Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH THE PERFECT WOMAN What are the characteristics of the perfect 'woman? A Danish magazine has been asking its readers, and from responses to the amusing inquiry it is gathered that the perfect woman Is she who reads the paper without putting the pages in the wrong order ; who does not always try to have the last word in an argument; who speaks well of her friends in their absence; who pays no attention to the neighbors gossip ; who never goes to the bargain sales; who always gives her exact age ; who nev- er wishes she were a man. She was very happy when she pnt the hat on her bright head.

Probably Andrew wouldnt feel he could go. But she must go. With somebody. With Mr. Fink, Mrs. Fink was sure to be asked. She and Irene had belonged to the same bridge club. . It seemed to Ruth that she was really getting into the swim at last. Five mouths before she and Andrew were strangers to everybody here. Then she had chanced upon Mrs. Fink. Andrew and Mr. Fink worked at the same place. Andrew said Tom Fink was a good fellow. Just at first Ruth thought she didnt like Inez Fink, but after a while she and got used to the sharp-eyewoman. From this acquaintance had come Irene Howells invitation. v It means a lot to us in a way, she told Andrew at dinner. A man is known by the company his wife keeps. The Howells are way up. So you see, Mrs. Fink says "Never mind Mrs. Fink. What 1 want to know is how much this wedding is going to set me back, Andrew said bruskly. For a present, I mean. No present. Were only invited to . the church. RUTH Howell-Twinln- . sharp-tongue- d d ITS A HOW THEY FAVORITE CRAVE FOR IT I knew' thered be a something . Andrew pretended to groan. Remember my insurance premium comes due the first of the month. Ive got to meet it if it takes a leg. Every cent will count till that is seen to." Ruth saw no prospect of getting a new hat ' Mrs. Fink ran In. to the wasnt Tom wedding going No, either. You and I can trot along togeth er, she said. "Ive Just finished my new white silk with orange and black. Its swell Now show me what you are going to wear. Ruth brought out her blue crepe Mrs. Fink inspected it with a careless glance. Itll do If you get a smart hat to wear with it Folks always look at your hat first If youve got a snappy chapeau you can get away with any old rag for a dress." Ruth flushed hotly. The blue dress didnt look the same to her after Mrs. Fink got through with It Ruth tried it on three times. Each time she felt more keenly the need of that new hat She tried to change the trimming on her best hat but it bad faded underneath. Mrs. Fink made her go over and see with black the white silk and orange. It was charming. But the hat Mrs. Fink had got to go with the dress took Ruths breath away. It was the hat of her dreams. She bit her Up, trying to keep down a pang of envy as Mrs. Fink carelessly twirled the hat on her hand. She let Ruth try oh the hat. And the way Ruth looked in it! It made her blue eyes bluer, her cheeks pinker, her hair brighter. That night she dreamed about the black hat. Next morning Ruth was all excitement She hurried with the dish washing. She put. the, tiny home to rights wtth deft swift motions. The wedding was at noon. At then minutes to eleven when she was Ell dressed ready to go the telephone bell rang. Mrs. Fink had called up to say hoarsely that her throat was getting worse every minute she couldnt go. Im so sorry I Its too bad I That lovely dress! That elegant hat!

Ruth had always made It a rule not to borrow or lend unless there was real necessity for doing so. Andrew was dead set against the practice him self. They had started out in their married life to be Independent square and conservative. Up to this moment they had both fulfilled the conditions of their little informal contract But now Ruth yielded to the lure of the hat She saw no harm In wearing It, es peclally as her friend had so kindly offered to loan It short SWEET AS HONEY ITS THE MONEY cross-stitchin- OnCE you taste Grape-Nut- s Flakes, youll cheer tool These crisp, golden flakes have a delicious flavor and theyre nourishing.

When she entered In at the portal of the stately church she had au air of having Just stepped from one of the stately automobiles that were constantly gliding up to the curb. In fact, she seemed to belong to that particular automobile which had a silver ornament on Its radiator cap, rather than the stout old lady who had to be assisted down the step. . It was a wonderful wedding, all that a wedding should be lovely flowers, music, perfume,, pretty clothes, exquisite bride and ' six bridesmaids looking like a bouquet of spring blossoms. Ruth herself had been married in the front parlor of her parents small .house far away and her mother had made the wedding cake. But she knew nevertheless what it was to take the vows of wifehood. Her heart beat fast and tears dimmed her blue eyes as she listened. She wished Andrew was with her. And she forgot her. borrowed hat. The sunshine was gone by the time she left the church. She hadnt gone two blocks before the first raindrop spattered down. Automobiles dashed past But Ruth had no money for taxi hire even if there had been a taxi In I see. Well, I cant make It, possibly. Fink Isnt going either. I suppose you and she can trail off together. Got enough to wear? Ruth smiled. "Except a Sure. hat BUSINESS GIRLS PATTERN . 23A sight Faster and faster fell the raindrops.

Ing a too large hat under a fluttering rag which had been a chiffon flounce. White, wet to the skin, breathless between haste and anxiety, Ruth at last came to Mrs. Finks. Mrs. Fink was lying down. But she sat up quickly enough as Ruth burst in. Good gracious. Aint raining?" exclaimed Mrs. Fink. Then she began to laugh. I got that hat on trial, I knew one of the salesshe said. I told them I girls at Hawtreys. wanted to keep it. until my husband could see It. Tom : couldn't tell 'a' French hat from one Id made myself.; I was going to wear it to the wedding and take it back.
