From spinser Ladys Vewpont-she Roundy Scores What She Terms Their Idiosyncrasies- the
 Season For Visiting
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

'I got into some clothes and when arrived in the dining room, I said;
 "Why on earth didn't you tell me you had breakfast at 6? I always like to be on time for meals when l visit
 Angelica replied:
 We don't always have it at this hour, but hubby couldn't sleep and so he got up and dressed and decided that we might as well have breakfast
 How niee.e said I, as looked at the creature, who had caused all this commo- tion, and secretly l would have liked to tell him what I thought But restrained myself, being. as l was, a visitor.
 All during breakfast he read The Age Herald between bites, and paid not an atom of attention to either Angelica or me, and when he finished he smacked his wife with a perfunctory kiss, just in the same manner that he put on his coat, and with gruff "Goodby to me, he left.
 And what happened next2" asked.
 "rhat evening Diavola went to bed promptly after dinner and arose the next morning with the lark. and this was sys- tematically carried out until Saturday
 Perhaps" said Angelica, i've may be able to inveigle hubby into taking Us to dinner at the club this evening"" as we sat on the porch the morning of my last day with them. T am sorry you have had such a stupid visit, but l simply can't help 1t, and you see how it is'
 T did, said the s. L., "and would like to have given her a few pointers, but re- membering the old saying that the best advice about managing husbands and chil- dren is always given by those who have none, I resisted the temptation, and let her manage her own tea party"
 You were very wise," I interpolated
 'I thought so," said the Spinster Lady land when evening came Diavola rushed home again and went flying to his room breathles sand excited Soon he emerged with a suitcase, and jumping into motor car standing at the gateway, he waved his hand to me, and shouted:
 Stay with Angelica until Monday. So long. See you laterr and off he whisked."
 Hubby has gone on a fishing trip" said Angelica bithely when she joined me few minutes afterward on the piazza. 'IIe felt that he needed the rest and I told him to go if it was to his in- terest for his health is above everything in life to me-
 How you must miss him when he is away I remarked. He is so much com pany for you.'
 He has been away every Sunday since the first of May" replied Angelica, as the tears gathered in her eyes.
 SO xua o1a1t tba Go+,,rdau avonfar home, Angelica and I. We did not go to the Country club, Angelica being a pru- dent wife, and not wishing to go without her husband, which statement l heartily approved.
 But all husbands may not be like An gelicas," I blandly suggested
 "Yes they are," promptly replied the Spinster. Lady. q have been to several other places visiting recently, and each one of them is precisely the same-plans and specifications Not one of them who will do one thing his wife wants him to do, because 1t Is too hot, but anything that crowd of men want him to engage in, even If the thermometer is 100 in the shade, Ne will be delighted Warm wealth CT, which brings out the worst in everybody, develops husband-like quail ties to the most siekening extent, and if I had one of the inconveniences (and here the Spinster Lady drew herself up to a towering heighD and he dared to go to sleep before 10 o'clock at night. and even so much as suggested going fishing with lot of men on Sunday, I'd either feed him pound of crushed glass in his food until he quietly disintegrated. or put cold poison in his coffee whichever would cause him the worst agony, and put stop to such foolishness."
 Perhaps that is the reason you haven't one," I wanted to say, but I only smiled and smiled and smiled.
