How Lillian Did Her Best to Throw
 Harry and Grace Together.
 Not only Harry Underwood but the rest of us decorated the landscape in tennis togs," as Lillian had expressed it, when Grace Draper finally arrived. 1 had to acknowledge the truth of Lillian's words. Her husband was a Handsome devil in f1annels," but I could not fathOm her reason for wish ing him to be attired in that manner for his first meeting with Grace Draper.
 This is quite like a scene from the inevitable garden party of the Eng fish novel," Lillian announced when we had brought chairs down from the screened porch to the shade of the big oak at the edge of the tennis court
 And it did indeed look like descrip- tions I had read of English lawns. The high hedges sheltered us securely from the curious glances of passers- by, and formed an effective back ground for my flower beds now gor- eeous with autumn cOlOrings. The tennis court was green and smooth. l was glad that I had purchased the tea wagon. I felt that Katie in a spotless cap and apron over her black dress bringing cut the tea wagon and serv- ing tea to us after our games, would add just the right touch.
 "Yes, the stage is set," said Harry Underwood dramatically.

 As if his words had been a stag l cue, Grace Draper appeared at tn | gate. She had been effectually con ccaled from us by the high hedge, ant i her tennis shoes of course made n | sound on the gravelled walk.
 Good afternoon I hope I haven kept you waiting,' she said in he | rich contralto voice. I ungrudgingl admitted that her boise was perfect She could not have helped hearin Harry Underwood's query, for hi voice is loud and penetrating, bu in her manner.

A Dog in the Manager.

"It Would Have Made Lovely Es- tates" Isn't it a shame?" said our host ess, that this beautiful land should go this way? It would have made such lovely estates"
 She appealed to the Lady-who- always s-knows-somehow The latter shook her head. I'm afraid I can't agree with you. I was just thinking how beautiful it was to see those peo- pie building their homes and bring ing their children out into the coun- try. l suppose these are the people who would be living in the crowded parts of the city if they hadn't the opportunity and the courage to come out here. I know the architecture isn't beautiful, but don't know when I've been more touched by anything It seems as if you could almost feel the love and hopes they are putting into those little houses. And how happy the children are! And see how they are fixing up their little gardens. It really seems something to be thankful for that there should be such a place for the people who haven't money as well as for those who have"
 That's my idea of the right way to feel.
 It's a terrible thing to think that the good things of the world aren't more evenly divided. Could anything be worse than grudging their share of pleasure to those who have less than we?

"Doesn't 1t disgust you?" said the Authorman's Wife, ito see a nice thing like that on creature like her? I declare, it makes me feel like throwing mine away"
 She was referring to a nice-Iook- ing feather boa around the neck of a woman who, by her red, stubby fingers, her pleasant but rather coarse face and several other un- mistakable signs, evidently belonged to what the Authorman's Wife calls "the lower classes"
 She Liked It Because Others CouIdn't
 Have One.
 No wonder she wanted to throw her feature boa away, since it is evident that the pleasure she finds in it is not in it's becomingness or its intrinsic beauty, but in the fact that only people with some money can possess the like.
 The unwillingness to see the "low- CT classes" enjoy themselves and find happiness in every normal harm less way is one of the meanest dog-in- the-manger traits that I know.
 Not long ago, while the Lady-who- always-knows-so somehow and I were visiting a friend in a large city, we took a walk through section of country which was just being devel- oped, It has been opened up by 8 land company. and has been bought by people of the flower classes" who are building houses upon 1t.

REVELATIONSOFA WIFE
By ADELE GARRH;ON

D1cky and Harry Underwood cast upon her as they sprang to their feet in greeting.
 But Mrs. Underwood was the first to grasp the girls hand
 q am so glad you have come," she said effusively. "Mrs. Graham has just been telling me of your tennis gameS this week. It must be so nice for you girls to live so near each Cther.''
 Mrs. Graham has been very kind" the girl murmured conventionally, and turned from us to the two men who stood openly admiring her. How do you do, Mr. Graham ?" She extended her hand to Dicky with a ooquettish little gesture that made me shiver, it conveyed such an air of un- derstanding between them. Dicky took the hand rather awkWardly. saw Lillian's eyes light up with gratified mischief as she saw his con- fusion. Then her voice broke in: Harry. you never have had the pleasure of meeting Miss Draper, have yOu?' she asked smoothly. Miss l Draper, this is probably the most | foot-free husband in captivity. He | always falls in love with every beau ] tiful face he sees, so whenever I in l tToduce him to a pretty girl I always gay in effect: Bless you my chill dren. Flirt as much as you lke.'"
 Harry Turns the Tables.
 Only Lillian Underwood could have l managed such a speech without the i effect of absolute rudeness The gay | rough carelessncss of her robbed the words of any surface discourtesy 1 But I knew and I think Grace Draper l understood the smooth inso1enco that l Lillian intended to have underlie her | little speech.
 To my great surprise and I think to Lillian's also Harry Underwood re- fused to rise to the bait. He bowed tow With the courtly air he can as- sumo when he wishes, and murmured i mischievOusly: 'I am certainly at Miss Draper's service" and then turned with an air of mock severity to Lillian.
 ''Woman." he thundered. "You are a prevaricator, I will not use the shorter and uglier word in deference tc these young, pure souls But I ask you face to face, did you ever say to ne, 'Flirt as much as you like with Mrs. raham?' You did not'
 He pointed dramatically to me.
 There stands the ideal of my dreams. DO I get full and free per mission to win her young affections and make Dicky look like a two spot I do not. Bah! You are four f1usher!'
 His air of bur1esqued misery and disgust was so well done that we all laughed But the expressions on the faces around him were worthy of study
 l Dicky's showed only amusement Miss Draper's imagined held a little pique. She was not used to having her startling beauty ignored by any man, But Lillian Underwood was plainly disappointed at her husbands reception of Miss Draper. I could not but wonder why.
