IL not good for John to believe you

No, but II IL not wise to show that
you care too much for them

Dear Madge,' said Janet, smiling,
would it do you any harm to receive
o little more attention from your lns
band !?
OF course net. | wish he'd try
said Mrs. Harley laughing at the
idea
Then you don't think enough OF
Yourself already ? and nothing would
make You vain, suppose
Madge colored, and all the more
when she perceived that William
Maston had come in quietly, and was
now standing behind Janet's chair.
This of course put an end to the con-
vcrsation. Madge retired to her
own room to think of Janet's words.
and TO confess secretly that they

Hours passed before John Harley
returned home. He was a man OF
coed abilities, and we'll to do in the
world ; and having married Madge
because he truly loved her, he had
expected to have happy home, Bnt
partly because he was reserved and
sensitive and partly because Madge
feared to make him vain, they had

and had a cap trimmed with ribbons,
on her head.
You're smart, Madge, he exclaimed
at last when he had stared at her
for some time in silence. Who has
been here worth dressing for to-
night :
NO one until you came said
.Madge half laughing
Il Nonsense you didn't dress for
me / cried John.
You wont believe it, perhaps, but
l did. / have been talking with
Mrs. Mason this evening, and she
has given me some very good advice.
So now John, what would you like
for your supper ?
John, who was wont to steal to the
shelf at night and content himself
with anything be could find, thought
.Madge's offer too excellent to be res
