she now waste time or employ her
thoughts about matters of personal
appearance
The habits of Mr.. Douglass on
the contrary did not change. He
was as orderly as before, and dressed
with the same regard to neatness.
He never appeared ut a breakfast
table in the morning without being
shaved, nor did he lounge about in
the evening in his shirt sleeves.
The slovenly habits into which Cora
had fallen annoyed him seriously
and still more so when her careless
ness about her appearance began to-
manifest itself abroad as we'll as at'
home. When he hinted anything
on the subject she did not hesitat VI
to reply, in jesting manner, th4t
I" her fortune was made" and she
need not trouble herself any longpr
about how she looked.
Douglass did not feel very md

ifg, Year, said Cora, tS whose eyes
the dirty looking face of her husband
was particularly unpleasant.
"No," he replied carelessly. "It
is serious trouble to shave every
day"
"But you look SO much better
with a cleanly shaved face"
"Looks are nothins-ease and
comfort everything" said Douglass.
"But common decency, Edward" J."

Still Cora argued but in vain.
Her husband went off to his business
with his unshaved face.
Idon't know whether to shave or
not" said Douglass next morning,
running over his rough face, upon
which was a beard of forty-eight
hours ffrowth.
His wife had hastily thrown on
wrapper, and with slip-shod feet and
head like mop, was lounging in a
rocking chair awaiting the breakfast
bell.
For mercys sake, Edward, don't
go any longer with that shockingly
dirty face," spoke up Cora. elf

Nothing; only it's such a trouble
to shave every day
I" But you didn't shave yesterday.
" 1 know, l am just as well to-day
as if had. So much saved at any
rate"
But Cora urged the matter, aud
her husband hnally yielded, ANA
moved down the luxuriant growth
of beard.
