The nov elist s attitude to his wife would be difficult to define completely, at any one time, or through its gradual changes. That they were true ana" loyal to each other seems certain; but two essentially and entirely dit ferent natures were "Incompatible" from the first, though they had many years of happy llge together, before they discovered this. Dickens was all flash and fire- Ms wife was relatively slow, and delib erate. He grew to love the glitter of the footlights and the applause of the public; she always ciung to tne hearth and the small circle of cronies. He was ad ifflcult man for any wire to live with enormously active and energetic, whimsical, changeable, and inconsistent; ag reat stickler for punctuality and regularity in some things, yet the greatest breaker of all rules and regulations when it pleased him' to do so. As life advanced, he grew more and more nervous, and needed greater change and distrac tion, which he sought in frequent travel ana a Dewuaenng variety or av-uve interests. -Mrs. uicKens, a motherly soul, could not appreciate or sympathize with the eccentricities of genius; she found his ways and habits and some of his friends much too meteoric and brilliant, while some of her own friends and rela tions irritated him to the verge ot desperation. He felt that she had not grown with his growth, but always tried, oh, so., very hard, to be consid erate and sympathetic. She showed long patience and perseverance, which at last became sullen and somewhat stubborn. Through all their life together, through all the long friction that ended in the separation, through the -gradually growing real ization by each of the impossibility of completely understanding the oth er, there still persisted a strong per sonal affection and feeling of loyalty, a bitter regret that conditions should have become strained. home of her sister, Mrs. George Han nah, on Tenth avenue.

"Play me that Doeblin rag," sang Maggie cowan, a rjeach of a blonde in a stylish dress and picture hat, as she sailed down Peachtree street last night, and stag gered into the first drug store. Quite a crowd iouowea to see wnai next. Maggie gave a wioe swipe wun hr beautifully gloved arm that sent half a dozen bottles of perfumery and hair-tonic crashing to the noor; tnen she pulled her picture nat down at a more rakish angle tnan ever, ana ue- gan singing again. By this timx it became quite ap parent that Maggie was having the time of her life. The only doubtful question was whether It was beer or champagne, or whiskey, or all three mixed. . ... After she had entertained tne crowd for some ten minutes, a. pouceman, summoned by the druggist, appeared on the scene. Now poucemen m At lanta have tb know an awrui ioi. Ana this policeman did.He took one hor rified look at Maggie, and then he arrested her, did he not? Answer, he did not. He hurriedly wnisperea some thing in the druggist's ear, and Mag gie was shown a seat in the rear of th establishment. Then he hurriedly telephoned for a closed carriage, and to another address. When the closed carriage came, the policeman deffer entlally" assisted Maggie inside, and had her driven' straight to her per fectly respectable home on ave nue. This little story is. exactly true, except for one detail: The inebriate lady's name was not Maggie Cowan. If her real name were usea, wouiu make a better etory.
