Daphne was one of the yvoung, un-| married, drinking set before she set- tled down with Tom in a three-room apartment. In those days she in- sisted. that she simply must drink when she went out, because she was 50 bored with all the men she knew, she had to have some kind of stim- | ulant to cheer her up. A lot ef people listened to her line of applesauce, and felt rather sorry | for her. oo bad that a young girl should be so hard up for congenial friends she'd have to take to drink about it. Then along came Tom and even Daphne couldn’t look bored when he was around. She fell heavily for him and they were married shortly after. For a while Daphne ran around telling every one what perfect peace and happiness she'd found—how she and Tom just sat gnd read together in the evenings, never wanted to go out, were perfectly happy just being together. It made a beautiful picture, and peo- | pie approved of the young couple. Then some old pals of D's hit town and she gave a few parties for them. Because they were wild young people she told me she simply had to have drinks for them. Otherwise they wouldn't appreciate her party at all. That party started our Daphne thinking. She’d had such a good time that night, why not arrange to give one of those friendly informal brawls just once a month? That wouldn't hurt anybody and it would keep Tom and her from getting old-fashioned and dull. They started right out with a nice brawl every month, and in no time at ail they'd collected a whole crowd of gay young folks who invited them more and more | often to other informal parties. | | under | H have a long time waited in vain for | another human PUGG THE MONKEY BY JOSEPH ADDISON Joseph_Addison is usually associated with Ri d St preparation of the so- Which anpeared ‘1 ¢ newspaper.
