the wardrobe, end it was not uuuu
aad felt of every seperate garment on
the Look and clawed a ponnd of
plaster off the wall that he suddenly
emembered'tbat bis -wife had taken his
dress suit down ttairs that morning to
have it cleaaed, .
And now arose the vexatious query.
Should he pat on hia evry-day suit
again, just to g dawn and get his
broadcloth f or might lie venture to
sneak' down just as be was t It was an
awful bore to have to dress and undress
so-ortea ; bat tbes aa tha other , hand
it would be an appalling thing to meet
that lovely, goUieu-haired maid in the
hall, or on the stairway, in his present
scanty array.
Jt was a , bothersome dileoima, aodl
Mr. Thomas-,, beif Jk astv-wow a
mild little oath-ortwv a-4. pranced
aroQctd tesidetbe wardrobe In a' vain
attempt to "find a way oti .of IS per-
plenty. i Tlien suddenly ; bw feet
beoarne aotancled in a stray aat of his
Henrietta's crinoline, and the more he
kicked tbe closer they eUmg to him. .
Finally, with a heart-rending groan'
be sat down on the hard, cold floor,
and, went resignedly to work, trying
to unravel the tangle.
While thns engaged, he heard some
one softly enter the bedroom, at?
leaning forward, ha peeped cautiously
out tlironah the halt-open door to
b who the ufitirMely intruder was.
To his niter eonfosion he saw the
lovely nymph of the No. 2 slippers,
standing composedly before his wife's
toilet set, contemplaiina her . own
pretty pink and White isee in the
mirrcr.
At any dther time, and in almost
any other plight, Mr. Thomas won Id
have lost himself in admiration of the
sweet picture; but now he cast alter
nate glances at the nnconscious damsel,
and at that little pile of raiment of his
that wa lying just out of bis reach, on
the carpet.
For some moments lie wa undecided
how to act, bnt finally eonclnded to
keep quiet, and wait patiently for the
fair apparition to .vanUh. This, hots;,
ever, she seemed in no haste to do, but
turning her aUeotion to a-lovely blue
silk evening dress that Henrietta had
left lying on a chair, she apostrophizad
it thns :
"Oh, you precious beauty, you're too
sweet for anything ! I'm going to try
yon on." And suiting the action to tlie
word, she began removing such articles
ot her own apparel as would interfere
with the trying-on process.
Now, some idea ot poor Thomas'
nervous trepidation may be gathered
from tlie fact tliat, at this critical
juncture, all the early teachings ot a
sainted mother, and all his ample stock
ot imate modesty ooeed cat at the end
of his fingers, and he sat there, on the
floor, like a ' crooked marble statue,
staring helplessly at tlie strange, mys
terious transformation going on before
him. t!:
He wanted to ootigh, or whistle, or J
sneeze, just to let tha sweet innocent
know that there was somebody "behind
tlx scene, but ba couldn't utter a
sound ; and so he resolved to "sit out
the performance, if it lasted all nigl.t,
and that too, witltont going oat fur
"refreshnjenu" betweeu the acts.
Finally he saw tha lovely arras slip
out at sight, into the .sleeves of the
bine silk dress, and hia eye would
fol low the movements ot the graceful ,
undulating figure as it advanced, reced
ed, and float eel round in front ot tlie
large mirror. . ,

ander his breath, 'I - wonder why In
thunder she don't go .00 the. stage, she'd
