He sank into the seat opposite
Marjorie. who gave him one terrified
glance. and burst into fresh sobs:

happy"
Perhaps Mrs. Temple was little
mified at the couple that had led her
astray and opened her own honey
moon with wanton iib. In any case.
the best consolation she could o!Ier
Marjorie was perfunctory pat. and a
cynicism:
There. there. dear! You don't
know what real unhappiness Is yet.
Walt I'LL you've been married a
while"
And then she noted startling hack
Of completeness in the brides hand.
"Why-my dear,-where's your
wedding ring?"
With what he considered great
presence of mind. Mallory explained:

cried Don't you know
You see, It's my first marriage"
You poor boy--this finger" And
Mrs Temple. raising Marjorie's limp
hand. selected the proper digit. and
held II forward. while Mallory pressed
the fatal circlet home.
And then Mrs. Temple. having com
pleted their installation as man and
wife. utterly confounded their con.
fusion by her final effort at comfort;
We'll, my dears. I'll 20 back to my
seat, and leave you alone with your

Whereupon Mrs. Temple resigned her
TO Mallory, and consigned her to fate
with a consoling platitude:
Cheer up. my dear, you'll be all
right In the morning"
Marjorie and Mallorys eyes met In
one wild clash. and then both stared
into the window. and did not notice
that the shades were down.

restrained by the convention which
rules In the towns as to placing the
best rooms In the front OF the house.
If the house faces the north he will
probably place the principal living
rooms at the back, so they may get
as much sunshine as possible. There
