A QUARREL


She was busy taking a photograph
from it's frame when her dearest friend

again. / see," remarked the visitor;
what was it about this timer"
Il don't know what you mean by this
time but l have quarreled with him,
and I'll never speak to him again as
long as I live!"
But what was it about? r.
Il can't exactly tell you; it was all so
sudden. But what right had he. I'd
like to know, to say that l talked too
much?"
"Oh, pshaw, 1 don't believe he ever
said anything so rude as that"
We'll, he said most Of us talk great
deal too much'-and he looked straight
at me as he said it,"
"Oh, nonsense; perhaps he meant
Yes; perhaps he was referring to the

Nov. look here, Annabelle, you know
as we'll as 1 do that Addison Brown
smith is as good natured as possible,
and
Indeed? Well, wish you could have
seen him yesterday afternoon and
Il did. l met him just after he had
left you. and he"--
'Humph. l thought he was in great
haste to get Off If l had known that
he had an appointment with you should
not have kept him so long"
He had no appointment with me,
goosie I happened to meet him walk
ing along in the rain without an UNI
brella and l offered him half of mine,
that was ALL"
without an umbrella was he? Well,
it was his own fault if he was. You see
we were coming from Janie's luncheon
when we Quarreled, and l stopped right
in the middle of the street and told him
to leave me. | was as amiable as a
lamb, but once really angry l am reso-
lutte. I'd have given him his ring then
and there, but my glove was wet and
wouldn't come off. so told him would
send it by messenger"
1T seems to me that that ring must
have doubled its original cost in messen-
gers fees by now"
THAT just shows how he treats me-
No other girl would endure being obliged
to break with a man as often as that.
He hadn't gone six steps before | was
sorry | hadn't at least let him fetch me
home-I needn't have spoken to him or
the way, you know-for | knew that all
be ruined. Just them i heard hasty
footsteps behind mel"
MY gracious, and it was growing dark
tool"
Yes, but it was Addison; he had re-
membered thai l had no umbrella and
brought me his. l wanted to refuse il
with scorn, then I thought of the unpaid
bill for my hat and relented. l told him
that l would return the umbrella with
the ring. l had not gone half blocl,
before"---
He caught up with you again?'
mo, he didn't. / met Maude, Just re-
turned from Europe, and what do you
think she said?'
THAT your hat was old d-fashioned?"
mo. She cried, Why, l didn't know
that you and Addison were married?'
But Annabelle, l don't see''---
Neither did l. l asked her what on
earth made her think such thing"
She replied that the evidence of her
own eyes was sufficient
''She had seen you quarreling, then?"
NO. she hadn't. But there on the
very umbrella I was carrying was
painted. in large, white letters, "A.
Brownsmith!' Did you ever hear of such
mean trick in your whole ife ard |
just know he did 1t on purpose!"
