 For full 20 minutes MT. Justwed eI- banded, enlarged and amplifed his views on his new-fOund topic. in full enjoyment of his after-dinner cigar.
 Well" he exclaimed finally, pushing back his chair and rising, well not worry about this servant problem. I'll help you every day and we will get along finely. l must attend to few matters now I brought home from the office with me-you'n not mind if I don't talk to you for a half hour or so, will you. dearier'
 And he started for his easy chair and droplight in the sitting room.
 Why-why-Homer. dear" cried Mrs. j. in alarm, you don't intend that I shall clear up all these dishes by myself. do your
 'I should say not,''
 Mir. Justwed wheeled about with alac- rity. He hastened to explain: ''I beg your pardon! l forgot-Just force of habit. you know, that I left the table. We'll get these things washed up in a jiry!"
 It is always easier to start trouble than 1t is to clear it up. And this is especially true of getting and clearing up a dinner.
 MT. Justwed found 1t so with a ven geance. Handling greasy, sticky, messy plates in water hot enough to scald a brass monkey Is by DO means as pleasant as adding up long. neat columns of figures and striking a balance. And then, after q faxNT q IfShn NhA f1II wet and slimy and unsavory, so MT. Just wed discovered.
 To cap the climax, he quite unavoidably dropped one of Mrs. Us pet dinner plates right on the floor-ker-plunk! Mrs. J. screamed. Mfr. J. picked up the pieces, apologetlcally.
 When everything was cleared away Mrs. Justwed was so tired that she sought her couch immediately. MT. Just wed passed a very unpleasant half-hour composing himself before he was able to work.
 Mir J. was twenty minutes late at the office the next mornlng-he just couldn't leave the breakfast for Mrs. J. to clear up alone. He was irritable, too, and hungry. To go into a cold kitchen. fish around in the icebox for things to eat and then cook them in the cold. grey dawn was bad enough, but to be com pelled to wash greasy dishes afterward just about took all the enjoyment out of a breakfast.
 On the evening after the third dinner and the fourth breakfast Mir. Justwed was wobbly In the knees.
 He dropped another much-prized dinner plate while performing with the dish towel.
 Now look at you!' walled Mrs. l.: ''thc second one in three days, Why don't you look what you're doing? Any servant I ever saw is better than you! You are-!n'
 Mr. Justwed tore his hair and said thinss-not under his breath, either.
 He stOrmed out of the kitchen. livid with rage. Then he calmed down and looked the situation squarely in the face.
 An hour later Mrs Justwed entered the sittiug-room and sternly faced her hus- band.
 Its wonder you wouldn't have , helped me with those dishes!'' she said, Gccusingly.
 ''I'm sorry. Blossom. dear" MT. Just wed replied, quietly. meekly, but I've been busy. There are a number of 'Situa- tions Wanted advertisements in the paper this evening. You'd better take the first girl you can get in the morning"
