said as she stood in corner OF
their 10 by Il parior and looked at
picture She hs.c 5ung on wall near

One thing that makes II SO delight
full is that we harmonic SO entirely
in our ideas of where things should
be. do think that our tastes are
wonderfully similar.
Isn't 1t nice to have 1t that way?
! don't see how we can possibly guar
rel when we think just alike"
Quarrel. The idea Of as quarrel
ing. I'd as soon think OF tile possi-
bility of the sun and moon humping
together as You and I quarrelinE,
Whatever put that foolish idea Into
your head, sweetheart
"Oh, just because, you know, mar
ried people do quarrel now and then.
and often about the merest trifles.
But 1t takes two to make quarrel
and know that l never will--where
are you going 70 put that chippen.
dale chair that dear Aunt Ellen gave
us, darling?"
4 was going to put It right in this
corner. sweetheart
DO You think that r. the best place
for 1t, Harold, dear? You know that
II Is the handsomest thing we have,
and to me 1t would look bet
ter near the center Of the room"
Think SO? Iilstry 1t there"
= like it better there, darling"
"You do? Well, now, cent say
that do, Sometimes 1t looks as If we
were trying to show It of and call at
tention to IT."
Il don't think 1t does. And | want
folks to see 1t so long rs It is really
the handsomest thing we have. don't
think that | am any more disposed to

wanted to make a vulgar display Of
the chair. but"
Il know that you didn't exactly say
that, Harold. but your tone Of voice,
and"
"My tone OF voice? My dear, spoke
rs ! always speak when"
mo, you didn't, Harold. There was
certain little note Of irritation in
your voice, and--but about the chair

one thing, | think dear Aunt Ellen
would not like It tucked away out Of

and she might feel hurt, and
Tucked away out OF sight in a cor.
ner! AS If anything could be tucked

this! Really, child, T."
Harold, am not child, and |
would thank you not to treat me as &c

great deal to Aunt Ellen and ! don't

Il guess that what my relatives gave
us will size up very favorably with

out Of harmony with everything else
we have. It's sort Of a false and
screaming note in"
Harold Newlywed, that chair II

couldn't be that In any environment
You gushed enough over 1t to deaf
Aunt Ellen, and I'd like to know whal
she'd say if"

My furniture!' I'd like to know
who gave us more than half of tn,
furniture we have Yes, and NOR,
