aIso IN action. He meditated a few mo-

1t was duh morning at the boarding
mousse The men had gone, says the New
York World. and the married ladies had
drifted as usual to the third floor, back.
Tor their matutinal meal of gossip. AS
usual, also, the chief topics were the
shortcomings of the landlady and the alb
solutely idiocy of their respective hus-
bands as illustrated by 1.-The latest" in
each case.
Mrs. W. really seemed to have a grIev-
ance-that is, If her tale were mortlsed to
facts, which her tales seldom were. She
exclaimed at the end of her narration:
well. I never did know why l married
Mr.. w, and the mystery deepens every
year 1 live"
Then the other women felt called upon
to belittle their own love stories, to ridi-
cule courtship and marriage Shrewd
sidelong glances seemed to indicate that
much of the banter was suspected of be-
ing the truth
AT last Mrs. D., the popular hostess of
the third floor, back" said: well, girls,
l married for love and got it,"
There was a hush, and Mrs. d. saw a
culver around the mouth of Mrs f., who
had married for love and hadn't got it,
Yet Mrs F. was the only woman in that
room who had not ridiculed the man she
had solemnly pledged TO honor"

The raison d'etre of this seemingly ex-

longer remain an unimportant factor in
the heated seasons, to be slipped on under
a blazer or Figaro jacket. They consti-
tute the significant item of ones outdoor
wardrobe. They are permissible every
where, from the roof garden at night to
a morning luncheon. They are worn with
outside covering, and should therefore
be perfect in cut and correct in style.

A child incident related in the Meta
physical Magazine has a suggestive moral.
1t was told by mother whose daughter
of 5 years told a falsehood. She said
to the child: What pity, for this makes
a dark spot on yourself" Hearing this,
the child began to cry but, my dear.

you speak the exact truth the dark spot
will go away" This conforted the child
