That's al uonsense go ssii Mrs Arden
Yes; but, Clara, darling
There's d" Use wasting any further a.
gument IN the question" said Clara, set
ting her lips together. when YOU invited
him here to dinner without consulting
me you made very great mistake"
But what am t. cof I've asked Ein,
and there's no alternative"
"Yes, there is. Do as other gentlemen
do, and invite him into the restaurant
that is, if you must keep this headlong
engagement
"But never did such a thing in my
life before said perplexed Charley.
"And hope you never will again" re-
piled Mrs. Arden with some accrbty-
that is, so far as inviting people without
any forcthought gocs.'
The color rose in Charley Arden
cheeks.
"Clara," said he, "if you had asked n
dozen people herein only thought would
be how TO best welcome them"
'You are not a housekeeper," said
Clara, coldly, with sick cook, and
everything in disorder"
"Pshawl" said Mr.. Arden, as he went
out, closing the door behind him with
more emphasis than was necessary.
"Men are so selfish, SO inconside-ate! !"
she said to herself. Gas if l would brave
the criticism of Oscar Tenwick, who has
diDed at Partisan saloons and knows half
dozen aristocratic fanilie, where they
keep men cooks and regular dining room
servants. It's quite out of the question,
and so Charley might as we'll understand
first as last. If lucy hadn't been i'll
with an intermittent fever, might, per-
haps, have tried to get up nice dinner;
but as it is 10 man could expect it of
me-"
SO Mrs. Arden adjusted her pretty,
shining braids Of brown hair in the glass,
and nestled down in one corner Of the
sofa, to forget the weatisomc trials and
yicissilUdcs Of real life in the pages of the
morning papers.
1t Was late in the afternoon when a
visitor was announced, with rather unu-
sual ab!uptness, by the red armed maid
en- of all work, who was trying to supply
the place of the disabled Lucy according
to the best of her ability.
"Please, ma'am, it's Mrs. Marley
Clara started up half ashamed Of being
caught in her morning robes so late in the
day:
IF it was any one but you, Mrs. Mar
ley" said she, laughing and blushing, 81
should apologize for my short comings.
As it is, you are just in time to take off
your things and stay to dinner with me-
I'm alone tonight and your society will
be a real charity"
"Why, where is your husbaud?' asked
the visitor in surprise.
"DiniDg out"
"Wherel'
II don't know. The fact is, he met an
old college friend this morning, and in a
burst of inconsiderate hospitality-so
like man, you know invited him to
dinner. OF course refused to ra,ify the
invitation. Whist could do with Lucy
sick in bed! SO told him lie must take
his friend to a restaurant or some such
place. He assented with rather a bad
grace, l must confess, so here | am
alive"
Mrs.. Marley was pretty. fair com
