"O, George, if you only will, it will

"Then," said her husband, turning
to the clerk, "you may send it TO my
house,

The young husband took five. ten
dollar bills from his pocket and paid
them over for the sofa.
"This is the money" said he, as he
was walking home, "that I was going
to put into the Savings Bank, You
know that this is quarter day, and that

unpleasant fact, and continued enthusi-
stlcally to expatiate in praises of the
ew sofa. She could not be contented
NTH Mrs. Savary had called and ex-
ressed her opinion of it. This hap

Mrs. Hall almost wished that she had
yer bought the sofa, but having done
, she was determined, if possible, to ~

Then she began to indulge in brief III
