"I happened to read in the paper that sugar has gone, away up in price, and for that reason candy is more expensive. I just think you are extravagant to keep bringing me a pound every time you rail." "I am glad to do it. darling," avows Reginald. "I know you are but you must learn to be economical. Papa told mamma to buy sugar by the barrel and get it cheaper, so maybe you would better buy candy for me the same way." Man's Preference.

"Fanny, you've been lording it over me for for the past month, ever since your engagement to Edward Brooks. But you can't do it any more," said her friend Mildred Thomas, holding out her left hand with a blush. Fanny Upton seised it and dragged her friend into the light. On Mildred's third finger sparkled a diamond in a platinum ring. "Mildred!" excliamed Fanny, kissing her. "Who is it?" "I mustn't tell you." answerd Mildred. "Now don't he angry, dear, because you shall he the very tirst per-, son to know. It's a sacred promise? for certain reasons." "Oh. I'm sure I don't want to know. Mildred." said Fanny coldly, releasing the hand she held. "Oh yes you do. Fanny. Now don't be cross. Listen! We're going to have an engagement party on Saturday night, and It will be announced then. And you are to come and be told first. See?" Fanny was mollified a litttle. "Well, if you thins it's worth making a secret of to please your fiance, all right." she said. "But you know very well he has secrets he hasn't shared with you." "Fanny!" cried Mildred Thomas Indignantly. "Of course he has. goose. Don't you suppose he has been in love dozens of times?rapturously in love, jinn never ioui yon a word or it Fanny," said her friend indignantly, "l\e told tne that he has tie\er been in love in his life before. He has never kissed any girl but me." ~"l?ooh!" said Fanny mockingly. I "Now Kriward knew 1 was too sensible to fall for that sort of yarn and he confessed. But he didn't tell me all. No, sir. and I'm going to find out a | whole lot more before 1 marry him." j Mildred remained coldly silent. I "Oh, Mildred, here's a joke." said her versatile friend. "Now are you IB "Mr. George Howard, Miss Upton." game for it? Let's each write a letter ! to our fiances, saying, "I have found out everything and shall expect you to explain?if you can.' What a joke that would be. Picture the poor men's faces! Will you, Mildred?" "It seems a shame," murmured Mililred. "But 1 couldn't bear to think he bad deceived me. Are you sure he j has. Fanny?" "Mv dearest girl, of course he has. ..... . r ~ iiow oiu 18 ne: rwenty-eigpt: Ana never kissed anyone but you? Mildred, you certainly are simple. And now'a the time to show him you aren't as simple as he thinks, and he'll think all-the more of you for it. Is it a bar gain?" It was. It was not without many ; misgivings that Mildred Thomas ' mailed her letter to George Howard. but Fanny's hints were eating into j her soul like vitriol. She must know, j now. whether her lover ever had been in love before. That would be dreadful. Still she might i'orgive it. but she could never forgive deceit. When ' the letter was mailed she wanted It back, and all that day and the next she listened in terror for the postman's whistle. On the third day, Friday, the answer came?a hasty, incoherent letter, full of self-accusations and reproaches. "I shall tell you about what you refer to when I call tomorrow evening." he wrote. | "and 1 shall come half an hour before the party, in the hope of gaining your forgiveness before the guests arrive." Mildred was looking her prettiest when George Howard -arrived. He looked so haggard and mournful that she could hardly find words with which to greet him. Bitterly now she repented having been persuaded l>y Fanny to play that foolish joke. Hut she must play her part through. They sat down very soberly side by side in the empty reception room. "I'm going to tell you everything. Mildred." said George humbly. "I did not wilfully deceive you, for it was only because 1 had put the memory of that mad summer, two years ago. out of my mind and heart, and dared not recall it. even to myself. She was the only woman before you." "Go on," murmured Mildred, and to her consternation she discovered that \ tn^tun^^CTieT^^snould^^W^n^M again, to ask her to fulfill her promit^H "Well, the upshot was that she hi^H Imagined me to be a cousin of inir^H Oarflelil Howard, the wealthy man^f faeturer.
