first quarrel. but IL unavoidable, night
1t through bravely. To be victor In

a tendency to elevate thee In thins
husband mind for all future.
SECOND: Thou shalt not forget

THIRD: Thou shalt not always
talk money TO thine husband. Rather
try TO get along on the allowance ne

FIFTH: Once in great while.
but not too often. thou shalt let him
have the last word. II tickleth him
and will not do thee any harm.
SIXTH: Thou shalt read the

dial and society. Thine husband will
be pleasantly surprised to find of and
on. that he can talk on general topics
and even on politics with his wife.
SEVENTH: Thou shalt not be rude
even when quarrelling with thy hus-

try home, Dieppe. In France.
u II would have been the stu
niarst house party In the history or
such things but for the marQuise her
self and her most attractive guest,
Jacuueline Carteret.
The others In the house and in the
neighborhood contributed little. The
rnarQuise gave wit abundanuy. JacQue'
line furnished surprises.
She was petite. plump. with big blue
eyes and ed-brown hair. She was sc
pretty, 80 imbued with the JOY or life
30 masterful ia her ingenious little
way, that every situation served but
to acoentuate her charms. Her smile
was confiding and Irresistible. She
swept conventions aside with dimpied
arms and did right always. frequent
~ shocking tremendously her rela-
tives and friends, TO whom convention
was most important. She was as
sweet as a hedge violet. as vigorous as
school boy She was destined to
make complications out OF which
comedy might grow. but never tragedy.
Marquise Adored Jacqueiine.
The marQuise was handsome. aris
tocratic old lady. with snow white hair
She loved 10 make people happy. but
she detested sham. Her wit was un
failing her humor infectious. She
adorned JacQueline, and had taken the
direction OF the girls life from the
hands of her uncle. Jean Carteret, who
had allowed her TO grow up wild.
The marquise had a nephew. Ernest
Augarde. who was achieving disunc
ton as a historian, and she designed
10 bring about his marriage with JAG
Queline. Augarde had an income OF
about $4,000 year. and Jacqueline
was equally rich The historian was
sober, sombre looking young man
OF thirty-absent-mi absorbed In
the love, in his distracted way. with
JacQueline, who called him Ernie and
laughed at his clumsiness.
The marquise had agreed with the
Able Merlin that Jacqueline should
have quiet. plain husband. The
Able Merlin had frequently counseled
| her as TO Jacqueline. Never In their
talks had there come the supposition
that Jacqueline was in love.

But she was. In her own way she
