thos 0 moore i had juat adjusted my tie and was pre paring to leave when mother camo in going out ate you tom said sht 1 yes maam where to another partv 1 yes maam that makes three this week doesnt it tom yes maam wero huming to get through gom to take mist beaufort to night aud then im done with the jolly club parties mother somehow or other did not qeem to think verv much of what i said tom i wish vou would get married she ihad such a troubled face fi believe you could stay at home some well i am awful tired mother aud completely worn out theu why dont you quit it best reason in the world mothei i am neither engaged nor in love but i am willidg to be my mother is the best woman in the world oven if i do saj it mjaclf and 1 felt worried about her she was right i was out nearly every evening this evening at a reception next timo at ft ball then at a theatre party and so on of coarse i could afford it for my lalary as cashier at harts was a very liberal one but i wasnt saving a cent and my own home folks never saw me except at tho table even poor old patient mother was com plaining but i was having lots of fuu there was that beaufort girl she was a fine one could dance any kind talk anything you wanted and make you have tho finest time in the world then there was vcno wright she would take in tho baseball with a follow go rowing skating an thing for fun then veno had money that was an important item whyshouldnt i tackle miss yeue on the subject of matrimony thomas old son i said to mvself vene ia the one but vene somehow or other did not ex actly suit the case and ray mind reverted to miss beaufort miss beaufort was smart pretty stylish and suited better but i knew nothing about her financial standing thia was an important matter in those dtayb meanwhile the coupe had neared miss beauforts i had never been there before aud to my surprise found it to be a very unpretentious house i confess i was disappointed i expected to drive up to an elegant mansion be usher ed into a fine reception room with servants in livery and there await the coming of miss beaufort then i expected to make a bold dash for miss beauforts heart pro pose and poaaibly bo accepted or declined by the time the party was over but not so a little lady with grey hair opened the door and she was introduced to me by miss beaufort as mamma miss beaufort was ready and waiting so we walked out to the coupe mr silver said she dont you think there is a great amount of snobbery in so ciety and lots of downrigjit foolishness well yea said i 1 for instance she said here is au elegant coupe that you brought for me and yet the party is only two bldcks away this certainly was vety refreshing i had actually squandered five dollars to have this coupe for the evening and she did i not even as much as notice ijt i know vene would have enjoyed ia ride in it mr silver said she to me again this ia the last party i am going to thia i looked at shining iu he wasnt vory honestly no miss aaycd n cent salary too well bejiu she frequently i you and i impolite no sttiil i lam glad you take that much intcrobi iu me then we cl lauged the subject i had a splendid tin o at the party aud enjoyed miss boauforta company vory much i found her lc elheaded and bright if she was too frafil next day told mother about it she said that she admired miss beaufort for her comniou onse if she hadnt seen her then she rcf sired to my getting married again supposo said bhe you pretend for a week or so tl at yoifaro married and see how it goes 7 au imita ion wife said i l suppose baid she i will write the name of a yo iftg lady on a card seal it in an envelope ind you can lock it in your desk then lot us suppose that yoa are married to li sr say for two weekg daring that time i v ant you to act just as if tho lady were he in person arid your lawful wedded wife whoso n imo are you going to write on the card s tid i never m ud said she i will write my preferenc n and neither 61 ns will breathe a word about thia to a living soul we agreed on this mother wrote the name on the card and sealed the envelope j know it wa i vene wrights name so i de cided to imaj me tnat yeue was there in

have a very enjoyable evening next moti ing mother met me at the table and about the best breakfast i alongitime a ilforgot to ask you mr silver what yon thought of married lifo said she miss beaufort looked horrified but i laughed mother has been telling on me has she said i she has said she well said i during the two weeka i was married i read three good books gained four pounds in weight and saved 91850 besides paying mother my wifos board and a ticket te the theatre and who wero you married to asked mrs beaufort i forgot to look said i i hurried home to see who my wifo bad been the
