In apite of her fi nancial condition, she had set her eyea and her l.eart upon a certain i light-blue creation In the establiah-1 ment of one wboae wi.idowa bore the cryptic legend. "Luclie, Hobes et Manteaui." Whether tha garment in question was a "robe'' or a "man 1 t?au" I should be bard p-*s?ed to telli . ou. but eufflce it to say ihat it was: a dream of aometbing over B-->mething else, and prlnceaae," wb?:erer that may chance u> re. Trincesse gowns set off her slight figure to perfection, and S'eve had always adored her ha I light blue. Therefore, she had gone so far as to have it tried on. and had found that it fitted beautifully?aa though it were predt-itiuea for her. she thought. "Just a very few alterations."

He had trouble with the twelfth hook, and gave it a tug to bring it into place. Just as he succeeded, the fire hooks above came undone simultane-, ously. When he turned to discipline the first of these, the rout became general, and he bit back an excla- j mation. Manfully he set to work to J rally bis forces, and virtuously foughtj down an inclination to let the eyes go. and fasten the hooks in the lace on the back of the dresa. Two more and the Job would be finished. But, 'here was trouble s'ill in store. One of these hooks had been bent flat, and in atfemptinr to remedy this he j ran it tinder his thumb nail and, swore. "What makes yon take so long, and why are you swearing so?" asked Mrs. Hayward. Now, this is hardly the mos; tactfui way to address a long suffer)n? man, who has been s'ruggling with a re? fractory gown for several minutes. But the memory of the modiste s win? dow rankled, and she did not stop to think. It ?ar a match to the maga? zine of her husband's temper He drew a long breath and replied with unnecessary beat: "I take a long time because of the idiotic construction of woman's clothes Why any dresa should be made so that nobody but a contor? tionist could faaten it is beyond my powere of reason. If you bad a lady's maid, and were an absolutely help leas woman, dependent on her to drees you entirely, thin one thing would make very li"le real difference. But In your case.

"Of course not, Jenny, dear. And I'm awfully?" "Thank you. that ia all I wished to say." Weil, if she was t-oing to act that way. he could not help it. He had tried to make it up. and he had been snubbed for his pains. For that mat ter, be could show her that be had some pride, too. So thought Mr. Hayward. beginning to get aogry again, and, what waa worse, to pity himaelf. It was a miserable meal indeed. Hardly a word was apoken and then only wben the waitress was in the room. Small use the agreement not ! to quarrel "before the servants." The strained ailence spook louder than re? proaches: and. therefore, the cynical Delta, aged nineteen, remarked to the cook: "They're at it at last, aa I've been aayin' this month gone. Can't help quarrelin . these married people; they're all alike."

The importunities of a bore, who insisted on talking about the political outlook, drove him out into the night again, where at least he could be aicn,* IV glanced at his watch, and found .% was only half past nine. It seemed an age since he had left her. Oh, what was the use; he might aa well go home, anyway This decision was a grave mistake, because if he had stayed out a couple of hours longer, he would have car ried all before him in his contrition of spirit, and a reconciliation would have been inevitable. As it was. he returned to an atmosphere which was. to all outward appearances, un? changed, and he could not guess what had been going on just after he left Silence brooded over the flat.

How boring it must be to be cooped up In a lonely fl:.t ail Uav, and have to attend to the thousand and one trying detail* of housekeeping? He must be good to her to make up for it. "I tell you. a man doesn't always realize bow fine his wife is," he muttered. He shot a guilty glance in the di? rection of his office-boy. but that in? dustrious youth was deep in a volume of lurid covers. Hay ward leaned over and kissed the photograph. And so it happened, when young Mr Hay ward's latchkey sounded his approach from the hall door, his wife was there to meet him. With her two little hands upon his shoulders, snd h*r eyes cast down, she whispered softly: S'rie d?ar. * went out to Starr tc WheeJee'a this afternoon, and go a dress that hb-buttoned all down toe f.>nt, but the horrid store people haven't sent it, thought I made them p-promiee."
