But Barry had his own very definite ideas about what he wanted, and it took only a trifle to upset him, There was no laughing him out of a sulky or resentful mood, Barbara, like a million other young wives, speedily learned how to avoid occasions of dispute. And she was rewarded by his passionate youn love, intense to the point of act agony. He liked to be lazy in the morn- ings; but only until that instant when sudden interest in breakfast and the day awakened. Then she must fly to be ready in time for him. He loved argument, but she must not prssnt to him forcefully any detail he had not foreseen, Pic- nics and gipsy expeditions generally were his delight; but he must sug- gest them. If Barbara impulsively planned something of the sort, she was sure to be met with his cool One Gift Everybody Wants A KODAK You're safe in giving a Kodak to anyone at all, For everybody enjoys the fun of picture-making, Many styles and prices for you to select from here, Come in now--hefore the last minute rush.

When Barry worked his cautious way the line of sharp rock teeth that attached it to the shore, Barbara had to go away. She could not watch his progress to its peri- lous height, she could not answer his shouts of triumph when he stood at last on what, to her, still seem- ed dangerous and terrifying {oot- hold. He would bring her back two or three abalones, wrenched from their suction hold on the underside of the rocks, beneath sea level, and Bar- bara cut the Sclicions fis! into chow- ders and kept the pearled irride- scent shells for garden borders, But she was never quite happy ' when Barry went out to Abalone rock. Resolutely, the girl made the world perfect for him, She was al- ways free when he wanted to walk or explore, she cooked and painted, swept and raked, mixed chicken food and peeled potatoes, at his pleasure, with 'her own peculiar spirit and grace. { On the Monday that followed their wedding, they moved into the big house, or rather into the the three enormous rooms of it that they had had time to m3 abitable, These rooms were the kitshen, an icy apartment 1.ext to the kitchen, whose floor level was actually afew feet lower than that of the garden outside, and a smaller room, reach- ed by a fascinating flight of three or four abode steps behind the fire- place, which was to be Barry's work shop and study, The igloo, as they call¢d the cold room, was intended for a bedroom It was so bitterly cold that the kit- chen door must be left open all day long so that the stove and fireplace heat might render it fairly habitable |} night, arbara grew tired of fighting Fold aching and shudderin with November. Well, in California, Bray was spring--they could think of that, They cleaned the pantry, the cellar and the woodshed, gathered pie- turesque bits of pottery and glass from all the upstairs rooms--the ha- cienda possessed about twenty rooms and had sheltered more than that | [many guests at a time in its day-- and banished all possible ugliness from -the kitchen. Here, on the soft old irregular floor of warm brown tiles, Barbara set her table, established her reading lamp and chair, aligned her few books, puttered absorbedly over her cooking, and, in general, lived those hours she spent indoors, Every morning at about 10 o'clock after the leisurely breakfast they loved, and much affectionate praise of each other's Suggestions for the beautifying of the plage, Barry left her, carrying Tl nd papers up to the workshop that was tucked in like a bird's nest behind the big chimney. Barbara, leit alone, reveled in housewifeliness. Then there were al- ways a hundred things to do, all sorts of fascinating employments that tended to the one end--the complete restoration of the hacienda. The flags of the patio, long sunken under silt and grass, must be mmearthed one hy one.

Every day had its animated discus- sions, its problems and its fascina- tion, Barbara brought to the ranch life her own spirit griginality she had reasons and about the questions of pasturage, AN and cattle. She studied the financial situation seriously, Their taxes were in the neighborhood of $200 a year, their income began with the $2 per month per, cow that Tomas, wha had a dairy usiness, paid Barry--seven cows, that 1ieant $14--the occasional sale of a calf to the butcher for perhaps $7 or $8 every spring, and the rare, amazing in when a poem was sold, and an editor's cheque for $10 or $20 or even gave Barbara cause for awed thanksgiving. They did not have to buy cattle feed, for Tomas took care of that; it was only a bag of chicken gram now and then, their own food, inci- dentals and some day, of course, new clothes, Still, even these unimpor- tant-sounding items had a perplexing way of amounting to comparatively large sums. Barbara used to laugh, in carly days, at the long lists she had to pencil out for shopping tours to the small crossroads store at Milo. "The brown sugar and raisins aren't absolutely necessary, darling," she would say, loitering on the high door-step with her arms linked about Barry's neck, in farewell, "but the oatmeal and pepper and soup bones we ust have! And she would lay her radiant cheek against his, rubbing her fore- head gently up and down, like an af- fectionate pony, "Don't let any casual passing tour- ist 1 .ke eyes at my handsome hus- band." "Barbara, as: if I could ever look at any one but you." The beautiful blue eyes would smile at her re- proachfully, "Sweetheart, were ever any two persons in the world as happy as we are?" he would ask. "Babs, you know that I worship you, don't you?" "I kind of think maybe you do." "And if 1 act cranky and inhospit- able," Barry might- say penitently, "it's only because I want you all to myself." "And if I want to ask all friends from Cottonwood down here for a sort of housewarming," Bar- bara might answer, in the same care- fully calculated, light tone, "It's only because I don't want to seem rude, and, more than that, I don't want them to be wondering and surmis- ing things about us. Some Sunday afternoon we'll have a few roast chickens, and a lot of buttered bread and I'l make a cake--" But Barry never would yield point, "Then T'll not be here," he would exclaim, instantly aroused to the hos- tile attitude he had taken when the fiuestion had first been raised. And rom a loving mood of confidence and content he would be angered, dis- tressed and plienated from her com- pletely again. "You know how I hate the idea of a lot of people roaming around here, criticizing and poking," he would exclaim feverish- y. "I'd hate it. I'll not stand it, You're enough for me, God knows, more than enough, my cup is full, I only ask my wife and my home and my work. And yet you want Harry Poett and Lucy Barnard giggling and yelling all over the place--" "I only thought that, when Feh- FUary comes, you cross- 'grained child when the buttercups are up and the fruit trees in bloom, we could have the most delicious party--" "Party.

All right, ge ahead, give your parties, but I won't be here. go over to Tomas' and Maria Bettancourt will give me some stew for supper--tell them your husband loathes the whole damn lot of them."

But Fethens he would bave flung himself away from her and started on his walk to the store, two miles away, his handsome head bent, his long legs carrying him in frenzied strides over the rough wet clods of the fields.

But it was not natural to her to har- bor resentment, and Barry wopld scarcely be out of hea before her love for him, her happiness in bis affection and his content would melt her heart completely, and she woyld putter about the kitchen in a very fever.of eagerness for reconciliation. Barry, however, could carry bit- terpess of soul over some such trifl- ing altercation at this for hours, and it was always Barbara who must make the first advance toward friendship.

"Babs"--he would turn at her knee, firelight auyreoling his black mane with scarlet, his eyes pulsing with strange sapphire lights, in the sha- dow--"Babs, I promise you I will, on my sa d honor" But he never did. It was quite jim- possible that he never should, and although he never could understand this, Barbara presently did, and con- ceded in her heart, as women must concede the yn thinkable a nd unbear- able, that ho was a Aoi of the rice o she must pay for her genius ushand. On the other hand, Barry was childishly simple and indifferent to both his own beauty and to the seri- ous attention that famous folk, in far-away and unknown New York, began to pay to his work. Almost all bis poetry was accepted, and al- though all the magazines did not pay well, and sometimes the work of two days would bring him in something like $10 or $12, yet the letters that accompanied the accept- ances were astonishing to Barbara. Eastern reviews were beginning to speak of him with great respect. Poets wrote bim, poets of the young- er school, and what they said made Barbara's heart sing. She kept all the letters that Barry would have used to wedge the table leg or light the fire. Barry was working furiously ( u period play, to be called apo oleon IIL If it was taken and produced, of course he and Barbara would have to go to New York and see it. "Oh, Barry, imagine us in a box." "I'd buy you everything Barbara, You'd be the most envied woman in the world! We'd give entertainments that'd nock their eyes out, This was the man talking, and on the whole she liked him less than the child. For sos:etimes, following this line ©' thought, wi be- come magnificent and affected, and Barbara would suspect from the na- ture of his discourse that in his own mind he thought he was talking to these poets znd editors and mapa- gers in the east. #If you write what's in your heart Pwhat does it matter whether the pif- fing fool of a public gets you or not? What the devil is the public to me? I'm free of 'em. I'll be dam- ned if I'll ever kneel to 'em and lick their dirty boots, Write what you dan' well want to write." "Less damms, darling. You are merely addressing the simple rustic woman who is your wife." And then he would laugh sudden- ly, half ashamed. half amused, all litle hoy again, and perhaps come around 'he lunch table beside her and link his long arms about her waist. j "Baryerry Bush, are you the most beautiful woman in the world:" "I have been told so." "Well, I think you are! Are you happy, darling, are you really happy down on this big, lonely place, with a cranky husband and no servant and no neighbours?" "You know I'm happy." "Well, but you never say so, dear- est." The fountain didn't bubble in quite the old way, perhaps. Marriage wasn't girlhood; wives had respon- sibilities, cares, Soberer joys and clo- ser fears than girls could know, Bar- bara and Amy had decided years ago that they despised these giggling, girlish wives who boasted that the great step made no change. Wifehood was a change, and bappy marriage was a business that d ded infin- ite courage and patience, like apy other. (Copyright 1928 By The Bell Syn- dicate Inc.)

DISCOMFORTS OF AN AIRSHIP LINER Posminiet Draws Compari- sons With Great Ships in Service London, Dec. 5.--What are the future prospects of airships as car- riers of passengers and mails be- tween world centres? A comparison of what it is like to travel in an airship compared with an ocean liner was given yes- terday by Captain Allan Miller, a wealthy Canadian, who was a pass- enger in the Graf Zeppelin on its recent urn voyage to Germany "I would never put apy money in a cross-Atlantic airship service," said Captain Allan Miller to a re- porter. "There are only two things in favor of the airship as compared with the ocean liner; jou have time as a factor-- you save about two days on the jowr- mney: there is also the personal con- sideration that, in the airsbip, there iz mo sickness comparable te the illness of the sea voyage. | sca Voyage "You have against those two points discomfort. There is po real comparison between travelling in a liner--with all its amenities of life --and sailing in an airship. ; "I had a small cabin in the air» ship just about the size of a sleep» ing compartment op a railway train, There was no heat; everything was stone cold, We sat in a tiny loupge looking at each other, and because we were all together in one small partment we induced some warmth. Our sleeping cabing were unheated. We could wash in cold water, but we could not bathe, We had meals with a limited menu, "Think of those conditions and then think of the life in a great Atlantic liner, with every kind of luxury and every kind of comfort and evedy kind of comfort and every kind of attention. "It seems to me that airships-- if they are to have a commercial future--must be larger, stronger and fas.er. ; "Even then, I (hink that for the Atlantic seryice they should be confined to the carriage of impori- | ant mails and express goods--let- ters apd material wiich must be on the o'her side gquick'y.
