Maberly, Jan. 1--The reception * given to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tryon was well attended. The young couple Were married in Kingston on Dec. 22nd, and after a short honeymoon returned to the bride's parents, where the reception was held. The dining . dake, which was made by her sister, table wag centred by the aan | tand's mouth. She knew that the bag she was holding was mine, but] she also knew, which I did not know, | 'that that particular bag had been thers before John had given it to me. { | John was evidently in one of those { positions that might be characterized : » dias "my most embarrassing moment, land his predicament was not allevi- § jated.in any way when Karl Shepard { threw his glove into the arena with: "You need not advertise, Alice. I found Katherine's bag yesterday and will send it around to her in the morning. Yes, it is exactly like this one," he continued, taking the purse from Bess' reluctant fingers and ap- } parently examining it very carefully. {| It was a peculiar situation. I could tell from John's black look that for { the first time in his life he was put in a position where he did not dare to move, and settle things in his own arrogant, masculine way. I am sure he could have killed Karl Shepard where he stood, and I think at that] moment bégan the severance of the| cords of friendship that had existed | two men up to that between the | time, and which later were destined Miss Evelyn, and looked marvellous \to be brokén entirely.

The presents were numerous © and costly, showing the large num- ber of friends the young couple have. © The guests were Mr. and Mrs. W. Wing and Miss M ret, of West- Jost; ; Mr, and Mr&. B.

In all our ac! quaintance I have never seen Karl so interested in any 'woman as he seems to be in you.

I will not have my wife's name connected with Karl Shepard's or any other man's! I cannot understand why, if you are not interested in him except as 'my friend' (emphasizing 'my friend' sar« castically), you make it possible for him to make you a present of an $800 gold purse!" Must Be Absolutely True. "Begging your pardon, John, I said I had lost my purse.

After our fuss about it, if you will remember, I stuck it into my pocket and this af- ternoon at the club I was foolish enough to tell Elizabeth that I had given it to you and the mess you had made of the whole proceeding. 9 Full of Pleasant Memories. "As I was telling it to her, I ab- sentmindtdly took the purse out of my pocket. She took it from me, saying: 'Let me have it back, John. It is full of pleasant memories, and 1 will never carry it where Katherine will see it. I was sorry the moment 1 had sent it back to you' We had just reached this point in the con- versation when you and Alice and Shepard came up and you know the rest. "I can't understand, however, why Shepard should butt into my affairs, He knows that I bought the purse for Bess, and he also knows that she sent it back to me, Either he is playing a very nasty joke upon me in this matter of duplicating it for you, your fancied troubles, and he is tak ing this occasion to show me on which side he stands." "Do I look like a woman, John, troubles, fancied or otherwise, to anyone else? 1 have never mentioned one of our disagree- ments, even to Alice or to my own mother. Perhaps I may have made some cynical remarks from which Alice, being a woman, has guessed the trath, but you have told more by your brusque ways to me in pub- lic and your constant attendance up- on Elizabeth Moreland than anyone else." "Why, Katherine, don't you know that I care nothing at all for Eliza- beth Moreland? I married you!" "Be careful, Johan, or you'll make me wish you had married her!"

"No, John, I do not think we either |i We did not || of us have changed. know each other. We allowed our passion and emotions to blind us, and now we are suffering from the current idea that the marriage bond will not only bind us together, but will in some miraculous way keep us forever in that rare but hazy at- mosphere of romance. No two peo- ple should be allowed to marry as suddenly as did we." "Only divorces should be quickly," said John sarcastically. I will néver know just how it hap pened, but at the end of John's re- mark there was @ crash, a cry, and given I knew no more for a long time!
