HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES.

veranda when Mrs. Stansbury comes
out of the house.)
Mrs. Stansbury-Oh, you're here, are
you?
Mr.. Stansbury-Yes, my dear.
Mrs. Sim sorry you didn't let me
know you were coming home at this
time. I could have ordered dinner at
six.
Mr.. S.-That's all right I'm in no
hurry.
Mrs. 81 didn't dare to make it six

Mr.. S.-Six- thirty suits me always, if
it doesn't make it too late for you
Mrs. 81 don't suppose my wishes
one way or another make much differ
ence. We can't have dinner until you
get here.
Mr.. Swell, maybe I could be here
at six every day. I rather supposed
that you preferred six-thirty during the
summer. If you say SO, We'll make it
six hereafter.
Mrs. Sim sure Mr.. Stansbury, that
I'm not going to say when you shall be
at home. If you wish to have dinner
at six-thirty then we will have it at
sixthirty. I'm not going to say six
o'clock and then have you hurrying to
get home every day. If the present ar
rangement pleases you, don't see that
any of the rest of us have any right to
object.
Mr.. S.-Would it be pIeasanter for
you and the children to have it at six?
Mrs. S.-My goodness. Mr.. Stansbury,
you seem to think that I'm finding fault
with your way of running things. l
am not You evidently prefer having
dinner at six-thirty. Very well, let it
be six-thirty. Let's not argue about it
any more.
Mr. S-AlI right, all right. Anything
to keep peace in the family.
Mrs. S.-What do you mean by that?
Was I opposing you?
Mr.. S.-No, not at all.
Mrs. Swell, Mr.. Stansbury, do
ever find fault with any of your ar
rangements?
Mr.. S.-No, it's all right. I was about
to remark that you look very charming
IN your new QTeSS.
Mrs. S.-New! The idea!
Mr.. S.-Why, isn't it new?
Mrs S.-The waist is new, but the
skirts as old as the hills.
Mr.. 81 knew there was something
new.
Mrs. Sim surprised that you no.
ticed it at all. Usually you don't pay
very much attention to what I'm wear
ing.
Mr.. 81 always notice that your
costumes are becoming, my dear.
Mrs. S.-Yes, suppose you do. This
is another of your days to be sarcastic,
isn't it?
Mr. S.-But your costumes are becom-

will you?
Mrs. 81 don't know whether they're
becoming or not. / try to keep my

STEPHEN j. FIELD.
THE COURTS REPLY.
Supreme Court of the United States,
Washington, October 18th.
Dear Brother Field: We are pro-
foundly moved by the letter in which
you announce to us your retirement
from the bench. The termination of
judicial career of such length and dis
tinction cannot fail to inspire among
all your countrymen, and indeed, wher-
ever the realm of Jurisprudence eX-
tends, a keen sense of loss, which to
your colleagues is a personal bereave-
ment. For the intimacy necessarily
incident to the conduct of work so
constant, so eXacting and of such vital
Importance as ours, inevitably draws
US together by ties of the closest char
acter, which cannot be dissolved with
out emotions of deep sadness and re-
gret. We feel that our parting involves
not simply the deprivation of the as
sistance afforded by your learning, your
vast experience, and your earnestness
in advocacy of your convictions, but
the severance of these relations which
have contributed so much to tighten
the hardest labors of the road.
This is not the time or place to
dwell upon the reputation you have
achieved as a jurist. The record is
made up and may safely be committed
to the judgment of posterity. But we
cannot part with an active member of
the court without fervent expressions
of the hope that you may be spared
for many years to enjoy the repose you
have so thoroughly earned and the
conmendation bestowed upon good and
faithful service.
we are, dear brother. your affections
ate brethren. Signed Melville w.
