THE GAlNFUL LOSS.


For the first time in nearly twenty
years Rose Brett went TO her bed
without a good night word to her
husband. For as long as she could
remember, she and Carter had had
their little talk at the end of the day
lover business matters. True, they
were chiefly Roses interests. But
Brett was good listener and an clo-
qucnt one. The nightly rite of talking
things over had grown to be a part
lof life to Rose. She found herself
actually aghast at this first break be-
ween them, this first omission of the

In the morning, on the contrary the

who are unable to speed into the cool

porch or the lawn, and they should be
guarded from the thoughtlessness OF
Ncll meaning neighbors.
Many people unwittingly err in this
regard because their attention has

probably that many burn their trash

Peter went on to explain that they
