A cheerfully lighted hall is a friendly intro-
duction to your home — a pleasant memory to
the departing guest
Plenty of clear light carefully shaded to
avoid glare is the ideal to be sought in home
lighting
LIGHT IS CHEAP
Public Service Company
of Oklahoma
Let’s Be Fair
Some of you folks who read this have owed me for over
three years Crop failures and the demands of those who
loaned you money made it impossible for you to pay your
doctor bill Yet your banker hasn’t been able to keep the
cloud of illness from hovering over your home It may be
that if you had a little more to eat and a little more to wear
your folks wouldn’t have been sick but regardless of that
it can never be said that Dr Maxwell refused to come and
minister to your loved ones because you owed him or because
you did not have the money If it hadn’t been for Dr Max-
well’s help you might not have been able to have made your
crop and paid your banker- The night has never been too
dark or too stormy to come to your aid
Now that a little prosperity is about to come your way
come in and make a payment on that old bill- It will make
three of us feel better about it — you and I and the other
fellow whom I owe

TERRY PURE rose leisurely
from bis deep chair as bis tele-
phone Mil ran “Lei her ring" be
said “Whnt’s the hurry?"
But when he beard Beatrice
Hardwick’s voice In the shaky “Hel-
lo” he came vividly to life
“Why Bee" be said briskly1
! Why Bee It’s great to hear you'
To whRt do 1 owe this unexpected
and undeserved pleasure?”
“Terry" said Beatrice "don’t be
sarcastic I — "
k “I’m not being sarcastic Just
truthful To what — ”
"Hush ap” 'said Beatrice cross-
ly “Terry It’s pretty awful I’ve
lost my Job"
“My dear girl" he said sympa-
thetically “That’s good news It
rloesu’t do to linger too long with
the minority Join the mnjorlty
even If It’s wrong and hare a good
time"
“I wish you wouldn’t be so hor-
rid" sighed Beatrice’s voice "I
don’t know whnt to do”
"I do" said Terry “Marry me"
So Terry and Bee were married
Beatrice bad a foothold away In the
country— a small farmhouse and
some not very good land which ehe
had Inherited from her grandmoth-
er - And Terry had a email — very
small but pretty sure— Income of
the unearned sort
They were married one morning’
and traveled that day to Bee’s lit-
tle house And they spent their
honeymoon palming aDd cleaning
and patching and arranging And
within a month they were living
happily away from the world as If
they bad never known the clatter '
and glamor of New York
But within a month their family '-
had grown alarmingly Whenever
Terry drove to the nearest town
lie brought back some sort of pet
Terry's content and happiness
were persistent Sometimes Bee la-'
mented her lost life Not that ehe '
wasn't happy now She was hap-j
pier But ehe couldn't feel that It!
was quite— well quite right to
have such a good time and worry I
so little about the future And all I
their animals— they only made a ’
Stronger tie to break when she went :
back to her old life j
But It Is right" Terry reas-1
sured her as they knelt beside each
Other thinning out the radish bed
It’s the rightest thing there la
Lookl" Terry settled back on his
heels and pointed bis remarks with
his troweL “We aren’t either of
os paying rent To be sure I'm'
I living In my wife's bouse but wli
I of It? She likes to have me An(
ij
were going to grow enough stufl
to make us fat this summer am
what little money I’ve got goes
: darn sight further here than It di
In New York and— oh Bee aren’j
we happy I”
And (but ended It for the time
Of course they were happy As slit
listened to the crackling Are latei
on Bee ndmitted to herself with
out reservations that she wal
happy '
“Terry" she said the present
crowding out the past “let’s gei
up early tomorrow and transplant
the lettuce And then take out
lunch and go picnicking over at
the lake"
Next evening when they came
back tired and happy and hungry
from their day at the lake Terry
stopped to get the moil out of theif
box by the roadside while Bee bur
rled ahead to open the house and
start the fire for supper Undei
Die front door was an envelope She
stooped to pick it up It was ad-
dressed to her Penciled on Its face
was a note from the postmaster
of the nearby town “I stopped by
special with this" he wrote "It
had a special delivery stamp on
Sorry you were out" ’
She walked resolutely to ttie
kitchen lighted the fire Terry had
laid before they went away filled
the kettle with fresh water put
It on the stove and then took off
her hHt before she opened the let-
ter “Old Job waiting at old sal-
ary" she read “We are reopening
hour department and cannot carry
on without yon Advise Immedi-
ately Would like you baek by the
-sixth"
The sixth Bee’s heart sank It
was the fourth now But of course
she'd go She'd have to go She
spread a yellow linen cloth on a
table before the living room hearth’
and mechanically laid out the old
blue china that had been her grande
mother’s She poured a saucer of
milk for the Persian cat Of course!
she’d go back Lovely old china—
tear little house but of coarse
‘he’d go She got a pencil and pa-i
per to write her acceptance She’d-
telephone a telegram “Sorry” she
wrote while still suylng to herselfti
“Of course I’ll go— I’ve got to"j
Cannot return Have better Job
l'hnnk you for offer" i
When Terry carnet tn Bee was
humming She had yelled a blue
apron over her pink dress She
stood before the fire cooking bacon
find stirring cocoa and poaching
eggs and making toast as if her
life depended on getting them all
'done to a turn
“Oh Terry" she called out
Telephone thnt message on the
table to the telegraph office will
you? And supper’ll be ready In a
second— as soon as I fix the salad"
