Mary Kate had long ago left her perch on Cass's'knee. She, was stand- ing at the sink now, opening a bottle of ginger ale. "You'd wonder 'where they , get the silly plots they do," the older woman said dreamily. "This girl -her father was a Wall Street stockbroker, and he gave her a coming-out party.

"He ,lid not," said Mary Kate angry that• she must bring that little shade of anxiety and care to he mother's forehead. "Mart went to the library," Mrs O'Hara stated rather than asked. "But he said he'd be home early Ma." "Oh," said Mrs. O'Hara, "I neve worry about that one." The one she would worry about wa evidently heavy upon 'her heart. Mar Kate, having distributed three hal filled glasses, changed the tone of th conversation by sayirg animately, ye a little self-consciously. "Mother, did you see what I w doing when you came in?" Her mother's quick, suspicious ey grew glassy. "What were you dein', then?" "I was sitting on Cass Keating lap!" Mary Kate reminded her, wit a joyous flash of laughter. "Well, I wouldn't publish that i the paper," Mrs. O'Hara said darkl and disapprovingly. "But, Mother, darling, doesn't th mean anything to you?" Another scornful and suspicio look. Cass began to look acutely comfortable, and Mary Kate, flushin reflected resentful!; that Ma alwa acted in this stiff, offended way wh anything was sprung ,on her. "In These days," the older wom began with dignity, after a sho pause, "you'd not know thatanythi meant anything the way they go on This obscure statement stung Ca Keating into sudden protest.

"I hope you don't mind my -m wanting to marry Mary Kate?" said awkwardly a d r r s half up the back stairway, "Ma, can we make` candy? Ma, can I go over to Grace's?" Sweet and pure and young and un- touched, ah, it was all very well to talk of intrigue sand nonsense.

Was she really, one of these days, to take the head of this man's table, in her in_xperienced eyes and anxious, -trusting, loving look of the womanwho has 'placed her whole hap- piness in one man's hands? Was she competent to choose, in her ,giddy,, happy,, adored girlhood, the man whose purse and home .and life -nay, whose very room she must share for all the rest of her days? A pang of jealous anguish smote the mother, as she thought of Mary Kate, young and fragrant and be- wildered in this darkboy's eager arms and she sat. rigid and unfriendly and affroited, refusing to share his easy excitement and triumph. "Well, Mother, aren't you going to say anything?" demanded Mary Kate, as .proud as she. "There's a great deal more to it than that," Mr,. O'Hara volunteered primly, after a silence in which she had -,merely said, "H'm!" "More to what than what Mother?" the girl' demanded impatiently. The older womansighed, her look opaque and unsympathetic. "Marriage," she observed oracular- ly, "isn't any joke. There's trials and cares come with marriage that you'd little think. "Kissin' and goin' to dances and runnin' around to beauty parlors; that's not matrimony!" she added darkly. Mary Kate was now furious. She spoke with icy calm.

With a challenging, defiant glance for her mother, Mary Kate went to Cass and put her hands on his shoul- ders, and raised her face to his. "Kiss nie good night, dear," she said, gently, in the tone of a woman who makes a deliberate choice of loyal- ties. Instantly, hungrily, he seized her; there was passionate gratitude in his boyish, distressed. kiss.

No more he grieved• for pleasures missed, Nor grudged the toilsome task, For he had gained from life's long list Of joys, the one he'd ask. His daughters now are women tree, His sons are worthy men; And all the care he struggled through Is paid for ten times ten.

This self -lighting cigarette is tipped with a special preparation. When you want to light up, you take a cigarette out of the fire -proof packet in which they are contained and rub it gently along the side of the packet. It lights at once. Will smokers cease to buy matches when these cigarettes ai'e available everywhere? They would be quite useful when you wanted to light up in a wind -but so is a lighter.
