Grocers Vs. Filling Stations.

Grocers a. Bath say that the sea-
son has arrived when Saturday
nights are not as profitable as they
are during the season of colder wea-

who purchase liberally of meats and
other foods on Saturday nights for

jealous over the attention they at-
tracted. Of course. the situation was
impossible to the yOung wife. “How
can I help it if men look at my
legs?" she demurely observed.
However. it does seem as if some
little restraint might be exercised in
the matter of skirts. So many neth-
er limbs are not designed for the
measure of display that strict adher-
ence to fashion demands—so very
many of them. The subjects is deli-
cate. One does not like to dwell on
comparison .as who would say piano
shaped. spindle and bottle shaped. It
is all very crude. the display that
greets one whermer one may go.
The extremists of style quote Dr.
Percy Hall, a famous British physi-
cian. who has declared and pro-
nounced the short skirt as in fact a
rejuvenator. He says that woman
"by wcring short skirts and clothing
low in neck allows more light and
air to get to her body and as a con-
sequence siie has achieved youth in
body and health." Nevertheless. it
does seem as if there must me some
medium between the crude and the
prude. But who is going to find it

Lilah recovered quickly. and en-
deavored to conceal the irritation
aroused by Michael's mention of”
Claudio Homer—That Girl. The
beauteous one had been quite out
of her mind; she had not thought of
her since before the trip to New
York.

of attempting to explain and de-

ever really asked me to obtain a
position for her. l—-—."
Liiah raised her head and quieted
him, a habit of hers when she was
endeavor-ing to campuilage her real
feelings. “You need not explain
dear. I know."
“I know"——the words were dis-
quieting to Michael. What the. devil
did she mean? Tardily. he intro-
duced a new topic. “Have you de—
cided about the music for the din-
her?"
"I was thinking about it today.
We'll have to decide right away.
I'm inclined to think it would be
best to have Miss Giovanni's trio——
harp. violin and cello. you know.
They've never played for a dinner.
and having them wear, costumes
and present a program that is a
little unusual. will be a sort of in-
novation."
“You‘ll get in bad with the old
hostess if you try to capture any
of their standing by doing any-
thing radically new. They prefer
the old way. and they're rather
catty about such things."
Lilah shrugged, but it was a min-
ute before she replied: "I'm Just a
little uneasy about it. I didn't quite
like the atmosphere that pervaded
the tea. it was sort of cold and
ominous."
“0h, there's no need to worry."
Michael smiled. without thinking
about it.

if she was breaking in on a iryst.

"The telephone. Mrs. Michael."

"Why not have the person call
later," he suggested. “Who is it.
Sally?"
”I don't know—it's a woman."
“I think I‘d better go." Liiah hur-
ried out.
Michael's mind turned back to
Claudio Horner when he was alone.
He was annoyed by remembrance
of Lilah'r apparent irritation over
the mention of the girl's name.
Marriage
(By MICHAEL)
"it was Bertha." Liiah announced
when she returned. "Her cousin.
Peter Preston. the actor. you know.
is here with his wife. They're mo-
toring from .\‘ew York to Holly-
wood. where he‘s going into pic-
turcs. He's just going to be here
the one night .and Bertha. is invit-
ing in some people to meet them.
She. wants us to come."
Michael frowned. He didn't like
Morris Preston. alias Peter Preston.
They had gone to school together.
and Preston's egotistic self-satisfac.
tion and forwardness had antagon-
ized a bitter aversion for him in
Michael. It was tiiis‘egotistic self-
estisfactlon of Preston's that had
made a good actor of him. '
"Aw. let's don't go. I’m tired.
Let‘s have a game of casino in by
the fire. Besides I don't want to
see that big stiff. He‘s a perfect
ass." ..
“Why. litichael, Pete is a per-
frctiy nice chap. And from what i
hear. his success on the stage
hasn‘t gone to his head."
“There's plenty of room for any-
thing ihat. does go to his hea ."
Lllnh's lips compressed. as they
always did when she became angry.
“Well. I'm going. You don't
have to go." She arose from the
table again. leaving her demi-tassc
untouched.
"I d .'t think you'd better go
alone.” e responded. with firm-
ness.
She wheeled around and glared
at him. "Do you mean that you
forbid me to go?" ‘ s
He wavered. ”Well. no. You
know—. Aw--—." She contin-
ued into the hall and up the stairs.
Xo word was spoken !between
them when she came down again.
She leisurely adjusted her draper-
ies before the mirror in the hall.
Michael stood before the fire in the
library and looked at her. unwilling
to believe that she would go off
alone. He was moved to change
his mind. but an obstinate belief
that something was at stake in this
issue. stayed him. When she had
completed the inspection of herself
in the mirror. she set down in the
hell. to his wonderment.
Then a taxicab driver rang the
bell. She answered the door. and
passed out into the night. before
Michael fully realized that rule was
going after all. it was something
of a shock. She who had promised
to "love. honor and obey." had de-
liberately disobeyed him for the
first time. He preferred to think
or it as disobedience.

CHURCH murmur CAMPAIGN
A- "Church Beautiful" campaign
has been initiated for the summer
months by the National Plant.
Flower and Fruit Guild through
which it is hoped to transform the
sober green lawns of country and
suburba'n churches into vistas of
beautiful color. .
As a. first step. the Guild consult»
ed with the Library of Landscape
Architecture of Harvard University,
the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Cor-
nell University. the Mass. Agricul-
tural College and the Boards of
various religious denominations and
finally selected the All Souls Unl-
tarfan Church in Plainileld. N. J..
as most suitable for a demonstra-
tion in church landscape gardening
under the direction of Mr. Clarence
Fowler. Secretary of the N. Y. so.
ciety of Landscape Architects, who
volunteered his services for this
purpose. 'The members of the con-
gregation will be responsible for
the carrying out of the plan under
the supervision of Mr. Fowler.
Any church. however may start a
Church Garden Club of its own by
mounts. -
First of all. states the Guild. it
is necessary'to prepare a detailed
diagram in scale which will‘show
the church buildings. walks. the
position of trees and shrubs, the
space available fer planting. the
location of the church in relation to
streets and the kind of property it
adjoins. designating the color and
style of architect of the church
as well as the material from which
it is built. If this information to-
gether with a list of native plants.
shrubs and small trees which will
bear transplanting. is sent to the
National Headquarters of the Plant.‘
Flower and Fruit Guild, 70 Fifth
Avenue. New York City. the Na-
tional organisation will supply with-
out chsrge a plan for laying out the
church grounds and a program for
the meetings of the local Church
Garden Club to be formed.
Such a Club will be composed of
the members of the church. electing
its own officers and paying as a
body a yearly membership fee of 81
for aniliatlon with ‘the National
Guild. Its task will be to inspect
following the methods prescribed by. the soil and if neeenary to provide increase
