"Mairied only c twelve- months, and loi \ find you dis solving in tears like a modern Niobe or an April snowdrift." "It's very foolish of me, I dare suy," assented Mrs, Percy Essex, with spurk ÜDg eyes and a suppressed quiver in her voice. "But you must not chide j me, Lydia, I ; Miss Lydia frowned tragically. "I huvo no sympathy for people who are eternally whimpering," said she. Mrs Essex lmng her head, and toyed nervously with the fringe of her scar let wool breakfast shawl. She was a ; rose-cheecked, dimpled little matron, i with dark, pzure-gray eyes, a small, heart-shaped month, and hair of a dull chestnut brown, twisted in n sort of a coronal about her head. i M d happy." •'Oomo, now, leave oil orying," ad ded Miss Lyel, who was a severe look ing tpineter in a dress of mouse-co lored serge with a string of Roman j gold beads about her throat, and a voice liko the rev rberations of dis tant artillery, "and tell me the cause of all this tearfulness. I'm a veritable old mother confessor, 'you know." But Violet Essex's head only drop ped the lower, and a vivid coloring suffused her cheeks. , , j " No more silly nonsense, now," burst in Miss Lydia again. "Hold up what ails you, your head und tell and how it came about. I'll stake my bead that Percy's at the bottom of the whole affair," Percy 's wife assented by the iule of silence. "No doubt he's grown penurious, or— or dictatorial, may-bo." "Oh, no!" "Or dissipated, or extravagant, or even unkind." "No." • Perhaps he's jealous of you." "Jealous of me—my Percy?" And Mrs. Essex laughed in spite of her self. "Well, what ails you, then?" de manded Mies Lydia, completely non plussed. "I scarcely know myself," admitted Mrs. Essex, "except that I unhappy, and that Peroy has changed very greatly since "It is the usual way with dear." commented Miss Lydia, dolor ously. "To be sure, I don't expect him to be a lover always;" pursued Mrs. Essex. "But I oertainly do expect him to treat me as well as he does other women' and not ignore me entirely when in their presence." "The. same old, old story!" put in Miss Lyel.

And oh, Lydia-! you don't know how mortifying it was to ait there in that odd corner, and listen to old Mrs General MuGrail, who is as good as any newspaper in town, tell a select ootcrio of her friends how Percy and Miss Pritchard had been betrothed once upon a time, and would have been husband and wife ere this tout for a foolish lover's -quarrol that estranged and seperated them." "Decidedly humiliating," said Miss Lydia, contracting her straight brows "Just what I thought mvaelf," said Mrs. Essex. away "And told him I hope." "Oh, yes; bat only to have him say Mrs. Generul MeGrail waö an old fool, And that I was unreasonable and ex pected too much." "Unreasonable fiddlestioks!" said Miss Lydia, shortly. "It's nothing more nor less than brutality in him, my dear, and You're a very great goose to submit to his tr eatment, to say nothing of crying about it." "But what can I do?" asked Mrs. Eesex, piteously. "A great many things," said Miss Lydia, epigram uiutic lly. "I'm not the person to make trouble between husband »ud wife," said Miss Lyel, after a moment's hesitation; "nut if I were in yuuc plaoe, I'd play i my recreaut lord a game of 'tit lor ^ tat.' la other 1 •a, t'd do precisely what he docs, and it Le didn't cry for quarter within a Week's time, I've « wrong estimate of his sex." * T— I—don't quite understand you.

Mrs.Essex wiped her eves and stared hard at Miss Lydia. "But—it would be unwomanly." "Only so far as it is unmanly in him. My dear, there is a certain threadbare old saying worth a thousand of your new-fangled axioms: It's a poor rale that won't work two ways,' I think it suits the case admirably." "I believe I will attempt it," said Mrs. Essex.
