The dinner table seemed charged
with electricity last night when
Dicks family took dinner with us. 1
came to the conclusion that most of
the complexities of married life are
furnished by the 'tin-laws."
Poor old Dad looked tired after his
long day at his Office, and mothers
fretfulness and criticism of every
thing, including food and lights in the
dining room, did not add to the hilar-
ity of the occasion.
Dick seemed quite happy, but he
kept looking at me in a rather ques-
tioning manner and knew he had
something on, his mind. Molfie had
insisted upon wearing her recently
purchased hat down to the table, and
nothing in the way of approaching
family jars was allowed to interfere
with her enjoyment of the occasion.
How do you like my hat, Dick?"
she asked and then added: .Margie

spitefuIly, but Dick looked gratefully
at me and said: tits bully, Mollie.
Did Margie get one for herself?"
4"Yes," 1 answered. ''I'n show it to
you after dinner"
Then there fell an uncomfortable
silence, for we seemed to have no
subject on tap that would interest US
all.
AS we were waiting
AS we were eating our dessert, lit
tie Mrs. Brown came over to our
table and purposely-I shall always
think-threw a bomb right into the
middle of our not very pleasant fam

Mollie surprised and Dick mad all
through.
81 am sure 1 don't know, Mrs.
Brown" 1 answered as composedly
as could. "He has not announced it
yet to his family"
well, you know my brothers boy
is in the same frat house as your
brother and he wrote home that Jack
is just crazy over the little Dunlap
girl and they are going to be married
just the minute he graduates"
Your nephew seems to know more
about it than his family, Mrs.
Brown" said Mother Waverly icily.
When Mrs. Brown left, Aunt Mary
looked UP and said: What an I'M
comfortable woman"
you've struck it, ;" said Dick as we
left the table.
AS soon as we got upstairs mother
turned to Dick and said: What do
you know about this, Dick?"

quick glance at me. "Jack wrote Mar

Dunlap very nice girl and asked her
to call upon the young lady when the
company came here.
