"pll get divorce, that's what I'll
do" said Mrs. Hillward, as she
slammed the door and scudded for
her mothers house.
Mr.. Hillward had been In the habit
or scolding her when che failed to act
in accordance with his notions. He
didn't mean to be cruel, but he came
OF pickering, scolding family,
Eyes, dear; he Is BRUTE" said Mrs.
Hillwards mother, "if your father had
treated me so 1 would have left him
in mil u e. Only brute can act so
toward a lady" .
Don't put mischief in her head, !"
said the father. Better tell her to go
back and learn to control her own
tongue. There Is GENERALLY blame
on both sides of q domestic quarrel:'
"Shut right up, 'eXclailnednis wife.
"You are her father, and ought to go
and horsewhip the brute instead OF
advising her to 90 back"
"I'll never 60 bach, L don't care who
says ought. L never was scolded at
home, and L don't propose to begin
now" sobbed Mrs. Hillward.
That's right dear: you have the
spirit of your mother. Your father
never was fit to raise children. fit

switched you many time.
"Yes, and 1 would have taken the
tantrums out of her too"
The lawyer says you havn'ts sufficient
grounds of divorce" said her mother.
He says you left the house in q mad
fit aid have refused to 60 back.
Then I'll give him cause for divorce
Two of my old beax have called to
express sympathy for my forlorn con-
ditiOn and advised me never to give
in 10 Mr.. HiIlward. L can easily get
up filtration with them that will
make him so sick that he'll go and get
q divorce from me for desertion."
That's good idea, observed the
mother thou ghtfully."
Well, you'll not cary on q f1irta-
ton from my house, said the father.
Fool Erlen Dis cOunseled her to get
rid OF the brute that called her wife.
she knew the proper thing was to go
back home and make itup, and would
have done so had her mother advised
her TO do so Society on the hill was
busy discussing the matter. and the
more ii was talkeu about the blacker
became The character of MIR. and Mrs,
Hillward, and as is usually the case
the woman got he worst of it.
Six months after the unceremonious
separation a bow of white Grape on
the dour OF the Hillward mansion
announced to the public the death of
their youngest child. it also announ-
ced the END of the separation of the
parents and the beginning Of a period
of real domestic happiness.
Not far,,irom the Hillward mansion
lives q miserable family. The hus-
band aid wife do not fight, and their
children are not aW are that is q love-
less hom The wife was a belle and
the husband beau. He courted her
because she was 3 social favorite, and
she was considered the greatest catch
in town.
Seven years have passed, and they
were seven unhappy years to both of
them. They had married in haste,
ana were philosophic enough to accept
the results without making public
their misery. They are two we'll bred
to fig htan quarrel, and respect each
other too highly to tattle and talk
out of school.
May be something will yet happen
to bring them together in heart as
well as in name.
