Mrs. Sarventor smiled sweetly at him over her workbasket. "Oh!" he exclaimed suddenly, j "What do you think? Williugton has i backed out of that little stag party at Itenford's.

Good sense must in many cases determine good breeding; because the same tiling thftt would be civil at one time, and to one person* may be quite otherwise at another tirae and to another person, but there \re some general rules of good breeding that hold always true and in all cases.?Chesterfield. Frankly Selfish. "Well, I guess not," Bald Sarventor. "What kind of a party Is this, Edward?" asked Mrs. Sarventor presently, as she threaded a needle. "Oh, Just men, you know." "Are they nice?" "It depends on what you call nice. It Isn't like a pink tea." "I suppose you will all smoke like chimneys and play cards. Well, of course, you will go If you want to." "Why, certainly." "You needn't be cross about it, Edward. I'm not cross." "I don't see any reason why you should be." "I might not like it, though. I wouldn't wonder a bit If they played cards for money?and that's gambling." "Why, Adeline! Suppose It was a ?-- penny ante- -enough Just to- give an interest to the game?" "The principle is the same. But of course my narrow views needn't stand in the way of your having a good time." "Oh, thunder!" "Now, you are losing your temper. Well, we won't say anything more about it. You've made up your mind that you'll go whether I like It or not or whether it's right or wrong. I wouldn't say a word for the world to displease you. You know 1 wouldn't, Edward. I don't like to have you cross." "But my dear!" "No. we won't say anything more about It. And then you'll be tempted to smoke more than is good for you. I know you won't break your promise to me, but?" "What promise?" "About smoking more than one cigar In un evening." "Nonsense! You aren't talking reasonably, my dear. You Just don't want me to go." "No, I want you to go. If you prefer the society of a set of horrid cardplaying men to your wife's I ought not to complain. I ought to be g-g-glad." "Why, Adeline, my dear!" j*o, i m not. xou know I'm not. Yon dud-dud-don't love me." "Of coarse, I do. You know perfectly well I do." Mrs. Sarventor put aside her husbnnd's caressing hand and dried her eyes. Then she saltl: "This Is very foolish of me, Edward. I ought to be ashamed of myself, and I am, too. Of course, you must go. dear. You know, I would never oppose you In anything. We've been married over a year now and, of coarse, I ought not to expect that you wouldn't get Just a little tired of a silly girl in all that time." "Dearest," said Sarventor. "how can you say such absurd things? Tired of you I" "I suppose If I had made our little home more attractive?" "You've made It a little paradise." "And of course you miss all your old bachelor habits." "Miss nothing. 1 know when Fm well off." "Then why," demanded Mrs. Sar ventor, "are you so crazy to go to this horrid stag party?" "I'm not crazy about It I don't know that I'd go if I hadn't promised j ?at least I half promised" "Then you won't go? Oh, good I" "Not if you don't want me to, dearest." "Oh, but I don't want you to stay at home Just because you know I'd he hnrt if you went. I want you to do exactly as you please. You'd better go, perhaps, dear." "Well, I don't want to," said Sarventor. "I want to stay and spend the . ?retting with you, and that settles it" I -0. ? wv AVUI UIUWAIJ IMttV he'd find some excuse to crawl out." "I don't like you to bet, dear," said Mrs. Sarventor, gently. "1 know," returned Sarventor, slightly confused. "But?er?well, anyway, he didn't take me up." "Do you mean that Mr. Hlnckly Isn't going to pay you the money you won?" "Of course not. He didn't bet." "Well, I think he ought to pay, anyway, If you bet him. But I'm glad you had the $5 you could afford to lose, because it's just the amount I want. Hand It over. Edward, please." Sarventor ruefully extracted a $5 bill from his pocketbook and threw It Into the workbusket with the remark that that just left him carfare. "How would you like to have It said that your husband stood In terror of you. little woman?" he asked Jocularly. "I wouldn't like it at all," replied Mrs. Sarventor, promptly. "I believe in a man doing what he pleases as long as he doesn't misconduct himself. I'm not an advanced woman like Mrs. Wlllington, you know." "No, you're not. by George!" said her husband, admiringly. "Besides, I know you wouldn't stand dictation," laughed the lady.
