But Themselves.
81 am not at all surprised" said a
bright woman, that some men find
other women more attractive than their
wives. In this age of progress and
newspapers women who do not live up
to the times must expect to be eclipsed
by those who do. The Hannah Jane
theory set forth in Carleton's poem is
exploded
The occasion for my disgust is that
twice within the past week have met
wives who did not care for the frivoli-
ties of life, and whose husbands did
not blame for casting Sleeps eyes at
more attractive women. The first wom-
an came into the dining-room Of hotel
in western city. She evidently
boarded at the place, and it was a
really good hotel. Every other person
in the dining-room was well dressed.
Her husband was well dressed. She
actually wore wrapper, one such as
is sold in the stores at ninety-cirht
cents apiece. 1t was of a duh peacock
green color, with yellow rings in it,
and intensified her sallowncss. Her
skin and hair hal a neglected look. the
latter brushed back SO tightly that two
thin places near her temples were
plainly visible. Her whole appearance
was of the don't care order The
sooner she drops away from this mum
dane sphere the better it will he for
the husband, whose eyes wandered
often TO the tables where sat other
women, who were fixed up"
The other case was that of the pres
ident of a great trades union, with
whom an interview was necessary.
His home was sought towards evening.
1t was neat brick house, the front
closely shut up, and it actually became
a necessity for the correspondent to at
tack the kitchen door before she found
anyone. This anyone proved to be the
wife of the man, II young, black-eycd
woman, with u neglected child clinging
to her dress. She was, by all appear
ances, born slattcrn. The interview
was short and not interesting The
husband was sought in the Office of the
trades union of which he was chief Of
ficcr. He was grand surprise, as he
was a man, not only of Drawn and
brain, but remarkably well dressed and
thoroughly intelligent. He seemed
rather suspicious, but thawcd easily
under genial influences. The truth in

got home until midnight. l did not

went home. | don't think | would have

Long Chains Popular Again.

The fancy for wearing iewelry is
growing apace, and long watch chains
are becoming popular again. If the
lovely jeweled ones are beyond the limit
of price, then the old-fashioned gold
ones which have been in oblivion for
years may be brought out for duty. 1t
is not at all necessary that there
should be watch at the end of the
chain, for the utility element is a
minor consideration. brooch fas.

just as he had done this the outer
door of the room opened and | stepped
hastily toward it. Bertha stood tn ere,
quiet, pale, beautiful.

back the wrappings and exposed the

"Iool1, l said again, this man

But poor Bertha Voisdene saw only
the face of him whom she had learned
to love, and the eyes, now wide and
staring, that had charmed her heart

fell fainting across the body of her

The Old Beau paused, while l hastily
swallowed a glass of something warm
to still that creepy feeling. Then my
friend asked me, as usual:
"Do you want the end of the story?"

her husband with a bouncing pair Of
twins. This fact of itself is not ''out
of the ordinary" but when it is known
that the lady was siXty-three years Of
age at that time, and the husband over
seventy, it becomes an item worthy of
