H The Man With the Cigar. fl When David came home from his H ) office after another of "those days" H that try the soul with their emptiness H Cora met him with eyes dancing. In H her heart of hearts there was more H than a shade of anxiety. But at a H time when Cora had to supply heart Hj and cheer for two, anxiety was the H last feeling likely to find expression Hj in her manner. H "David, dear, I've found a profit- Hl able way of making ubc of my Idle Hl time during the day," she said with a H good attempt at gayety. "It occur- H red to me that I could do for the H Workmen's Co-Operative Homes com- H pany the same sort of work I helped H I to do in Colony Park helping design H I the woman's part of a home. So I ap- H plied to the president of the company H ' t and he has offered me a position with Hf I them at $35 a keek. Isn't it wonder- H Her animation died before the sll- H ence that followed and the quiver of H pain that passed over David's face. H She might have known, Cora said H wretchedly to herself, that David H would take the matter tragically. It H would have been too good to be true H if he had taken it in the light she Hj David was no more conservative H than the average husband. But he H did not need to be to take the propo- H sition of his wife's working for juon- H ey as an affront to his pride as a man H and a husband. Most men, and most H women, too. considered it a husband's II duty to so support his wife that she I would not have to work for money. I j If any married woman, therefore, I I worked at gainful occupation, the as- I I sumption was that the husband could I j not do the right thing for his wife. I Without David saying a single word I in remonstrance Cora knew every Yi ( syllable of what David would have j; said if he could find it In him to ij i speak in protest at such a time. But h the look of pain, of hazzard discour- I; agement, yes, and of profound humll- b iatlon, which etched his face with '. dark lines almost made Cora cry with sympathy for him. fe She realized now that she had put the proposition to him at the .most f; cruel time possible. At a time when t he was reproaching himself daily with !; having failed in his duty to Cora as an efficient provider for her to ! broach the project of her going to f work was to turn the knife in his I flesh. Cora knew she had right on' i her side in every sense. But with the' j ' pain her beloved man suffered this J j -was no time to insist on the justice l- of her position. Womanlike she went V down on her knees by him and took I his head to her bosom, ft "Just forget dismiss the whole rs matter, dear old fellow," she crooned, fii "Your old lady is going to stav home It and mind her pots and kittles and! cook her man's cabbage and beef for rt him when he comes home." ' I But try as she would, Cora could! I not dispel David's profound humiliai R ' tion. She saw that the damage had' n u j i i , , IC uccu uuue o ur very suggestion, Sue m felt almost guilty. She should have 1 ' foreseen that David would react that K way, she told herself. It argued J. thoughtlessness or even stupidity on her part, was her accusation against m herself. The truth was, however, that i it was her impulse of gladness at something helpful she could do which m had betrayed her. 1- David was in no enviable mood the I next day as he sat in his office alone. I He did not know what was keeping hIm frm surrendering and humbly taking the first stop-gap job that of- f f fered. So immersed was he in his M , bitter rumination that, not until a h bulky form stood before him, did he m realize he had a visitor. "David looked up at a large, red- Ij faced man clad in bright-colored rai- meut of the prosperous politician type, K a large black cigar protruding from H the corner of a tobacco stained I mouth, i "Mr- Temple, I'm Timothy Rourke, W of Rourke & Burke, contractors I II " guess you know us," the visitor men- i V tloned. 4uDaVld knew Rourke & Burke was U the name of the corporation under SJ the guise of which the political ring If ' n POfer at the city hall was mulct- B ig the city of millions of dollars H He nodded.

It'". , . ali frInSe is used as an edging for !h 235 an? tunics, usually in the Lml f , ; coIor aB the material for the frock. ; ': vL. T,Sme tiie new coats fr motor- Ing are made with several lines of shirring to mark the waist line. From present indications, two kinds of fur will be combined in many ot the coats next winter. So if you have an old fur coat In fair condition or a collar or muff, save It and see what your furrier can do in using the good parts of the old garments for trimming trim-ming a new fur coat. Silk jersey banded with fur is still in high favor. Wouldn't it be strange if at this late date, women should evolve a really interesting reformed dress? There has been talk of dress reform for women wo-men for years and years, but never have any results at all permanent or far-reaching been attained. Now the talk has come up again, and Portland, Port-land, Ore., Is planning a big meeting to discuss the matter of divided skirts ! or some similar skirt substitute for women. Certainly women would accept ac-cept some sort of trouser, bloomer or divided skirt with a better grace now than they could have accepted It 20 years ago, when Mrs. Bloomer came out of Kansas. Sports have made women wo-men less sensitive about skirts, and the custom of riding cross saddle has also had its influence. Many of the southern hunting clubs won't allow I women to use side saddles on their horses and that is only an instance of the change that has occurred in a comparatively short time. Probably women s innate love lor ciianging fashion would make her refuse to accept ac-cept a bifurcated substitute for the skirt, unless, indeed, It could be ruf-j ruf-j fled and tucked and shirred and puffed, puff-ed, made of chiffon, velvet tulle or lace trimmed with buttons and flowers flow-ers and spangles and then what would be the use of it at all. We ; like changing fashions, and we shall probably cling to a garment that encourages en-courages them. THE TABLE. Pressed Beef Loaf Grind two lbs. lean beef and 5 cents' worth of suet.
