THE ODD TRICK.
''Luoilei''

"Speak to you? I asked you three
times to give me another cup of coffee. "
"Did you, dear? I'm SO sorry" and
Mrs. CORN extended slim white hand
for the coffee cup
'May ask what so engrossed your
thoughts?'' inquired her husband, lit
tie irritably.
Lucille smiled. ooh, YOU II only laugh
at me if tell you"
''Never mind. What was it?" reiter-
ated her husband, little Modified.
CT was thinking Of some lovely
Turkish embroidery they showed me at
Liberty's yesterday, and''-
"My dear girl, what can you possibly
do with Turkish embroidery" inter-
rupted Mr.. CORN impatiently.
"Well, do you know that's what I've
been wondering ever since. and I've
just discovered'-
"But''-
eyes, continued Lucille, regardless
of the impertinent monosyllable, 81
think it would look perfectly lovely to
trim tea gown. 1t could outline sort
of crepe de chine, you know. and un-
derneath"-
''Tut, tut! don't want you decked
out like houri in a harem.'
"Gilbert!''
81 don't like all these new tangled
things women get up in to look like fig
ures on japanese FAM
''But, my dear husband, there's moth
ing Japanese about Turkish embroid-
eryP' exclaimed Lucille as she pushed
back her chair from the breakfast table.
"Never mind; don't like it. Be-
sides you are really too extravagant,
Lucille cannot see the necessity for
all these wonderful toilets.
"My dear Gilbert, don't talk about
things you don't understand.
And, gathering up the small pile of
letters that were beside her plate, Mrs.
CORN made her way to the door.
ooh, by the way" said her husband,
little hesitatingly, "do you very much
mind giving up the Claytons' ball to-
night?'
"Giving up their ball! Why, in the
name Of all that's reasonable, should I
do that?''
because ask you"
Mrs. CORN shrugged her shoulders in
silence
"You will write to excuse yourself?''
Certainly not. Why, I've got a per-
feot dream of a gown to wear, and
mean to thoroughly enjoy myself"
''That is to say you intend to make
yourself conspicuous by your fiirtations,
as usual"
Lucille laughed.
ST will not allow it. You shall not
go on in this ridiculous fashion,
"My dear Gilbert, don't you think
that it is you who are ridiculous just
now? You silly fellow" she continued,
drawing near him, "what does it matter
to you if half the men in the room are
In love with me when you know that
I'm not in love with them? There, don't
talk nonsense, and be off to your ride"
''Why don't you come, too?" asked
her husband, half Modified again.
"I-oh, mol Couldn't possibly spare
the time, dear. Heaps Of things to do
and letters to writel Goodby for the
present.
And with laughing farewell she
tripped out Of the room.
The smiles, however, vanished as she
