She did not seem to no- tice that some of the glances were freighted with dislike. If she had she doubtless would have taken the dis- like as a sort of tribute. She did not wonder that the poor things were en- | vious and jealous. At least that 18 how Mrs. Spenger ! explained it.

It was not In human nature to be otherwise than displeased that one could not come back at Mrs. Talleck gloriously and show her that her hus- band wasn't so much after all, In the first place, Mrs. Talleck’s hus- band was a remarkable looking man. Mrs. Talleck told them all about how when she first married him she was frequently embarrassed by the atten- tlon he attracted. “And it happens yet!" she confided to them. “If you could see the way the women look at him! But I don’t blame them. I don't see how they could help it. He has the most won- derful eyes—they seemed to draw one. There {s something overpowering about him. 1 suppose you would call it personality. The minute that man steps into & room—I don't care how crowd- ed it is—everybody feels his presence. It s comical to see how everybody stops talking and turns toward him. It is enough to make a woman proud, I can tell you!" “Yes, Indeed!” sald Mrs. Bryden po- litely, because Mrs. Talleck looked at her expectantly when she stopped speaking. “It must be lovely!” Mrs, Bryden had heretofore been quite sat- isfied with her own husband, but now with a little twinge she recollected that never in her whole married ca- reer had she had the joy of witnessing a whole roomful of people paralyzed by the entry of John. Everybody had always talked right on as though noth- ing much had happened. A BOLLAR WILL DO *THE WORK OF TWO.
