was sleepy and warm. , ,
Then a man's voice quietly chimed
In with her mood—
"There's a superstition about that,
,you know—** ,
"Yes?" she questioned without mov-
ing. and then, startled, she turned to
I see a tanned, white flannel clad young
man standing behind her, his keen blue
eyes thoughtfully considering the day
jiuooh.
"Funny so few ever write about that
! or paint It," he was saying. "JJow^I
jcould place It over hazy hill*,between
columns of marble—" his long lingers
|tightened on the brush they held, "but
jthat superstition—"/ He turned to her
and she greeted him with a smile. Hut
I It. was quite different from that Inti-
mate questioning "yes." Oh, It was
entirely polite, the smile was, but very
!cool, for the girl had come hack from
ithe white day moon to this queer old
world where there are men who have
'been introduced, and there are others
(oh, quite attractive oUiers^-who have
not.
The artist laughed pood hnmoredly.
"I didn't come up to talk of moons,"
he said, "and I apologize for belnc so
Informal, but I'm painting this land-
iPCBpe-^" his sweeping gesture took In
the sunny hills and the gleaming riv-
er—"ami just as I was getting it my
light yellows gave out—that's the
main tone-*nnd then I saw your easel
and wondered if you, helcg a painter,
too—"
"Of course," she admitted, "light
yellows. One couldn't paint without
them today. But the oil tubes aren't
here yet. if you'll wait—"
. She motioned to him to be seated.
"It's wonderful to paint," she said
as he complied.
"Isn't it, ihouyh? And on a day like
tills."
She nodded and sniffed the sun-
scented air delightedly. "Nature's .lust
baking," she declared, and laughed
as she added, "Cooking things always
smell good to inc."
The artist tapped the ground with
his brush. "Nature," lie said, "is the
one arllst who Is practical. There are
no few like that."
In the valley below was a white
church, seeming ridiculously tiny as
they looked down from the lilll. The
wee door swung open and—
"Why, that darling white speck,"
cried the girl. "It's a bride! And
the black speck is I lie groom, and all
the rainbow specks are—"
The artist watched them. "From
this distance," lie mused, "we can sup-
post* them the ideal couple. Mother
Nature is healthy, artistic and practi-
cal. We people can all be the first
and then we have our choice between
the other two."
lie had often talked in this strain
at the club.
"I hope," he added, "that one of
those little specks can dream to some
purpose and that the other can—boil
eggs. They might use the day moon,"
he suggested.
"Oh," she remembered, "the day
moon ! What was that superstition?"
"An old Hindu thing, 1 think. Your
watching it so Intently made me re-
call it. On tho noon of the full of
the day moon one should pray to it
for his heart's desire. But he won't
receive It unless it is worthy and fair-
ly practicable. It's best to sleep with
a white cat until the new crescent
appears, and there ought to be some-
one else who wants the same thing.
They could vow for the practical."
"How keen you are for the pradl-
cal." She turned to look at bint.
"Well, being an artist I've bad to
cook for myself now and then. It
jiinkes a man think. I shall never
marry nn artist, while you, now. if
you were to marry some Intensely
practical fellow—"
Suddenly he didn't; want her to mar-
ry any too intensely practical fellow.
"But maybe you're not nn awfully
good artist," he suggested hopefully.
"I don't wonder our grandmothers
laugh at us," she declared, rising
briskly. "This May of discussing our
most personal affairs in an impersonal
wny \\ith utter stranger* is funny."
He chuckled at her dainty decisive-
tics,®, aJld, rising, too, "Do you know
I wish you weren't nn artist?"
The c'rl was shading her eyes and
looking off toward the hot, lazy river.
A canoe, paddled by a sfrong, drab
clad woman, glided ashore. The girl
rmflcd.
"Ah, there's Annette," ghe mur-
mured,
"Annette Frnscr, the artist," lie
nodded.
Tl e girl's bnzel eye* doubtfully np
praised the easel rtiwl sluol. "I hope
tlie^c ore right."
She turned (|iilzr^pilPr toward the
artist, "t Mi, by the way." nlie snid.
and there wns ntiiiiseia.uf in her vdee
\
and, yes, apology : \
"Vou see." she waved trer hand to-
ward the canoe, "Annette paints," she
paused a moment ; "I'm a teacher of
cooking."
(Julie abruptly she sat down utuons:
the daisies and lifted her eyes to the
•lay moon.
' "No!" he exclaimed, and quite ab-
ruptly he sat down on the green be-
smeared palette, but his eyes—well
i)c had forgotten the day raooif.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. .'It), 111'^tl.
To The l'eniocrat :
I want to express uiy personal
appreciation for the assistance
given us in tli(. fire prevention
work in your city recently. I
hardly think that the average
citizen realize* the debt of grati-
tude which he owes to the ha-al
papers for the education he un-
consciously receives through
them, and as a rule the newspa-
per men get but little thanks for
the efforts made to assist iu
these public movements. How-
ever, without men of. your type,
the world would see but little
advancement, and I hope that
you will understand my keen ap-
preciation for your good work.
Your Y't'bllcatlon Is one of the
most interesting that I read,
and I am glad to see that locjil
advertisers seem to be enthusi-
astic users of your columns.
Yours truly,
" PARKER V. M'CAS.
