It occurred to me a few weeks ago
that I should like to Identify myself
with some charitable work. I think
it Is broadening to one's character to
take part in any good movement of
that sort, and as nearly all the fash-
ionable people whom I know are in-
terested In one or another of the
philanthropic societies of tbs city 1
determined to join one.
I beard that a member of the "Dig
Amies” had resigned on account of
moving out of town and I determined
to ask Ruth Ritchey to nominate me
for membership in that exclusive lit-
tle circle of ten friends.
“You know, Luclle,” said Ruth
rather doubtfully when I spoke of the
matter, “all the girls In our club are
hard workers. We not only attend
the meetings faithfully, but we pledge
ourselves to do our utmost for the
charities we assist. Just now we are
trying to raise a considerable sum of
money to give at Christmas time to
worthy charities.”
“I’d be glad to contribute |25 if that
would be any help.” I remarked,
casually.
‘Indeed It would and It’s awfully
good of you, Luclle.” Ruth's manner
was perceptibly warmer. “Of course
It would be very nice to have you In
the Dlx Amies, but I wasn’t sure
you’d like—I mean, have time for the
work. You know we are getting up
a bazaar now.”
“I just love sueh work,’’ I cried,
enthusiastically. “Is it to be a fancy
dress affair?”
We did think of wearing peasant
costumes."
"Oh, do,” 1 sold. “I should choose
to be n girl from Alsace. A big Al-
satian bow in my hair Is so becoming
to me.”
Of course then we shall have to
have the peasant costumes.”
A few days later I was notified that
I bad been elected to membership in
ths Dlx Amies. I st ones ssked fa-
ther for ths amount of tbs initiation
fee, for R Is Quite impossible for me
to stretch my allowance beyond my
usual expenses.
"And father.” I said after he had
written the checks “I am extremely
anxious to contribute to the charity
fund which the club Is raising for n
Christmas offering i and If you will
give me 924 HI feel that you've made
me a very lovely and generous Christ-
mas present and I won't expect any
other gift from you or mother."
Why, Luclle, are you sure you
won't be disappointed when all the
ribbons and tissue paper are being
strewn around Christmas morning?”
he asked.
“No, Indeed. I shall he only too
Hostess st her first postnuptial tee,
the brand-new matron solemnly eyea
the girls who clustered about ths
table and her tones were weighty and
portentous.
“Girls,” she said, “the moat agon-
ized morning of my life was my bridal
morning—and George’s. It's really
quite a long story. You see, Just as
soon as my .wedding day was decided
upon and publicly announced, all my
friends seemed to feel that It was up
to them to help celebrate. Forthwith
began a succession of showers, card
parties, dinners and theaters, which
was harder physical work and a big-
ger mental strain than anything I’d
ever known.
“I would reach home about" two
o'clock in the morning from some
northern suburb to meet myself start-
ing out for a luncheon down near the
Indiana line. During the salad course
of that luncheon 1 would have to ex-
cuse myself to my outraged hoateaa
and make tracks for Evanston, there
to grace with my presence a library
shower given in my henor. At six
o’clock 1 was due at Oak Park, where
a distant cousin was to give s dinner
tor me and following that ordeal was
a theater party. A midnight supper
downtown came next and the hour
and a half that were left to me out of
the 24 were passed with the hair-
dresser, who repaired the ravages of
the day's hilarities.
“It was very evident that if I con-
tinued at the same rate rests would
havs to be taken In all the garments
of my trousseau,” went on the brand-
new matron. "George wanted me to
go to a sanitarium, he’s so unselfish.
You know It would have killed him If
I had gone away from him.
“The night before ws were mar-
ried,” went on ths brand-new matron,
“mother gsvs the bridal party dinner.
The crowd of us danced and had mu-
sic and talked till most three. And
at nine nest morning I was to be
married—and Oeorga! It couldn't be
n hit later, for the only train we could
take left at ton. And I was deter-
mined, and so was Georgs, to go no-
where but to Bole Rouge, Canada,
where ws had ths dearest little log
cabin right In ths heart of a forest.

termined to get every minute of my
allotted hours of sleep. There would

Father dipped his pen in the Ink
and when he had written another
check he handed it to me with a smile
that plainly ahowed he was pleased
with my unselfishness. Mother told
me afterward that he was quite
touched. It’s a real pleasure to me
to feel that I have won the approval
of my dear father.
Notwithstanding that 1 argued
strongly In favor of fancy dress at
ths basaar the girls decided agatnBt
It. Even Ruth said the money and
trouble that fancy costumes cost
might better be expended upon the
worthy charities we desired to help.
The only fun I had at the basaar
was In displaying a beautiful lapls-
lazull necklace which I put on. Walk-
ing around the room I tried to Induce
some one to buy It. But no one ap-
peared to be in the mood to spend
930 for even such an attractive orna-
ment. Just before the basaar closed
I went back to the Jewelry booth and
told Ruth, who was In charge there,
that I feared It waa hopeless to try
to sell it.
"Well, may be It will go if we mark
It down to 92B,” she said, thoughtfully.
‘‘We should still make a small profit,
for the dealer let us have It for whole-
sale price.”
"That seema quite a bargain." 1 said.
"Yes, of course It’s too bad to make
so little on the necklace, but It would
be better to let It go at that than
not to sell It at all.”
“I’ll take It myself, Ruth," 1 said,
with suddsn determination.
“Oh. will you? How nice!" she ex-
claimed. as I gave her ths money.
The day after the baiaar the Dlx
Amies had a business meeting, but I
was too tired to go. Ruth came In to
see me on her way home from it and
told me that we had made a consid-
erable sum.
"With the 924 you have so gener-
ously promised. Luclle,” she sold, "we
shall have the amount we have eet
our hearts upon. I suppose we ean
have your contribution at any time?”
"Why, I have already paid la that
|2S,” I answered.
"You have! When?"
When I bought the lapls-laiull neck-
lace.”
"Why^Luolle." explained Ruth, "you
must know that only n small part of
the price of that necklace came to
the club.”
"Well, you seemed very glad to aell
It and I supposed I was doing the club
a favor when t bought It," I explained.
"U certainly was a great bargain
and I congratulate you on getting It,
for 1 am sure It is very becoming to
you,” said Ruth, toughing In her dis-
agreeable way. Then she went al-
moat wltheut a word.
When I think of that elasperaUag
laugh of hers I feel that Ruth has nnt
had the advantage# of thorough cul-
ture. but I try not to judge her
harshly.

‘“Child, it’s eight o’clock!” she
gasped.
The words were like an electric
shock. I leaped Into my old shoea nt
one bound. I nabbed my comb and
wound my hair in an antique coll at
the nape of my neck, though my hat
had been specially designed for the
latest style of turban hairdressing.”
The girl guests appreciated the-ca-
tastrophe and looked profound sym-
pathy. I
“My old-rose color si^t was the
handiest.” went on the bkand-new ma-
thon, “and I slipped Into it without so
much as a glance In the mirror. I
slid down the stairs, gulped a swal-
low of coffee In the kitchen and then
rushed down the street, putting on a
pair of soiled white chamois gloves,
which I had grabbed In my excite-
ment. 1 quaked as I neared the
church, hut with the courage born of
desperation I peeked In at the door.
Girls, there were no uehers In evi-
dence, but scattered about the church,
even In the ten front seats on the
middle aisle, were visibly excited
spectators. The organ waa playing,
and I nearly had a fit on the spot for
fear some one would recognise me
and give the signal for the wedding
march!
”! wonder yet how I had the
strength to get around to the rector’s
office, which adjoined the chancel.
However, when I accomplished the
feat, there I found George, disheveled
and wild eyed, arrayed In a shiny old
blue serge suit and a spotted tan
spring overcoat with an automobile
cap on the back of bla head and
crumpling In hit hands » gray glove
and a reddish brown one. He nearly
expired from pure relief when he saw
me.
“By that time ft was a quarter to
nine and It waa evident that there
was no tim* to lose. We called In a
passing expressman and a maid who
was hurrying to the corner grocery
with an apron thrown over her head.
With tbeae as witnesses we were mar-
ried. And after the splurge we had
prepared!

“George called a taxicab, and juet

met the beat man In an automobile,
urging on a chauffeur who wae break-
ing the epeed limit ecandalouely. If
luck held, the reat of my bridal party,

lo laugh.
