Yon don’t wish to be inter­ fered with in the matter of your huts or your religion.” "Certainly not.” "What things do you girls wish to have decided for you?” “Let me see. There are lots of them, but I cun’t think of one all of a sud­ den. Ono couldn't be expected to do that.” “Of courso not!” We nre all more or less dogs in the manger, and I am sorry to say that 1 was much pleased at this recital. If I couldn’t have Julia 1 was not so un­ selfish as to wish her happiness with another man. I daresay it would have been very noble in mo to do so, but that's not my kind of nobility. On the contrary, 1 felt as if I would like to throw some bones of contention be­ tween the two myself. But this was out of the question. I was interested in the matter not only because I wanted Julia for my­ self. Imt on account of the fact that she had engaged herself to Digby be­ cause she wished to be bossed. She had intimated to me that I wasn’t a strong enough character to domineer over her, but I had my doubts about the woman of the present day needing an overseer. That might have occur­ red in the days of our grandmothers, when no oue thought of leaving out the word “obey” in the marriage service, but now, when women are ambitious for a voice in the government, it is different. The suffragette doesn't look like a woman pining for a master, and all women who earn their own living become more or less independent. I therefore took Julia’s desire to set up a king for herself with a grain of salt. If, however, it was sincere I hoped that sho would have the same experi­ ence as the frogs that chose a stork for a ruler. The next time I met Edith Martin she had great news for me. “Haven't you heard?” she exclaimed excitedly. “No. What is it?” “It’s perfectly awful!” “What’s perfectly awful?” “But he deserved it, every bit of it!” "Deserved what?” Some timo was required for her to express her opinion about it before she could curb herself to tell me what it was. This feminine trait, which seems to me akin to spending a lot of timo over the address of a letter to discover whom it is from, instead of breaking it open to look nt the signa­ ture, having spent its force, Edith came down to facts and told me the story. She hnd got it direct from Julia nnd had not troubled herself to Inquire into the man's side of the story. "Things had been going from bad to worse lietween them,” said the bosom friend, “when one morning Frnnk called to see Julia for a better under­ standing. Instead of going in the aft­ ernoon or evening he went about 11 o'clock in the morning. He’d been used to running in on her Informally, nnd, lielng told that slie was in the pantry tanking a pie, bo just went in there. I’ve come,’ he said, ‘with the olive branch. I dare say I have faults, Imt the principal trouble between us Is that occasionally I would like to have my own way altout some things.’ ” “You don’t mean he wns ns unrea­ sonable as that!” I exclaimed. “Unreasonable! Julia took it as an insult. ‘That means,’ she said, ‘that yon consider me u person who tvants to have her own way about every­ thing; that I am obstinate, mulish, pigish—everything that Is unreasona­ ble?’ ‘You nre putting those words Into my mouth,’ lie replied. 'I have wnnted a good, strong, noble man for a husband, but I haven’t wanted a ty­ rant. Our engagement is broken. So there!’ Sho hnd n scoop filled with flour in her hand, and she wns so mad that she threw it all over him.” “You don't mean It!” I exclaimed. "How he must have looked!" “Looked! lie was white ns n sheet in front nnd black Iwlilnd. Julia ran through n door Into the kitchen, then upstairs nnd into her room, locking herself In. Frank dusted the flour off his clothes ns best ho could with his handkerchief, then left the house.” "They’ll make it up,” I suggested. “Never. Julia is one of those pliable, gentle creatures who, when they nre goaded to desperation, will turn, nnd when they turn they will never crnwl again.” “Crawl?” “Yes. Julia gave way to him till she couldn’t stand it nny longer.” "Poor girl!” Not long after that, having proved that I could make a good living ns an Illustrator nnd believing thnt Jtilln's engagement with Digby wns not likely to be mewed, I called upon her. 11 think she had had enough of being bossed nnd hnd demonstrated to het satisfaction thnt she didn't need an ■ overseer. At nny rate, she didn't men . tion such necessity, and when I told her that I hnd found success in a new ' field she seemed interested. I think , Edith Martin had told her thnt I wus I looking for a wife to boss me, for Ju J lln gave evidence thnt she would like I the job.
