They think that marriage should be like a I wet sponge ovei: a slate blotting out all of a woman's past life and that 4 she should henceforth tako no interest and feel no affection for any one but, themselves. They resent their wives going to sce their families and still more their wives‘ families coming to visit them. And often, even when they arc rich, they are not ivilling for their wives to givc their fani- llics a penny even in the dircst necessity.

Of course. it is nothing but jealousy that inspires this kind of conduct in a man. I-lc is determined to monopolize his wife and he cannot en- dure the thought that uiiy part of her affection goes to any one else. Also, his vanity makes him winii. to be supreme with his iviic, and it infuriatcs him to know that her family" have any influence with her. That is why when a woman says to her husband that “mother says so and so‘ or "fzitlici- thinks thus and thus“ it is like waving a red flag at a mad bull,

And is it strange that any man or woman who tries to alienate a husband or wife from his or her family has not intelligence enough to sec that loyiihy and love and gratitude are not spasmodic virtues, but that they iiro integral parts of a character, and that the husband or wife who could be ucancd from their parents and their larothcrs and sisters could also be weaned from them. l

him a roar of applause, mingled with cries of "Marigold."

Another shout made his pause at the exit of his box. "Author!" "Au- thor!" they were stilling.

"However did they know I ivas hero?‘ muttered Anthony to litm- sclf. then he remembered that he had given his card to the manager. That worthy had evidently spread the ncws that the author had rc- turncd from Amcritui.

"Author!" said Anthony bitterly to himself. “If I were the iiiithor of this I should hang myself."

The door of the corridor that led to the boxes wiis flung open, and Grenoble rushed in followed bv the inuiiagcr. -

"My dear fellow!" cried Grenoble, "Why didn't you send word to mo that you were here! You must come out and take your call. 'l'lir~ show is a winner!"

Anthony ignored the outstretched hand.

After the momentary hush, the roar increased tenfold. “Author! Author! Marigold! Marigold!"

"This is great, better than the first night!" cried, Grenoble. “You shall lead Marigold out with you to take your bow together." '

Anthony, with narrowed eyes, watched tlic producer's excitement coldly, from his shelter at the back of the box. An idea liiid conic to him to get rid of the incubus of Grenobles peculiar genius once for all.

He therefore followed the produc- iirtiiiciigii tho little IlOUr tutti led to tlic wings. Marigold was not to be seen. Grenoble dispatched someone to find her, but Anthony gripped the producer's wrist.

"There is no nged to brine, licr before the audience again," lie stud. "Like theplay, she is a thine o." your making."

Grenoble did not notice the lilliix

"Well, yes," he admitted, "I be- lieve I can take the credit for hav- ing made hcr what she is."

Anthony's rage grew colder and more determined. He dragged the producer, in spite of his protests that they must wait for Marigold, out between the heavy curtains full into sight of the audience, who stood and roared applause.

Having got‘ Grenoble there, An- thony stood of! a little and survey- ed the paunchy body and bald head silhouetted against the rich gold curtains.
