THE EVENING REPUBLICAN RENSSELAER, INB.

Diplomacy

By EARL REED SILVERS .

With Mr. Ted Baldwin it was a case of “I can dance with everybody but my wife.” He and Betty had been married for a year and a half and in that time they had never once disagreed on a single subject—-except dancing. In his bachelor days Ted had rather prided himself on his ability in the terpslchorean art, a!nd the compliments which several maidenly hopefuls showered upon him only strengthened- his belief that he could easily and happily dance his way through life. And then he had met Betty Williams. Betty cared more for playing tennis than she did for dancing, and when Ted had danced with her once or twice he too showed a decided preference for the freedom of the courts. Even Betty’s most ardent admirers admitted that the young lady In question wouldnever be another Mrs. Vernon Castle. But Ted had married her just the same. "What difference does it make?” he had said to himself. “There are other things in life besides dancing.” And then, strange as it may seem, Betty Baldwin, nee Williams, conceived a sudden desire to learn all the latest steps. Through the long winter season she dragged Ted regularly to the weekly hops at the Country club, using her wifely prerogative to make him dance every single number with her. Her natural bent, however, was still toward tenuis. After a month or 80 of endless fox trotting and waltzing the week-ends became veritable nightmares to the otherwise happy husband. He ventured a protest. “I don’t think you’ll ever be much of a dancer, Betty,” he advised her pleasantly. "Let’s not go to the club tonight.” Betty answered not a word. For a moment she gazed at her husband with wide-opened eyes; then, suddenly she dropped her head In her dimpled arms and burst Into tears. Thereafter Ted bore his cross In silence. The dancing subject was taboo. When the date of tjie annual assembly ball rolled around, however, Ted grew well nigh desperate. A worldfamed orchestra had been engaged to provide music, and twenty-five dances had been placed upon the cards. Moreover, Mildred Chatfield, whom Ted had not seen for three years and who was the most wonderful dancer he had ever known, had arrived In Glenwood and had stated her Intention of attending the ball. She reminded Betty’s husband not to forget to dance with her. On the evening of the dance young Mr. Ted Baldwin gazed with halfopened eyes at his wife, sitting opposite. Suddenly a plan flashed Into his mind. ■ ■ . === '"Betty,” he said, “we’ve been married for almost two years now, haven’t we?” “Yes,” she answered, "one year and eight months.” “And we’ve never had a disagreement.” “Never.” "What’s the reason?” "Don’t you know?” She looked at him Inquiringly. "I don’t think I do.” “Well, TU tell you. It’s because your wife, whom you don’t half appreciate, has resolved to overlook all of your faults and to smile indulgently whenever you do anything wrong.” Ted’s face lighted. - =F=

“Do you mean to say that whatever I do, you’ll simply smile and let It pass?” “That’s what I have been doing for the past twenty-odd months.” Ted nodded. "Yes,” he answered seriously. “When I come to think of it you’re right.” He walked around the table and kissed one of her ruddy cheeks. “But Til bet you a box of candy Against a good cigar that I can do something that will make you angry.” “What kind of thing?” “It won’t be wrong,” he explained, “and it won’t’ be mean; but I’ll bet you’ll be angry just the same.” “I don’t think I shall.” She held out her hand. "Shake,” she said. They shook. < After his wife had adjourned to the upper regions, Ted took a piece of note paper carefully from the desk in the library, wrote a single Sentence upon it and tucked the sheet carefully in his wallet Then he smiled a smile of infinite content For the first time that winter he looked forward with pleasure to a dance at the Country club. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Baldwin arrived at the ball in due time, paid their respects to the dignified reception com- 6 mlttee, and stumbled aropgd timroom to the accompaniment of the most glorious music they had ever heard. At the conclusion of the first one-step, however, Ted politely excused himself and made hl* way to the side of Miss Mildred Chatfield. "Hello, Millie 1” he greeted pleasantly. “How many dances- are you going to give me?” She looked at him with a twinkle in her eye. "You’re a' i.’.al lied ’.ian now,” she answered, ■‘■•.n’ 1 i.'.dnk I ought

to dance with yon too much. How many do you want?” “Ten.” Her eyes opened in surprise. “What will Betty say?” she questioned. He smiled confidently. “Not a word," he answered. “Betty Is a model wife; she never gets angry.” Mildred accepted the challenge in his voice. “All right,” she decided. “You may have ten dances with me.” During the first part of the evening Mrs. Ted Baldwin gazed rather wonderingly at her husband’s flushed face. He seemed to be having a good time. He danced with her often, as a dutiful husband should, but at the conclusion of each number he hastened away. Betty’s ability to trip “on the light fantastic toe” was well known to the male members of the club, and as the evening progressed Mrs. Ted found herself rather frequently marooned with the dowagers and wall flowers. She realized suddenly that Ted was not dancing with her as often as usual. During one especially appealing fox trot she searched the crowded floor for her husband, and discovered him dancing with Mildred Chatfield. Thereafter, when the opportunity offered, she followed, with her eyes, the wanderings of Ted. To her surprise she discovered that he was dancing every other dance with Mildred. She smiled indulgently, trying to convince herself that it didn’t matter much; that Ted was just thoughtless. But when the next to the last dance arrived, and she watched her husband accomplishing some unusually fancy steps with Miss Chatfield, her face took on a look at sullen resentment For the remainder of the evening she maintained a dignified silence. , They rode home together in the small town car, Ted talking of nothing in particular, mentioning what a good time he had had, and hqw they must continue to attend the dances. Upon reaching home, however, Betty threw off her wraps and suddenly turned to her husband with flashing eyes. “I think you’re horrid,” she announced. Her husband smiled. “Why, Betty,” he exclaimed, “what’s the trouble.” “You know just as well as I do what the trouble is. I don’t intend to be ignored at dances.” “But I didn’t ignore you; I danced with you lots of times.” “But not as much as you did with Miss Chatfield,” Betty retorted spiritedly. “You’re not angry, are you?” “I certainly am.” Suddenly Mr. Ted Baldwin smiled triumphantly. “You owe me a cigar,” he announced. Mrs. Ted looked at him with wide opened eyes. "You didn’t do It just for that, did you?” she asked. “I surely did.” For a moment Betty regarded him doubtfully. Then her chin went up in the air. "I don’t believe you,” she said; Very slowly the man drew his wallet from his pocket and, extracting a sheet of paper therefrom, handed it to his wife. “Read this!” he commanded. Mrs. Ted glanced hastily over the paper. “I am going to dance with Mildred Chatfield lots of times tonight, just to get Betty angry,” she read. She looked up suddenly to find her husband smiling into her eyes. “And is that the only reason you did it?” she asked. He nodded. In another moment Betty’s arms were around his neck. "You’re a darling,” she said. “And I’ll buy that cigar tomorrow.” Over his wife’s shoulder Mr. Ted Baldwin smiled discreetly. (Copyright, 11)17, by the MoClura Newspaper Syndicate.)

HER BELIEF

“And you really believe that Helen’s marriage was an affair of the heart?” “Of course I do. She was led to believe that the rich old duffer she married had a weak heart.”

War Has Caused Changes.

A tradition of Oxford and Cambridge has been completely broken. For-the first time since the days of Charles the First a whole generation of undergraduate life has dropped out. Men now at the front, who ordinarily would enter thg-jearned professions, will not be willing to return to go through the normal undergraduate course. It will take too big a slice out of life, and the de; mand for men will be far too urgent, and the tasks to be done so great. It will be up to the universities to give to these practical young men who come back the essence of a liberal education, and to do it in theonly way that they would, generally speaking, be ready to submit to, namely, in some shortened way, and in a way that obviously bore directly upon life.—London Times.

The Informing Movies.

“Are there any educational films at the picture theaters today?” asked the studious-looking person. “Depends on how you want to be educated,” replied the movie fan. "We have films on exhibition at the local photoplay house showing how blackmailers take advantage of the Mann act, the way ‘vampires’ break up happy homes, the corrupting Influence of cabarets and the reasons why police captains in large cities are able to retire after a few years of service with large fortunes.”

As the Poet Says.

“Co-operation Is the secret of a successful household,” remarked the sociologist. "That’s what I used to think,” answered Mr. Gllthers, “but It has been so long since Mrs. Gllthers would tolerate my Interference In household affairs, I have about concluded that 'they also serve who only stand and wait.’ ”
