Her System.

Mr. Compton prepared to have one of his serious talks with his small, vivacious wife —one of the talks which always ended in his being completely routed. A “I want to speak to you about the household money, dear,” he began, in his most calm and' judicial tone, although the fact that Mrs. Compton stood behind him, ♦rylng to brush hts hair the way it did not go Interfered with the effect of his words, he knew. “I don’t understand how It is that when I give you an unusual amount you spend it all, and yet when I don’t give you so much you seem to get along all right.” Mrs. Compton left her unsatisfactory task and him, wideeyed. “Why, I should think anybody could understand that,’’ she said. “When you can’t give me so much, I just save out the items that come over the amount and pay them up the first week you give me a lot, and put them down then. It’s just the simplest kind of thing! But, then, I’ve always thought men didn’t understand simple things as well as complicated ones.” — Youth’s Companion;
