HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

A New York woman has just
brought suit for divorce on the ground
that her husband is so annoying she
finds it impossible to live with him
without becoming a nervous wreck"
and one OF the faults she finds Is that
he requires her TO pick up his gar
ments and TO gather up his soiled col
lars" to which hubby replies that
he deems personal services OF a
wife to be a part OF the duties impos-
ed by the marriage contract thereby

she hasn't come; Peters staying

of the theaters. Shes coming down

made comical little grimace. You
mean that I'm not welcome alone?'

again, though there was little note
of anxiety in her voice. But wish
you had brought her. Phil should
like to have seen her. Besides ..
won't people think II strange, dear?

Philip frowned.
What does it matter what people
say? It's such twaddle =.
She released him slowly.
"One has to mind what people say,
whether it's twaddle OF not" she
said with a little wavering smile.
Resides Phil, do you know
that your father and I were never
separated for one single day? He
never went away without me. And
= well. of course, 1 never

Philip laughed rather constrain-

And very nice, too" he said. But
things are different now, you
know, mother. Besides-everything
all right-Eva could have come II
she liked. She's got Peter there. She
said she would rather stay with
him"
Mrs. winterdick knew Philip too
well to argue with him, and she
saw that he looked harassed and I'M
happy.
"If I could only have seen Eva"
she thought. She felt now that she
could have spoken to IVA frankly.
She had often wished since they left
the Highway House that she had
done so before.
But she was glad to have Philip
home. They went the round of the
gardens together. her hand through
Philips arm and sometimes his arm
round her waist.

err" he asked once. But he knew
that he did not mean that; he knew
that they could never even attempt
to turn back the page.
Wherever he was, and whatever
he was doing now, IL was of his wife
that he constantly thought. Where
was she? What was she doing? He
wished now that he had not left her.
He hated to think OF her at the
apartments without him; hated to
think that no doubt Calligan was
there, too.
When they got back to the house
he went to the study to write to her.
He began a dozen sheets and tore
them all up. He had never written
her a letter in his life. How did a
man begin to write to wife who
was Indifferent to him? he wondered.
He was sitting there biting the end
OF his pen when Mr.. Dennison was
announced.
Philip felt himself getting red.
Mr.. Dennison came in smiling,
with outstretched hand.

us know you were coming? l only
