me, Tom, f i saj Ing gosh, but honestly Id rt Iter stiub doors than to go to that druee. Tom Gleason looked sympathetically fi mi ids ' post before the chiffonier, u'u-rhe xvas struggling with the stutls of his eVenlng shirt. I suppose wete Oh got to go." -- 1 - suppose so," said the young wife, now carefully brushing the collar of Tom's evening coat as It lay on the bed. Housework and the twins re nothing to compare with what I have to uudergo for that younger set. I promised to chaperone them. Crace Hayes will meet us at the clubhouse and will be back for the night. Your brother, I suppose, will be there and liell want another spare room. I thought once we'd puli off a match with him " echoed Tom sneerlngly. Them, Theyre just like the rest of the set. Crazy for excitement theyll never settle down and have ical happiness the way we did. Young people are different nowadays." Tom was all of five years older than his brother James, and Mrs. Gleason was two years older than Grace Hayes, yet these two felt the advantage of many, many years. So the Gleasons, clad In their best, went to the dance at the Country club, leaving the slumbering twins In the custodianship of the maid of pll work, who also slumbered in her room ou the third floor. ' An hour later Jim Gleason tried the fiont door of the Gleason suburban home found It locked and made an mice iionious entrance through a parilj open front window. He took of) his hat and coat and then his shops, rummaged for and found a pair of slippers and a smoking jacket of his hi oilier's in a downstairs hall closet. A fei aging expedition In the kitchen resulted In some crullers of his sisterly laws baking and some apples. These he laid on the table beside the easy chair In front of the fireplace. He filled his pipe with his brothers tobacco, poked the embers, threw on a fresh log and sat down to enjoy all tl e comforts of a home that was not younger Ids own. Hi is comfort he enjoyed alone for au hour. At 10:80 he heard a knock at the fiont door and opened It to see Grace Hayes, In day clothes with an , overnight bag In her hand. -I thought youd be at the dance," she said with some hauteur and some . apology. No," drawied James, assisting Oiace off with her wraps and seating her in a second easy chair beside the I cant stand the pace. I said fire. I might come, but it was only for an excuse to spend the night here. How these married people want to gad about as they do I cant see. With a home like this have a cruller and an apple, he interrupted, pointing to the Gee, if 1 had outlay on the table. a little house like this and a wife, believe me I'd stay at home! But then were different. Since the war fellows have known how to appreciate a home. But that older married set all they think of Is excitement tod-- . dling and Jazz and all that sort of thing. Grace looked wistfully Into the fire. "I know, she said. Girls are different now. They are more serious. There was a long and rather painful pause. Then James Gleason bent toward Grace, who was sitting up Grace, wont straight In her chair. you marry me? "No, Grace said, still very wistful, - and she nodded her head slowly and 1 think I would looked Into the fire. marry you If I married any one, JimIt my, but Im afraid of marriage. seems to change people so. Im afraid that once I was- married Id be like . And you might your change about and be as mad about dancing and excitement as Tom. Id rather go on dreaming about a home than to have a home of my own and not appreciate It. It was James turn to look wistfully in (he fire and shake his head sndly. He had been pleasantly surprised to hear Grace say that she would marry him if she married any one. That was something of a comfort. I get your point of view, Grace," he said. It would be frightful to find yourself In a home like this, for Instance. and not appreciate it, or to be married to the girl you loved and find her unwilling to stay home for a quiet evening. Id be sorry for Tom, only I Antlilnk he is as far gone as Mabel. other pause ensued. Couldnt we get engaged and see how that affected us?" That would be a trial engagement. No, Grace looked a little shocked. Jimmy, I never Intend to be engaged except to the man I marry. When I do get engaged I want to be married You know, I take very, very soon. those tilings so seriously; I think all the girls in our set do. They are so different from the older girls like Mabel. The matter seemed settled. For a few minutes they sat and exchanged a few remarks about the weather and plays they had or hadnt seen. Then one or two of the twins wailed out from the floor above, and Grace, wKli Tom in her wake, fled to the nursery. They were busy executing requests fr.r drinks of wafer when Tom and Ma'-e- l below. let themselves In the front - sister-in-law- The twins again tucked quietly In their adjoining cribs, Jim and Grace groped their way In the dark upstairs hall toward the stairs. Jim held Grace's arm very close to his side so that she would not stumble. They heard the voices of Tom and Mabel below, and they hesitated to listen. Well, were back again to home, sweet home," said Tom. He was sitting In the chair just vacated by James and Mabel was in Graces chair. James and Grace went noiselessly down to the landing, where they could see them. Then Tom leaned toward Mabel and took her hand In his. "There's nothing like it. Is there, little wife? he said. fjMore than ever I can't understand the point of view of the younger set. Theres my brother, Jim, could marry any day he wanted to. Earns more than I do. And theres Grace," continued Mabel. Shes Independent herself. She wouldn't have to wait for a man to make enough to support her." . I guess they are different They dont know the meauing of home. Here we went over to that dance on purpose to get them together and they didnt even come. I suppose something more exciting kept them both. That dance at the club wasnt so dull, but honestly, Mabel, I was miserable every time I danced with any one but you, and when I was dancing with you I was aching to be here before our own little fireplace with you at my side." There would have been more of this sort of thing between the Gleasons If, in spite of Jims protecting arm, Grace had not missed a step on the stairway where Jim and she were standing. She gave a very little scream and clung to Jim as If the Gleasons front stairs were as the slippery side of an Alpine chasm. The - Gleasons, fearful lest harm had come to the twins above, hurried to the hall and snapped on the electric light that showed Grace being upheld with rather unnecessary tenacity by Jim. We didnt mean to overhear you, said Grace. But we did hear every word you said." Mabel Gleasons face registered hauteur. She didnt know how It happened that these young people should be in her house clinging to each other on the landing of her stairway. At the moment she couldnt recall what she had said, but she remembered it was personal. She chose to cover her embarrassment by appearing offended. It Is too bad you slipped, Grace, she said, looking as Icily at her as she could, because If It hadnt been for your little scream Tom and I should probably have said a good deal more that would liave Interested you. Jim We heard all we needed, We heard enough to know laughed. that you and Tom are home folks, after all. Somehow I think that what we heard Is going to make a big difference In all our lives." He hadnt altogether released Grace, In spite of her little jerks to be free, and now he held two strong arms on her shoulders and looked Into her eyes. It will make a difference, wont it?" he asked her, as if no one had been by and quite regardless of Mabels gasps of surprise. Perhaps they whispered something, or perhaps they said it aloud, or perhaps they understood each other just by an exchange of glances. No one of the quartet just remembered how It happened later. But there on the landing Grace told Mabel and Jim told his brother Tom, and there were general congratulations and a few tears and Tom and Jim shook hands and Mabel kissed Grace and then kissed" her husband and kissed Jim, and it was not until later that they remembered that ten minutes earlier Grace had quite definitely told Jim that she had no intention of marrying any one.

It was revenlCd that the federal grand Jury In Boston will Inquire Into-th- e transfer of the former German properties from the alien property custodian to Howard D. Griffith, acting agent for Martin E. Kern. Incidentally, there has been repetition of charges made against former Attorney General Palmer when he appeared before the senate Judiciary committee In 1919, In connection with hearings on his confirmation. At that time efforts were made to block his confirmation because of the position which he held when the properties were sold. It was alleged then that the Bosch stock was worth approximately $7,000,000. Chaplains of the U. S. War Department HT' HE first annual report from the office of chief of chaplains of the War department, Washington, D. C., written by John T. Axtoni colonel. United States army, chief of chaplains, covering the fiscal year 1921, has been made public. This report shows a corps of 185 chaplains, Including one colonel, nine' lieutenant colonels, eight majors, 42 captains and 125 first lieutenants. These chaplains are classified as follows: Baptist, 26; Baptist, colored, 2; Congregational, 9; Disciples of Christ, 10; Lutheran, 12; Methodist Episcopal, 41; Methodist 2; Methodist Episcopal, colored, Protestant, 1; Presbyterian, 15; Protestant Episcopal, 17 ; Cumberland Presbyterian, 1; Deformed, 2; Roman Catholic, 42 ; Unlversallst, 2 ; Unitarian, 2; United Evangelical, 1. Ninety-eigof these chaplains were appointed during the war. They were selected from among 600 applicants who had seen service during the World war and who had Indicated a desire to enter the regular army. These men had the unqualified commendation of their military commanders and were highly indorsed by their respective denominations. They were chosen because they were found to possess that fidelity, poise, of mind, serenbreadth and tolerance of ity of spirit, large outlooaT' patience ht and good temper, energy and enthusiasm, and that overmastering lov of service for men which are essential to success. Ihe report tells of the work that has been undertaken by army chaplains, who In many cases with very few facilities have built up worthwhile centers of religious and moral Inspiration. There have been exigencies of the service that have necessitated the detail of chaplains to various duties Colonel that are extraprofessional, Axton states. ."They have served in the cemeterial section of the quarter master department, as post exchange officers, directors of education and recreation, as morale officers, managers of Liberty theaters and of boxing exhibitions, school teachers and as counsel for the defense."

ASPARAGUS HOST HAVE RICH SOIL ,( i Different Treatments Required Where Blossoms Are to Be Produced for Different Purpoees Heavy Manuring Essential. Advice as to the varieties of roses best suited to a particular region is best obtained from the nearest grower or nurseryman. A different type of rose Is needed for each of the various purposes for which roses are used. Those which . are . suitable . for , lawns or borders will 'not give satisfactory cut flowers;' special kinds are best for arbors or trellises and other ornamental purposes. In the opinion of the United States Department of Agriculture, roses are not very satisfactory for hedges, as most types are Delicacy Will Grow in Drained Ground if Plant Food Is Properly Applied. ROOTS BETTER THAN SEED Spring Is Good Timo to Transplant Shoot May Bo Blanched by Ridg- ing Up Over Rowe With ' Loom Sandy Soil. Asparagus should have a place in every home vegetable garden where it will thrive. This crop can be grown on almost any soil, but will do best on a deep, mellow sandy loam, says the United States Departwell-drain- ment ot Agriculture. There is little possibility of having the land too rich, aqd liberal applications of partly rotted barnyard manure should be made before the plants are set. The seeds of asparagus may be sown during the early spring in the rows where the plants are to remain and the seedlings thinned to stand 14 Inches apart tn the row at the end of the first season, It Is usually most satisfactory to purchase roots from some seedsman or dealer. The roots should be transplanted during the late autumn or early spring. Before setting out the plants, the land should be loosened very dvcply, either by subsoil plowing or deep tpad-inIt is a good plan to remove the topsoil and spade manure into thg subsoil to a depth of 14 or 16 Inches ; then replace the topsoil and add more manure. There are two methods of setting an asparagus bed, depending entirely upon the kind of cultivation to be employed In the garden. If the garden space is limited, tbe plants should be set Id a solid bel, one foot apart each way. In setting asparagus the crowns should be coiened to n depth of four or five inches. The part of the asparagus used as a vegetable Is the young shoot that le thrown up during the early spring. The shoots are removed wjien about four or five Inches In length by cuttings slightly below the surface of the ground, but care should be taken that the knife is not thrust at an angle or the crowns will be Injured. If so desired, the shoots may be blanched by ridging up over the rows with loose sandy soil or by allowing the mulch to remain and the shoots to make their way through It; but unblanched as-two-year-o- ld g. The Hybrid Tea Rose. neither sufficiently compact nor sufficiently branched to make a really good hedge. Native species, and those least modimans crossing and selection are most suitable for lawn and border planting. , Border roses should have little pruning, the removal of the dead wood and the cutting of the whole bush to the ground every five to eight years being the best way of handling most varieties. Climbing roses used for armors and trellises may be managed either to give an abundance of bloom or to produce shade, but they cannot do both satisfactorily, and they are not well adapted to the production of shade as many other plants. Climbing roses should be pruned just after blooming by having the wood of the previous years growth removed. roses need clean culture, severe pruning and special care ; therefore they should be planted by themselves In secluded beds and should not be used to beautify the grounds In place of the roses appropriate for lawns and borders. roses should be cut each spring to within six Inches or one foot of the ground for finest blooms, or d to one-hathe wood should be left If the object Is a large quantity of blooms. The essentials for satisfactory g are a retentive soil, thoroughly enriched, preferably with rotted manure. roses particularly need heavy annual manuring. Special care must be exercised to prevent the roots from drying when out of the ground for transplanting. Dormant roses should have lrom one-hato the wood removed at the time of transplanting. Watchfulness Is the price of success with roses. , - . . . fied by Cut-flow- Cut-flow- one-thir- lf rose-grqwin- well-draine- d Cut-flow- lf MAKE GARDEN PERMANENT With Little Attention Hardy Plante Will Produce Crops That May Be Depended Upon, much-prize- c-- r a A bed of asparagus Is known to have given continuous service for more than 30 years, and asparagus Is one of the first of the spring vegetables.
