THE CONFESSI
MARGIE CONCLUDES:
Copyright, 1914, by the New
After our hotel breakfast, which
neither of us would eat, Dick be-
cause, as he frankly stated, he had
been drinking too much the night be-
fore, and 1 because l was so wOr-
ried over the loss of my suitcase, we
started out to find the Office of the
transfer company. A little walk
brought up there, and Dick told them
in vigorous language what he
thought of their methods. They
promised to look into the matter, and
we went back to the hotel to await
developments.
Dick was cross and 1 know 1 was
irritable. l was so sorry I had come.
l kept thinking of what MoIlie had
said about never trying to surprise
the man she had married, and won
dered how that clever girl had under
stood that surprises were such fool
ish mistakes.
Little Book, I'll confess to you one
thing, and that is that it is only after
q woman marTies that she realizes
what silly fool she usually is.
If l had not done this quixotie
thing would not have known that
Dick had broken his promise to me
about drinking and playing cards for
money; would not have lost my new
fall suit before 1 ever wore it; l would
not have been so physically tired and
consequently so frazzled looking.

1 had plenty Of time to think Of
this, for when Dick and 1 got back to
the hotel he pulled off his coat and
flung himself on the bed, with: 'Wen,
we can't do anything until we find
out about the suitcase, and might

he was snoring, and here was l, who

Dick is right: When one party ar
ranges something without consulting
the other party on the transaction
somebody is going to get the double

it was going to be me.
Dick slept until about two o'clock.
He did not even know when I went
downstairs and bought magazine
to read.
About two o'clock I got hungry and
decided if he wanted to sleep all day
was going to eat just the same and
started for the diningroom. The slam
of the door awakened Dick and he

said. "How late is it?"
