SihIleu knowingly across the table at each

simultaneously:
Tell me how you ever induced your
husband to bring you?"
him conner"
20, I hadn't much trouble this time"
modestly replied the woman in green
and black. You know my husband al
ways reads his paper at the breakfast
table
of course, but what on earth"
HAD that 70 do with it? A great deal.
GU see, he always answers MINI to
anything 1 say, so I just determined to
turn that habit to account The morning
that this invitation came I tested him
with several random remarks, and, find
ing him absorbed, said: BY the way,
GEAR, here is an invitation to dine with
Marie on the 18TH I suppose we accept?'
M nm, was the reply, and I said no
more"
"Oh, well, but"
Yes, know; but made all my prepa-
rations, and when this evening came 1
laid all his things ready When he came
nome he was thunderstruck and, though
L reminded him that he had told me to
accept, he declared that he knew nothing
about it, and fatty refused to CO. Then
L got my Calling gun in position I'm so
sorry, DEAR 1 said, but as 1 thought we
were going out 1 allowed the cook to
spend the evening with her mother, and
there isn't a thing to eat in the house.
lie muttered something about a restau-
rant, but ended by making his toilet; and
here we are" she added triumphantly.
How awfully bright of you and how
nice you are looking II that scheme
isn't copyrighted 1 might try it myself
some time"
Goodness, no; use it if you like It will
be perfectly safe-our husbands don't be-
long to the same club. But you haven't
told me yet how you managed to come"
Very true. 1 had a rather hard time of
TIA second wife always does; you see,
her husband is versed in the ordinary
feminine wiles, and she must always be
| original. l tried coaxing, tears threats
everything, for mamma had brought me
this gown from Paris and I was deter
mined to show 1t if it landed me in the
| divorce court"
"Of course you were. Sleeves like that
! are worth it"
Yes. 1 took twenty-four hours to think
it over, then an idea occurred to me. You
! know Tom is awfully sensitive in regard
| to the difference in our ages, so the next
! day allowed him to find me in a food of
| tears. Naturally he demanded to know
the cause. At first 1 refused to tell, but
finally sobbed out that it was because
people were saying such cruel things of
me. What things? He was furious. They
| they say that I'm ashamed to be seen
! anywhere with you because you are SO
! old! And it isn't true at alln He was
| was quiet for minute or two. Then in a
! queer voice, he said: BY the way, you
were speaking of an invitation to dine
with the Swellstyles yesterday, weren't
! you? Well, l find that / can manage to
i break the business engagement l had for
that evening, SO you had better accept "
so you merely did as you were bid. after

| Exactly Mercy! do look at Clara over
there. She is actually wearing her we'd
ding dress again!"
In answer to the question: "Does the
new woman read a different class of books
from her predecessor thoughtful librari-
ans tell us that she does. No one is to
understand from this that every woman
who goes into a library eschews the ro-
mantle and new, but the surprising fact is
that so many really seek for the deepest
works on political subjects. Librarians
and their assistants were at first amused
when asked by a tiny blonde with big
sleeves for a book upon some weighty sub
ject and winked at each other while they
busted off the book.
But after one, two and three years
passed and the demand remained they
ceased to wink at the fad" and the books
on sociology and political science were
moved from the top gallery of the men s
side down to the low shelves of the

are eagerly sought for by women, and
anything that relates to the tariff is es-

keepers of books. the American woman,

is said to have a decidedly warm spot in
her aristocratic heart for our women.
Next to being rich oneself it warns the
