A man is liable to make mistakes
during his honeymoon. Our was six
months old when made mine. Ruth
and l had just come out of the West,
where we had wooed and welded, to
settle down not many miles from her
old home. II was a beautiful little
New England town, just the place for
a charming girl like Ruth to live in.
Furthermore, we had taken an artistic
little cottage and, tC make everything
complete, We were to have a jolly
house warming, that | might meet
some OF Ruth's friends and relatives,
especially the members of her old
whist club.
All the forenoon we had been in a
Whirl Of preparation, for we were to
meet the party on the five o'clock
train, and there were the butcher. the
BAKER, and the modern substitute for
the candlemaker, to be urged into ac-

Ruth discovered that hand mirror
was wanted, and posted off down town
after it, remarking that Cousin Alice
was most particular about her back
hair, and never could get along with

any stray man who might act as if he
were looking for some one.
There was such a male. His narrow
face with dark side whiskers vaguely
reminded me Of somebody. He acted
like a stranger, too, SO l rushed up
to him.

He said he was looking for Mrs. |
Ruth Crosby.
Then it's all right" said I, for I
am Ruth's husband"
We chatted pleasantly until we
reached the house. Then we sat
down in the ample Shaker rockers on
the piazza and proceeded to become
acquainted. AS if to facilitate mat
tiers, Theodore suggested smoking
Even then it was not until he had
produced his cigarette case, and
