A Parting
Dinner
By ALAN HINSDALE
. ■ n
"Our marriage," said the wife, "has J
been a mistake. The sooner a mistake ■
la rectified the better. I am going to J
leave you."
"That'b toot a bad Idea," said the i
husband. "A bit of freedom from this I
new life that neither of us has yet j
become used to will give us a breath- I
lug spell, and If we come together f
again we will appreciate each other 4
all the more for It"
"That "If Is well put in."
"And If we don't come together
agntu Just think of the fun we'll
have!"
"Funr
Tea. I can remain out at a poker
pvty till 8 O'clock lu the morning If
I like, smoke aud drink to my heart's
content, spend no end of time sitting
do a stool before a glove counter with
ft pretty girl on the other side smooth
ing down my fingers with her soft
hand"—
"If these things are ro aeuguuui iu
jrotj why did you marry?"
"1 haven't come to your own enjoy
meuts consequent on the break yet
You can sit all day beside your moth
er, holding her bund nud listening to
her advice to you how to manage a
husband. Won't that be just too nice
for anything?"
"If you loved me one-tenth as well
as mamma does there would be no
need of a reparation."
"Oh, I conld never compete with a
mother's love! That Is not to be ex
pected. I suppose that's what gives
her a right to tell you just what course
to take respecting your husband. Now
that you're going to leave me. her ad
vice with respect to me will be no
longer necessary, and I wonder what
you and she will talk about when you
nestle down for n morning chin-chin."
Bhe was Inclined to think that, the
one Interesting topic being removed,
the chin-chin would be rather dull, but
she did not say so.
"There's one thing I propose to do."
continued the provoking husband. "As
soon as you are gone I'm going to
take down these curtains. I have en
dured them simply for your sake.
They shut out the light."
"Indeed, you will do no such thing!"
"Why so? It will not mutter to you
whether there are curtains here or
not. I shall make a smoking room of J
this, and you have always declared
that when smoke gets Into curtains ;
it's hard to get it out."
"A smoking room of this cozy apnrt- '
ment! Why, I arranged everything ,
here myself!"
"So you dm. ana a aenguuui room
you made of It. I remember when 1
first saw It 1 thought how many de
lightful sen noes we would have here.
I little thought that a few short
months would end it all."
-Whose fault Is It?"
"Mine."
"Why don't you do better?"
"I can't I'm uaturally wicked. If
I were not you wouldn't need to
leave me."
"Of course I don't want to leave
you, but you can't expect me to endure
such treatment forever."
"Certainly not. I deserve It all. But
It's sad to think of my having to dis
mantle this pretty room for a lot of
fellows who will throw clgnr and pipe
ashes all over the carpet and"—
"They will do no such thing! If
you're going to have those horrid men
here I—I—won't"—
"Won't go?"
"Yes, I'm going I have come to
that decision after long and careful
deliberation."
"And consultation with your mother."
This was a home thrust.
"If there Is any one who knows
what is best for the child she has
cared for and loved from babyhood It
Is surely her mother."
"I agree with you. Therefore the
daughter should never leave her moth
er."
"The daughter Is not expected to
marry a—a"—
"Brute! Rut we are wasting time
When do you go?"
""Are you In haste to be rid of me?"
"Not at all. I merely wish to make
arrangements for your departure
Will you permit me to see you to your
mother's house?'
"Who said I wns going to mamma r
"Very well. I will take you wber
lever you wish to go."
"You'll have to dine elsewhere to
day. I have made no preparations for
dinner here."
"Suppose we have n last dinner at
8klnners, with a bottle of that wine
you like bo well?"
She hesitated, and he suggested that
she telephone her mother that she
would not arrive Mil after dinner. This
last reference to her mother, though
highly respectful, railed a frown to
the wife's brow. Nevertheless she
went to the phone and sent the mes
sage. Then she dressed for the dinner
and came downstairs looking very
lugubrious.
"Have you sent your baggage?" he
asked mildly.
"No!" she snapped.
They dined with handsomely dressed
ladles and gentlemen to detract their
attention from their troubles, and mu
•lc iootbed them, and the wine warm
ed them. The dinner was excellent
and they spent an enjoyable evening
together. When thev drove away he
made no mention of the fact that she
had expected to go to her mother, but
directed the driver to take them to
their own home. I
