Too Much Efficiency By E.J.®)Ratb BEG I* HERE TODAY J(|H\ W. BROOKE, widower nnd hardware magnate, ar , with a firm of efficiency engineers to manage ins “home for I We months w hile he is aw ay He fail-; to inform his three (frown children, Conrrdance, Hil ly ait# Alice. They learn of their father's arrangements, how ever, when H. HEDGE, efficiency engi neer, takes control of the Brooke household, occupies John W.'s suite and turns thg library into an olTire. Hedge has rut off Hilly's .allowance because he re fuses to work and reinstated Constance'-; since the became his secretary. Alice draws an al lowance because she is still at tending school. Alice *ird Billy are indignant because Constance has appar ently gone over, to th>* enemy, especially in view of the fact that Hedge prevented Constance from eloping with Tommy Treadwell. Today Fledge is ac companying Constance on a shopping expedition. They have just started. Constance has pur-’ chased cwernl pairs of gloves contrary to all expressed rules which Hedge insists in charging of ^efficient management." • NOW GO ON W ITH THE STOKY As they left, liie glovi v's and re entered the car Constance wits try ing to get a grip or herself. ‘‘Steady," she whispered to her heating heart. “This is only a little skirmish. It's not event tut outpost taken. Don't lie too sure.” “Where next?” he demanded. Constance pttrsod her lips doubt fully and studied the extendedd tip of her shoe. “Shoes?” he asked. “How wonderful you are at guess ing," she murmured. “Really, I need a pair of walking shoes." H. Hedge left her in the shoe shop while he returned to the side walk and delivered a sharp lecture to Frank, the chauffeur for allowing the motor to idle and thereby con sume gasoline. “It kaves the starter, sir,” ex plained Frank ‘Iking the starter runs out the batteries.” “Use the crank,” advised the effi ciency man. "It’s good exercise." Frank said that*hi would, but d'd not explain how he would most like to use it. Unck in tb i shun, he f und t\>n stance regarding three pairs of shoes with fond eyes. “I don’t know which to take," she said, looking up with a smile. “Which are the walking shoes?" “That’s the trouble. They all are." He examined thp shoes critically. "Veil do n good den* of walking." he observed at length. “I’ve noticed it." v "Yes," she admitted ruefully. “jt’s economy not to wear a single pair >f shoes continuously." he add ^ed. “That has been demonstrated.” ■k “I—I think I havfe heard that.” to the clerk: Of course, I ben p them all up." stance bent her head and be- i ihing in her purse with dutiful She did not care to look up, it the efficiency man mi^ht jret the gleam in her ev/s. ,e them.’' she heard/him crisp tones. pUT.V * 'Hit* tite’s, the unidles that of them.

I’d forgotten.” “Necessary expenditures, in order j to preserve efficiency, are always i o 'omy. Y.i i iTc^ded gloves and shoes, did you not?" "Indeed yes!” “Very well. Then we have been | practicing economy and living up to j our principles. Economy, 1 may add j in mere dollars, frequently costs more than extravagance. Note the case of your New Year party. “It would have been extravagance protect the wide, to pay two hundred dollars, say for : the employment of musicians and the purchase of indigestible refresh-; ments.

She beamed at hint in sudden be wilderment. IIow eouhl he possibly have gne«srd. How could he be so wonderfully human? And why— oh. why couldn't he always he like that? ‘You are a mi rid-reader, Mr Hedge,” she affirmed. ‘‘You almost frightened fne." “No. 1 am not a mind reader," said the efficiency man positively. “Hut von sec. the other day I noticed that your muff and bon might easily, west profitably, he replaced with a •er •• ore in harmony with your fur coat.” “When in the world did you notice that?" she asked in surprise. “On the back stairs." Constance turned pink. It was the first time he had even alluded in the most indirect manner, to the morn ing when he had robbed Tommy Treadwell of a bride. She herself had brought tin the subject once, by mistake, but H. Hedge had never reopened it. “1 diil not know you were so ob serving," she raid for the sake of speech. It is my business to observe. Where do you buy your furs?" She gave a direction to the chauf feur and presently the efficiency man found himself in one of those Fifth Avenue shops that resemble nothing so much as a palatial private home. Half an hour later, truly dazed Constance emerged with a silver fox shin around her neck and a great muff that matched it. Furtively she pinched herself to make sure it was not a fantasy of the brain. "It’s five o'clock." announced the efficiency man. "Shall we drive in the park or take tea?" “You decide,” she murmured. "We'll drive. It would have crented logical, after his amazing afternoon’s record, that the efficiency man should be in gay mood. pot..
