A FABLE FOR WOMEN.
From Which They May Derive Sug. gestion as to the Mismanage-
 ment of Husbands.

There was once a woman who felt that her husband stayed out too late at night. She therefore devised a plan to cure him of this. Her plan was to rise early in order to insure his retiring early, writes Josephine Dashman, in Century.
 "Only in this way will he be able to get enough sleep," she said.
 Her husband, who usually endeavored to please her, rose without complaint at six o'clock, but continued to sthy out late. Per ceiving that her purpose was not accom- plished, the woman changed the hour to five o'clock.
 "The morning hours are the best for work" she said, "and l understand that the morning air possesses great virtues"
 Her husband objected, but rose at five, as she wished.
 Still he continued to come in late Then the woman fixed the hour at 4:30.
 T have always enjoyed seeing the sun rise" she said
 ''In that case" said her husband, de- cidedly, "I shall not go to bed at all, since it would not be worth my while 1 will stay up all night and take my sleep at my office in the afternoon. So we will have breakfast at three o'clock, if you like"
 This teaches us that the early worm will turn.
