Higgins is very fond of his wife, but sometimes they have little scrappy ar- guments. in which Higgins invariably comes out second best. though he hates to admit it even to himself. Not long ago Higgins thought he had “got it on” Mrs. Higgins at last so surely that she wouldn’t have the last word. He came home one evening with one eye all red and inflamed and not in the best humor on that account. Mrs. Higgins became all concern. “What on earth is the matter with your eye, Henry?” she inquired sym- pathetically. “Cinder,” said Higgins shortly. “Let me get it out for you." “Already out.” “Well, let me put something on it.” “Don’t need anything on it.” “Well, at least I’d bathe it in salt water.” “No; just let it alone. and it will get well of itself.” “Henry, do let me bathe it in salt water for you.” pleaded Mrs. Higgins. “Don‘t want any salt water on it, I tell you. The best thing to do for a sore eye is just to let it alone,” said Higgins authoritatively. The next day the eye was still in- flamed, but Higgins resolutely declined to let any one “fool” with it. That afternoon he went down to the beach with a gay party of friends and dis- ported himself with them in the surf, swimming and diving to his heart’s content. At the breakfast table the next morning he noted with surprise that his eye no longer troubled him and seemed entirely well. “You see now.” he announced tri- umphantly to Mrs. Higgins. “my eye is cured already. and I didn‘t do a thing for it either.” "Um. um.” he said critically. “I wuz a-t‘inkin’ hit didn't somehow tas’e ez sweet ez dem yar pullets Eph’um done fetch in de udder mawnin’."

"Not very.” replied the still belliger- ent wife indifierently. “Well. it‘s something for the one I iove best in all the world.” “Ah.
