sons took ride down the river after
dinner. They got back about in the
neighborhood of ten O'Clock. The
light in the basement dining-room at
tracted them, and they entered the
house that way.
Nora, under the iiaring light Of the
three gas jets, was seated at the
dining-room table. In front of her
was half-filled black pint bottle,
with the label of the Jobson's grocery
on 1T; squeezed lemons, pitcher of
Ice water, half-eonsumed can of
sardines and loaf of Vienna bread,
from which most of the crust had
been torn. Nora's hair was down,
and her eyes were glazed.
Nora's terms of reproach were not
visited upon the head of Mrs. Jobson.
She seemed to be quite convinced of
the fact that Mrs. Jobson was a per-
feet little lady, and a whole lot too
good for Mr.. Jobson, with reference
to whom Nora exhausted the whole
vocabulary of vituperation and scorn.
She adverted critically to Mr.. Job
son'from every possible point of view
physical, mental. financial; and
when she finally seized rolhng-pin
and 'defied MT. Jobson and the whole
universe combined to lay q finger ON
her. Mr.. Jobson felt that he'd got it
coming and going, both ends from
the middle.
Mrs. .Jobson got Nora on the New
York train, whittier she was sending
her to her relatives, with a months
wages and q ticket, on the following
morning. When Mrs. Jobson returned
to the Jobson household after per-
forming this duty she found Mr.. job
son standing very solemnly in the
front room.
swell, you have disposed of your
protege, presume?" Mr.. Jobson said
to Mrs. Jobson. "You have at length
got rid of that awful incubus that /
permitted you to fasten upon my
home, in conformity with my custom
airy indulgence of you in all of your
fads and caprices?"
Josephine is new the Jobsons' maid
of-all-work again, and every time she
serves a particularly good meal Mr..

eatables and those prepared by Mrs.

MAN WHO CALLS you Gown.


He has most annoying way; so quiet. yet
so grim
he listens all serenely to the things you're
telling him;
lie seems so interested ard so thorouehlv
impressed
That before you know what's happened
you are swelling out your chest
AND pilins up small fetions with mere
huency than art,
Because you think he's easy and. iraacine
you are smart.
And he bends his head to hear you and his
forehead shows no frown:
lie lets you tell your story out-and then
he calls you down.
1t makes him happy when you undertake
to fix date;
He quotes the books verbatim as he bland
ly sets you straight
And when you say: III bet you fifty dol
lars he viii let
His eyelids droop a little and remark: At
take the bet
And when you tell the story which in in
fancy you knew
he smiles and gives its origin and author
when you're through.
de politely brings cold water all your ar
rogance to drown
He's ciabolic terror, is this man who
calls you down.
SO, friends. If you should meet him. have
care and pass him by
Nor suffer him to fool you with~his soft
and kindly eye:
Nor heed the sweet expression of his guile
less. open face,
Nor listen to the cadence of his voices
soulful grace
He is lurking to ensnare you. for his only
JOY in life
Is TO cut your thread of vanity with satire
like a knife.
On come, my fellow-bluffers-let us drive
him from the town.
kor he makes our lives a burden. does this
man who calls you down.

few remarks of Depression. adj
dressed to neither of the Jobsons in
particular, she went to work to see
what could be made of the outfit.
The first meal she prepared was
breakfast, and she fried the steak

Mr.. Jobson's teeth instantly made
him aware of, although he waved it
aside lightly.
