fancy il the queens English. She
turned 1t as q potter turns his clay. In
Britain our mother tongue has crys-
tallized long since into set forms and
phrases. In America it has still the
Elasticity Of youth; it is fertile in novel
ty-nay, even in surprises. And Melissa
knew how to twist it deftiy into unex-
pected quips and incongruous conjunc-
tons. Her talk ran on like a impid
brook, with a musical ripple playing
ever on the surface. AS for Bernard, he
helped her about the ship like brother
as she moved lightly around with her
sylphlike little form among the ropes
and capstans. Melissa liked to be
helped, she said she didn't believe one
bit in woman's rights; no, indeed-she
was a great deal too fond of being taken
care of for that. And who wouldn't
take care of her, that delicate little
thing, like some choice small master
piece of cunning Workmanship? Why,
she almost looked as if she were made of
Venetian glass, and fall on deck would
shatter her into thousand fragments
And her talk all the way was of the
joys Of Europe-the castles and abbeys
she was leaving behind, the pictures and
statues she had seen and admired, the
pictures and statues she had left unvis-
tied. Somebody told me in Paris" she
said to me one day, as she hung on my
arm on deck and looked up into my face
confdingly with that childlike smile of
hers, s'the only happy time in an Amer
lean woman's life is the period when
she's just got over the first poignant re-
greet at having left Europe, and hasn't
yet reached the point when she makes
up her mind that, come what will, she
really must go back again. And I
thought, for my part, then my happiness
was fairly spoiled for life, for / shall
never be able again to afford the jour
ney."
Melissa, my child" said, looking
down at those ripe, rich lips, sin this
world one never knows what may turn
up next. I've observed on my way down
the path of life that when fruit hangs
rosy red on the tree by the wall, some
passer by or other is pretty sure in the
end to pluck it,"
But that was too much for Melissa's
American modesty. She looked down
and blushed like rose herself. But she
answered me nothing.

A night or two before we reached New
York I was standing in the gloom, half
hidden by boat on the davits amid
ships, enjoying my vespertinal cigar in
the cool of evening. and between the
puffs caught from time to time stray
snatches of a conversation going on soft
ly in the twilight between Bernard and
Melissa. | had noticed of late, indeed,
that Bernard and Melissa walked much
on deck in the evening" together; but
this particular evening they walked long
and late, and their conversation seemed
to meGf / might judge by fragments)
particularly confidential. The bits of it
caught were mostly, it is true, on Me-
hssa's part (when Bernard said anything

moonlight on the ocean,
At last Bernard paused just opposite
where stood Qor they didn't perceive
me), andsaid very earnestly, Look here.
Melissa, he had called her Melissa al
most from the first moment, and she
seemed to prefer it, it seemed so natural
Look here, Melissa, do you know
when you talk about things like that,
you make me feel so dreadfully ashamed
of myself"
"Why so, Mr.. Hancock Melissa
asked innocently.

best of them, | just blush, l tell you,
Melissa, for my own laziness."

grave little air, "if one had always been

''of ourselves" may often restrain what
is worst in us; but alas it always re-
strains what is best. There must al
ways be in the most perfect unions and
the best ordered lives some little fric-
ton which will once in a while find ex-
precision. The gentle protest with
which, if alone with your husband you
would disarm his fractiousness dies in
your throat because of the third per
son. The loving caress with which you
would close his lips and make him
ashamed of himself is as impossible to
you as if you were paralyzed.
If misunderstood, pride will not let
you explain, and you retort indignant
ly, or at best keep silent with an ach-
ing heart, and in time you grow to
hate that third person, who may be an
angel of light, but who is none the less
eating holes in your marriage garment
1t may not be possible without neglect
ing sacred duty to have your house
entirely to yourself, but l charge you,
as you value your mutual love and
