"You've gone too far!" he exclaimed, angrily. "This is our last quarrel. I'm going right out of your life." "Oh, H*enry, darling, where are you going?" she cried. "Where I'll never trouble you again," he replied, as he started to open the door. "I'll find a place where wild*adventure will wipe out the memories of this moment--perhaps in the jungle--or on the stormy •eas--" • - • As he spoke he opened the door, closed it again, turned sternly to his wife, and said: ' "It's lucky for you it's raining!** IttVI GOES MODERN A young midshipman reported to the commanding officer of a battleship for duty. The C. O. was a gruff old sailor who had worked his way up through the years. He sized up the youngster coldly, and said, "Well, young fellow, I suppose that as usual, they've sent the fool of the family to see." "Oh, no sir," replied the midshipman, politely, "they've changed all that since your time, sir."

Having lost her part-time maid to a war plant some months before, she really had to hustle when She planned to be away all day. And now she was due at the hospital. She made a last-minute checkup before pulling on her gloves. The table was set for dinner though it was only nine o'clock in the morning; salad greens wefe crisping in the refrigerator; the casserole and biscuits were ready to be popped into the oven when she returned. * Laura locked up, glanced at her watch and wished her big, oldfashioned house were a bit nearer the bus line. As near as--as Mrs. Farnham'e modern bungalow. Mrs. Farnham hadn't come to the hospital on her regular day last week and Laura wondered why. As she passed the bungalow, a mere half block from the bus, she instinctively glanced toward the porch --just in time to see Mrs. Farnham skid on a bar of soap and upset a pail of water. • Laura repressed a wicked urge to laugh. There was something funny about the stout matron's dignity being diluted in the puddle. But maybe she was hurt. Laura dashed up the steps and was relieved to find that the lady's pride had suffered rrfost. "You'U be all right when you've changed into something ory," Laura consoled as she helped the sputtering woman into the house. "Look he*e, I've just missed my bus anyway, so why don't you take off those wet clothes while I hunt up your robe--" "Robe!" Mrs. Farnham snorted. "I've got to get into another housedress and finish scrubbing that darned porch." "Oh. Is your cleaning woman- on vacation?" "Vacation!" the indignant woman barked. "It'll be a permanent one far as I'm concerned. She took advantage-of the present shortage of domestics. I engaged her by the hour and she slowed down until I was paying her more for less work." She tossed the dripping garment on a chair and finished explosively, "I fired herl" --~- "You'll find someone else," Laura 2293ESaiflflEJ;- ^Not a fcnfinCi.
