The journey home was entirely without incident Ruth had been tired from her two days" work in the old mansion, and had retired to her immediately. In the morning she went directly to the ship, although Mr. Mandel told her she was at liberty to go home. "I want to do some more work while it is all so fresh in my mind," ghe told him, and he objected no fur ther. In fact, could Ruth have heard him mutter "A find, without 'doubt,' she might have begun to realize thay he believed in her---was pleased with her, and with her work. All day she worked steadily over her plans. When closing time camg *Ishe regretfully laid them dside and went home. Mrs. Crawford was there, and din- ner was nearly ready. Ruth asked no questions, but stationed herself at the window to watch for Brian He would be along in a minute. In some way she missed seeing him, and the turning of his key in the lock was the first intimation sne had that he had arrived. "Oh, Bria!" and she ran to him and threw her arms around his nec. ""Were you lonely, Brian dear? Did you miss me?" "Was there any reason why I shouldn't be Ignely?" he asked gruffly. The soft feel of her cling- ing arms had helped to evaporate his anger. "Well, I am back now and we'll make it all up. I have 50 mueh td tell you, dear! such a wonderful old place, and I am to do anything I want to with it--almost anything," she corrected with a little laugh, "And Newport is lovely! 1 never knew a place could be so heavenly! and--"" ' "Did you go alone?" Brian inter- rupted. "Why---no--" amazement in her tones, "Mr. Mande! went with me." "You mean to tell me that you went galivanting off with & nan for three days?' the veins in hig face swelled to almost bursting. "Why---Briap--of course---he had to go He had to see to things. 1 couldn't do it alone. And--" "T'd like to know what you would think of me if I took some girl and went away for three days " "Oh, Brian--how can you talk so? It's so different! It was on buysi- ness, and 'you- "Don't talk reason he was willing forty dollars a week you earn it;-1 knew earn any such salary he is in Jove with y ol. a fool as you think me. Ruth's eyes filled. But she was determined not to cry. \'The injust- ice of Brian's anger filled her with wrath also. She had been ready to talk of her trip, to tell him of how kind Mr. Mandel had been; now she would tell him nothing, He didn't deserve her confidence. And--he didn't trust her or else he woul not say such things. Just then the situation lieved by the call to dinner. Ruth dashed the tears from her eyes, and with head up and a de- fiant feeling in her heart led the way to the table. She did not again speak of her trip, neither did Brian refer to it while at table, They ate in silence save when speaking of their food. After dinner Ruth .unpacked her bag, taking no pains to hide what she was doing. 'Might as well leave it out, you'll be ready the next time wants you to go somewhere him,' Brian sneered. Again Ruth's eyes filled, but she made no reply, although an angry one rose to her lips. - Quietly ghe puty the bag away, then took a magazine and sat down to read. about it! that's the to pay you -not because you couldn't but because I'm not such " was re- then he with "I'm not going to sit in this stuffy hole all the evening!' Brian blurted. "If you are!! I'm going to a show." Ruth rose with alacrity. She knew that Brian dreaded the long evening with her becatise he was too proud to own he had been wrong in talking to her ak he had, and that he was also tog proud to own the fault. "That's a good idea," she said brightly, "I'll be ready in a minute." While she changed her dress for one more appropriate, Ruth repress- ed a smile. Whatra child Brian was, she thought again, a regular baby. Well she would treat him as such, humor him. What difference did it make, and it made things pleasant- er. Nothing would make her give up her work, or anything that her work made necessary. Beyond that, she would not do anything save what Brian approved, and she would keep her temper when he was angry, even if 'he were angry without cause. So it 'was ja bright face she pre- sented to her husband when she joined him, ready to go out. taking his arm, and snuggling close to him. Even if he was cross and grouchy, she loved lim, good to be with him again. He mentioned a play that ahe know wag very popular, and the seats in great demand and very ex- pensive, as they had to be bought from the speculators. But she sa'd nothing. He wanted to show her he could take care of her. Well, let him. She would save the cost of tickets in some way. "Nothing left in the house," ti eg man in the box office told Brian. "It's an outrage, making people buy tickets of those robbers," indt- cating the speculators. #'Why buy them, then? come some other night." "I'll attend to this!" and Brian handed the man a ten dollar bill, re- ceiving only three dollars in change.

You hit me right in any weakest spot. 1 know that I should léetura you say, ing, "It you have a husband who 1s good, and true, and industrious, you should be glad to forget the fact that his manners are not above erticiam." But I can't for { am much prejudiced towards your view- point. I, too, 'can forgive almost anything a 'man, except a breach of good breeding. It Js a very femin- line failing that we share my girl ; I think 'that I could live with, and be happy with a man 1 loved, no matter what were his faults, just so long as he was not ga boor. I know how it must agon- ize: you to have your husband seat himself at the table before you, # sail out of the theatre while you are still struggling with your coat; interrupt when you speak, and belittle you in front of others; these are not cardinal sins, but they are the one that are hardest to live with. Your husband is just ill bred, his change of attitude hasn't anything to do with a change of heart. Don't think for a minute that he has stop- ped loving you. I don't doubt that he loves you even more now than he did in the courting days when he minded his P and Q and took off his bat in the élevator.. It is mere- ly that good manners are not part of his natdre, He hasn't been train- ed in consistent good manners, and he evidently hasu't been born with those inherent qualities-of' gonside- ration, which make a gentleman of a beggar. Politeness is a cloak that he assumes for dress occasions and for the benefit of "cos y."

There are two things for yeu to do, Vera; either train yourself to ignore his breaches of etiquette, in time you may become just as rude as he, then his manner won't jar. Or, you may tell him very gently how much it distresses you, if you are very tactful, he may be quite reasonable about it, and try to im- prove; then it will be your cue to be very consistently polite yourself, for while he is looking for missteps of his own part he won't be blind to yours.
