Zee cups at the boy. Sne naQ arrived
In town unexpectedly just as he was
about to start for their summer home
at Daisyhurst to spend his Saturday
to Monday holiday.
She explained that she had grown
tired of the country and thought it
would be a jolly idea for them to go
Summing in the city. Her Majesty's
definition of Summing included the
most expensive dinners obtainable on
hotel roof gardens, trolleying, and
table-d noting and wild suppers in
German restaurants.
I'm sick of cows and chickens
and pigs" she declared, as she bolted
into the Boys Office. 'I've a bad
case of New Yorkitis. want to go
up and see the monkeys in the Zoo
and be helped over Broadway by a
big policeman"
So on Sunday morning they found
themselves having a very informal
breakfast in the closed-up house
where the Boy had been keeping
bachelor hall.
How delightful it seems to see
exclaimed the Boy. 'I've stopped
breakfasting at home since you went
away. Home is not the same place
without woman's gentle presence"
Il should say it isn'ti" exclaimed
Her Majesty; Il found thirty-seven
empty beer-bottles under the piano
and soiled collars hung all over the
MIA nf Inc oh
a Christmas tree"
II entertained the Don't Worry
Club here one Friday evening"" ex-
'plained the Boy, "and they seemed
to imagine that l had invited them
for weekend party. They didn't go
home until Monday, and / had to lend
them all clean collars. They were in
a. decorative mood when they left,
and so hung their own collars on
fhotree."
"Then the idea of the cat!" ex-
claimed Her Majesty, in an annoyed
way.
You mean the kittens, I suppose, Z"
said the Boy. "Well. l couldn't help
that, you know"
Then the geraniums in the win
dow boxes are all in bloom" pouted
Her Majesty; ''it was so mean of
them to bloom while I was away!"
That was the most remarkable
thing!" exclaimed the Boy
I've discovered that cigar ashes
will make plants bloom. I've been
using the window boxes as ash trays.
1t worked so well with the fwers
that / realized that there are undis-
covered and perhaps valuable chemi-
cal properties in cigar ashes. Just
as an experiment l put some in the
canary's seed, and. do You know, it
has grown quite fluffy"
II have decided" said Her Majes-
ty, seriously, that it is wife's duty
to stay by her husbands side during
the summer time. I shall not return
to Daisyhurst. l have decided to send
for my trunks"
Don't think of such thing!" ex-
claimed the Boy. II am quite con-
tented, assure you"
Her Majesty looked sharply at him
Then her face softened. "Ah, yes, y
she said, you say that because you
are so self-sacrihcing, so noble"
mot at all! Not at ALI" protested
the Boy.
Since have been away" went, or
Her Majesty, II have had more time
to think of serious things. When
went away thought OF nothing but
new gowns"
The Boy looked up In alarm. Ht
thought this angelic mood suggested
illness. Her Majesty had a GecideC
appreciation for new gowns nor
mally.
"They were very pretty gowns" h,
remarked, gallantly; they wer,
worth the money"
"They are all worn out now sait
Her Majesty, ito ragsi"
The boy started apprehensivel,
and looked keenly across the table
He was accustomed to gentler meth
ods for the extraction OF new gowns
This was more cyclonic than He
Majesty's usual orm
I'm thoroughly sick OF dressing.
she went on. "The woRfen at Daisy
hurst think of nothing else and tall
OF nothing else. We women are mis-
understood because of the attention
we pay to our gowns Men think W
are idiots!"
Nothing OF the sort" said tn
Boy. I'VE know better"
THE best proof Of it is besid
you" said Her Majesty, indicating
copy Of the Daily Jollier as yet III
folded beside the Boys plate. Il
that paper you will find a certai
page or pages devoted to women
The Boy found a highly coiore
supplement- and handed It across III
table. Her Majesty opened It wit
an air of distaste.
Here, for instance she said. :"

@One way would seem to be sufl

Then comes an illustrated discu

But not eieyating, you'll admit.
