Part of it is now used as a pri vate school for girls up to about 14. The Docteur is sort of supervisor of the school; he does not practice, but is very wealthy. He was an officer iu the French army. Mrs. Bcnassen was married at Groslcy in a quaint church. There were just 12 of u.. at the tea; we sat about two hours at the tea table.

ROGERS, Pertaining to Wives Wives appear to be a kind of n uccessary evil, A man can neither be happy with one nor without one As long as a man has a wife he feels that he would be perfectly rccon ciied to losing her, yet the minute he loses her he never rests until he hunts up another one. Whether this is owing to some peculiarity of wives or to lack of intelligence in min is not known. The first wile was named Eve, and she was invented for the purpose of keeping Adam from being lonesome. She did this by her curiosity and by getting him into trouble, a plan every wife has followed from that day to this. 1 tns seems to indicate lack of orig inality iu wives, but the fact rc mains that as soou as a man gets married he is kept busy answering his wife s questions as to where he has been, what he means by coining home at that hour of the morning, what makes his breath smell so queer, etc, and in trying to douce curtain lectures, bill col lectors and other unpleasantness thnf he has no leisure in which to be distrait or cnuuied, as wc say iu table d'hote French.

At first he is perfectly cer tain that he is a large, tall, masterly man who turned n timid bird by his magnetic personality until he coaxed it to nestle on his breast. Later on he' begins to think that he was about the easiest gink that ever bought Brooklyn bridge, nud how he fell for a con spiel worked by u girl baby, and he blushes every time he thinks of the way he wnu shillicd along to the nltnr.
