A Bad Scene.
AS they trailed out of the dining

on a carved claw foot of the side

over to unfasten it. He was unsteady,
his foot slipped on the polished floor,
he lurched and fell heavily. Trying to

With Warren's help he scrambled IN

some napkins and was wiping Helen 5

WHEN they sat down to the ia
w Bile with its Siittering appoint
ments OF silver and cut glass
Helen saw that It was to be long
and formal dinner.
At each plate were four wine glasses
and five forks-a most formidable array
Helen took a quick inventory of the
forks. for fear she might make the in
excusable blunder of using the wrong
one
Mrs. Thurston in her violet, evening
gown made a most charming hostess,
but there was a worried, anxious look
about her eyes
Helen wondered what could have gone
wrong. And then as she saw her glance
uneasily toward her husband she d.
vined the trouble. Mr. Thurston was
Enthusiastically flushed and loquacious. It
was plain that he had had several
drinks before dinner. And with all those
glasses before him-Helen could well
understand his wife's anxiety.
What do you think of this sherry,
Curtis?" demanded Mr. Thurston. when
the maid had removed the cocktail
glasses and poured out the pale amber
wine. Got a dozen of the real stuff
this winter when Goddard's wine cellar
was auctioned off. Was lucky enough
to get some corking old claret, too"

A Foolish Man.

ION, never let business interfere with
pleasure" and Mr.. Thurston laughed
hoisterously az this timeworn adage
Then as he stil failed 10 get the at
tention of the maid, he called peremp-
torily.
"Marie!" tapping his glass sharply.
Dear" ventured Mrs Thurston ner-
vously We're going to have cordial
now. DO you care for any more cham

"Oh. all right. bring on the cordial
then. That's some | got down in Porto

brought on a curiously shaped bottle
with a bright foreign label. You can
put that right here as, having filled
the tiny cordial glasses, she started 10
take away the bottle
It was time to leave the men 20 their
coffee and cigars, but Mrs. Thurston
dreaded TO leave her husband drinking

Mr. Curtis is right. dear, I think
we've all had enough.

A Rare Wine.

Warren praised the sherry and Mr.
Thurston insisted on having the glasses
refilled. With the next course the claret
was served
As the dinner progressed Helen no
ticed that Mrs Thurston was watching
her husband more and more anxiously.
He was drinking much more than was
good for him After the claret had
come the champagne, Of which he had
already drained two glasses. As War
rem drank very moderately, it made his
condition the more marked.
Mrs. Thurston, who had been toying
nervously with her almost untouched
glass, now motioned to the maid, and
Helen heard her whisper:
Marie, don't fill Mr.. Thurston's glass
again"
1t was a humiliating order to give
and she flushed painfully for she knew
they had either heard or OWNED her
whispered instruction.
A few moments later Mr.. Thurston
motioned toward his empty glass How
ever. Marie, who was now serving the
salad. pretended not to see him. AS he
was in the midst of telling a story,
Helen hoped he would forget about the
wine. But when he raised his glass
and found It still empty he again mo-
toned the maid. who was carefully
avoiding his glance.
