RUTTER FROM LESLIE PRES-
COTT TO LESIE PRESCOTT
(CONTINUED.)
Leas than a month after marriage
and Jack and I have come to an
impasse from which each of us is
turning away in a different direction.
It is too horrible! Jack’s manner
of approaching this understanding as
be called it gave me to understand
that he thought I was “the woman who
did not care.’’ He was particularly
obstinate and foolish about it. and we
were quarreling over a little letter
with probably nothing important in it
from a man friend to him.
It the letter had been from a wo-
man I could see why he might have
made such a fuss about it. Why he
must take this little silly thing that I
had done in opening au envelope ad-
dressed to him (1 hadn't even read
the letter he snatched it from me be-
fore I could do so) as a text for what
seemed to me was going to be an in-
terminable sermon on personal liberty
I could not conceive.
I determined to forestall him If I
could.
"All right Jack if this is to be a
mutual understanding party please let
me state my case first.
"From what you have just said and
the anger which you have shown at my
misunderstanding in regard to what I
must consider an unreasonable require-
ment on your part I must come to the
conclusion that even though you dis-
claim ail intention of being a despot
you are one.”
Jack raised his hand in protest but
I went on. "I will in the future grant
your ungraciously implied request that
I do not open any letter addressed to
you but 1 must in turn ask that you
do not make a spectacle of me before
atrangers. In all my life I have never
been so mortified as I was this morn-
ing when you so furiously snatched
that letter out of my hand. Surely you
must know what that smug clerk be-
hind the desk was thinking. The whole
action was one of those very things
that the cartoonists grasp so quickly
and from which they make the little
tragedies of married life seem only
gidiculons and laughable episodes.”
Jack's lips curled derisively and then
and there.l learned that what women
call the tragedies of nurried life and
what are the trgedies of married life
tome n are very different.
Even after this morning’s quarrel I
still cannot see vhy I should be so
very particular about letters from
Jack's men friends and I told him so
adding that I would be perfectly Satis-
fied to let him read my letters from
Beatrice Grimshaw.
Jack snorted. les he fairly snorted
in anger. “Wa-wa-wait a minute” he
stuttered “can you not just for a
second get away from a concrete and
simple action which is comparatively
meaningless and look upon the prin-
ciple behind the thing?”
I don't know why Jack’s intima-
tion that it was not possible for me
to be reasonable made me so angry
but I was fairly beside myself with
rage.

Prescott that there was something in

cMiftlctoccMilk if
automatically handled'
Clever touched by hands
Milk the most precious of foods is at the
same time the most perishable. It is a long
and tedious route from the dairy farm to your
doorstepi—a route beset by countless oppor-.
tunities for the contamination of this wonder-
ful food.
Were it not for organizations like ^fistlctoe
capable of handling thousands of gallons of
milk daily cities like San Antonio would ex-
perience serious milk famines all through the
year. It would be utterly impossible to supply
large cities with pure sweet and wholesome
milk every day unless modern creameries
existed.
The reason ^rCUtlctoe Creameries can and
does deliver to the thousands of homes in
San Antonio the very finest of milk is be-
cause we have first a modern plant capable
of handling this great amount of milk and
next because in this plant we have the
machinery that automatically handles the
milk from the time it is received into the plant
until it is capped ready for delivery.
