John Kevins wns having lunrh at
his cluh when excited eselamatlnns
from four young men sealed al the
next table caught his attention. The
youths Jumis-d up and crowded around
the window. Being humanly curi-
ous, Kevins turned about and looked
out on the street. A youngish woman,
nnsllshly dressed, was uhout to turn
the corner. The wind blew smartly.
“Oh, boy!" exclnlmed one of the
young men—he had Celtic red hair—
"llie Lord Is good to the Irish!" John
Kevins clenched his bunds at what
he suw till there were dents In his
palms. lie favored the hacks of the
absorbed youths with one baleful
flare, then turned abruptly away from
his unfinished luncheon ami left ihe
clnh. But on the way hack to the of-
fice an Inborn sense of humor came
to his rescue and he chuckled aloud.
Ue had had an Inspiration.
At live minutes lo nine on the follow-
ing morning, when Viola Kevins np-
peured at Ihe office of ihe Kevins fam-
ily physician, it was plain that some-
thing hud seriously upset tld> usual
calm poise of the lady’s manner. Al-
so It wns evident to Dr. Balfour that
she hardly expected him to believe
what she proceeded to relate concern-
ing her husband.
Now Dr. Balfour hnd known John
Kevins much longer than had Mrs.
Kevins, and, though Viola would have
resented any such assertion, fell that
he understood him much belter.
Therefore It was wlv.i very little mla-
giving that he stated his opinion.
“No, I hardly think your husband
Is losing his mind, though the actions

Jap School Costume*.
A new school costume for three
large achools for girla in Tokyo Is re-
ported In a Japun society bulletin. The
freshmen girls will have Jackets fash-
ioned of pink material and skirts of
violet. The second year girls will
wear blue Jackets and third-year maid-
ens. In virtue of their greater matur-
ity and sdvnnclng wisdom, will be
privileged to have their coats cut from
brown cloth. The Tokyo schools mak-
ing the change are the Girls’ Commer-
cial school, the Yamawakl Girls' High
•chool, and Atoml Girls’ High school.

Mrs. Totnpklns smiled coldly as she
went on sewing. Ten minutes later
Tompkins staggered Into the room and
sank Into a chair.
“.Some raw meat and arnica. Mar-

advice: Keep calm; act as though
nothing unusual were happening, but
watch him Closely, if he develops
other eccentricities let ine know.”
Some hours later Mrs. Kevins
awaited John's return from the office.
Seated before the library fire, she was
comfortable In laxly but uncomfort-
able in mind. The latest fashion mag-
azine failed to distract her thoughts
from Incidents of the previous eve-
| nlug, even though it exploited a brand-
new fashion detail at which Viola or-
dinarily would have gasped with Joy.
Being the first to introduce a new
style'ln her own home town hnd grown
to he more than a fud with Mrs. Kev-
ins; It had tierome a fixed principle.
The ettek of the latchkey heralded the
approach of the tmiu of the house. A
word of greeting, a connubial kiss,
and John Kevins departed upward to
freshen for dinner ns was tils wont.
“Nothing unusual shout his manner
so fu|\" Viola reassured herself as
she awaited his returning footsteps.
They came tnp-tap. on the polished
hardwood of the stairs. Viola felt
her fears Justified. Hastily «he re-
minded herself thnt the vain expostu
lotions and half hysterical plead ngs
of the evehlng before roust not he re-
pealed. Dr. Balfour's advice hnd been
to keep calm, ami calm she kept ns
John Kevins hobbled Into the room,
his feet, unusially small for a man of
his size, encased In exaggeratedly
high heeled pumps. resplendemly
bnckled. He addressed his wife with
uiutter-of-fart seriousness
"If I don't make faster progress
than this, learning to matinge these
things. It will lie days yet before til
huve the confidence to wear them to
the office."
At thin development of ultimate
purixwe Mrs. Kevins gave one horri-
fied gasp. Then her attention was di-
verted to the imperative need of
atnndlng between John and the maid
»• the latter appeared In the doorway
to announce dinner. When the g'rl
had departed kltchenward In search
of soup. Viola offered her arm aa an
aid In negotiating ihe perilous combi-
nation of rug, and polished Boors.
John scorned It.
Throughout the dinner, much to
Vlloa'a relief, John kept his feel well
under the table—alie had such a hor-
ror of the aervanta talking! Also hla
conversation was absolutely sane.
Mrs. Nevlna almost began to doubt
th* evhtenc* of her own arose* about
the shoe*, But ho; It waa all true;
for when the meal waa over there
was J«bo, mincing his way slowly to
Ihe library door, upon those horrible
heel*. .Viola walled for him to dla-
a PI mar through it before ahe rang for
the maid. Then, even as bar hand
found the bell, there came a crash
from the library—and allenre.
Instantly she realized what had
happened. Also t]iat she must get
there first and get rid of the ridicu-
lous footwear before the aervanta ar-
rived. If the worst should transpire
there mint tie no gossip «lxiut “queer
actions of poor Mr Kevins" to go ihe
Woumlx. Viola flew—to find her ap-
prehensions Justified, and John lying
motionless mi the library floor.
AN lien Dr. Balfour responded
promptly to Mrs. Kevins’ distressed
I’hone call, the master of the house
was still unconscious. Blood flowed
from a cut on his lend. The physl-
elan hnd the Injury dressed in no
time, waved the servants out of the
room and said: “It's u trilling scalp
wound. He Is merely knocked out and
B'“y come to any moment now. What
happened?"
Mrs. Kevins, In mute explanation,
produced from under the daveuixirt,
where she Imd hurriedly hidden them,
the evidence at once of the cause of
the accident and of her husband's un-
balanced state.
"Uiii-m!" remarked Dr. Balfour,
“haven't I seen you wear shoes much
like these yourself?"
Mrs. Kevins resented the tone of the
Inquiry. It seemed to put her on the
defensive. “Certainly." she answered;
"but since these ure women s shoes,
will you please tell me why I shouldn't
wear similar ones? The strange thing
U a man's wanting to wear them. It
aeems to me.”
Because Mrs. Kevins wns looking
straight—and somewhat defiantly—at
Dr. Balfour she Just here missed
something which thnt worthy gentle-
man saw. During his wife's speech
John Kevins had opened his eyes,
looked at his physician—and winked.
“Rather small of Viola to object to
m.v W earing shoes Just like here, don't
you think, doctor," he Interjected sud-
denly from the couch, "especially
when she hns taken to wearing socks
precisely like mine? I came a cropper
tonight, but HI learn how to manage
the cussed things yet—and give the
girla at the women's club something
to laugh alamt when I go by. We can't
let the men'* club have all the fun
and free allows, can we, doctor?"
“John." cried Viola, half laughing
In her boundless relief that It was all
a Joke after all, and not a case of in-
cipient dementia; also with her arms
tight around her husband's neck. “I
hnd no idea you saw me that day—
or would mind It to much. And to
think you might have killed yourself
trying to cure me. Why. John. dear,
you ure more to me than all the fash-
ions thnt ever were Invented. And
I'll—Til go looking like a dud here-
after if you want me to."
“You couldn't," said John, "not If
you tried.”
Which tactful remark closed a pain-
fnl Incident in the happy life of the
Nevlnses. And that old wheeze about
history repeating itself. Is. so far ns
It relates to Mrs. Kevins' socks, a fib
