\ "Th ec MRS. NAGG AND MR. —— By Roy L. M’'Cardell, es to Moet Her at the Ribbon Counter and Koops Her Waiting. ON'T speak to me, Mr, Nagg; don't look at D me! After the way you have acted this day I wonder you can look me in the face! All these years I hgve been patient and have endured neglect and abuse, but to be humil- lated as I have this day is too much! Didn't you promise to mest me at the ribbon counter at $8 o'clock and help me cariy some bundles home? You were there, you say? Oh, don't say that, Mr. Nagg! Do not attempt to deceive me! Neg-| lect mé 1f you will, make a show of me and humil- iate me, if it gives you any pléasure to do so, but) please do not tell me falsehoods to my face! Yon waited from # o'clock till 4.30, you gay? fl, suppose you did; couldn’t you have waited a few minutes longer? | ‘a few moments after 5, and if you had been through what 1) day you would not have been there at all, It is a pity you could aot wait just one minute or so for mo! ‘ How many weary hours do I wait in this house for you, night after night! Do you ever think of that? No, you do not! And why don't you think of it? Because I am foolish and silly enough, Mr, Nagg, never to say & word, because I put up with it, because I etand for it, because | carry It all off with a omiling face; and, just es I told Mrs. Terwiliger and Mrs. Gradley and Mrs, Dubb and my own dear mamma, I carry it off with a smiling face when my heart is breaking! How different men are! Men spend their time telling each other how | their wives ill-treat them, and pose as martyrs, and ask each other’s advice end gabble about their private affairs in bar-roome—oh, don’t deny it, Mr. Nagg. Mr. Dubb does it, and before Mr, Terwiliger went to Denver didn’t ‘ he go around everywhere pointing to the court plaster on his bald head and tell everybody that his wife struck him with a loving oup? T think men should have more pride than to gabble about their little family differences in public! What do other people care? They only laugh et you and that is all the sympathy you get! And to think that this ie _ ‘the kind of a man I have married! A man who keeps me waiting hour ’ after hour in a public store with floor walkers eying me suspiciously as ff I were a shoplifter, and snippy salesladies sneering at me and pointing me out to each other! But I didn't wait yesterday, you ony? Well, I have waited, Mr, Nace, and if I did not wait yesterday the principle of the thing is the same. | I thank goodness I am not like other women! There was Irene Swink, | the oldest of the Swmk girls that lived in the two-family house near us in| Brooklyn, whose little brother built a bonfire ip their dining-room election! might twelve years ago and burned the house up—oh, don’t say you do act} remember Irene Swiuk, the one that took vocal lessons for ten yoars end} ruined her volce with the Italian method, Well, she married a Mr, Switchel, and you know the mying, “Change the name and not the letter, you change for the worse and not the better,” and they got along terribly, and one day she was waiting for him near his! office and a handsome Wall street broker winked at her and two years later | sho eloped with 4 friend of the broker. i ; | 80 you see what comes of neglecting a good wife, Mr, Nagg!
