II feel almost as II 1 were on the verge of
nervous breakdown. A sea trip will just

Ing and 1 guess you can get ready all
right"
, 'Oh, yes" agreed the lady. And then as
new idea occurred to her faint frown
furrowed her usually placid brow.
"of course, dear" she began hesitatingly,
there are a few little things 1 will have
to buy. People have got to be just as
dressy on the sea trips as If they were on
land. And think, too, you'd have to make
several purchases"
''Sure!" the Boss cordially assented. Sup
pose we get up a list now of all the things
we need and I'll draw you a check right
away so you can go down town tomorrow
and get the complete outfit"
"That'll be fine!" exclaimed his delighted
only little less than its actual squander-

So the Boss sharpened a pencil to a very
fine point and with a clean white page be-

"Of course you'll need new travelling

At any other time this unfortunate re-

The Boss Of the Establishment
BY AMERE MAN.

II see" said the Boss of the Establish
ment, looking up from the magazine he
was reading, that somebody has written
a poem to time table-a solemn, throbbing
effort in blank verse that, 50 far as can
make out, isn't even intended to be funny"
His wife laid down the woman's page of
her favorite newspaper
YES" she said. II read it. But you've
got to do something like that to get your
things accepted, they tell me. If only
could write a sonnet to an egg-beater-or
an ode to a carpet-sweeper-Id become
poet!"
"Humph!' grunted the Boss practically.
You could look much higher than that.
You could write advertisements 1 can't
say" he added, that 1 know what this fell
low means when he says how reticent the
time table is to be so hot with passion,
but 1 suppose he understands it and it's
all right. Anyhow, he's reminded me of
our vacation. I'd like to get away early
this year. When do you want to go?"
How much money will we have?' asked
his practical helpmate, at once stripping
the problem of unessentials.
"Oh, l should say about $780," replied the
Boss of the Establishment loftily.
Realty gurgled his spouse delightedly.
"Why, that's splendid! We can do some
thing worth while Do you know, dear,
I've always wanted to take that trip to
Bermuda and the season has been so back
ward that 1 would just love to get away
to a place where the sun in shining and
the flowers are all in bloom"
That's a great idea" agreed the Boss,
enthusiastically. II suppose 500 would
about cover our travelling expenses and we
could have the rest for hotel bills and in
cidentals, and just to blow in"
There was long pause, during which
the Boss reflected in silent rapture upon
the delights of the contemplated trip.
"Say!" he exclaimed finally, whats the
matter with going next week! ] can get
away from the office then and I've no
doubt you could pack up in no time!"
Now up to the moment of reading the
lines to a time table, which had turned his
thought to vacation delights. the Boss had
been in his customary state of vigorous,
If not vulgar, health. But such is the
power Of self-suggesetion that the moment
his mind became fixed on place to which
he wanted to go his body seemed overcome
with lassitude, and he decided that he was
in desperate need of rest atnd quiet.
MY nerves have been under a terrible
strain for the last few weeks" he said.

He Proves Conclusively that
Dreams Seldom Come True.

Things are cheap now; can get one
for $40"
Forty dolars!' repeated the Bos, and
wrote the amount in his roundest ant
flrmest figures. What else?"
WELL really, 1 think I'll have to have
another hat l know bought two new
ones only last week and that I've had fouI
since Easter, but, you see, every one IA
either flowers or feathers and besides be-
ing inappropriate salt water would ruiz

get a very nice travelling hat for SIS"
Fifteen dollars!' echoed the BosI
courageously, and duly set it down.
And 1 really must have new dinner
dress. I've nothing 1 could wear on board
and everybody dresses for dinner. l might
get some little net thing for about $50 that
would do-and a paraso! My last sum-
mer's parasol had flowers on 1t and the
sun faded them out. Put down $40 for the
parasol, though might be able to get one
for $3.50"
The Boss looked up from his accounts,
which were growing complicated. and WAS
startled to observe his wife's glowing face.
Her eyes shone, her cheeks were flushed
and there was no doubt that she was ex.
perienclng all the delights of a real shop
ping tour.
What next?" he asked quietly, SO az
not to disturb the spell.
Thus encouraged the Boss wife launched
once more on her list of immediate neces-
stiles and for five minutes her lord silently
put down figures.
Suddenly the lady paused.
"Of course, there are a lot of things I
should have, but l realize that we have a
limited amount of money and that you
need some new things, too. You see, $500
isn't really so much money after ALL"
Il see it isn't" replied the Boss, who
had been doing some frantic addition while
she spoke.
And then he said in q queer. subdued
voice, II don't think 1 could go to Ber-
muda without a straw hat and q dozen
new collars. Six dollars ought to cover
those. Now, I'll add 'em all up!'
His wife leaned eagerly over his shoulder
as the figuring began.
What you need to get started for Ber-
muda comes to $2sS.75. With my So that
makes $295.75, or a balance OF 3A25 for hotel
bills, incidentals and travelling expenses"
announced the Boss with cold deliberation,
and his wifes dream was over.
