O you “accept” your CONGE! Won't you kindly wait until you get it? Or are you, tn che popular, modern, masculine fashion, going to TAKE it by main force? I know that most men nowadays look forward to their dismissal after a flrtation with someching of the gentle anticipation with which they await their black coffee after dinner, But it does seem rather like rushing things to ORDER it—in advance. Every man sets the alarm clock for the exact hour at which he expects to awaken from love's young dream—but do they ALL get up and shake the clock to make it go off before the time?,.Do you really mean (figuratively) to hold me up aud demand that I put the finish ing touches on our tender ludding romance?

Not while you are still willing’ and determined to quarrel with me, As long as a man has mergy enough to quar: rel with a woman it is a sign that he hasn't lost interest in her. 4t's when he begins to look at her with that ineulgent, faraway ez- pression, and to agree with everything she says, and not to notice her moods, nor to mind her little digs, nor to lie to her—when he REFUSES to argue with |er, in fact—that she may know that the tired feeling has crept in and the love light has gone out, So, while there's strife there's hope!
