MT. Newlywcd's Dress Suit Was Not Ex-
 actly In the Right Condition.
 MT. Robert Newlywed turned up at his office ono morning last week with grioved expression, indicating very plainly that he could tell a tale of woe If he were urged. Only two months be- fore he had run tho Gantlet of rice and old slippers, and since that event life had been developing for him in unex- pocted ways.
 "None of yorr boarding houses for me, !" said Mir. Ncwlywvd. "Of course my wifo do,Su't know anything about housekeeping, but sho will learn by mistakes, and l havo already n good cook in view.
 That was before the old slippers and rice. Judging from Mir. Newlywed's fragmentary remarks on lifo ill fiat, Mrs. Newlywed has been learning some things in just the way Robert expected she would. Mir. Newlywed's grieved ex- pressiou 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. Sho not only objects to her husband carrying homo bundles of any kind. but sho further believes that her servants should not bo seen carrying any of tho results of mornings mar, keting into tho rather aristocratic apart mcnt house in which she lives, II think, sho said not long ago, that it is positively vulgar-nO other word fits it-fur ones servants to lug homo package of steak ar whatever tho markctman has neglected to deliver. Thcro arc many little ways in which such displays of un"'S household econ umy or CNtravagamco may bo avoided, you know.
 Mrs. NcwlywCd had an opportunity to test her theory ono Monday evening | When sho returned after soma calls in the afternoon, Sho fuunl that her orders for dinner had not been delivered. She sent Mary out tu get them. She told Mir. Nowlywvd that nouu of tho other servants in tho house had even suspect cd that her servant had brought in the dinner at a latu hour. and Mir Newly wed asked no questions. Tho noNt aft ernoOn tho Ncwlywctls went up to Poughkccpsio to dino with old friends, and it was tho day following that New lywCd's grioved expression appeared at the office.
 "Of coursc," he said, "she won't dc this sano thing again, for it was very embarrassing. Our host thought it was funny, and so it was real funny-ha, ha-but very embarrassing.
 Moro sympathy for MT. Newlywed, mixed with judicious praise of Mrs. Newlywed, provoked tho tale.
 II had just time, " said Mir Newly wed, lon Tuesday to fire my evening clothes and sulhe things, you know, into a leather dress suit caso and run for my train. My wife went on m early train. Whom I reached tho house il PouShkcepSic, l madu rapid change and was dressed just on the minute that dinner Was announced l thought thai in an apartment We were nut Su con stantly reminded of the presence uf ; kitchen as we were in this house. My wife began to look embarrassed five minutes after I entered tho room, anC so did tho hostess and tho other guests Say, I'm not going into the details O this thing. It wasn't explained unti , my wifo suddenly asked:
 s "'Robert, you never packed you ' things ill that leather box, did you:' $ "'That's just what did do, said I and made quick work of it. II thought my wifo was going t faint. Then sho became hystorical. an,
 ill that condition she explained. O course it was funny, you know, but em ' barrassing. Mary had been using Tn. dress suit case to smuggle in the market ing. Mrs. Nowlywed and arc fond O fish, you know. It was n clever idea now, wasn't it? But embarrassing very. 1 finished that dinner in my trav , cling suit Nothing like learning b
