My husband and I have quarrelled be- cause of his apparent indifference as to how his home and he himself looks In the first place, Paul smokes, and no smoker is thoroughly tidy. Then he 18 not as careful about his personal clean- liness as I think a gentleman should be. To be sure, I have not had much ex perience with men, as my father died when 1 was a mere child, and 1 had nc brothers. Bo it was hard for me to be cigers sake of come accustomed to the odor of and clgarettes, But for the husband, 1 tried to do this I am naturally very neat, and it makes me acutely uncomfortable to see things in_disorder. Soon after our marriage we moved to the suburbs and bought a new cottage All our furniture was pretty and dainty Paul seemed as proud of our belongings as 1 was. So It waa a distinct disappoint- ment to me to note how little pains he took to keep things immaculate. First of all, he bought a dog. Now, I am fond of animals, and the thought of having & dog on guard when | was at home alone was comfortable. But I sup- posea that the creature would be kept out of doors When will you Ket his kennel?' 1 aaked on the day of Rover's arrival “He won't need a kennel,’' my hus- band informed me, “He will spend most of his time on the veranda “But In muddy weather dirty he will got place “In stormy weather he can into the house,” my husband remarked. “He is too valuable a dog to be left out at night in all weathers.” think how 1 ventured. come I looked at the thoroughbred English setter, and reflected that he was cer tainly an ornament to any houscheld So I offered no further protest at th time, It was autumn, and with the first cold, rainy evening Rover scratched for ad- mittance on our new front door. Paul smiled as he saw the marks of the dog's nails on the polished wood. “Come [n, you rascal!” he called, open- ing the door. “You're as wet as a drowned rat. He spoke the truth. The dog had been running through the woods not far frqm our cottage. He now made stralght. the open fire, in front of which he pro- ceeded to shake himself vigorously, the drops from big shaggy hair fiying in all directions. ‘Oh, Paul!” 1 exclalmed. “This is too much! Just look at my pretty furniture.” But Paul only laughed. That is his way, ‘That is also the way that he took my comments on his smoking and many other untidy habits. When he was a boy his mother must have let him do just as he pleased. He was her only son. Perhaps that accounts for his carelessness It seems a small thing to quarrel about, doesn’t 1t? Yet, after a while, T found conditions almost unbearable. Our living room was finished in white enamel paint. Dur rugs and hangings were in an exquis- | ite shade of dull blue. Tt was an ideal room. At least, that is the way it was when we were first married. Later, when my husband's dog was not lying on my one white fur rug in front of the fire, my husband’s muddy boots were drying there. He liked to tramp in all weathers, and when he came In, he would throw his damp mackin tosh one on chair, his wet hat on an- other, and, stretching himself out on the couch, with his head on the delicate- colored cushions, proceed to light his vigar, and smoke, dropping the ashes about promiscucusly. Then, when din- ner was announced, he would go into the dining room and sit down at the table In hie rough clothes, his hair unbrufhed, his hands unwashed. I stood this for one year. At the be- ginning of our second winter in the coun- try, T had a long talk with Faul. 1 told him how unhappy his ways made me and begged him to be more careful. e seemed Impressed by my talk, which 1 made as xentle and conciliatory as I could, and promised to try to comply with my wishes. With my own momey I had the rugs cleaned, the sofa cushions recovered, the floors “dcne over,” and the whole house | put in perfect order. Then I went away for a vigit a friend In the city. | returned on Sunday afternoon instead of waiting un- til Monday afternoon, as I had planned Ali the way home I was thinking how different our little home would be now that Paul was golng to be more careful It was a bitter cold day, and, as T took the village stage from the railroad tion, T pictured my husband's happy surprise at my arrival. | also fanciel how cosy and inviting the cottage would look, But when ] entered softly, I stopped short in dismay. My husband's muddy foot-prints and the dog’'s equally muddy tracks were everywhere. Paul wore no collar, and he had evidently not been shaved since my departure. He had had two bottles of beer brought into the lv. Ing room that morning, and the “empe ties” and a glass still stood there. The place smelt of stale beer, cigar butts and weot dog’s hide, My husband laughed at my exclamation of disappointment. He always laughs 4t such things. Then he kissed me.

But the falaity of this notion (whieh no evolutionist entertained or taught) is suffiolently indicated by the fact that the apes and monkeys are our contempo- raries. The teaching of sclence I that they are, physically, a collateral and in- ferior branch of the order of animals to which man belongs. The stmple fact Is that men and apes have been evolved from some common ancestor different from both, That an- cestor has not yet been surely identitied Its fossll remains may, nevertielsss, be somewhere embedded in the earth's rich crust.
