stay at home-and cry my eyes out
probably. 1911 l.l,sf / {
Mr.. H.Don't talk such nonsense.
I'll stop in for you when I'm ready.
He walks out.
Mrs. M.-Now tell me all about II,
dear.
Mrs. II. (piclking mp the pass which
Mr.. II. left behind and handing it to
the Sympathetic Ffiend) There,
that's what caused the whole trouble.
You look il, over while I AZ my hair
and battle my eyes. But I'm not
going out with him unless he ex-.
plains everything, and = nice shout
Mrs. M. (reading aloud -on ac-
count Of Kit. Who IL this Kitty?
Mrs. 81. (triumphantly) That's
just what I wanted to know. First
he told me it was one of sHeld's cho-
rus girls; then, when he saw how ]
took it, he tried to turn it OF as. q
joke.
Mrs. Nj don't believe It was q
joke, Edith. You know he did use
to carry on dreadfully before you
married him.
Mrs. H. beginning to weep again)
He said he never knew any chorus
girls.
Mrs. sM.-The old hypocrite! That's
what his father Is c X him out OF Har-
ward for. He used to chum with
|sAldy Armand, whose uncle, ran the
Fremont, and both the boys were
Ibehind the scenes three or four times
Ea week. Mrs. Armand told MEs.
I Mrs. b. (hurriedly) Don't, Emily,
I can't bear it. To think we've been
married only q year and q half, and
Jack said to-day that he'd rather
Ehave me, go home to mother than 10
have her come here.
Mrs, N. (sympathetically) The
brute!
| Mrs. H.-Nno, Jack isn't exactly
q bru- bru brute, hut he doesn't. un-
fderstand wom-wOm-women
I Mrs. MI wouldn't let my hus-
band say anything like that to me.
Why, its outrageous. wonder what
She q 4 lobks like: She's pFplb'aably .
Mrs. II. ,(hysterically)-I know
what she'd look like il i had her here
now. I'm not going out with him to-
! night, anyway. Will you stay and
comfort me this evening, Emily?
Mrs. M.-Of course will, you poor,
abused dear. ttl,.. .e3st.,ss 1

Well, Edith. haven't you'll come to
your senses yet? !!

any of your old college friends.

Mr.. II. Clearing the remark Mrs.
Medlar, I think perhaps I had better
make an explanation, since you have
succeeded III bringing this little mis-
understanding to such a climax.a It
all began by, theE wording 81 that
pass, which I see you have appro-
priated. Merely in fun I said that
it was given me by a. chorus girl I
used to know. Now, common sense
ought to teach any woman that If
such had been the case I wouldn't
have told my wife. The Kit on that
card is the abbreviation for Frank
Kitson, press representative for the
Hollis. You know hing, Mrs. Medlar,
: and you also know that he and have
!! been friends for years., Now,~I don't
want to be inhospitable; butsi think
/ Edith and can settle this better
If we. are alone for a few minutes.
Mrs. NJ. (highly indignant Mr..
Hornung, you will never have the OPP
portunity to insult me- in, this fiat
again. will tell my husband what
you have said this very night. Good
by, Edith, dear. 3

Woman throws her arms around the
Average Man in a moist but affection
ate embrace.)
| Mrs H.-iYYeu were right, dear, it
was all her fault. She stirred me up
as she always does, and she is med
ding old thing. But you ought to
have told me in the first, place that
Kit wasn't Kitty 8 Oh. Heavens!
Catching sight of her face In a
glass; my nose A. a sight. But wait
Ia minute until AZ it. (She runs to
the chiffonier and manipulates q lit
tie puffy white thing for few min
j Ytes, then puts on her hat and comes
back to him). I'm all right now,
Jackets; kiss me and tell me where
