They are Inexpensive, nnd everything Inexpensive finds a ready demand. In a two family bouse In 11 Mr. and Mrs. Klrby lived on the sec ond floor and Mr. and Mrs. Axbalter on the first floor. Cheap things are apt to be expensive In the end. and It was so with tills two family house. Mrs Klrby became infatuated with Mr. Ax halter and Mr. Klrby with Mrs. Ax balter. Living under the same roof, there was plenty of chance for one of the men to meet the wife of the other clandestinely, and both couples were playing the Knme frame. There wasn't any trouble about the matter. Why tdiould there be. since all were satisfied to swap partners? Hut the expense! Two single houses would have cost 50 per ceTU more, but the divorces cost 100 per cent more. Resides, there were two new trous seaux, two weddings Involving car riages, wedding breakfasts and the parson's fees. Would it not have been better had each couple taken a Ringle house? Unfortunately the leases ran for two years, and the new weddings occurred within one. It would be a pity to lose one year's rent on account of an em harassing proximity between two con pies who bad swapped partners, es- j peclally when there was no embarrass in out So the first Mrs. Klrby, having become Mrs. Axhnlter, went to live downstairs, and the first Mrs. Axbalter. having become Mrs. Klrby. went to live upstairs. Everybody In the neigh ; borhood said: "How practical and Imw ! sensible! All has been dune pleas- j ontly. Of all quarrels family quarrels ! are the worst." It so happened that Mr. nnd Mrs- : Klrby went on a Journey, nnd while they were gone Mr. Klrby died I Meanwhile Mr. Axhnltor died too. The I disconsolate widows met In the hall. That's a part of n two family house which persons who have never tried them don't consider. The occupants are always meeting In the ball. "Well." said Mrs. Klrby ante Ax halter "Tom has gone. 1 hear." "Yes." said Mrs. Axbalter ante Klr by, "and Jim. too. poor man!" She wiped nway a tear. "They were two very good men." "Very good. They were two very good husbands to mo. both of 'em." "And 1 have no complaint to make of either. My first husband was very obliging In some things and my second in other things." "iloth my husbands were good In nil things." said Mrs. Axbalter. heaving a deep sigh. "ll'm: Did you find Axbalter always liberal with the cash?" "Indeed I did! Hut It depends upon what you call liberal. Anyway, 1 didn't l have to go through his pockets when : ho was asleep." "Who told you that?" "That to net monnv I h.id tn tm ' ! through his pockets when be was my husband. Anyway. 1 didn't give him ! any curtain lectures wheu he came homo late nights." "And who told yon that?"

Mrs. Klrby." said Mrs. Axlnilter, "whirli of your husbands you liked host." "Well, as a man who had boon In fluenced by some une eho ! think snine times Klrby was tho man I ever knew. Then, aain.

A pit In i tho two ladies bricked nway from each other Hut only in an argumentative I sene. "Are you going to have your mourn ing drosses cut hobble?" asked Mrs Ahnlier. "Not to tho extreme." replied Mrs Kir by. "I'm puzzled about my hats. I don't nee how I can get n widow's cap to show under 'em. the brims nre so hip" "And the veil? How nre we to mnn tge that?" 'They don't wear those lonp blflcfc veils nuy more." "I'm so glad What are you Botntj to do ii Knit collars nnd cuffs?" "1 haven't decided. Come up to my floor and we'll talk It over" "Come Into mine." "It doesn't make any difference now which floor we go to we're nt home on Nm h." They stood In the hall nnd talked Oh. happy d.iy that they had found a topic on which they could converse with their former friendliness! DRUGS STATIONERY PAINTS OILS GLASS HAMILTON DRUG CO. 2-11 X.
