I felt very sure l.ydla would have me. Why shouldn't she? I was a piTssuble fel low: some property of my own: doing well lu business: fairly ediicuted and of good social position. Tliut's the view 1 expected l.ydla to tuke of me and a union with me. not whether she would decline me on the ground that I didn't get iiiiiiidliii over her or she over me. The ipiestion wus.

I'm going to make you a proposition namely, that we pass our lives together as man and wife till death do us part" ' She looked at me out of a pair of steely eyes for a' few momenta and said: "How about divorcer" I've noticed that, no matter bow composedly a man makes up bis mind to deal with a woman, she straight way sets about to dlvomiHwe him. "The more common sense we put Into a marriage the less likelihood there'll be of a dlvorw." 1 said. "It H the only imr of mnrrlace In which there Is a likelihood. Death W certain.

Oh. heavens! Worse and worse! 1 at feeling and doubtless looking like a foot I towk put my handkerchief and wiped my lijis they didn't need willing then duKted some specks off my coat collar., then crossed one leg over the other, and suld uotblug.
