When Hubby Comes.

From the Albany journal.
1.-THE most delightful person at a summer re-
sort is the woman with a Sunday husband"
says one who knows. ''She is ALWAYS to be
found IN some of the quieter resorts near the
large cities. She is always pretty, usually
young and the most devoted wife in the world
on Sundays. During the week, while her hus-
band is down in the city. she is the leader in
all the gayeties that are going on. She plays
tennis with the college boys like the best of
them; she firts with the elderly men, who
quite understand her, and she turns the heads
OF all the quite young men who don't UNDER
stand her. All this during week days.
But on Saturday night everything is
changed. When at dusk the big stages come
rumbling up to the little hosiery, with
their long seats filled with tired, dusty
looking men, she stands, the bcst-dressed, the
most eager-eyed. affectionate little woman In
all the assembled crowd of gu SITS. and when
Tom comes stepping mp to the piazza she gives
one wild little cry, settles on his coat collar 40
II she had done nothing all the week out mourn
for his absence. And Tom pats her fluffy head
and feels sure that he has the dearest little wife
in all the world. and they walk of, she clinging
fondly to his arm, quite like pair OF lovers,
while all the men who have been her slaves ali
the week look foolish and would like to punch
Toms empty head. But they don't know, poor
souls-and neither does Tcm-that the whole
thing was got up for their benefit For q
woman always likes to show man the epdear-
ments that may be in store for some man. even
though she has no wish nor purpose that they
should be for him"
