envy you, Nellie.'
esYou envy nae! Why I thought
young married women were the hap
pssst women in the world. =
Don't fancy that, Nellie" said
Kate, "and ii you desire to be happy,
never think Of marrying. 2
az declare yon astonish met cried
Nellie "Why, when was your brides
matd you gave me the very reverse OF
CHAT advice, and that is exactly two
years ago next Wednesday,"
Kate burst into tears.
Nellie looked grave.
esWaen did all this trouble com
gnence7" she asked.
e@When2 don't eactly remember, =
said Kate. t'He began to show his
neglect by staying out late, and being
eross- Then he firts and makes com
marisons between my appearances
and that OF other ladies'
'eHe must be a very worthless Great
ARE said Nellie, quietly.
Giles 3 splendid man." said Kate
Indignantly. cts only his want Of
affection complain off,
Nellie took her friends hand
<<s any of this your fault?" she ask-
ed
ssMine? I'm sure better wife could
mot be found, said Kate. ooh, they
are all alikep'
Nellie looked at her friends dress
and hesttated. At last she said:
@You say Harry makes cenpari-
SONS between your appearance and
aasEEaast Of other people, she said. you
4kMoW perhaps you are one of those
women who alter with their dress. [
sTemesnb Der that you would never see
Harry without your hair dressed
carefully, and every pin in properly"
aaid Nellie. "Now' excuse me, but
you have breakfasted with your hair
tucked up with one pin, q rumpIed
robe, no collar, and slippers down ut
She heel. You look like a fright, and
xlve years older than I ever saw you,
e<0h he's used to that. said Kate.
s&NK can't bother to fix every morning"
Nellie put her hand on Kate's arm
s@There is no way of losing q hus-
bands admiration so certain as be-
Ding dowdy. You dress when you go
out and when you have company,
.and look like this in your husbands
presence. Why, ii we're married, my
morning robe would be my pride, and
n should even feel anxious to have be-
coming nightcaps."
Nellie said no more, but went away,
leaving Kate to reflect that there
might be two sides to the question
That night Harry found her trim
asid neat as ever in his counting days,
and his first question; t'Who is here?'
proved that Nellie was right In one
thing. And Kate answered: mo
body" in q rather conscious-stricken'
voice
It was plain that Harry was pleased;
and. after all, it was easy to dress
neatly always, but it was harder to
cake the Grst humble step. Kate did
tic, though, like a heroine. p
<Harry," she said, ''come home TO
lunch today, 1t shall be punctual. =
Harry kissed her.
seIf you'll promise me that Til
SOME he said; "but I'm greedy of
time. I'm alone IN the office, you
know
Where is your partner2'' asked
Kate.
e1He has been ill for six months, q
said Harry. 9Th tell you about it
some other time" And he flew to
catch the stage.
At noon he was home again. Kate
WAS tidy, the baby fresh in it's fresh
robes; lunch perfect. The old court
7Rg times seemed to have come hack
again in Harry's manner and Kate
was happy. But that night Harry
sgtaid out late again Kate walked
SSifne floor Indignantly.
Nellie may talk" she said, you
can't manage them. He may be any
where He doesn't care for me, that's
certain. =
But then the thought of Nellie's
words rushed into her mind again.
