There was an exquis- ite coolness and cleanness about the earthen floor of the one large room; the tiny deep windows shone in the sunset, the high hearth, upon which Deanie could sit, with little danglin , Was decorated with the field- blooms of the late Summer, Queen Anne's lace, Michaelmas daisies, as blue as pale summer skies, goldenrod and yarrow. The polished heavy old ; ere were blue bowls in a row on the mantel, and 4 gay pink-and-white gingham draped the deep, dark bed, Cverything was simple, useful, ptimitive, "Won't we have to move these flow- ers, if "we're to have any supper?" Geraldine asked of the farmer's wife. Mrs. Simmons, blue-eyed, affectionate, with immense bones and a childish smile, nodded wisely. "i cook; r you at my house," she . "Too hot here." 8 pretty hot at your house, 3 the children," Geraldine Jersisted pleasantly. The big Swed- sh woman really disliked the soli- citade that made her children's claims in any way comparable to those of the owner's friends. -It belittled her own high estate as the owner's servant. She grinned nervously, and said noth- ing more, A Geraldine and Deanie performed a brief toilet in the only other room the cabin contained--pouring some warm water from: a marvelous old blue: pitcher 'and Niping their faces om, Jien towels as thick and soft as velvet. * ". She presided at the farmhouse sup- Tr; 8 simple supper, that kept tn- olding, she remarked to the diverted n'a mysterious and satisfying manner, from a small beginning. There was in evidence merely a great bowl of rice when they sat down. "Huldah thinks that A food!" Louis said in a disgusted tone of voice. "Well, and so it is!" Geraldine laughed, pourin creamy milk © for Deanie, and splitting o the hot, heavy rolls. "And sweet butter, Louis, and what's. this--cheese? cheeses, and those oily things. there are fish--- now, don't hurt her feelings!" she be as the amiable Huldah return: ed. "Just wait and see!" Huldah brought boiled eggs, laid only an hour or two earlier, and rich diamond-shaped cookies for Deane, and a dark plummy , i "Why, we shall burst!"

"Huldah isn't?" She was shocked. "But--she lives here with him?" "Of course she does; those boys are theirs," he answered, contentedly, "But-~why aren't they married 1" % "1 don't know--don't want to, per- aps. t, Louis--that's--that's disrepu- table!" Geraldine argued. "They don't think so!" She mused, frowning. "No, I suppose they don't! But you ought to make him marry her, Louis." "My dear child--it's the other way! He's twenty years older than she is. He's frantic to marry her." "Oh!" Geraldine did not find this very palatable, either. "What a-- what a funny thing!" she said dis- contentedly. "They seem so nice." "They are. They're the best sort" he answered. "Oh, but Louis, to do a thing like that!" "Well, think a moment, my dear. Isn't there something ratiter fine about people. who don't need iron bands to keep them together?" "No, there isn't!" she said briefly. "We have only one life to live here," he said presently, "and the love of a man for a woman is a won- derful thing. They love, they give-- and they shut the world from their holy of holies as they would shut a 243 ST 31 'owx San noi pue--nof sao] stranger. What does it matter?

She "has wrapped herself in a cocoon, like the silk worm, round and self about until she can neither hear nor see anything beyond her en- veloping case. She is hopeless, be- cause unlike the silk worm she will not wake up and eat her way out. When"she first went to the small town there was quite a flutter of excitement over her advent, a bril- liant pianist, a singer and a univers ity graduate was a great acquisition for that small community. The min- ister's ovéfworked wife, the doctor's pretty young bride and the very mod- ern school teacher were ready to follow her leadership, but instead, with all the gifts she had to bestow, she slumped down and - began to weave a cocoon. She isn't very happy in the small town for even the patient wife of the minister has become tired at last of listening to "how many yards of edging, and why, and what the neigh- bors said." If she wants companionship she will have to unwind herself, or eat her way out, for the average woman of to-day is no cocoon dweller. HAS BROKEN ALL TRADITIONS Present King of Siam Only One of His Royal Line to Refuse to Estab. lish' Harem. It is a curious fact that while wom- en of the lower classes in Siam have always enjoyed the greatest freedom, participating and competing with men in the business and pleasures of life, the ladies of the royal household have been kept in (he background, appearing at only the most private social gather ings and never ht public or. official functions. As all former sovereigns had in their harems the cream of the aristocracy of the country, and, as they inevitably felt a hesitant chivalry about exhibiting théir "wives" in pub- lic, they barred all women of rank from sight, The sovereign is expected to have In his harem a member of every influential family in the country, for it is considered 'that in no other way could he be in such close touch with the people of his kingdom. Po- lygamy has, therefore, been considered an obligation of royalty. But, curi- ously enough, the present reigning monarch is a bachelor, the first and only bachelor who has sat upon the throne 'of his fathers in twenty-five hundred years. And thereby hangs a tale, for marriage by a Siamese sov- ereign has meant not the simple taking of one wife, or a dozen, or even a mere hundred, 'but the wholesale adoption of a thousand or more. The young king's father and his father's father, round and round; she is winding her-|: = SEAL BRAND COFFEE "Now as always=--Y our Guarantee of a perfect cup of.
