 mpdry purchases In magnificent shops Tbe huge conglomeration of sights

 she felt distinct wave of relief when they were Granville bound once more.
 Tn week they were settled com fortably in a domiclle of their own five rooms in an up-to-date apartment house. And since the social demands on Mrs William Wagstaff's time grew space, capable maid and cook were added to the Wagstaff establishment. Thus she was relieved of the onus of housework. Her time was wholly her own, at her own disposal or Bills. as she elected.
 But by imperceptible degrees they came to take diverse roads In the swirl Of life which had caught them up. There were so many little woman af- fairs where man was superfluous. There were others which Bill flutly re- used to attend. Hen parties" he duooed them. More and more he re- malned at home with his books.
