GIVING HIM A CHANCE.
Surely Time for Hubby to Do Live

Mrs Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go to New York on busl-
ness. and frequently did not reach his
home until the arrival of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit of sleeping peacefully at these
times without fear. but number of
burg glaries in the neishborhood during
one Of her husband s trips to New
York had disturbed her calm.
On the night Of his return Mr. Will
son was stealing carefully up the
front stairs, as was his wont on such
occasions SO that his wife would not
be wakened. when he heard her voice,
high and strained;
Il don't know whether you are my
husband or a burgIar.' came the ex-
cited tones, but | am going to be on

Il room at a time whenever it seems
very dusty and clean its walls and

wood floors and rugs. The day this
is done the other cleaning need not
be so thorough. A room at time
in this way does not inconvenience
the entire household, and too. pre-
vents the great accumulation of dust
which comes with waiting for spring

for disorder, and promoting cleanli-
