Its funny, but it's true" sighed
the gray-headed man, that most all
the blushing that is done in New York
nowadays is done by men. Novelists
ought to make a note of that. If they
want to be strictly accurate in their
attempts to portray contemporaneous
New York life they must cut out that
old-fashioned phrase He blushed like
a GIRL That doesn't mean anything
now. Girls don't blush any more;
that is. New York girls don't. Not for
an age have / seen a feminine face
suffused with the flush romantic. But
I've seen men blush. lots of 'em. 1t
behooves authors to bear that physio-
logical change in mind and whenever
they write a G. B. S. epigram or any
thing else that proves little too
strong for feminine sensibilities they
will have to describe its effect on the
abashed auditor by saying She blush
ed like a man New York Sun.

BOSS BOWsER.
That Is. He Thought He Was, But
Things Happen.

For three or four days Mr.. Bowser
had been cross and grumpy and fault
finding and while Mrs. Bowser had
tried to smooth things over she knew
that an outbreak was about due ana
prepared herself accordingly. All
husbands break out once in so often.
1t is said to be caused by bile or the
liver, but it may be the latent cussed-
ness lurking in the best of men and
periodically boiling over. When hc
reached home from the office the other
evening she knew that the hour had
come. He came scuffling along the
street, kicked the gate open and en-
tered the hall with a bang. He was
welcomed in the usual fashion. but
sulked all through dinner. When told
that a teamster had fallen from his
wagon in front of the house that after
noon and broken his neck, the news
brought only a "humphl'' in reply. 1t
was only after their return to the SIT
ting room that he started the ball roll
ing by saying:

That's what I have been looking
forward to for some time. I want to
tell you as starter that I'm not at all
satisfied with the way you conduct
yourself"
'swhat!" shouted Mr.. Bowser as the
red came to his face. DO you criticize
my conduct"
''I certainly do, sir. Not long since

You claimed Il was for your rheuma-
tism. You have no rheumatism. It's

Yes. sir, you couldn't walk across the

And this is Mrs. Bowser and she
is talking to me!s' he gasped as he
looked at the cat and then around the
room to see if he had possibly made
any mistake. There was a moments
silence and then Mrs. Bowser con-
tinued:
You were speaking about putting
in two evenings a week at your clubs.
You never attend one of them that
you don't come home at least five dol
lars worse off in pocket, and on some
occasions you have dropped as high
as fifteen at poker. In the first place
you don't know the game and in the
next we are going to the theater one
night per week during the rest of the
season. You can cut out one of your
clubs.'' @

looked a bit scared, lam Mr..
Bowser %

mo. sir. You are the Bowser whose
wife runs things. There's a new deal
on hand. Perhaps you had better take
a walk and think things over. You
look as if your mind was all tied up
in knots"
Mr.. Bowser walked down the hall
like one in a dream and put on his hat
and overcoat. Then he went out and
walked up and down. Men spoke to
him, and boys threw snowballs at him
from across the street, but with low
cred eyes and bent head he continued
to walk The snow crunched under
his feet; the north wind blew and
the dead limbs of the shade trees rat
tied against each other over his head,
but he walked and walked and whis-
pered to himself:
"If 1 am Mr.. Bowser, what am
doing here? If 1 am not, then what
has become of him, and who the devil
am II"
And the north wind sighed and
moaned and seemed to echo the words,
''Who the devil am I?''-(Copyrigh
