by "A tremendous noise IN the wardrobe. IL

ceased. then returned. The woman jumped
up, lighted the gas, and made a thorough
search both OF the wardrobe and the room.
There was nothing so far as the evidence of
the senses went which could account for the
racket. The woman put OUT the light and
went back to bed. The noise was not re-
peatcd.
Six months afterward, however. the
woman was in San Francisco, and for the
first time in her life, and solely out OF Gu
riosity, she attended a S~piritualistic meet
ing. Almost Immediately the medium. a
perfect stranger, turned to her and said

Not h Way Husbands Laugh When

A woman of fashion in a checked dress
and a great dahlia-colored velvet hat, ac-
eompanied by a man in modish garments,
was tripping along Fifth avenue. She was
chatting with marked animation. and be
was laughing fiatteringly. The attention of
the passers-by was attracted by the happy
couple.
Behind the pair CHANGED to walk a lassie-
the one yet living at home with mamma
and an older woman, a friend of mamma
The lassie spied the mondaine in checks and
dahlia velvet on ahead and puckereG her
brow, saying: ooh. ] know that woman
have seen her often at Newport-she is
dreadiully .rich-now | remember, she is
Mrs. Morris Blankly."
The friend of mamma was interested. She
asked:
And is the attentive man with Mrs.
Blankly her husband?'
The lassie shrugged her shoulders and
scorned the very idea.
Ridiculous, she replied. "You dear. old
fashioned thing, don't you know that
women's husbands never laugh in that
good-natured way when they ere with their
wives."-N. Y. Press.
