^^^^^^Vventor settled back comfortably i
His chair and lit the after-dinner |
^H^H^ar to which he bad limited himself
deference to his wlfeV fears that
he was injuring his health by excessive
smoking. 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. Ills wife wouldn't let him
go. Wouldn't that give you a nervous
chill? Adeline, If I had a wife
like that I'd be tempted to take a
club to her. I don't suppose he dares
open up his mouth around the house
without raising bis hand to ask permission.
He suys he's got another engagement,
but, of course, that's all

Birds Have Regular Routes.
Migratory birds are said to cross the
North sea by welUUeflned tracks. The
autumn immigrants tly frqm east to
west and northwest, their:; return in
spring being conducted over the same
lines in a contrary direction. The
first flights occur regulurly about the
middle of Octob*<?r and tha second a
month later. '

Daily Thought.
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

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.
We know one thoughtful grandmoth- I
er who frankly admits that she spoils |
the baby at every possible opportunity,
explaining In her philosophical
way that she knows perfectly well
she'll get the blame for It anyway and
might as well have the fun of doing It.

Short Stories in Abundance.
An industrious reader of short stories
has selected 20 as the best by American
authors of the 2,700 tales published
in 1916 in 70 periodicals. And
these 2,700 were probably the pick of
27,000 or more from which the editors
had to choose. Many are offered, but
few are chosen.

"The trouble with you, sir, Is?If you
will pardon me for saying so?that you

Commercial Value of 8oy Bean.
Oil mills on the Pacific coast have
been operating for several years with
soy beans imported from Manchuria
and have found a ready sale in that
region for the oil, cake, and other

Optical Illusion. i I
A freshninn In n New York university
who was asked to write a theme on ,,i
his first impressions of the city began *
with this: "The niostSunaclnK sight I h
ever saw was the skyscrapersaof New /
York crossing the Hudson rlfer on a i
ferryboat." Such optical illusions of _
relative motion ore not uncommon.?

An Eye for an Eye/*
"Lex tallonis" means the law of re- 11
tallatlon. It provided that the punishment
should he the same in kind as I
the crime. Thus we have the expressions,
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for
a tooth," "Whoso sheddeth man's
blood, by man shall hib blood be shed." 3
Many other expressions like these are
found in the Bible and elsewhere.

If you are afraid vjiite or ivory

consider the substitute of a very deep {
