All Sunsets Are Not Alike.
Mr. and Mrs. Peterby were sitting on their piazza. It was late afternoon and the sun was making his final preparation- to gild the western heavens. Peterby sat in mute admiration. “Did you ever see such a superb sunset?” he exclaimed, rapturously. “It is simply wonderful! Amazing!” Mrs. Peterby did not join in his enthusiasm. She shifted uneasily in her chair. “You would think anything was good,” she replied. “You've just had a good dinner. But it’s just an ordinary sunset. notbing more.” "Where are you going?" asked Pe* terby. “Why can’t you sit still? Just like a woman. No artistic appreciation.” • ■ “I’ll be back presently,” repl lad Mrs. Peterby. Four or five minutes passed. She came back and sat down. There was a silence. It is beautiful,” whispered Mrs. Peterby. “Don’t think I ever saw a finer sunset. See that exquisite coloring off there —and those feather effects. Perfectly lovely!” Peterby turned his face slowly and gazed at her. “What did you do in the house just now,” he asked. Mrs. Peterby’s face beamed. Why, she replied, “the cook was going to leave, but she told me she would stay another month.”—Success Magazine.
