"I will tell you why L wouldn't
go into the refreshment room and
have a cup of coffee with you while
we were waiting for tho train. L
didn't like the way you asked me.
Not half an hour ago you said to
Mr.. Jones: Como, lots get cigar
and away you won't, holding his
arm and not giving him chance to
decline. When we mot MIR. Robin
son on our way to luncheon you
said: Just in time, John; como and
tako lunch with us And then, to.
night, when wo found ho train an
hour lato, you looked at your
watch, turned to me, and said in a
questioning way: Would you like a
cup of coffee2 And L didn't want
it; 1 was tired and n littlo hungry,
but L would havo tainted before |
would have accepted such an invi.
tafion. And you won't away and
had whatever you did have by
yourself, and didn't enjoy it very
much. In offoct you said to me: III
you want cup of coffee-if you
really want it-1 will buy it for
yon.' You arc the best husband in
tho world, but you do rs noarly all
tho best husbands in tho world do.
Why dc you men seem to dole
things out to your wivos when you
fairly throw them TO the mon you
know? Why don't you invite me
as heartily as you do invite monT
Why don't you say Como, lots get
littlo coffee and something, and
tako mo at onoo with you? You
don't cay to man: would you
like mo to go and buy you cigar2'
Thon why do you always issue
your little invitations to treat in
that way to me? Indeed, If mon
would only act towards their wives
as heartily, cordially, frankly oe
they do towards the men whom
they meet, they would find cheerier
companions at homo than they
could at the public resorts"
