a trembling voice, than the wrecking
of home by woman's uncalculating
folly?"
Lawyer Gooch delivered the cautious
opinion that there was not.

Would you consider a divorce the

This woman has a husband who is far

despises literature. He sneers at the

say that this unfortunate wife one day

said to the once boy. who was await
ing the order.
A tall lady, Of commanding presence
and sternly handsome, entered the
room. She wore robes-robes; not
clothes-ample and fluent. In her eye
could be perceived the lambent flame
Of genius and soul. In her hand was a
green bag of the capacity of bushel,
and an umbrella that also seemed to
wear a robe, ample and fluent. She &C

Are you Mr.. Phineas c. Gooch, the

"As a lawyer, sir began the lady,
you may have acquired some knowl-
edge of the human heart. Do you be-
lieve that the pusillanimous and petty
conventions of our artificial social life
should stand as an obstacle in the

miserable and worthless wretches in

lady, with snap of her luminous eyes
and a startling gyration of her UNI
brella. Business is what I've come
for. l want your opinion in the matter

would call 1t. but which is really only

noble conditions that the short-sighted

rupted Lawyer Gooch, with some i'm
