Astonished Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells a good story
about the domestic unhappiness of an
other actor. The hero Of the joke was
a man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition of the
brides financial resources, the hus-
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member of the company in
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more ap~preciative Of the
lady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stsod petrified with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with a gesture OF
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
"Merciful heavens! And he didn't
even have to-"

altar for nothing, and back OF his dis
approval, there was a long list OF al
vibrations and looks. memories OF
many tete-a-tetes and OF more fervent
kisses which scored a good deal In the
favor OF Dams first woman. The Ouch

ojsappointment.

Disappointment.
Dan Blair had not been hack OF the
scenes at the Gaiety since his first
call on the singer. Indeed, though he
had told the duchess he pitied Miss
Lane, he had o been able to ap-
proach her very closely. even in his
own thoughts. When she first ap-
peared on his horizon his mind was
full Of the Duchess Of Breakwater, and
the singer had only lowered round his
more profound feelings for another
woman. But Lefty Lane was an at
mosphere in Dams mind which he was
not yet able to understand. There was
30 little left that was connected with
his old home, certainly nothing In the
British Isles. excepting Ruggles, and
to the young man everything from
America had its value. Decidedly the
nice girl Of whom he had spoker to
Gordon Galorey, the p~rint-frocked,
bonneted type. the ideal girl that Dan
would like to marry and to spoil, had
not crossed his path. The Duchess OF
B~reakwater did not suggest her, nor
did any Of the London beauties. Dams
first ideal was beginning to fade.
He left Osdene Park on protest and
returned the same night to London,
and all the way back to town tried to
register In his mind, unused to analy-
sis, his experience with the Duchess
Of Breakwater on this last visit.
He had experienced his first dis
appointment in the sex, and this dis
appointment had been of an unusual
kind. 1t was not that he had been
turned down or given the mitten, but
he had seen one woman turn another
down. A omar had been mean, so
he put 1t, and the fact that the Ouch
ess of Breakwater had refused to
lend a moral hand to the singer at
the Gaiety hurt Dams feelings. Then,
as soon as his enthusiasm had Gained.
he saw what a stupid ass he had been.
A duchess couldn't mix up with a
comic opera singer, of course. Still.
he unused, "she might have been a lit
tie nicer about it."
The education his father had given
him about them was put to the test

Until the spirit for contriving lays

with emphasis, that many deliberately
draped windows, where costly mate
rails have been hung with lavish dis.
regard for expense, have a far less re.
fined and restful effect than mes
where straight curtains of this soft
and simple material, edged only with
plain hens, are used.
Cheese cloth looks we'll for several
months, often longer, and after, say,
half a dozen washings, the plain little
curtains are ready for yeoman's serv-
ice as busters and polishing cloths,

moderate expense.
But it is with the slightly more dur
able fabrics that charming results can
be attained Plain lawn, with a deli
cate figure stencilled on the two inch
hem to harmonic with the coloring Of
the room, is in perfect taste. Failing
skill in the use of stencils, it is an
easy matter to add to the plain
