 Berner
 Come home and have a cup of cof. tec," she said. Mary has just baked some cakes"
 "Oh, I am so unhappy! Richard does not love me any more!"
 What do you say? Doesn't he love you any more?"
 No, I am sure he doesn't, or he would not talk to me as he does" And she told about several of their latest quarrels.
 But are you quite sure that you are not to blame little yourselfe"
 q know I am not" said Julie with determination, "but of course I cannot always be gay and jolly when he sulks and is unreasonable. There will be no happiness for me in life any more.' 5 "Now, that is nonsense, my dear. am sure your husband loves you as much as ever, but you are running your own happiness quarreling over trif1es."
 But what do you want me to do?"
 T will help you, dear,' said Mrs. Berner. q will send, you a talisman.' "A talisman?"
 "Yes, here it is," said Mrs. Berner. and handed Julie an old-fashioned bracelet.
 What you mean when you say it Is talisman?"
 "I will tell you. When l had been married about year, I too imagined that my husband did not love me be. cause we sometimes quarreled. Then my mother gave me this bracelet and told me to wear it always"
 Julie thanked her very much, but put put no faith in the bracelet.
 When Richard came home for din. ner he had unfortunately brought a friend and as the dinner was rather spoiled, his humor was not the best when he was alone with his wife after ward.
 "It was disgraceful to offer Miller a dinner like the one you served to night" he said angrily. T am very sorry, Dick, but shah be very careful not to let it happen aagin."
 One morning few days later when Julie entered the dressing room she found her husband standing at the closet looking very much annoyed. "You have not had my gray suit sent to the tailor to be pressed" he growled. "Why have you not done so?"
 Because am not your slave?'' Julie was about to answer, but again she remembered the bracelet and also that Richard had several times asked her to send out the suit, but she had thoughtlessly forgotten 1t.
 Do not be angry, Dick, dear" she said. "I know 1t Is shame that have forgotten it, but shall send it to the tailor today"
 Richard again looked at her, greatly surprised. but she pretended not to no tice 1t.
 Well. it really does not matter 50 very much, dear. Today will do just as we'll" A week later Julie visited her god. mother She looked as happy as dur. ing her honeymoon and Mrs. Bernel told her so.
 Well. godmother. I do feel as If were having a second honeymoon. know that Dick loves me as much as he ever did"
 "And how did you discover that?''
 Tt was the talisman you gave me.
 linen 1t has brought you luckf
 Indeed it has. have brought \ back. as I do not need it any more"
 Are you quite sure?"
 Quite. have discovered its secret. Julie laughed. One of my own bracelets will do just as we'll, now that know the truth of the old words: "A soft answer turneth away wrath.' but thank you all the same for 1t was really your talisman thu brought me happiness"

 How could Rich- ard ever have the heart to talk to her as he had done? They had been married only a year, and now he already be- haved as if he were the master and she his slave. She had never thought that they would be unkind to one another, but of course she would not remain silent when he came home from the office in bad humor, so her re- plies were sharp and biting.
 Again she wiped the tears away, for coming toward her at the next corner she saw her late mothers
