She was just completing a purchase at the handkerchief counter and was re- ceiving from the saleasirl a small parcel and some change. “A ftw more strides would have brought him up to her: but 4 women just in front’ of him suddenly discov- ered euch others’ presence and went into raptures and embraces over the happy quadruple meeting. The flow of shoppers toward the door was blocked by the quartet—an inextricable tangle ensued, and Arthur, “a run around the end.” Several minutes elapsed before he could get through to the handkerchief counter, By the time he reached It the Girl In Red had departed. He scanned the crowd eagerly for a glimpse of her. but In vain. As a last resort he turned to the salesgirl. “Can you tell me?"— he began, then stopped. ‘The salesgirl was well worth a second A siender figure, almost too short for perfect beauty, a rose leaf complexion, a mischlevously tin-tiited nose and big topaz eyes, a broad, low forehead crowned by masses of bronze colored hair: These would ordinarily have been enough to attract his gaze.

I was penniless.” “But why—but surely such a will would not stand in law. You contested {t, of course?” ‘No. If st was my father’s wish that his money’ should go elsewhere that wish is sacred to me, He loved me dearly and he must have had some good reason for disinhertting me.

It 4s all very well to make a merry | dest about providing for a husband all the comforts of home and adding the lights of a barroom, Good-natared Mery will not hurt the “catering” ‘wives, who apparently centre thelr Pthoughts in the region of their husband's ‘wppetite for a hearty supper when he Seumes’ home at night. And Evening World readers will not be apt to take geriously any of the many humorous presented which are so evidently t ‘just for fun." + FfAside {rom all the jesting and face- fiousness, the “sober earnest” shows inly through this contest.

He telongs to no club, for there 1s more comfort at home. Occa- sionally we go to the theatre, and I can truthfully say I have not spent a dozen evenings alone in eight years. I think it depends a great deal on the wife as to where her husband shall spend his evenings. She must be care- ful and let him think he is having his own way. And if he wishes to go out say “Yes, dear, it will do you good.” You will see how quick he changes his mind and stays at home. Mrs. G. L. H.

Dear Mrs. Ayer: HAVE (been married for five years and in all that time my husband has not been out over six nights in all alone. How to keep him home. is to make It pleasant and attractive when he comes, home ,and don't plok and quarrel for everything. Have a kind word for him always and you will keep him home with you at nights, Mrs. P, J. BOWEN, Purned the Tables on the Rover, Dear Mra, Ayer: AM a young woman and will tell you ] my remedy for keeping my husband home evenings. I was only mar- ried a short time. He would always have some place to go each vening. I'd go out and afterward tell him of the pleasant evening I spent in other gentlemen's company. So he took a Serlous thought that It would be more interesting for him to keep an eye on me inatead of forgetting that there were others besides himself, Now he is quite happy to stay home evenings with me.
