Beth had e very vague idea ahout what to do with artichokes, but there were cookbooks and certainly they were {a very choice article of food. "I Want to Talk With You" Back home she arranged her mother's chair near the kitchen radiator. The heat had been tnrn- ed on that day and Beth drew a sigh of relief because their gas bills would not be so high for the rest of the winter. . Then she dragged a rocker near and opened her own book. Tt seemed quite peaceful and happy to be sitting here like this, raising her band from time to time to touch the lucky bangle as she turned the pages of her book.

This suited George's plans ex- cellently and he sprang to assist Beth's mother from her chair. It seemed to him she leaned less heavily on his arm than formerly and he wondered if perhaps some day ste might not he entirely well azain. Beth 'hovered around un- til her mother was tucked away, then she came back to the kitchen with George and resumed her chair, George looked ' at her so long that she began to feel uncomfort- able.

"lI can't help myself, can I?" said Beth resentfully. "Don't take that tone, Beth. I'm serious and I'd like you to be serious too. : Beth. I've been think- ing of things and I've decided. that we're foolish to wait anv longer. Will you marry me soon, Beth?" "Marry you?" "Don't act as though it were a new idea to you, Beth.

I kept waiting until we could see how your mother was going to get along, but I guess there won't he much change in her condition, Ket- ter today, worse tomorrow. And T don't think we ought to waste all these years." In Love With Love "I have never thought seriously of marrying you at any time, George," Beth said. "I've appre- ciated what you've done for moth- er and the places you've taken me, and sometimes I've liked you quite well. But I've never had any idea at all of marrying you." "That isn't so, Beth," he insist- ed. "Don't you remember the time when I first knew you. when we talked about getting married and what kind of house we'd like to have?" Beth searched her memory. Yes, one time, when she first knew him, they had gone for a walk one Sunday afternoon, an afternoon in spring when the air andi the sun- shine and the happy people about them had induced a love-making mood. She winced at the redollec- tion. It seemed eflly to hor at this distance. \ "I do remember now," she said cruelly, "but I think thet was mostly it's being springtime, and your being the first man who ever took me out. I was awfully young then--in love with love. And I didn't ¥now you mearly so we!l as 'T do now." "The more I know you the bet- ter I like you, Beth." Beth was silent, "I thought this," he went on at- ter a pause. "It's coming on win- ter and this place where you're living isn't very comfortablé.
