You can get so used to having one around the house that you miss her as you would your morning coffee or your evening news- paper if she doesn't happen to be there. This awful discovery was forced on me at the club last night. There were five of us there, having a quiet, peace- ful little game, in our shirt-sleeves, and sipping cooling lquids between whiles, We were a happy, care-free, Inno- cent, mirthful party, until the walter came in with a telegram for Carteret—the “married man.” We all sighed sympathetically—for, although the rest of us were buchelors, we understood, Carteret tore off the wrapper hastily and, as he read, his face gradually dropped its careworn expression and became wreathed with amiles. * “Is she going to stay away Oberly, delicately : 6," exclaimed Carteret in tones of mingled relief HELEN and joy. “By Jove, boys, she's coming home—coming home ROWLAND = TO-MORROW! Pless hi And he waved the telegram aloft. Then he pushed the cards from him, wiped his brow, and rose with the crumpled paper in his hand. It's no use!" he said, pacing up and down. ‘The bluff ts up!

We looked at each other tn pitying incredunty "O° course," continued Carteret, “they MAY fer! lke that for the first day Or even the first week; but after th pride.

And there's nothing like a few weeks of poker parties and getting your own breakfasts and living on a restaurant diet to make you yearn for a good home-cooked steak and baked potatoes. And there's nathing like a few fool flirtations with fool summer giris to make you eppreciate the one woman in the world you cared enough for to marry, either. “Oh, yes, {t's all very lovely to be able to go home at any time of night you Uke, and get up when you want to, without being called and prodded.
