Husband and Wife.

A man is not happy when he Is con-
tinualy being made to feel that he has
acted like a brute, nor does any man
like to have a woman, however dearly
he loves her, peering forever into the
recess Of his mind with q view to fnd-
ing out if he cares for her as much as
he did yesterday. 1 have seen many
a decent fellow made almost brutal by
this sort Of affectionate inIuisition. No
man enjoys having his affections pull
ed up by the roots to see If they have
grown or not since yesterday. In short,
every human being feels the need OF a
little decent mental privacy. Every
one has a right to thoughts Of his own.
a right to variations of emotions that
he is not bound to tell about. Women
do not think this. They win relentless
ly track every feeling their husbands
have to its last hiding place. Then,
when all sponteneity Is dead, they
mourn for it.-"Husband'' In Harper's.

While mamma was busy decorating the

After running on some errands for her
mamma, Flossie slipped from the dining
room, where mamma was still busy with
the table, and went up to the attic store
room. 1t was cold and dusty and dark,
for seldom did anyone save the servants
so up there. Old carpets, broken pieces
of furniture, battered boxes and trunks
and CASTOR picture frames and brio

desired candlesticks which she remem-

become uneasy and search the other liy-

in distress. her mamma would telephone
for her papa TO come home, telling him
that their lite girl was missing from
the house.
Fiossie sat on the box and wept, wept
from fear and anxiety over her terrible
imprisonment. Would she eyer-eyer get
out? Would the invited guests arrive for
the party and no FloSsie to meet them?
Would her tenth birthday pass in this
