It was only few days ago that young Mrs. Bonner-'er who been up- der i've and twenty-'as Ter second 'usband-the first not bein' dead neither stepped into Sherry's for bite of luncheon. She'd eaten a lobster ls Newburg and had ordered 6 cream merangue when a gentleman come ir and took a seat at a table near by Suddenly their eyes met. Who should he be but MT. Robinson, Ter former 'usband, dressed in the height of Lon don fashion-for e 'ad lived abroad hever since the divorce-with a button niere in his coat and lookin' for all the world 'ansomer than eyer-and when he went abroad he was said to be the 'ansomest man in New York. You know, ma'am, MT. Bonner is 'signi6 cant lookin' man, with no great money neither. and heverybody wondered when Mir. Robinson's wife give up her 'usband for such a person.

 This is the 'appiest moment 'ave 'ad in three years says Mir. Robinson.
 "'I'm 'fraid made a mistake, Albert You was model 'usband. and I tried you very ard. Bonner can't 'eip Ipe with my costumes as you could E 'asn't the hartistic eye you ave-
 "They clasped 'ands under the table, and Mrs. Bonner's eyes was wet"
 That's right, Simmons remarked Mrs. yanderdecker. 'Stick to what they did, not what they said. You spoil the story with their talk"
