to hotel.
''Now, my DEAR" said Mr.. Medli.
colt, "we will go out and look for a
little home | have list here that IN
agent sent me.
Mrs. Medlicott came and looked
over his shoulder, sitting on the arm
of his chair, while he put his arms
caressingly around her waist.
''But, she pursed up her pretty
red mouth, "all these places are ever
so far down town"
"Down town? Do you call Fifty
Ninth street down down? There are
only one or two down town. This
one on Gramercy Park, and another
on Irving Place
They're all below the Park. "
"Well, where do want to live?"
"Why, up by my old friends; up in
upper New York"
Mr.. Medlicott laughed.
"My dear child, nobody would ever
come up there to see us. g"
"Wouldn't they?' There was q
compression of his wifes lips which
Mr.. Medlicott did not see. 81 have
some friends who would not find ii
necessary to come up" she went on.
They live there"
When they went out to walk, Mr.
! Medlicott enticed her into furnished
apartment which was n little gem in
its way. The price was little more
! than Mr.. Medlicott cared to pay, but
he had young wife to introduce to
his old friends, and this apartment
was in a most desirable neighborhood,
very near the club. and the dining
room was large and pleasant for fiat.
Mr.. Medlicott anticipated giving din
ners. Dinner giving was very expen-
sive Mt the club, but with clever wife
who had been brought up in domestic
fashion it would be different
Mr.. Medlicott week later invited
Mr.. Hart and the best man at his wed
ding to dinner. He announced the
invitation to his wife, and made one
or two suggestions as to the menu.
When the evening of the dinner ar
rived, he had little fire i'll the draw
ing room, and when the bell rang,
stood before the CRATE feeling like a
lord Mt home i'll his own house
But there was not the entry of two
quiet, well bred gentlemen instead
of this the shrill voices of women
Presently Mrs. Medlicott ushered in
Miss Grant and a friend of hers, shy
looking girl.
Mr. Medlicott was surprised 81
thought" his wife said. "that we had
better have some ladies'.
Mr. Medlicott said nothing. He
went out into the dining room to look
Mt the table, and on into the kitchen
They had very satisfactory cook, but
Mr.. Medlicott shuddered when he saw
what he had been about to ask Hart
and Elliot to sit down to. He had
always known how to- order n dinner,
and he ordered one now-from the
restaurant around the corner.
II know the taste of men better
than you do, my dear" he said to his
wife. Il took the liberty of changing
some of your arrangements.
Mrs. Medlicott was perfectly calm
and well bred, and looked delightfully."-
pretty in pink dinner gown which
her husband had insisted upon order
lug for her, although she said il was
useless. She had gowns.
Miss Grant talked great deal, but
the one or two httlo tales Hart tried
to tell seemed TO fall flat. The con
Versation finally settled between the
three ladies. They discussed the re-
cent death of noted woman reformer,
aud her published opinion upon mar
riage The men looked respectful,
but not very hilarious.
Mr., Medlieott made up his mind that
IL wouldn't de 10 stop with that dinner.
Ii must be lost IN II series. He couldn't I
have il going about the clubs that lac
kept such a menagc as this So in "A
few days he asked half dozen friends
in. aud he and Mrs Mcdlieott made
out the menu together, or rather he
made IL out, and Mrs Mcdleott wrote
u down
II wouldnt er ask anybody else
n we're YOU.
II must entertain nay friends, Mrs
Medhcutt ,aitl
"Oh, rcrtaiuly Let us have any
hady yap like nu Tuesday We might
make out the meu, for that dinner
NOW
