ferry Tenkins Reforms;
Why His Wife
Went Home
BY ROYAL DANIEL.

began kicking himself for not kicking
sooner. He read patent medicine adver-
tisenents to make him feel bad. He look
ed at pictures Of great men TO prove his
own life had failed. He asked his wife If
she didn't love her first husband more
than she loved him, but she put an end to
the discussion by saying she hadn't
thought of her first marriage since she
put off mourning clothes.
Then Jerry braced himself for star
stunt He offered to lend his wife money
No, thanks, her dear, dear auntie had
sent her a check! She felt quite wealthy.
No, 81 knew of nothing special he could
do. She was quite content. No one can
know lust how contentedly content a wo-
man can get when she has it in her mind
TO be content for a certain reason. Even
Jerry's very presence interrupted her. She
looked it,
And the man with a mind to get mad
had a moment all his own to think. Wo-
men have happy faculty of making men
think sometimes.
Then Mrs. Jerry decided she would join
her husbands church and be a pessimist.
She did all manner of things TO remind
him of her change of mind. She declared
the world was hourly growing worse She
said she was the only poorly dressed wo-
man in the town. She even intimated
there was a tinge of insanity in her fam
lily somewhere.
And it came TO pass that Jerry put on
his thinking cap and got real busy in his
upper story. He lost interest in the club
and was long on theatres. He caught cold
that afternoon from the chilly atmosphere
that pervaded his wife's boudoir. His
wife became very fond, of her friends and
spread affection all over the poodle. Old
Jerry, sour and crabid, went along his
weary way unnoticed and unwept. FL
nally it became so very unwarm for Jerry
that he wondered to himself and leaned
forward and kicked himself He had a
rough house every day at the Office and
when night came he walked up and down
the block like race horse that bolts the
track and strolls on the field in a shame
faced way.
These things were doing one day when
Jerry accidentally smiled. He quit drink
ing, swore of on cigars and hurried home.
He fired the nurse and played with the
baby for an hour. He bought a hammer
and some nails and hung the pictures
over again. He insisted on making the
fire every morning when the weather was
very wet and even persuaded Mrs Jerry
to invite the Tuesday Whist club and
begged her to elect him an honorary men,
Der, but subject to dues. He gave UP his
position as bank president so he wouldn't
have anything on his mind at night He
rapidly got himself acclimated and was
getting along fine.
But his wife noticed none Of these things
and went home to see her mother and
didn't come back.
And Jerry was firmly convinced in long
years after. that his reform was too sud-
den and that he overdid the thing.

- nee there was a Patient Man
who had one kind of a Wife.
Something hurt her all the
the time but she couldn't tell
just what. it was. She was
afflicted with Soul-Hunger. She was
New Woman. In fact she was one of
the Newest Women that ever came out
of a Book Store and she was Fresh
every Hour.
When the latest Fad struck Town
she appointed herself a Reception
Committee and hurried out as far as
the Railroad Bridge to welcome it. She
loved to mess around with little Clubs
that went on Young Hyson Jags and
then CROPPED after the Whatness Of
something. If she could land in with
a dreamy Bunch and sit in a Front
Room with all the Curtains pulled
down and the Candles shaded. while a
Lady who never had ruined her Shape
read a Puzzle Paper that got past
every one who heard IT, then the Wife
of the Plain Man thought she was hav-
ing the Time of her Life.
She loved to fllrt with the Unknowa-
bic and occasionally take a Fall out
of the Occult.
But she had no Time for anything
she could Understand. She preferred
to sail through the Ethereal Regions
OF the Bamboo Dreams, hanging by
one Toe and having a Rush of Blood
to the Head.
AS suggested at the Beginning Of the
Fable, the Poor Woman did not know
what hurt her but she proceeded on
the Theory that the Higher Intellec-
tual Life consisted of Equal Parts Of
Vertigo and Guess-Work.
All this meant Fine Business for the
Boy who in a Careless Moment had
promised to Love. Honor and Obey.
She sprang a new Series of Curves on
him every Week or two. Sometimes he
suspected that she had gone aft to the
Wheel-House but he didn't like to say
so on account of the Children. So he
continued to play Angel to her Contin-
uous Performance.
The Wife, whose Name was Azalea.
used to go out and dig UP all kinds OF
Geniuses and take them up to the
House and Feed them. She considered
IT a great Honor 20 have some melan-
choly Person with an unusual kind OF
Hair come up to their Number and eat
about 50 worth of Food.
She and the Genius would sit at OPP
posite ends of the Table and ping-pong
a line of inspired Conversation that
never touched Husband at all. He
couldn't even keep Score.
Azalea never could find time for
straight-away Business Man who wore
a Sack Suit and ordinary Collar and
talked about what had been in the
Morning Paper. No. indeed. for she
was on the lookout for Rare Birds.
She went to a Paderewsh Concert
once, and when the Artist with the
crinkly Mop leaned over the Gee Side
of the keyboard and began to tear
off the Quarter-NOtes with his Eyes
closed. it was then that Azalea tried
to climb over the Foot-Lights and steal
a Kiss.
Azalea always had a number of MI
steal Mokes on her Staff. When she
had Soiree, the Plain Husband would
go away back and sit down behind
Rubber Plant or an Orange Tree
where no one could see him. He knew
that the Music was Good, but 1t did
not sound right to him.
Azalea did not put in all of her time
with the Musickers. One day she came
home and said that she had discovered
the greatest Literary Genius ever born
in Captivityz-one who would sooner or
later make Hall Game look like cents
