She Preferred Jail

A neatly dressed woman of 40. who. re-
fused to reveal herr identity. was held in
the police court for special sessions OIL
a charge of shopIifting. She told the
magistrate that she had stolen in order
that she might be sent to Jail to escape
the "drudgery of married life." She de-
clared that her husband never had a kind
word for her. "It is drudge, drudge,

Not one?' asked Arabella.
Not one. repeated Annabella. 1--WE
selected the particular seaside resort we
went to from the most beautifully Illus
trated booklet you ever beheld-telling us
of all the attractions offered and the
quietude and blissfulness of summer
spent there, but in our fondest dreams
we never expected to encounter such
abysmal quietude as we actually found
there
Just as in your case, Arabella,Y she
continued. I'VE found the hotel COM
Portable, but the first evening, the alb
solute lack of masculine guests was ap-
parent to even the least observant There
were enough women to start at least a
half dozen Old Ladies'. Homes, and a
dozen Seminaries. Absolute lack does
not mean the two grandfatherly old gem
tlemen who sat in corner of the din
ing room. and enjoyed their meals to-
,gether and played dominoes all day on
the verandah 1t does not refer to the
hotel clerk and the handsome young man
who ran the news stand. 1t does, how
ever, refer to the facs that the next
morning when the girls fiocked out on
the tennis court decked in the most
fetching OF garbs, ready for love
game-there wasn't soul to engage in
It, but just girls and you know abou,
girls playing tennis together, and dane

and do for you, and that make a girls

80 next summer Arabela suggested,
II think it's just as well before we start
to a summer resort not to believe all we
hear. It's going to be a case with me
of spot the hero before you plan your
summer fiirtation.r
