Henry A .ul.a were an Ideal couple—ox- ' > ; ; for their different viewpoints on i>>! - cco, and the hurnlng of it. Every little while, In spite of hlm'If, Henry was inspired to mention the cozlnes> of his home. Praise would escape him and then he would Immediately regret the words that invariably brought on the one argu-
ment.
'The house would be even better If it weren't lor the small of that messy old tobacco," Agatha would protest. ''That’s where you are wrong,” Henry would point out. “This place is as perfect as a palace could be. It i so immaculate and precise that It seems unreal—like a picture, almost. It is just the smell of tobacco that gives it the reality and makes It homelike.” “How can that messy old pipe make this place homelike?” Agatha would come buck. "Now you said it,” Henry would exclaim, turning from the cozy fireplace. “Take this pipe—” "1 wish 1 could.” “Be serious, Agatha. Now, as I say, take this pipe. You would have It looking nice and new and shiny. But what makes tlUs pipe so attractive is that It Is all stained and seasoned. . it's aged." j "Then 1 suppose I should stain nil | my furniture and curtains and draperi les and things.” I “Not exactly; but they have to get atmosphere—" “They certainly do. I have to leave the windows open nearly the whole
day,"
And Henry would quit In despair. Eventually Agatha won a temporary victory and Henry consented to abstain from smoking at home. It meant a great sacrifice on his part and a sacrifice that Agatha could not fully appreciate. She could not realize that It meant a great exertion of will power to stop the habit of years. Home hud been about the only place he could smoke, unless he went for a walk. But it was not alone the soothing effects of tobacco he missed; It was sitting before the fireplace and calmly enjoying his pipe which rested and delighted him. Henry could not but show the effects of Ifls abstlnencei. His nerves became jumpy and he became more and more Irritable. Henry understood himself and his wife better than did Agatha. He realized that his nerves were on edge; and he knew his onlycure was to win back his privilege of smoking. Fortunately, one day Agatha overcame her customary aversion to answering salesmen who went around from door to door; hut by peeking from behind the curtains she decided that the man waiting on the porch was of u higher type than the ordinary peddler. "Good morning, madam,” declared the salesman with a genial smile. "1 hope you will pardon what I have to say, for I can see you are an exceptionally good housekeeper; hut my business makes me rather keen of scent and I believe I am correct In stating that at present (or at least very recently) some male member of your family has smoked considerably." “Can you smell It?" gasped Agatha. “But he doesn't smoke now.” “Surely, you haven’t stopped him?" exclaimed the man In such n tone that Agatha was alarmed. "Why you must not understand what an effect that has on a man. It disrupts his nervous system, makes him petulant and may lead to general physical and mental deterioration." "I don’t know," defended Agatha, ••and I did so hate the smell.” “Of course, and that is why It is so fortunate Oiut I am able to come to your assistance. 1 am bringing you a boon to humanity. A smokeless tobacco. Think of it, an Invention that will supply your husband with tobacco and not stain your curtains. Now, of course, being new, it is a bit expensive. This special box Is $10. Afterwards your husband can get It wholesale at much cheaper prices. Hut it Is economical and I am sure the contents of this package will last him as long as would $10 worth of smoking tobacco.” The gentleman made n sale. Agatha was so enthusiastic with the new Invention that she did not break the seal on the box, but waited until Henry came home. Then she told him how he uow had her permission to use tobacco to bis heart’s content and she presented him with the box. There was something peculiar about Henry’s expression as he examined the contents, and with fluttering of heart Agatha questioned him. "Why, you've only paid $10 for about 20 cents worth of tobacco.’ “But it Is smokeless." "Righto. It’s chewing tobacco. Of course, If you prefer to have me acquire the habit of chewing tobacco—" j “No.” I “Exactly. I prefer to smoke my I self.’* That evening Henry paid a cull ; unaccompanied by his wife. "You can keep the $10, .loe. It was J worth it. She’ll never object to m> ! smoking again, lest I should remind 1 her how she was stung. It s rough on i the poor girl, I"* 1 absolutely necessary j for our mutual happiness.”

Fearlessness of the Readings. The writer of this when he Was In the army during the war was ordered to France on the Mauretania, which then was being used as a transport. Lord Reading had been summoned back to England for a conference and was a passenger on the steamship and with him was his wife. The Mauretania, being a fast ship, went unescorted. Lady Reading was accompanied by her maid and the two were the only women passengers on the great ship which carried about 0,0<i0 American troops. It was unquestionably n perilous voyage, for the Germans were looking for the big ships, but it was remarked by the American officers on board that Lady Reading, and her maid showed themselves less concerned about danger than any of the other passengers. Lord Rending busied himself making friends with the American soldiers on the transport. He was democratic and unassuming to the last degree. The British ambassador lives in n house on Connecticut avenue, directly across the street from the Presbyterian church of the Covenant. In the middle of the street In a little triangular plot of land there has been erected a statue to John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian divine and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It was Witherspoon who was particularly militant In his attacks on the polhdes of Great Britain during the days which preceded the American Revolution. In fact It was said that the British desired to get hold of him in order to hang him.

Then came a morning when he entered his office In an especially guy mood. "The old geezer’# gone dippy for sure," commented the office boy as Philip went earrolling through the outer office. Morton sat down to read his morning’s mall and chuckled over it as he did so, though, goodness knows, there was nothing to chuckle over In that bunch of letters. Finally, turning to his stenographer, he said: "Miss Prim, you have been In my employ a long time. We may be said to know each other Intimately. I am going to surprise you. I have decided that the married state Ls the only one really conducive to happiness.

As for Miss Prim, what woman who had waited as long as she bad for one proposal would not have been flattered to have bad two within ten days?
