If that blankecty blank house is sold before my return, you have permission to order for yourself as handsome a l'avalier as your dear little heart desires.” *“Oh, you angel man. dying for one for ages,” exclaimed Mrs. Morse, throwing her arms around her husband’s neck. “Don’t count your l'avalier before it's ordered!"” warned Mr. Morse. A few days later Marjory, Mrs. Morse's sister, came rushing into the house, saying, “Sis, I think your sub- urban house is going to be sold! Con- gratulations!" “What makes you have sith an idea?" eagerly asked Mrs. Morse. “I slept at Dorothy's last night. On my way home I passed the house and saw three ladies, a man, a child and a dog standing on the porch. The man was busily engaged writing some- thing on a piece of paper. And it all looked pretty businesslike to lne.’ Aren’t you glad that at last you are going to get rid of that elephant of a house?” “I should think I am. Simply de- lighted. It's too good to be true. Mar- jory, where did Dorothy purchase her new l'avalier?” Early the next morning Mrs. Morse telepkoned to her friend that it would be impossible to keep the luncheon date with her, owing to a most impor. tant engagement. Then she told the maid to attend to all the household duties, as an unforseen errand called her away in great haste. Her con- cert ticket for that afternoon she sent to a nmeighbor. Then Mrs. Morse or- dered a taxi to take her to the depot. As she boarded the suburban train which was to take her to the “old” house she said to herself: “If that husband of mine had a grain of sense he would have told me the new agent's name. Then I could have telephoned instead of taking this unnecessary trip. Men are so care- less.” Her loag trip was rewarded, how- ever, wlen on arriving at the house ske discovered that the “For Sale” 8ign had beeen removed. “Goody! Goody!" she exclaimed. “Didn’t I tell Dick that I had a feeling it would be sold while he was gone? He'll be so glad. I'll wire the news at once, Then for downtown to order my | long-wished for I'avalier.” The next morning Mrs. Morse rec- ecived an answer from her husband, stating: “Order 'avalier! 1 celebrat- ed the sale last night with Bob, Love, | Dick.” The following day the new agent | telephoned 1o Mrs. Morse. He said: | “I just received a letter from your hus- | band that is quite puzzling to me.

The | next day the ‘For Sale' was down. Conaequently, I thought it was sold.

The ‘For Sale’ sign had been pressed into use as & snow shovel by some boys. Later, it was found a few blocks from the house. Up to the present date, as far as I know, the house is not sold.

Nothing would please me more than to have you pigk out the right sort of girl and settle down in your own comfortable little home.

Why, I would be a seltish, horrid creature if I didn’t want you to be happy! 1 can't ima~ gine why you shouid have got such an idea in your head!
