worth.
Yes, lost sometimes. If It were all
gain there would be no pleasure in 1t.
It's the losses that give zest to the
gains. There's nothing that makes life
worth living except the home. And
you've got the incest home Of any one
Of my acquaintance. Besides, you
have the prospect of children. I'm a
natural lover of children, and do you
know every year l love them more
and more. | never go into house
where there are lot Of them romping
about that | don't envy tho mother.
They're such blessing. I've often
thought how nice 1t must be to dress
them up at times and at other times
watch them play IN the dirt, always
merry and imparting their merriment
to their parents. Well, goodby. l just
ran In from my lonely room to get

"Well. my dear" said Mr.. Ainsworth
to his wife as they walked together
into their upstairs chamber. "how has
the battle gone today"
II don't know, Jlm." replied his wife,
whom he drew down on his lap, but
that we make too much Of these ordi
nary annOyances of life. 1t seems to
me that If we stopped occasionally to
think how much better off we are than
some other persons we wouldn't feel
that our daily life contained 40 many
troubles. Elsie Asche dropped In to-
day just to have look ut the comforts
we have In order to cheer herself up
from the misery OF being alone In the
world had been grumbling to my
self after you went to business at what
| am Obliged to do for you every day,
considering myself to be u slave to
you and all that"
II was thinking the same about you"
-"when Elsie came In, and she rat
tied away In that garrulous fashion OF
hers. showing me how well Off am,
making me ashamed Of myself"
Funny! That's exactly what Jones
was saying to me when | left the
Office"
Il tell you what Wen do. Hereafter
I'm going to consider myself not your
slave, but your willingly obedient wife,
rendy to obey you in everything, not
because It IL duty. but because It Is
pleas'
And not got through my pocketboOk

THAT'S not matter of obedience,
but measure of precaution. We
mustn't spend all our income or we'll
never get ahead, and when the little
one comes we must be prepared to-
by the bye, Kit, when the little one
comes We'll have some one we can
both boss, and we won't think 80 much
about bossing each other"

II have an idea. Phil Jones and e.
sic Asche are both 30 miserable alone.
Suppose we give them taste of mar
ried life by making "A match between
them?"
elsie would make good Wife"
"And Phil Is Il fine fellow"
VERY well Wen bring them in to-
gether for dinner"
And year after the wedding we'll
ask them how they like 1t. Maybe
they'll say they have jumped out OF
the frying pan into the fire"

"Oh, no. There's nothing needed.
He's asleep now. Jim and were up

Headache; played out all over and
