It was 7:25 by the clock in The Tombstone
| Republican Office The buggy was at the
door to take Tombstone man to the train.
His hand was on the knob. "Good-by,n he
called out. There came from some one up
stairs, through the half-open door, femin-
inc voice, 'Good-by." Then he had gone
out into the glad spring air, odorous with the
foretokens of coming life and musical with the
songs of the est-builders. But there was no
song in his heart, no spring hope and light in
his life as he took the reins out Of the grooas
hand and spoke to his horse a sharp ''Get
onr' And as he rode through the royal
avenue that led up to the house this is what
he thought: eff had been a guest Martha
would have been up and dressed She would
have laid o spray of fresh flowers at my
plate. She would have set at the table and
seen that my coffee was good and my eggs
hot and my toast Drowned. And I should
have at least parting shake of the hand,
and hope expressed that l would come
again and perhaps a wave of the handker-
chief from tie balcony. And should have
carried away with me that smile that is
brighter than the sunshine as the last gift of
her gracious hospitality. 1t is q chance if
she would not even have proposed 10 ride to
the station with me to see me of. For she
knows, if ever woman did, how to welcome
the coming and speed the parting guest. But
am only her husband and l can eat my
breakfast alone, as if / were bachelor, and
get my coffee muddy or clear, hot OF cold, as
Bridget happens to make it, and take eggs
hard OF soft and toast burnt or sozgy, as it
chances to come from a careless cook. And
nobody cares. And when l go 'Good.by' is
flung after me like a dry bone after an ILL
cared-for CIR. Heigho! What's the use of
being married anyway2n
And this is what she thought as she put the
last touches to her hair before her glass, and
tried hard to keep the tears back from her
eyes before she went down to see that the
family breakfast was ready: "Lwonder if
Hugh really cares anything for me any more
When we were first married he never would
have gone off in this way, and with a care
less 'good-by' tossed up strairs as he might
toss weI-cleaned bone to a hungry dog.
He would have found time to run up and
kiss me good-by and tell me that lie missed
me at breakfast and ask was I sick He is :
gracious to his friends, perfect gentleman
to every one but his wife. I believe he is
tired of me. wish could let him go. It
would be hard on ne, but it would be bet
ter for him. Well! I mustn't think such
things as these. Perhaps he does love me
aftertall. But-but-it is coming to be hard
to believe it, ;" And 50, with heavy heart
she went to her work And the sun laughed
in at the open windows and the birds chirped
cheerily to her all day, and the flowers waved
their most graceful beckoning to her in vain,
all for want of that farewell kiss.
Oh! husbands and wives, will you never
learn That love dies of slightest wounds, and
thatthe husband owes no such thoughtful
Courtesy to any other person as he owes his
wife; that the wife owes no such attentive
consideration to any guest as she owes to her
husband, and that ofttimes a little neglect is
a harder burden for love to bear than an
open and fragrant wrong

Tailor-made dresses are to be more than
ever the fashion the coming season. Ladies
possessing good figures know that their per-
feet fit shows the form to the finest advan-
tage; and those less favored by nature are also
aware that there is. nothing like u slightly
rough-surfaced fabric to give an increased
look to the size of their slender arms and
shoulders. Some of these suits are made up
in the severest style; while others are re-
markedly jaunty and picturesque.
Dress-skirts are growing decidedly fuller
and wider, and this decided tendency to
boufant styles has, as history plainly reveals,
been almost invariably the forerunner of

less scores of manufacturers, who have sum-
moned their hitherto idle forces and begun
