the bottom of the bill was: The florist

not received a basket Of flowers.
This put an entirely different COM
plexion on the fool gift
You could see. old scout, how much
chance 1 would have had, after she
had seen that bill. of making Leslie

Paula now when I told her of the
tender passages between us before
marriage and she had proof that

Good Lord. sgd, I never dreamed
that there were so many things that
you had to look out for when you got
married A man has to mind his
p's and as even with Leslie. who up
to date has not shown any signs of
being jealous
I have very decided notion, how
ever. that when Mrs. Leslie Prescott
decides Mr.. John Prescott is paying
the slightest personal attention to
any other woman, Mr.. John Prescott's
name will be Dennis"
Then to cap the climax. I had a
letter from mother the other day in
which she plaintively asked me for
money and lays it all to poor Leslie's
extravaganza that I have not sent her
any since I married.

maid Bradford's dirty work.

DEAR sgd:

DEAR sgd:
You are a friend, I'll tell the
world. I didn't care what you called
me after I saw the check. It made
quite a substantial payment on my

quently I was able to give. the firm

ethics, however. and I have a great

wonder what Leslie would do if
Paula should send them to her. (She
laughingly promised to do so the other
night II I neglected her.)
Sometimes 1 am ready to make a
clean breast Of 1t to my wife. I
really should have done so the other
night when Leslie, apropos to some
thing we were talking about, said
that she did not think either a hus-
band or wife had any business with
the others past; all one could ask
Of the other was that the present and
future be his or hers in Hike devotion,
loyalty and trust.
I really should have told her then,
but that very day that asinine florist
had sent his bill to the house instead
Of my office and on It was the SIS
she had stung me for a basket Of
flowers. I had sent it to Paula when
she had written me a sad little letter,
saying she was sick and asking me
