Mary Stewart Cutting under the title
of More Stories of Married Life"
which is among the few available new
books in San Francisco. makes a very
pretty bouquet OF literary sweets. The
woman writes as IL her lamp must
throw a haloed light around her hand
and pen and paper as she works which
by some mystic spell-charm makes her
compositions bright. beautiful and
noble

them, and these suggestions of their
charm may give you wish to possess
the whole bunch. If you have read no
stories since the big disaster stunned

craft of Mary Stewart Cutting will be
good material wherewith to start
again the story-reading habit.

and blisses of the suburbanite. It's
about Anita Gibbons. The time is
spring. The glory of the balmy wealth
err combined with the pleasant feeling
of having on a nice new gown and hat
prompted her to give her husband "a
little surprise" by going to meet him
at the station when he should return
in the evening from his work in the
city. The thought that came to her
was that tney iniSht walk prlually

Mr.. Gibbons was never known to be
on time when thus hopefully expected
by his wife: but the happy springtime
made her think that this evening he
would surely be there to meet her
welcome. SO Anita waited an hour
and half In vain. and then she
went home to discover from her maid
that Gibbons had been there during
the wife's absence. and, getting tired
of waiting for her to come home. he
had hurried off to keep an appoint
ment to a dinner party to which his
wife was also invited. Being a subur-
banite, he had to hurry to catch his
train at a certain hour or he would
