to find with her, that she put up with
too much from him. A fat iron over
the head now and then might have
learned him some sense
To that last formula for increasing
marital felicity, Name, who, together
with the first speaker, was sitting in
the trolley seat in front of me. gave
such enthusiastic assent that the talk
promptly drifted away from the sub
ject of mistresSeS to an eu1ogy of the
wisdom of one Della Grady, who out
Keeleyed the Kelley cure by a judi
cious use of fiat irons upon an erring
husband.
Despite the interest of that last an

spect to change my seat and get out of
ear shot of the rather loudly pitched
conversation, If I had.
But simply because the angle OF
vision from maid to mistress seemed
to me decidedly interesting and sug-
gestive.
Suggestive of what? did hear you
ask?
/ Well, tell me, dear lady, who so
graphically describes to your friends
the faults of that maid of yours, just
what do you suppose her unvarnished
description of you to her friends is.
She knows you we1l-no one better
not even your husband and children,
for their clearness of vision is obscured
by their relationship to you. Try, then,
to imagine her description of you to
some friend upon the trolley car. Could
she testify, ST never heard her say an
ugly word all the time I wa there" or
"She was that quick to tell you about
it when she was pleased that I took
real comfort trying to do things extra
nice for her? ~
Don't you think on the whole it's
quite a suggestive line of thought?
