LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE.
Mr. Newlywed's Dress Suit Was Not Ex-
actly In the Right Condition.
Mr.. Robert Newlywed turned up at
his Office one morning last week with q
grieved expression, indicating very
plainly that he could tell tale Of woe
if he were urged. Only two months be-
fore he had run the gantlet Of rice and
old slippers, and since that event life
had been developing for him in unex-
peoted ways
None Of your boarding houses for
me-" said Mr.. Newlywed. 'Of course
my wife doesn't know anything about
housekeeping, but she will learn by
mistakes, and have already good
cook in view"
That was before the old slippers and
rice. Judging from Mr.. Newlywed's
fragmentary remarks on life in a fiat,
Mrs. Newlywed has been learning some
things in just the way Robert expected
she would. Mr.. Newlywed' s grieved ex-
preston occasionally is understood by
his friends to announce an acquisition
of knowledge on the part of Mrs. New
lywed. He told of the latest experience
Of this kind after a reasonable amount
Of sympathetic urging.
Mrs. Robert has her own ideas of
good form. She not only objects to her
misunderstanding home bundles of any
kind, but she further believes that her
servants should not be seen carrying
any of the results of a mornings mar
keting into the rather aristocratic apart
ment house in which she lives.
Il Think" she said not long ago,
'"that it is positively vulgar-no other
word fits it-for ones servants to lug
home a package of steak or whatever
the marketman has neglected to deliver.
There are many little ways in which
such displays of ones household econ
omy or extravagance may be avoided,
you know.
Mrs. Newlywed had an opportunity
to test her theory one Monday evening
When she returned after some calls in
the afternoon, she found that her orders
for dinner had not been delivered. She
sent Mary out to get them. She told
Mr.. Newlywed that none of the other
servants in the house had even suspect
ed that her servant had brought in the
dinner at a late hour, and Mr. Newly
we'd asked no questions. The next aft
sernoon the Newlyweds went up to
Poughkeepsie to dine with old friends,
and it was the day following that New
lywed's grieved expression appeared at
the Office.
':Of course. - he said, ''she won't do
this same thing again, for it was very
embarrassing. Our host thought it was
funny, and SO it was, real funny-ha,
iha-but very embarrassing
More sympathy for Mr.. Newlywed,
mixed with judicious praise of Mrs.
Newlywed, provoked the tale.

and made quick work of it.
