Mr. Hudson had come home. Mrs.
Hudson is not as effusiye as Mrs.

eat his supper in peace. After supper
she leaned back in her rocker and be-
gan:
John" she said, John, I believe it
will be better if in the future we do
not associate too much with those
Browns down stairs"
But, my dear"
Now, John, never mind. You don't
happen to be posted the way I am. I've
learned something. / have the best of

know that Mr.. Brown drinks, and Mrs.
Brown-well, I've always known that
