She told all the news l as before, but the small, proper household ‘ had no secrets whatever. Bills were regular- ly paid. The traditional mother-indaw lived 'forty miles away. Mr. Gooeh'kept his busi- ness affairs strictly to himself, and was what old fashioned people call ‘ a good provider.’ Consequently, Mrs. Gooeh was forced to fall back on the delinquencies of the llan‘ndress and the evil deeds of Bridget, the cook for her'tonversation, and peace reigned in the houisehold of the Gooches. But, alas ! upon an e‘v‘il 'day Mr. Gooch had a falling out with his business neighbor, Mr. Chubb, the. grocer, who would persist in filling up the pavement‘under Mr. Gooeh's ofiice window with boxes, barrels and bags and other articles in no way connected with real estate. Hard Words passed, and in his excitement M. GOoch told the fact to his wife.“ In the 'connse'ef the week that well-meaning hu’t ’indisc'reet lady had spread the tale over the whole town, not omitting the statement that flIr.
