They are never domestic, and you are used t« domestic women. Your mother is a homekeeper. You have always dwelt in a well-ordered establishment. You have nothing in common with Bohemian ism; and I, why my life swings from the prosperity of a table d'hote at a French restaurant, to the meagerness of my morning bacon cooked over the gas jet." Arnold frowned. 'Don't talk oi that," he said hastily. "That will be over when you are my wife." "Will it 7" she asked. "What if my genius should insist upon finding ex pression ?* "I am not asking you to settles down," Arnold told her almost with irritation. "1 love your art. I love of God, gown, and the firelight bringing out the red in your hair. I'm not sure that I should enjoy you hall as much in a conventional shirt waist or an apron." "I should like to think," she said wistfully, 'that you should like me love me--in anything." "Why analyze' he asked lightly "To me you are altogether lovely." She bent toward him. "I I decide tomight," she said; "if I say 'ves' to night, are you sure you won't re ¢ 9 "Very sure," he said gravely. Suddenly she surrendered and whis vered, "If it will make you happy." He went home radiant. His moth er's door was half open as he passed it, so he went in and tound her propped up on pillows, her Bible on the table beside her, the latest raga wine in her hand. "I came to tell you of my happi ness,"' he said. A shadow on her fine old face, but she said quietly, "Then it is Alice Travers ?"' "Yes," he said. "We are going to be married as soon as her season is over, next month. "She is lovely," his mother "yet I'm half afraid, dear boy." "Please," he pleaded, "don't Ix afraid. She is sure that she won't come up to the standard of family domesticity, but I want pa wife, not a housekeeper, mother." $ His mother shook her head, "Littl blind boy," she said. "Every man needs a caretaker; not a housekeeper, not a cook, but the guardian of lus home; one who makes it a secure place, a refuge from the world.

Yet when he saw her the next night, an appealing figure in the little play which suited her, her red-gold hair falling unbound to her knees, her shimmering satin robe giving her a bride-like beauty, he felt no doubts.

Now and would look at him wistfully 3 'It is going to end; you 't like this always." he would comfort her, I settle down." i I settle down *" Soms was her Of course, you can," he said. Yet there were times when Her genius seemed to separate her from him, and he felt forlorn and alome. He never felt it so much as on the last night of the season when she bowed her farewell to a clamoring audience, She seemed to belong to the people, not to him. / When she came to him behind the scenes, she laid her head against his arf and said, "Let's go away some where, far away from everybody, just you sud I, and be happy." He wok her to his cottage in the pines. Her maid went with her. The little house seemed crowded for the first tune. Before he had married her all the service had been performed by ope man, a native woodsman, Now, however, with the chattering French maid and the two stalwart Swedes there was little left of the charm of isolation. He said something of this once to his wife. "Alec and I got more out of this than you and I." "Why 'He used to go off in the woods and leave me alowne," Arnold said] "but you and I are never alome." "You mean the maids ?"' she asked. "Yes. There are too many of us here--there is no romance." "IL had not noticed it, I have studied so hard." "Come with me to-morrow into the woods," he pleaded. "I want to show you some of my old haunts." "You must go alone," she stated. "I have so many things to do." In the morning he went off, taking a dog with him, and a gop in the hope of rds. In the evening ft began to rain, and he came home in the gray drizzle. As. he neared the cottage he saw a point of light in the window. He bali wished that Alec might be there in the shadows cooking their bavhelor dinner over the coals. He knew that he would be met by Swedish periec- tion and French volubility. His wife would be up-stairs studying. As he opened the front door he saw that there was no light in the living room nor in the hall. He went to the foot of the stairs and called; no one answered. He made his way toward the back of the house, and heard light steps in the kitchen. He opened the door and stopped in amazement. At a table in the middle of the room his wife was beating eggs. She wore a little blue linen gown and a white serap of an apron. Her hair was braided simply and wound about her head and she looked very young and girlish. "What are you doing ?"' Arnold de- manded. : She flashed a smile at him. "'Mak- ing an omelet." "Where are the maids "I sent them away. I wanted to be alone with you." "Good," he said, heartily. As she flitted from one thing to an- other, doing her work somewhat un- handily, he watched her with delight. she had seemed so remote until now. She had et he had } oon 4 sort of goddess-woman, not a wife in the intimate, close domestic sense. And all at once he. knew that it was the hearth woman that satisfied him best. He helped her joyously, making the toast, broiling the birds that he had brought, peeling a dish of peaches. They ate their dinner with the little table drawn close to the big fireplace.

"But now I know that you can do it," he said; "'that you can come out of the clouds and touch real things for a little while." "I believe it is the real me," she said whimsically, "this housewifely part of me. There was a grandmoth- er who was the wife of a dairy farm- er. I remember when I was a little girl I used to watch her make tarts and cookies, and it seemed to me if I could do things like that when 1 grew up that life would be perfect.

If anything it should be Yam plified in order to stop up the loop holes through which the sinful seek to escape from the commands handed down to Moses on the tablets of stone. The command against covetousness, for example, should include pot only the ox and the ass, but the automobile and fur overcoat as well, althongh the coveting of our neighbor's servant or maid has, in the eves of women at least, ceased to be regarded as a crime. The regard for our neighbor's wife is no longer limited to mere co veting. "Thou shalt not steal" was well enough for a primitive people, but it should be so amplified as to inclade "grafting" of every description, the selling of worthless mining shares and bogus oil lands, and taking of com: missions by buyers and purchasing agents. ~ Af no time in our history ss ans tion have we stood in greater need of ten commandments than we do now.
