“A h i told you, we girls want some
>f our decisions made for us; some we
want to make for ourselves.”
"I see. 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
