Edouard naturally gay in his DISPOSE
ton, had great aversion for sombrt
colors, particularly black. She wore
black matthias, black dresses, black hats,
black wells; you would have thought
she had lost every member Of her family.
Retaliation was not long in coming
Louise had said hundred times that
she would not exchange their apart
ments in the Rue de Rivoli for a pal
ace, Edouard suddenly discovered that
the location was too noisy. He gave
warning to his landlord, and took lodg-
ings in dark house in the most desert
ed street Of the Morasis.
Music, even in spite Of the opinion
which Molierc puts in the month Of Nj
Jordan, was powerless to rc-cstablish
harmony. To the great annoyance of
delicate ears in the ncighborhood, as
soon as madame began to play in key of
sol, monsieur would take a prediction
for the key Of h, and if monsieur found
pleasure in the melancholy movement Of
an adagiO, madame commenced imme-
diatcly one of the most sparkling polkas
in her repertoire.
They had lived thus for more than u
month. The vase was full drop was
only wanting to make it overflow. 1t
was not long in coming One morning
Edouard, as he was about to 90 to the
court room, perceived Ranton nonchal-
aDtly extended upon the papers he was
to take with him. Ii was permitted to
Tom to take such a liberty, but in Ra-

not be chastised to severely. The in

from her dearest boarding school friend.
Attracted by the noise, she had no diff
fcuty in detecting the culprit.
You have taught me, sir, to be sur
prised at nothing she said, picking up
the precious fragments.
Blame this cursed animal, madame,
whom | found extended on my papers
This poor animal has only spared
you the initiative in a new style of an
noyancc, which you would doubtless
soon have invented
Il am lost in admiration of your per-
spicacity, madame, aud especially at the
anuhllation of your conjectures.
TO predict the future is only to re-
cal the past
you delight in playing the part of a
victim
No one will dispute with you the
palm in that of tyrant.'
If the tyrant is so insupportable-'
The slave should then throw off the
yoke Is that what you were about to
say, sir =
AT any rate nothing is easier; hus-
bands have no bastiles at the present
day to support this pretended tyranny
IF they had most of them would
throw the doors open on condition of
never seeing the prisoners again
A not unreasonable conjecture
Il have been thinking seriously, for
some time, Of satisfying your secret
desire
Indeed | have not been accustom-
ed to have my wishes thus anticipated. ,
My mother has already offered me
an asylum
'Ah! you are woman ofprccaution.
And of execution
Whenever you wish
This very evening, sir
The sooner the better
The quarrel was Interrupted by the
announcement Here is the doctor,
madame
Louise had been indisposed for several
days, and had given orders that the ply
sician should b. sent for. None of the
dispute between the husband and wife
