A Wife or a

Oaptar XLV.
Dr. OmpojU thought be kae* 11 w-

BUD of M* college daya; the Howard
Hake of Fraare. But he did n < »».ow
AaMtte. Aad *o tbe How_rd Blake
who ha -arried Anaette Beamed a
stranger to hun.
Had it rot been for the occasional
apart* of rnthoaiaani and token t that
will showed glimpse* of the old Blake.
Jtr. Campbell would have four 1 a way
to let bun know his services were no
looser of use to him. But the-e dashes
in the pan. some wonderful! v delicate
operation the necessity for which had
roused Howard to his old-time keen-
aet'. would come ju»t as the okLr man
»** ready to yield to discouragement
sod sever the connection. He knew
How ard was a proud man that only a
word would be needed.
“Ask me to your house Blake. Mrs.
Campbell is out of town for a few davs
end I’m rather lost Without her al-
though she often laughs and says that
when I’m old and retired well get ac-
quainted."
“Certainly. Come home to dinner
with me tonight”
It wae after one of Howard’s spells
of working that this conversation had
occurred. For several days he h-d
spent every available moment with a
patient upon whom be was grafting
practically a new face. A poor fellow
whose jaw and the entire- side of his
face bad been torn away. The opera-
tion promised to be a success. but tbe
Krient needed close attention. Both
. Campbell and Howard were in-
tensely interested in it not only be-
cause of the operation so difficult but
because of the personality of the in-
jured run.
“Annette may I present Dr. Camp-
bell. He baa consented to dine with
u*.”
“I begged an invitation Mrs. Blake.
My wife is away and I am lonely with-
out her.”
Annette was perfectly polite. Too po-
lite. Her greeting bad no warmth. It
meant nothing to her that the man who
had honored her was sought in vain by
hostesses that he waa considered the
lion of any gathering to which he could
be coaxed that he was respected and
beloved. All these things weighed noth-
ing as against tbe fact that be wae the
man who urged her husband to remain
away from her to take work at the hos-
pital that required the time and atten-
tion she considered belonged to her. 80
while polite even courteous snd a per-
fect hostess as far as looking after bis
wants at table went she never changed
her attitude of cold frigidity.
After dinner over their coffe* the
two men spoke of the case in which
they were so interested. After a bit
Dr. Campbell apologised.
“You must excuse us for talking
shop. Mrs. Blake. But I expect you
are like Mrs. Campbell and expect it.
Me says if I didn't talk shop with
every doctor who comes sear me she
would tnink I was ilk”
A slight acknowledgement a frosen
smile was Annette's answer.
— -Dr. Campbell did not remain late.
The nest day he rem*“ked to Dr. Cald-
well. the man with wh en be bad spok-
en before of Howard :
“You were right Caidwell. It's the
wife!”

“I don't quite understand yet now
Mr- Blake impressed you.”
“She isn't the naiging. crying sort
—at least I don't iink she is. But
she is tbe kind that tells a man he
must do this or that and—he does it.
I understand sbe is alone in tbe world
since her father was drowned and tbat
except for distant Relatives she has
no one but Blake. Probably makes
stock of tbst. I boye I am not doing
the lady an injustice She has a mar-
velous cook” he added with a laugh.
Had he known that scarcely had the
floor closed upo- bin tbe night before
Annette had coldly requested Howard
not to ask him to dine with them
again he Slight have been a bit sur-
Pr '’But he is continually sought by
hostesses. Yet he seldom accepts an in-
vitation because of his work.
“That makes no difference to me.
You have spent all tour time with him
for tbe last three dab I have scarcely
seen you. Then yeu bring him borne
and talk shop while I sit more alone
than if you weren’t in tbe room. It is
my money. 1 will choose the guests I
entertain." ...
Howard had left the room without a
word While Annate had let him feel
it was her money from the first she
had not so bluntly put it >nto words.
She bad rather m«» him feel sbe liked
to have him share it- ^ow he realised
that it was only in her own way. when
he did as tbe waited him to. that sbe
was happy in sharing her inheritance
with him.

Cotton Crepe Makes Dainty Apron
Home Nursing and Health Hints
“There now. You look real nice and
neat” said the woman who had never
attempted to do anything for a sick
person before parting the bedspread
nice and smooth and settling tbe big
satin comforter.
“It feels nice. Just a trifle hot
mebbe and a mite wrinkled under-
neath. But it looks nice.” And the
elderly woman in the bed tried to
speak with an enthusiasm she did not
feel.
When one has been lying in bed for
a long time the sheets are bound to
become hot and wrinkled underneath.
And the mattress covering beneath
the sheet the very mattress itself
causes vague pains and aches to the
poor bnman body pressing against it.
But the old lady who was bed-ridden
patted the rose satin comforter and
thanked her daughter-in-law grateful-
ly. It was a nice comforter. _ And
after all sbe mused when one is old
one must expect aching bones.
Just then the boy who bad been in
the army stamped into the room and
freeted bis grandmother affectionately
t was to him. while Amy was down-
stairs. that tbe dear old lady men-
tioned the slight matter of her aching
bones.
“I suppose si! your bones ached when
you were sick with trench fever in that
camp hospital in Gallipoli.” she said.
“Not so badly as you'd imagine.
Those orderlies were the beet ever"
said tbe boy. "If yon could only have
seen them with bands as gentle as a
woman's and a way of straightening
<mt the sheets. That's what makes
you ache. 'Wrinkles underneath.”
“I wonder?” mused the old lady.
“Of course it would be a sight of
trouble unless a person could get up
in a ehair.” She spoke almost wist-
fully. .
“Heaps of the fellows were months
in bed. though. And I soon learned
Listening In on Eve
“How comes it you are staying in
this evening?" asked the interested
housemate. “Csn it be that there are
no theaters toddle balls or suppers in
the world tonight? Or maybe you’ve
broken a leg?”
“Hub!” said the popular bacheior
scornfully “I am always going to stay
borne evenings after this! 1 am go-
ing to read improving books as you do
and smoke pipes and gaze into tbe gas
logs and maybe I’ll buy a cat. 1 am
off the gay life I tell you.”
"I can just catch Dr. Bunkus if I
telephone immediately” murmured tbe
interested housemate stretching bis
hand out for the instrument. “Some-
thing must be done.”
“Hear me" the popular bachelor
proceeded warmly. “I have just waked
up from my slumbers. Unless I want
to end my days on the sunny side of
the yard in some old gentleman's charity
home there must be a halt Besides
I need time to consider the modern flap-
per and deb. They need considering I
tell you.
“Somebody dares me to join a thea-
ter party and because I am fasci-
nated by the slant of Corobelle Batts'
eyes I enthusiastically accept. We
four men jointly pay enough for tbe
down-front seats to support a modest
family for a week. The four lovely
maidens are certain to dislike the seats
after we get there and suggest we
change ’em. Corobelle says se does
bate to be in the third cow where
she can see the deep wrinkles around
the leading juvenile's eyes and Tas-
manda adds that unless she can sit in
the front row sbe would much rather be
in a box. Whereupon Verbena pipes
up that sbe loathes boxes and it seems
that Petrole* thinks it would be a lark
to sit up in tbe front row of the bal-
cony and be real Bohemian.
“By this time the curtain has gone
up and we have to sit where we are.
Most always tbe girls tell us kindly
that they have seen the play before
when they were in New York and
then they talk together ell the time
about their new spring clothes.
“Afterward we trail over to the
Whitestone for something to eat No-
body wants anything to eat because
all of us were plentifully fed at din-
ner time but. as Corobelle sadly says
we’ve got to do something. One of
us men slips the bead waiter a fiver
in order to get a table so situated
that the girls won't die on tbe spot
in disgust at being showed off in the
Aprons and other work garments that
combine utility and beauty are tbe de-
mand of the moment. Among the ma-
terials that have been found particular-
ly worth while heavy cotton crepe occu-
pies a place well at the head of the list.
There are dress and apron styles ga-
lore of course; but the little model
shown in tbe sketch seems especially
worth while. It is easy to make easy
to slip on easy to launder and ceitsin-
ly designed to give long wear as cotton
crepe is used both to make and trim it.
To make this apron a perfectly square
section of material is cut and one point
is cut off so as to give a square line
at the neck This piece of material
may be used to form the pocket the
strap that holds the apron around tbe
neck and the strap tbat joins tbe two
points at the back. The neck strap is
attached at both sides so the apron is
merely slipped back fastening to the
other point with a button and button
hole or a snap fastener. Crepe in con-
trasting color borders the apron it is
trimmed with appliqued motifs in two
or three colors.
For another easy to make and prac-
tical little work apron is used a
straight strip of the material long
enough to reach to the waist line in
the back and whatever length is re-
quired for the apron in front. Tbe
neck is simply hollowed out making
it a slip over. The back section has
a band attached to it that is long enough
to circle the waist. This is drawn
to the front and fastened. It is trim-
lied with pipings and appliqued motifs
in contrasting color.
A new and practical apron recently
seen was merely a straight length of
fabric gathered at one side and slipped
over a metal hoop bent to fit about the
waist. The particular advantage to this
apron so its originator declared was the
fact that it would fit any figure and
could be slipped off the hoop for laun-
dering.

Changing the Lower Sheet.
how those orderlies changed the beds
and everything. Just watching them
you know. The way you change a
sheet under a person who can't get out
of bed. for instance. Take the fellow
who bad both legs smashed. Heavy
splints on and all that you know.
Couldn't move a muscle. Well those
orderlies would roll them over on their
side with some convalescent soldier
standing b.v on the other side to steady
the splints you know. The man that
was changing the sheet would untuck
the soiled sheet and fold it up close
to the patient's back in tight fiat folds
against the mattress. Then he would
lay the clean sheet on the side of the
bed nearest him one-half of it folded
flat against tbe roll of soiled sheet.
Then he would tuck in the clean side of
the sheet and the fellows would tip the
sick man back you know so as not
to hurt his broken bones any more
than they could help.
And there he would be. on the
clean sheet and *ll there was to do was
walk around the bed. draw the soiled
sheet out gently smooth the fresh
one. and the mattress covering tuck
them in and there it was. No trick
at all. Why. I’ve often helped change
a mattress under a fellow who couldn't
move a muscle.”
The old lady whose bones were aching
gasped.
“Change a mattress with a person
lying on it?” she said
"Absolutely. I'll tell you all about
it one day. Meantime I’m going down
to tell Amy what an easy thing put-
ting fresh sheets on the bed can be—-
when you know how. I half suspect
that you are lying on wrinkles this
very minute.” And the lad who was
studying medicine and had a hand as
gentle as a woman's himself went cheer-
ily downstairs to try to tel! his sistet

to order and after tbe resultant con-
fusion the waiter departs with a list
of things that are going to total up
big.
“We wait twenty minutes and then
Verbena jumps up. 'My goodness!' she
cries frantically 'but isn’t this slow?'
She simply can't stand it another
minute. What’s the use of waiting for
the old order anyway? Come on let's
go to the I’ink Cockatoo Gardens where
every one is going—-oh come on! The
other girls jump joyously at the idea
and so we four men perforce jump also.
We depart from the Whitestone know-
ing full well that whichever of u* men
the head waiter hapepns to remember
best will get the bill tomorrow for that
supper we didn't eat
“We descend on the Pink Cockatoo
Gardens and find it in full blast. Get-
ting a table at all means at least a
tenner to the bandit in charge. We
have worked up a faint appetite by now
and probably we order lobsters and a
few other million-dollar tidbits. When
they come the girls nibble about two
bites and then their attention wanders.
They had rather dance or size up the
other clothes than eat anyhow.

we are getting into the cars tbat they
have the most wonderful jazz orches-
tra at the Whooperup Cafe and let’s
drop in for a dance or so! So we in-
clude the Whooperup in the map of our
pleasant evening. The Whooperup has
a big cover charge and naturally we
have to order something to eat which
nobody eats.

hour ghastly late reach Lome ourselves

all day. Bedies Corobelle flirted ter-
rifically with another man. so what's
tbe use? 1 am for tbe fireside for-
ever.”
“That’s too bad" his housemate told
him. "I forgot to tell you at dinner
time that Corobelle phoned and left a
message for both of us to come on over
tonight because they were getting up
something—she didn't know what.”
“It’s just as well we don't know"
said the popular bachelor wearily
starting toward his evening clothes
hanger. “The longer we are in ignor-
ance the happier we shall be. Uf course
we’re going. Cmom”

A Bedtime Story
By JOHN BARTON.
TAD COON CERTAINLY WAS CU-
RIOUS.
Yes. the man whose airplane came
down in Tommy Peele’s field felt mighty
tired and dizzy. It's not a bit of fun
to have an airplane's engine stop in tue
high-up air. He bad most as much
trouble as Chewee the Chickadee did
when he tried high flying with Jack
Snipe and had such an awful time get-
ting back to the ground again. And I
expect be felt about the same as that
He Bounced Off With His Tail AU
Fluffed Out Big as Himself.
guttery little bird. So he just sat still
resting until he should feel strong
enough to find out where he was and
what had happened to him. And be still
had his big glary goggles on.
Tad Coon sat still too. But not for
very long. "It's the Headless Hunter”
he nodded to himself. "It most certainly
is.” And so it was. At least that's what
the wild geese had named this very ma-
chine. "Now isn’t it funny it didn’t
buzz?” he tqused. "I'd surely have heard
it And tbe Grey Ganders said it did.
Bugs mostly do.”
For you know Tad told Bobby Kobin
it was a queer sort of a bug which bad
hatched in tbe moon. He didn't know
where heard that but he believed it all
the same. Almost anything queer was a
"bug” to Tad. Don't you remember how
he buried Tommy Peele's watch because
he thought it had a bug inside of its
shiny case. Well this airplane “bug”
was so very big and so very queer he
just had to find out about it.
He crept near it paw over paw.
Pretty soon he could see where its wing
was crumpled. "Poor thing” he sighed
"poor little thing.” 'Cause Tad had a
funny notion that the bigger you were
the worse it would hurt you to be broken
like that. At last be touched his nose
to its shiny varnished side. It was
cold. "Oh” he breathed in a pitying
voice. “It's dead. That’s just what's
the matter with it.”
Of course the machine wasn't any
more dead the way Tad meant than
yonr automobile when its engine isn't
running. But be thought he ought to
feel very sorry for it. Only deep down
inside of him he was entirely delighted
for now he could explore It. Scdltchey-
scratch went his handy paws along its
wing.
The man heard the sounds. He lis-
tened. Then he turned those scary gog-
gles he had on his eyes to see who was
making them. And he saw Tad’s funny
furry face with tbe black mask he wears
aeross it as if he bad on goggles of his
own. He forgot how tired he was and be-
gan to smile. "Oho. so you want to try
aviating do you? All dressed up for tbe
part so you are.”
Wow! Just wasn't Tad scared then?
He bounced off with bis tail all flutteu
out big as himself. And the man started
after him.

Just Between Oarselves
By Della E. Stewart.
A certain male anti-euffragist in
lecturing ia attributing present-day
peril* that confront tbe American home
to the recently won ballot for women.
Participation in politics he thinks will
inevitably disrupt family life and teach
contempt for it* duties.
It may. of course. There is always
a possibility. But if it does it will be
because women do not rightly gauge
tbe value of the new responsibility.
The ballot used as a sex influence in-
stead of a human affair is bound to
work dissension. The feeling of some
new voters tbat men are the natural
enemies of women and must be fought
against with th* new weapon is bound
to result in bitter opposition from ex-
perienced fighters.
The interest* of men and women are
inextricably mixed. They cannot long
be divided. It ia for both to work for
the family and the home units of any
sane society. The newcomers cannot
expect that all receive them with full
approbation. They have to prove them-
selves. and it ia not particularly strange
that men find it bard to divide justly
the power so long held by them alone.
But both working together the new-
comer* showing their fitness by their
wisdom and unity in these first try-
ing years of readjustment all can do
vastly more than by wrangling for
more power at the very beginning.
Men as a rule are not over-fond of
responsibility. If they become as-
sured that a woman can do well tbe
thing they have been shouldering
they are generally most willing to al-
low her to shoulder tbe burden! We
need to remember this before striving
for too many of their former preroga-
tives!

OPEN GYMKHANA
Renewed Interest in Horse-
manship Expected at
Army Meet Saturday.
MANY EVENTS CARDED
Children Enlisted Men Of-
ficers and Women En-
tered in Contests.
The stage is set for the army gymk-
hana to be held at Camp Travis Satur-
day afternoon which is expected to re-
vive the interest in horsemanship and
horses which thrived in San Antonio
years ago. The show will include
events which have been popular for cen-
turies some of which will be seen tor
the first time in San Antonio.
Among the most interesting will be
the steeplechase a favorite of England.
A special course has been laid out at
tbe remount station and horsemen have
been practicing for months for this
event. In the steeplechase will ride a
woman Miss Elizabeth Bacon of Marfa
one of the best horsewomen of the
army. Miss Bacon is the daughter of
General Bacon of Spanish-American
war fame and is the nieee of Col. R. D.
Forsythe commanding the Fifth Cav-
alry.
In this event ten men are entered
including some of the best riders in the
army. Horses owned by the govern-
ment private mounts of officers and
civilians will be entered in tbe race
meet.
Three flat races will be held. Argu-
ment of long standing ns to the speed
of various horses will be settled once
and for all at the meet for the horses
have been in training for months. One
harness race will be held.
A series of novelty events are also
to be staged between the regular num-
bers of the gymkhana program.
A score of children of the army under
fourteen years of age will compete in
a thread and needle race vegetable race
and potato face. In the vegetable race
each entrant is given a paper sack and
a list of vegetables. They mount and
ride to a table an eighth of a mile
away which is loaded down with vege-
tables. They dismount fill the sack
according to the list which they are
given and ride back. Tn the thread and
needle race they ride the same dis-
tance dismount thread a needle and
then return.
Burros will be mounts for the chil-
dren in the potato race. The children
will dash from a starting point and
get a potato 50 yards distant returning
to thg starting point and placing the
tuber in a bucket. Then they will ride
back and get another. 25 yards further
from tbe first. One at a time they must
return eight potatoes strung in a row
at 25 yards intervals.
In the Gretna Green race entries arc
in pairs dismounted at a scratch line.
At a signal they mount and ride 150
yards with hands joined. They then
dismount sign their names and ad-
dresses on a piece of paper and ride
back with hands joined. A comedy
take-off in the race will also be made.
The winner of the tilting race will be
awarded the privilege of selecting the
Queen of Love and Beauty. The en-
listed men will have a medal of honor
race. They will ride over three jumps
to a line of dummies whereupon they
will dismount and get a dummy in the
saddle with them and return over the
jumps.
A jumping in pairs class for officer
and lady is also included. A musical
ride a polo pony race and the steeple-
chase will end the show.

WILL RAISE FUNDS BY
SUBSCRIPTION TO KEEP
THE BANDA JUVENILE
Movement Started Friday to
Provide Finances ..
Needed. :
Following the refusal of tbe eity to
contribute funds toward tbe upkeep of
the Banda Juvenil San Antonio'* fa-
mous Mexican boy baud a movement
was started Friday to raise money by
popular subscription in order to prevent
Sou Antonio loking the services of this
organization of youthful musicians. In
furtherance of the movement which is
fostered by the chamber of commerce a
meeting was held there «t 11 o’clock
Friday morning and it was decided to
submit tbe question to ail civic clubs iu
the city and ask their aid in maintain-
ing ths band. Heads of virtually all
civic organizations were present.
Tbe Banda Juvenil it was pointed
out has been one of San Antonio'a most
valuable assets both from a step/jpgin'
of furnishing concerts for touristAvW
ing at conventions and promoting cordial
relatious between Mexico and San An-
tonio. The band was known throughout
the Mexican Republic it was asserted
aud brought San Antonio much favor-
able publicity thereby.
Mayor Black chamber of commerce
officials assert at one time assured them
that the city would contribute $3OOO
toward tbe upkeep of this band but lat-
er failed to get the appropriation. Aa a
result unless funds can be raised else-
where it is highly probable that tbe or-
ganization must be disbanded. Tbe
chamber of commerce has agreed to
stand one-half the expense or $3OOO and
hopes to raise tbe other half.
The movement to secure these funds
by subscription C. B. Yandell general
manager said was started after he bad
received scores of calls from citizens who
deplored the failure of the city to come
to the aid of the band and expressed re-
gret that the people of San Autonio were
in danger of losing the band. Aa a re-
sult the meeting was called Friday
morning.
Heads of the civic organizations rep-
resented will submit the matter to their
clubs at the next meeting and it is be-
lieved the amount necessary to keep the
band intact will be raised. The im ley
is needed for uniforms payment of an
instructor and for replacing musical in-
struments.
