THE ENGLISH WIFE, i (Max O'Rell says that the English wits lit opposite her husband at the fireside In the evening with her curl capers in her Ehalr.) Bhe wore a wreath of rosea. Toe night when hint we met; Her hair, with careful oiling. Looked shiny, black and wet. Her footsteps had the lightness Of say a mastodon: And oh! she looked exceeding smart. Though high of hue and bone. I saw her bnt a moment. Tet methinks I see her now IVlth the siimness, style and lightness Of say a Low Dutch row! When next we met she wore I the spread of form and features Was much greater than before. cVnd standing by her side was one J: Who strove, and strove In vain, tT to make believe that saclt a wife - Was a domestic gain.

"Did you have a good time in town?" r "Xo-o; beastly hole; bores one to d death." "But there Is such a lot going on now. Did you not go to any theaters r "..,i,:7. sr. k I suppose I did enjoy myself, but I have forgotten It." The girl looked at the man steadily I for a moment, but be walked moodily ( on, unconscious of her gaze. "Were there any nice people staying ( at the 6ame place?" she asked, uncon i cernedly, but still watching him. "No-o; at least, I hardly spoke to any 1 of them." J "Who were those rjeople you wrote i about those people you were with so i much?" "Oh, they were Irish." Dead silence. The man and the girl I sauntered along the beach, ouch Intent I on his or her ow n thoughts, i "What charming people the Irish are I ss a rule!" the girl suid, at length. 1 "Yes, awfully jolly," enthusiastically. "Were these?" "Oh, yes, they weren't bad." , "How many were there, and of what I sort and condition? Do rouse yourself a little aud try to be a trifle more enter ( taluing." i The man pulled himself together and made an effort. "What shall I tell you? About the Irish people I met? Weil, . there was a father, also a mother nw ' fully Cue old ludy, she was and a ( daughter." "Was the daughter pretty ? Irish girls are lovely ns a rule, 1 think. Their ? eyes are so beautiful. Had this girl ; beautiful eyes?" "Ve-es, I suppose so." "Was she a nice girl, clever and so on? Tell me about her." "Oh. there l nothing to tell." The man Krew restive under the question- 1 lug; then ho tried to turn the conversa- 'tion. The girl sauntered on more slow - ly. She was a little paler than she bad beeu. but u slightly mocking smile playt-d arouud the corners of ber mouth. - "How pretty those brown sails look out tliHiv," iie remarked, presently, pointing to a little deet of fishing boats out on the glltterlug sea. "Mark, I should like to go out sailing." "Would you?" lie rejoined, indiffer ently. "Yes; let us go and have a nice, long day. I will get some provisions while you get the boat Shall we go?" "I should like it If you would." With a little more alrcrity he moved off, .while the girl wended her way up the cliff path to the house perched on the top. 'Toor boy!" she said, softly. "To be slangy, be is hard hit, or thinks he Is, which amounts to the same. I am ! he hau round that she aid not Jump ai afraid he is very impressionable." j nis suggestions with her old alacrlty Out at sea there was a soft breeze I tn tact- 11 nad taken all bis time and all blowing, a litle breeze that made the hot sun Ix-arable and put new life and spirits iuto the two In the boat; then was something so exhilarating, so free, so Invigorating, in the very feeling ol flying along over the smooth sparklins waters. Care seemed to be left behind, where is would not overtake them! anper, jealousy, mortification, seemed all too petty and mean to live In this great oien stretch of sea and sky. "Shall we have luuch now?" The girl was leaning back In a perfect nest of cushlous. looking unspeakably comfort able and very pretty. "You look so comfortable. It Is a pity you should move." the man said. "I will unpack the things and hand you all you want." "My dear boy. I could not possibly eat in this position, and loath as I am to disturb myself, my spirit longetb for sustenance. I am going to sit in the bottom of the boat." she said, "will yon arrange some cushions at my back foe we?" Kasity and deftly, and with an air In which the proprietor and protector were curiously mixed, he arranged her nest. "This is awfully fine." said the man. leaning back, with ills hands clasped behind his head and looking first at the girl .-mil then at the sky, and then back at the girl agniti. "This is splendid. I could go on sailing away forever. Ona seems to lerive nil worries behind and forget nil disagreeables." The girl did not sneak for a moment. Bottlebindin,:.

The laan stared at her for a few sec onds. Then be followed her raze at the brown sails, and for a moment they ap peared to find something of surpassing Interest in them.

"You are very kind," be answered a title sulkily. "I am sorry to bare kept you at home." "Oh, It doea not matter. I can go an - ether day. I wanted to see you, yoo know."

She looked at her companion for th Srst time, then quickly lowered het sunshade, for the dignified amazement of bis expression waa too much for bei pravlty. For minutes silence reigned in tha boat The man was wondering If It could really be possible that th i ? -s- - s to whether be cared more for anothei girl or not. It had never occurred to him thai other men might admire Ruth so much as to take her from biui. He looked at her In bis endeavors to fathom It alL She was really very pretty. When b looked at ber she was leaning on the olde of the boat, her head resting on ber arm. j "How perfectly Idyllc this is," she finally said.

Close to on or these hedges they found a seat, or at least, Kuth found a seat; Mark dii not want one; he lay on the heather be side ber. "Mark, this Is an earthly paradise," she exclaimed, as she leaned back against a soft cusbion'of sweet-scentec thyme. "If I were superstitious 1 would ssy it were too good to last."
