Had to Give IL Up.
Young Mr.. and Mrs. Newlywed were
going to have what Mrs. Newlywed had
said would be such q dear, delightful
evening together" He was going to
read aloud to his little wifey," and it
was going to DO an evening Of instruc-
ton as we'll rs Of delight, for they were
going to take up something along the
line Of current events, "for I don't
want to be O little ignoramus, dearest"
she had said. II want to know all
about everything that interests you,
George. If wives would only take more
interest in topics Of the day so that they
could discuss them intelligently with
their husbands, then their husbands
would be glad to stay at home evenings
instead Of running of to the club. So
you just read anything that interests
you, George, dear, and I'll listen and
go on trimming this little bonnet and

well, supposing we begin with this
admirable article on the present politi.
cal situation in France. I'm greatly in.

$50 am I, then. Just wait until I
find a bit Of green velvet that I want.
Now 60 on about France. l hope that
there's lots about Paris In II. The dream
Of my life is to see Paris and''-
eyes, dear, but let us go ON with the
reading. You remember that when Car.
not was assassinated he was succeeded
by Casimir-P erier, and that he resigned
q few weeks ago and"-
What did he resign for? I should
think it'd be just lovely to be president
Of France and live in Paris. Would you
put this little green aigret or this
white tip OF this bonnet If you were
me, George?"
"I'm sure I don't know which would
look better. You see that when Casimir.
Perier resigned he was succeeded by
Mr.. Faure."
What o funny namei Aren't those
French names funny anyhow? And yet
some Of them are real musical names
when they are pronounced right. l he.
lieve I'll decide on the aigret. Go on,
dear"
WELL, you know that the cause of
tho present crisis is largely due to the
popular suspicion Of the integrity of
many Of the leaders who have long boon
in power, and that
"There! That aigret looks real
sweet after all, doesn't it? What did
you say that all this fuss in France was
about? Why can't countries get along
without 30 much fussing?"
well, 1t seems that they cannot.
You know about the French Panama
schemes?"
Something about q canal somewhere
and somebody stole q lot Of money,
didn't they? So that's what they're
fussing about? I wonder how this Jet
buckle would look on this little bow.
Jet is so fashionable now. I'll just pin
it on and step to tho glass to see how it
looks. III be right back, and you can
go right on about that Forray or what
ever his name is. Who was it shot him?''
He wasn't shot. 1t was Carnot who
was a~ssassinated."
What forI Seems to me I read that
there was q woman ut the bottom Of it,
and l dare say there was. It's dreadful
how little self respect some women
have. don't believe that I'll use tho
buckle after all. Oh, dear! There goes
my thread on the floor. Will you get it
for me, dear? I--why, George, what
did you slam the magazine down like
that for:"
"Simply because I'm sick Of trying to
make French politics and American
millinery assimilate, and p

Eyes, you were"
IL was, too. and IL think you are
just-just horrid, SO 1 do. l hate your
old French politics il it's going to es-
TRANCE us like this. I'm going right
up stairs if you can't treat me kindly.
You don't love me one bit if you prefer
old French politics to my happiness.
