# An agent was showing a prospec-
tive tenant over a small cottage,
and explained that he required a
quiet family.
“Have you any children?” he in-
quired.
“No!”
“Have you a piano or wireless?”
“No.”
“Do you play any musical instru-
ment?”
“No, but my pen scratches some-
times.”—Tit-Bits Magazine.

“Well—er—I could have enjoyed i
longer nap.”
AT EVENING a
TIME

The “Briny Toyshop” was closed
for the day. Its tiny show win-
dow still displayed an enticing ar-
ray of delightful playthings, but
the latch was hard down on the
door, and its little lady propri-
etress had retired to her favorite
low rocker by a rear window fac-
ing the sea.
The most persistent youth in the
small sea-faring village rattled
the door, but in vain. Miss Ma-
tilda Bell did not even hear.
There seemed more than ordi-
nary magic in the glowing spell
east by the sun at this close of
day. The old-fashioned garden
sloping to the rocky shore seemed
a fairy place. The sea was many-
hued. dusky, wondrous, and its
melody came pleasantly to Miss
Matilda. There were dreams in
Miss Matilda’s eyes as she
watched; not the happy, hopeful
dreams of youth, but the deeper,
sadder dreams of one who has
lived long.
Miss Matilda was so much a
part of her surroundings that she
had ceased to notice them in de-
tail. Her mind had flown back
nearly 50 years, to the time when
she had not the faintest thought
of ever being a little, elderly,
sweet-faced lady sitting by her-
self in the twilight.
To the time when she was a
young, adventurous girl pledging
her troth to a dashing young naval
officer. Even now her eyes grew
dim as the memories came drift-
ing in on the breeze. Dream pic-
tures blotted out the garden, the
rocks, the sea itself, and Miss
Matilda felt herself in the arms of
her young lover, so tender, so
dear—
And he had sailed away, full of
hope and happy anticipations of
the day when he should return to
make her his wife. Miss Matilda’s
eyes blurred. That day had never
come. There had been a fire
aboard the ship—and the young
officer, who belonged heart and
soul to Matilda Bell, had given
his life for another.
Years had taken away that first
tragic grief, but Miss Matilda had
loved too deeply to forget. How
she wished she had been with
him! Sometimes he seemed to
speak to her in the voice of the
sea, and she would say that she
was coming—some day soon, very
soon—coming to be with him.
On the rocks below Miss Ma-
tilda’s cottage two figures were
silhouetted against the dull red
sky.
“But, dear girl”—the man’s
voice was tender, serious—“you
don’t know what the life is. I
do—and I wouldn’t condemn any
woman to it, least of all—you. It
will be a torture without you—
but it wouldn’t be fair to take
you.”
The girl’s straight, sweet gaze
held his steadily.
“But, Tom, don’t you see I
want to go? It may be years
before you come back. Our mar-
riage-that-is-to-be is going to be
Wise and Otherwise
— A —
“A child must have a chance
to express its ideas,” says a
psychologist. Yes, but not on
plain wallpaper!
“Girls were quicker in their
movements eighty years ago,”
says a writer. They got a bus-
tle on then.
“And they call America the
land of free speech,” said the
disgusted Scot when the tele-
phone operator told him to put
a nickel in the box.
The best husbands are those
who marry young. If a man
waits till he has money it hurts
more to pay it out.
true partnership, Tommy boy, and
it must begin by my going to
South America with you now. I
can face anything—with you!”
The two silhouettes suddenly
converged into one as Tom said
huskily:
“Bless you, sweetheart, you’re
coming with me. VVe’ll play the
game of life squarely—together.”
And up in the little dusky win-
dow above the garden, with the
sea still crooning a low love song,
Miss Matilda had come into her
own.
