It took only one glance to see that she was pretty. "Who are you?" asked Whittler. "I'm your wife." "My wife! Why, I never aw you before."

"My dear girl." he exclaimed, "I'm not used to this sort of thing. I'm a hard working business man. You're a woman and should look after these matters. You cook, and I'll wait." "Not one bit of it! I'm not that sort jjjg countrv. or a wue. 1 m not a cooKing wue. 1 m attractive and bright and young. You elected me, didn't you? When you said you wished you had me for a wife you didn't recuire a list of things I could do." "Certal.ly not; but, my dear girl, one takes certain things for granted." "Well, you arc a soft one!" she ex claimed. "Here you agree that you are disappointed in the wife you have, and, Just think, out of all the women in the whole town that you see you pick me to take her place, and now that you've got me you are not satisfied. If that isn't like a man!" "But," replied Whittler, "this is all bo sudden. Jf 1 only had time to think it over. Perhaps we could have arranged for a preliminary trial" She stopped him short. "A preliminary trial!" she exclaimed. "And what, pray, do you think of me? Here I am, un attractive, stylish young girl, with loads cf admirers, obliged to be tied down to an old baldheaded codger like you!" "I'm not baldheaded!" "Well, y.iu're almost, and you'll be en tirely before 1 get through with you. I aay, what do you think of me? I sup pose about all you expect from me is to run after servants, make beds, mend your clothes and be a household drudge in stead of going to matinees and balls and parties. Well, I'll fool you. I'll have all the fun I want, and you'll pay for it." "Am I dreaming or not?" he groaned. His new wife caught him by the few remaining hairs of his head. He wa actually beginning to hate her cordially. "Yes," she exclaimed, "you are dream ing. And the best of it is that you can't wake up." "But I must wake up." "Nonsense! Haven't you selected me for a life partner? And aren't you obliged to stick by me? I Just guess you are!" She poked him in the stomach. "But I shall die if I don't have some thing to eat. I feel a ter'ible gnawing." "No; you won't die. I'll keep you alive." "If ym touch tne m holler." Whittler tried in vain to halloo and waa Just about to give it up when he felt Borne one shaking him violently. He opened his eyes. His own dear wife looked at him sympathetically. "There!" she said. "That's what one of those club dinners has done for you. Was it awful?" Whittler put his arms around her in the very ecstasy of love. "Darling." he murmured, "it wa the worst nightmare I ever had hut I de served it!" Fun With a Candle. Grown people as well as children will get a great deal of pleasure out of the following tricks: 1. Put a nail in the end of a can dle, and set it in a glass of water. The nail will hold the candle steady and it will burn until nothing re mains, always rising above the sur face of the water by reason of the decrease in weight. 2. Take a small picture cut from a paper or book, and wrap it lightly ronnd a candle. Light a match or another candle, and hold the name near until it becomes transparent. Unrap the picture and every one will be surprised to find it printed on the candle. 3. Put a candle unlighted into a basin full of water. Let several tiy to take it out with their mouths, not. touching the candln with their hands, h very one will fail. Ihen you put your face in the water, and when your mouth is near the end of the candle, draw in a deep breath, and the suction of the water will draw the candle into your mouth. 4. Allow some drops from a light ed candle turned upside down to fall into a basin of cold wter. The grease will form flower?. String these on the end of a wire add green leaves made from paper, and a very interesting plant will be the result, 5. Heat piece of wire and stick it through the middle of a candle. Make a wick at both ends. Bal ance the candle on two tumblers. Light the wicks, and the dropping ot the candle grease will make the candle seesaw, getting faster and faster as it grows hotter. This is a very pretty experiment and will cause a great deal of amusement to old and young alike. Exchange.
