II met your husband looking rather-er
sad this morning." observed the girl In
the tailor made gown. "IIe did not seem
to see me, but then he has not been mar
ried long enough to cease comparing the
rest Of US with you, to our disadvantage,
SO l was not greatly surprised. BY and
by he will know
THAT he must not expect to find my
equal? Very true" said the bride. "Still,
it Is handsome of you to say so, l am
sure"
II didn't quite say that, dear. What l
meant to say was that he will know too
much Of feminine human nature before
long to expect perfection. Was he i'll to-
day7"

horrid policeman speak to him, did your"
Mercy, no! What on earth put that
into your head2 He hasn't killed any
body, has hep
"He has not. He used to threaten to
shoot every man that-er-was in love
with me, but
But, then, he was always an magma
tive person. Yes, know. He once told
me that you were beauty"
''That is nothing to what he has told

"Need assistance! MINI! 1t wasn't that,
however. We are to dine there tomor-
row, and unless Henry fees better in the
interval l shall defer my headache for
another time. No; we had nothing spe.
cial on hand, so we just went out for
little fresh air. Now, Henry says If l

pocketbook In my hand"
"Humph! He might know that a wo-
man who carried her money in her pock-
ct like man would be so unfeminine
that she would be actually dangerous"

a man after all, dear. OF course he Is the
best of his sex, but even then he"-

will. Go on. Did you see an adorab BILE

SO wedged in that could hardly tell my

who stood next me-"
''And Henry behaved as if It was all
your fault? see."
"He did not. He was in the gayest Of
humors when we got out. lie acted as
he always does when he thinks he has a
joke on me-"
"Oh, we'll, why not just laugh when he
does? He will explain the joke if you
seem not to understand it, and that is
worse than
1T is. He said nothing until we got
