SOME GOOD ADVICE
ALL AROUND.
By M. QUAD.
Copyright, 1909, by T. C. McClure.
The six footer who yells through the
megaphone to call up the carriages aft
er the theater will persist that he has
I never made a mistake, but you cau
! doulit his word. If he hadn't on this
night Mr. Bradshaw and Mrs. Dins
more wouldn't have found themselves
side by side in an auto, and Mr. Dins
more and Mrs. Bradshaw wouldn't
have taken the same cab. Mr. and
Mrs. Bradshaw had had something of
a misunderstanding before leaving
home, and during the performance at
the theater he had, made up his mind
to say things on the way home.
For five minutes the woman beside
him ignored his existence. She was
still in the sulks, and she might have
continued to ignore had not Mr. Brad
shaw suddenly uttered a swear word
and announced to the chauffeur that a
mistake had been made. Mrs. Dins
more gasped and uttered a little
scream at the announcement, but did
not lose her self possession. For three
long hours she had been thinking how
she would like to lacerate the feelings
of some man, and she said: -
"I'm going to ask you how you use
your wife."
"Madam, isn't that rather a singular
question?" he replied.
"You may think so, but I'm some
thing of a reader of character.; If you
are not one of the bossy kind around
your house then I'm much mistaken.
I think you are also selfish and con
ceited. You were at the theater with
your wife. I'll-wager that you gave
her to understand that it was a mag
nanimous concession on your part.
You'll expect her to sit with freezing
feet and save a ton of coal the next
week to make even. Oh, I know your
sort. If you weren't so self important
you'd have never made this mistake.
You thought you owned the only auto
in town and that this must be yours
because it drove up to the curb. There
1 feel better, and you can take me
home. I am Mrs. Dinsmore of 342 Ma
ple avenue."
"Yes," said Mr. Bradshaw as he
headed the machine in that direction;
"It so happens that I know your hus
band. I know that he is hard up and
on the point of failure, and I have
heard a dozen people say that it is on
account of your extravagance. Don't
interrupt me, but you are living in a
too expensive house. Your wardrobe
costs too much. ' You keep too many
servants. Your husband is afraid of
you and dare not hint at retrench
ment. . You are wearing diamonds
now that will be in the hands of his
creditors in less than three months
if you don't hold up.'- Here is Maple
avenue, and here's No. 342. and there's
your husband and my wife waiting for
us."
On leaving the theater and finding
themselves in the same cab Mr. Dins
more and Mrs. Bradshaw discovered the
mistake by the time the driver had
traveled a block. The vehicle was or
dered to set them down on Maple ave
nue, and they had been waiting there
half an hour when the others drove
up. Meanwhile they had been ta'lking.
-"Oh, so you are Mr. Dinsmore?" re
peated Mrs. Bradshaw. I have heard
of your wife."
"Yes?" ' -
"She goes into society a good deal."
"Yes." was the reply, accompaniedt
by a long drawn sigh.
That- sigh caught Mrs. Bradshaw.
She was a sympathetic woman by na
ture, and she had just witnessed an
emotional play and was more sympa
thetic than usual. Besides, she had
heard about Mrs. Dinsmore's extrava
gance. Therefore, weakkneed und hum
ble minded as she was in the presence
of the overshadowing Mr. Bradshaw,
she plucked up courage to say:
"Mr. Dinsmore, I am very, very sorry
for you, but yet it is our own fault in
a way." .
"Just what do you refer to?" '
"To your wife, of course. Why don't
you stand right up ant tell her she
can't have this and that? She may
have a temper, but firmness would con
quer that. She may threaten divorce,
but pay no attention to that. . That is
a woman's bluff. I don't think it too
late to begin now, but you have got to
make up your mind to be firm."
"I- see," said Mr. Dinsmore, who
hadn't interrupted her speech by rais
ing so much as a finger. "Mrs. Brad
shaw, it happens, queerly enough, that
I also know something about your
family matters. You are a servile, su
pine wif e. , You don't dare to call your
soul your own. You are bossed and
bulldozed. Your husband makes you
efface yourself like a servant. " While
he, belongs to three or four expensive
clubs, buys the best wines and cigars
and has an auto for his special ben
efit, you are squeezing the pennies and
dreading the gas bills.. Why do you
do it? Why don't you get up and as
sert yourself ?": . . ..
Mrs. ; Bradshaw was gasping for
breath when the-other vehicle drove
,up, and the four saluted each other.
After a, moment the men stepped aside
a bit to explain to each other how the
mistake must have come about, and.
their wives did the same, having been
introduced.
"Dinsmore," whispered Bradshaw,
"your wife has given me an infernal
wigging.". .
"Ditto," replied Dinsmore.
"Mrs. Dinsmore," whispered the oth
er lady, .'-your husband has given me
the awfulest talking to I ever got." -
"Ditto." replied Mrs. Dinsmore. '
And 'then they all stood and looked
at each other for an embarrassing mo
ment and then said good night.
