Candy For the Theater.

Mrs. Smythe never eats candy, yet
when she got ready to go to the thea
ter she bought a box of mixed choco-
lates.
"Why are you taking that alongT
asked her neighbor in the adjoining
fat, who knew Mrs. Smythe's unnat'
ural antipathy for sweetmeats,
For Mr.. Smythe to nibble a." was
the reply. HE will eat half hoxsui

How funnyw said the neighbor. ST
didn't know that men were given to
eating candy in the theater."

go to the theater provided with box

Ben invariably came through the or
chard gate at twilight and the line
never failed to knock his hat Off Men
are singular about their hats. He and
were combative, anyway, in those
days. One particular evening, like
this, and the frogs piping just that
way, we were unusually predisposed
to battle. We had been to picnic.
Both our noses were peeling with sun
burn and our shoes were tight. The
sunburn was just retribution to him,
for he had sat for an hour on tumble
down stile in snarl of blackberry

him. and then flung thunderbolts of
wrath about because l gave Joe Law

"And so nailed out the only man you
ever knew that was worth yard OF

"You might as well unnail 1t now and
let II be of some use. as long as the
whole business is ancient history and
Ben vanished away into airy nothing.
He won't bother you any more. While
you are incoming among dismal men,

May Rankine mentally noted her hus-
bands suggestion. Prolonged foreign
travel and a chance to study the old
masters with a new master always ap
peal to women.
But it's no use," Rankine added with
artful gloom. "She's as obstinate as
