"Don't go saying things you'll be sorry for by and by, Mill," he said gently. "God knows, I'd never have brought you away from the country If I hadn't heard work was so plentiful up here In London. So It was at first and maybe will again. We'll have to fight on for a bit." Ho drew nearer, and laid a hand on the averted shoulder. "Cheer up, lassie. It ain't like you to turn cross and nasty." He gave the girl a playful shake, but in an In stant she had sprung to her feet, and .was facing him with blazing eyes. "Cross, am I!" she cried shrilly. "And enough to make me! I'm not an angel, and never was, and I say I'm sick of it, pinching and. scraping and parting with the bits of things for rent. I wish I was dead!" A flood of passionate tears choked her as the memory of the past trou bles rose up like a black cloud before her eyes, and she felt herself in im agination growing old and shabby, like all the other weary, untidy, shift less London women whose husbands had got no work, and her pretty little pieces of furniture and wedding pres ents melting awny one by one in that last resort of the poor the ever open pawnshop. There was silence in the room, broken only by the girl's sob's, and for once her husband did not speak. There Is a limit to all patience, and love may be strained to the breaking point at last.

He's dead! And you parted in anger! Jim's dead!" When the cloud passed she found herself at a bedside, with a doctor near her holding her .arm and telling her to cheer up and pull herself to gether. Her eyes fell on her husband's face resting on the pillow. He was white and ghastly, and there was a bandage about his head, but the face was not the face of a dead man, for his eyei were wide open, gazing anxiously Into hers. 8he sprang to her feet then with an eager cry, and the doctor, with a slight smile on his grave face, went softly out. "Oh, Jim, forgive me forgive me!" she murmured on her knees be side him. "I've been a bad wife to you, and they told me you were dead. Thank God, It's not true, and He's given you back to me." The man held out his arms, and clasped her about the neck, and he felt her tears like rain upon his up turned face. "Poor little lass!" he whispered. "What e fright I've given you, but I'll soon be well again. I was Just stunned like, doctor says, with this cut on my head, and you mustn't fret no more. Our quarrel's all forgiven and forgot." Her head lay upon his breast, and there waa silence In the little room, but for her deep, sobbing breaths. "There's a letter came for you, Jim, this afternoon," she said pres ently. "I'll go "and fetch it now," and she slipped away to bathe her eyes and see to some food for him. "Lassie! lassie!" he cried Joyously. "Our troubles are over.

ANNERS Is how you act in a street car. Gentlemen are called so because .they have good manners. I WOndor Whv morn ffpntlamon At -.if .An n street cars. It may be that they have automobiles. Tne other day a person known as a street car hog was choked so bad that he got real black In the face. This hap pened in New York. The man who choked him was trying to .teach him to be polite. But you can't teach a hog much. If every street car hog got choked the right of way' would be clogged with pork. In this town I never saw a man take a woman and pull her out of a seat and take the seat himself. So manners might be worse here than they are. Men get into seats, though, and stay there, while tired old women with baskets swing from the strap. The men do not pretend to br, reading. That used to be the way, and it was a sign that the men were ashamed. It Is out of date now. But perhaps the women are partly to blame. They do not teach their little boys to give up seats to other women. They used to forget to thank the men, too, for giving them seats. For men did do this once. When a woman brings a sturdy lad Into a crowded car she puts him into the only vacant seat and then glares around for another. Lots of times when she comes In there are three or four vacant seats, but she does not look around for them, but grabs a strap right off. Then men come in and take the seats, and she looks Just as mad. but you can't blame them much. Sometimes women spread their skirts over two or three seats and get real haughty when requested to condense. But this Is not to defend the man who crowds womea aside and beats them to a seat. No, it is not in favor of the man who stands in the aisles and when a seat becomes vacant Jams Into It and leaves women still standing Of course, to call him a hog is to ubb a figure of speech. But he was trained when only a pig. This is another figure of speech. " There are some gentlemen who travel on the street cars and ladles do, too, but they have so many painful experi ences that they wish they might walk. So this Is all I know about street car manners.

"As far as woman suffrage Itself ii concerned, I do not believe the worn, en will make much progress untl they adopt womanly and conservative, tactics. A good, true, womanly wom an can get anything she desires, When the so-called suffragettes corns to realize this they will modify theli tactics, and then their chances foi success will be greater. Until thai time, however, I think the success ol the cause Is more or less hopeless, foi men will not be forced to do any. thing. They prefer to be coaxed.

It was one of the social problems of pioneer days in a new country to find a place of comparative seclusion for the bashful calls of the neighbor's lad. In.the congested life of large cities the difficulty Is enhanced and finds unsatisfactory remedy in the theory that there may be solitude in crowds and possibilities for personal inter change of agreeable confidences In vehicles and public parks.

Shall I tip? Whom shall I tip? How much shall I give? She does not know and has no one from whom she can seek Information with out embarrassment. Tipping Is much more customary in this country than It was a few years ago, and as a rule It Is safe to give a moderate fee to any servant with whom you have come In contact. In the average country house this will mean the waitress, the upstairs girl who attends to your room and who may have done you small favors, such as buttoning your frock, and the coachman who drives you to and from the station. It is not necessary to go around to every servant on the place when many are kept. Some hosts object stren uously to a tip and forbid their ser vants to accept any. This position, If known, must he respected. Generally your hostess will let you know In a quiet way how she feels on the sub ject. How much to give depends upon how much one can afford. It Is fool ish from false pride to cripple one's self by gifts or stay at home from a visit because you cannot afford to tip. Both maids and hostess usually know your financial status, and the latter would only be worried by ex travagant tipping. If you have made demands upoq the time of a maid, such aa asking her to press a dress for you, she should be quietly given something for her trouble at the time. You would have to pay an outsider for such work, and have nc right to expect it as a favor. If at all possible do not get into the way of expecting your friends' maldi to do such things for you. Hunt up a laundress, or, if you can do your own pressing, ask your hostess when it will be convenient for you to ge into the laundry to do a little fresh ening up to your clothes. If she in sists on having it done for you, ac cept, as she may prefer it to your presence in her kitchen. Make It a rule, whenever possible, to pay for your baggage on the train. This saves embarrassment later. In the country where you must be met it is out of the question, but try to be present to fee the men who carry your trunk to your room. Never fee ostentatiously. It Is the height of bad taste. Also do not get Into the habit of letting your hosts pay your way as a right. There are many excursions where the hosts assume . all obligations; these must not be questioned, 'iut ac cepted gracefully. If you propose little trips, or if you pay a long visit, insist upon paying your share of car fare and other expenses. The money side of visiting requires delicate handling. You do not wish to be a "beat or a "sponge;" oa the other band, nothing Is In worse tacte than over-Independence or bickering acceptance of the gracious hospitality that would assume all financial re sponslblllty for a guest.
