.SEPIKMBEP. 30, 186. THE BEST WIFE IS THE WOULD. BT AMT RANDOLPH. "The best little wife in the world!" said Herbert Ainscourt. Ot' course I dare say," responded Mr. Portcross. "But what's yo.ar exact idea of the best wife in the world? Jonea tayes he's got the best wife in the world, becaua she keeps his stockings darned, takes him to church three times of a Sunday, and never lets him have an idea of his own. Jenkins says lie's got the same identical article, but Jenkins' wife keeps all the money, draws his sal ary for him, and makes him live in the back kitchen because the parlor is too good for the family to use." "Oh! but Daisy isn't a bit ogreish a little submissive, soft-voiced thing that ha-n't an idea except what is reflected from me. I tell you what, " old fellow, I'm the master of my own house; I come when I please, and go when I please. Daisy never ventures on a word of reproach." "Then, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, larking around at the clubs 83 you do, dissipated-bachelor fashion." "Ashamed! what of?" . "Why, I suppose you owe some duties to your wife?" "Where's the harm? My wife doesn't cae." "Probably you think so because she is quiet and submissive; but if she were to object " "Object! I'd like to hear her try it." "Now, look here, Ainscourt, your wife may be a model wifa, but you certainly are not a model husband. People are beginning to talk about the way you neglect that pretty little blae-eyed girl." "I'll thank people to mind their own business. Neglect her, indeed! Why, man, Hove her as I love my own soul." "Then, why don't you treat her as if you did?" "Oh, come, Portcross, that question just shows what a regular old bachelor you are. It won't do to make too much of your wife, unless you want to spoil her." Mr. Portcross shook his head. "That sounds selfish. I don't like the ring of that metal." And he went away, Ainscourt to finish hi3 iiards at leisure. leaving Mr. gams of bil"What a regular old fuss-budget Portcross is," laughed the latter. "Always poking his nose into somebody elso's business. There's one comfort I never pay any attention to what he says." Meanwhile Mrs. Ainscourt was sitting alone in her drawing-room, her two little white hands tightly locked in one another, and her fair head slightly drooping a delicate little apple-blossom of a woman, with blue, wistful eyes and curly flaxen hair, looking more like a grown-up child than a wife of twenty-ono summers. "Oh dear!" sighed Daisy. "It is so dull here. I wish Herbert would come home. He never spends any time with me now-a-days, and I practice all his favorite songs, and read the newspaper, so I can talk about the thiDgs he's interested in, and try so hard to be entertaining. It's very strange." And then Ler oval face brightened into sudden br'.llianco, and the sparkles stole into her eyes; for thequiek ear had detected her husband's footsteps on the stairs. The next moment he came in. "Well, pet, how are you?" with a playful piuch of her cheek. "There are some bon-bons for you. Where are my light gloves?" "O Herbert! you are notgoiDg away again?" "I must, Daisy. There are a lot of fellows going to drive to High Bridge, aud I'm ono of the party. You can go over to my mother's for dinner, or send for one of your friends, or something. There, good-bye,Jpuss, I'm in a deuce of a hurry." And with one careless kiss pressed on the quivering damask rose of a mouth that was lifted up to him, he was gone. Daisy Ainscourt neither went to her mother-in-law, nor sent for ono of her girl-friends. She spent the evening all alone, pondering on the shadow which was fast overgrowing her life. "What shall I do? ' thought the little timid, shrinking wile. "Oh, what sZiatt I do?" But, child as she was. Daisy had a strong, resolute woman's heart within her, nor was she long in coming to a decision. "Daisy," said her husband to her the next day, "you haveu't any objections to my attending the Orion Bal Masque Are ma lsked balls nice places, Herbert?" "Oh yes, everybody goes; only I thought I'd pay you the compliment of a 'king whether you disapproved or not." "Can I go with you?" "Well ahem not very well, this time, Daisy. irou see, Mrs. Fenchurch really hinted.so strongly for me to take her. that 1 couldn t help it. "Very well," assented Daisy, meekly and Herbert repeated within himself the pecan of praises he had chanted in Mr. Portcross' ears: "The best little wife in the world!" But, notwithstanding all this, Mr. Ainscourt was not exactly pleafei, when, at the selfsama Bal Masque, during the gay period of unmaaking, he saw his wife's innocent faej crowning the picturesque continue o- a bavarian peasant girl. "Hallo!"' he ejaculated, rather un graciously, "you here!" "Yes," lisped Daisy, with a girlish smile. "You said everybody went! And oh, Herbert, isn't it nioi V" Mr. Ainscourt said nothing more, but Mrs. Fenchurch found him a very stupid companion for the remainder of the evening. He was lata at dinner the next day, but, late as he was, he found himself more punctual than his wife, and the solitary meal was half over before Mrs. Daisy tripped in, her cashmere shawl trailing over her shoulders, and her dimpled cheeks all pink with the fresh wind. "Am I behind time.? Really, I am so sorry! But we have been driving in the park, and " "Wc! Who are ice?" growled her husband. "Why. Colonel Adair and f the Colonel Adair that you go out with so much." "Now, look here, Daisy!" ejaculated Mr. Ainscourt, rising from the table and pushing back his chair, "Adair isn't exactly the man I want you to drive with!" "But you go everywhere with him !" "I dare say but you and I are two different persons." "Now, dear Herbert," interposed Daisy, wilfully misunderstanding him, "you know I never was a bit proud, and the associates that are good enough for my husband are good enough for me. Let me give youafsw more oysters." Ainscourt looked sharply at his

THURSDAY..

wife. Wa3 slie really in earnest, or was there a mocking undercurrent of Batire in her tone? But he could Dot decide, so artless was her counte

nance. " - I'll talk to her about it sometime, was his internal decision. "Daisy," hataid, carelessly, when dinner was over, "I've asked old Mrs. Barberry to come and spend the day with you to-morrow.' "Oh, have you? I'm sorry, for I am cogaged out to- morrow. "You! Where?" . . . "Oh, at Delmonico s I ve joined a Woman's Kigbts Club, and we meat there to organize." "The deuce take woman s rights! ejaculated the irate husband. "Of course I don't believe in them, but it's the fashion to belong to a club, and such a nice place to go to evenings. I am dull tere evenings, Herbert." Herbert's heart smote him, but he answered, resolutely: "I beg you will give up this ridic ulous idea. What do women want of clubs?" "What men do, I suppose." "But I don't tpprove ef it at all." " You beloDg to three club?. Herbert." "That's altogether a different matter. "But why is it different?" "Hem why? because- of course anybody can see why it's selfevident." "I must be very blind," said Mr3. Ainscourt, demurely, but I confess I can't discriminate the essential difference." Herbert Ainscourt said no more, but he did not at all relish the change that had lately come over the spirit of Daisy's dream. She did change, somehow. She went out driving, here, there, and everywhere. He never knew when he was certain of a quiet evening with her; she joined not only the club, but innumerable societies for a thou sand and one purposes, which took her away from home almost contin ually. Mr. Ainscourt chafed against the bit,- but it was useless. Daisy always had an excuse to plead. Presently her mother-in-law bore down upon her, an austere old lady in black satin and a chestnut-brown wig. Daisy, you are making my son wretched." "Am I?" cried Daisy. "Dear me I hadn't an idea of it! What's the trouble?" , "You must ask himself," said the mother-in-law, who believed sensible old lady in young married people's settling their own difficulties. "All I know is the bare fact." So Daisy went home to the drawing-room, where Herbert lay off the sofa pretending to read, but in reality brooding over his troubles. 1 "What's .the matter, Herbert?'' said Daisy, kneeling on the floor beside him, and putting her soft, cool hand on his fevered brow. "The matter? Nothing muoh, only I am miserable," he sullenly answered"But why?'1 sho presisted. "Because you are so changed, Daisy." "Ifow am I changed?" "You aro never at home; you have lost the domesticity which was in nay eye?, your greatest charm. 1 never have you to myself any more. Daisy, don't you see how this ia embittering my life?" "Does it make you unhappy?" she asked, softly. "You know that it does, Daisy." "And do you suppose I liked it, Herbert?" "What do you mean?" he asked. "I mean that I passed the first year of my maried life in just such a lonesome way. You had no 'domesticity.' Club, drives, billiard playing, and champagne suppers , engrossed your whole time. I, your wile, pined at home alone." "But why diiln't you tell me you were unhappy?" "Because you would have laughed at the idea, and culled it a woman's whim. 1 resolved, when we first married, to fritter away neither time nor breath in idle complaints. I have not complained; I have simply followed your , example. If it was not a good ono, whose fault was that? Not mine, surely." "No, Daisy, not yours." "I don't, like this kind of life," went on Daisy. "It is a false excitement a hollow diversion; but I persist in it for the same reason, I suppose, that you did because it was the fashion. Now tell me, Herbert, whether you prefer a fashionable wife, or Daisy?" "Daisy a thousand times Daisy!" "But Daisy can't get along with a theatre-going, club-living husband." "Then she shall have a husband who finis his greatest happiness at his own hearth-stone whose wife is his dearest treasure who ha3 tried the experience of surface and finds it unsatisfactory. Daisy, shall we begin Our matrimonial career anew?". And Daisy's whispered answer was, "Yes." "But what must you have thought of me all this time?" sho asked him, after a little while. - "I know what I think now" "And what is that?" "I think," said Mr. Ainscourt, with emphasis, "that you are the best wifo in the world." THE IV O VIZ LT "if Is theonly Wrlnsor that his the PATl'T FLAXC1K t oti WHEELS on both ends of the Rolls.
