time, if all signs were true, his
heart was like a roaring furnace
in the laboratory Of love.
Her beautiful and gracious
Ladyship bravely and boldly
showed her satisfaction and in
tentions.. Where one was, the
otker very, very often would be.
The birds, the flowers and even
the gentle kline far from the mad
dening crowd, were playing &C.
compartments to the thrilling
songs of love.
There was some commotion,
you may rest assured, when her
fair and most gracious Ladyship
gave the boot to the shrimp-like
husband. He was bundled off to
his club, his mistress and his sor-
did task of picking up the pen
MES.
"a divorce and then wedding
bells!" exclaimed the sophisticat-
ed members Of her Ladyship's set.
It looked plausible, reasonable
and was the proper and custom
airy thing for a gentleman to do.
The sequel is almost too tragic
and saddening to relate.
Very recently, the slender, SER
ious, studious Joseph in the case
met young girl Of Duluth in the
SANITY City. She bore a name
that stands high in the Zenith
City. No one seems to have been
aware of any serious attachment
between the now sophisticated
Joseph and the innocent young
girl. They were married with no
more ceremony than the legal re-
quirements and then took the
first train for the National Capt.
tai. There, hand in hand, they
will begin their trudge up the hill
Of life, supported by what a fair
working knowledge of the law
may provide, and, perhaps, a bit
of produce from Father Jacobs
farm over in Virginia.
t This sequel comes like bolt
from the blue. Out in the East
End the Idle Rich have suspend
ed bridge games, turned down
golf and even neglected Red
Cross stunts so as to do justice
to one Of the greatest gossip
tournaments that ever came in
Dog Days.
