query. Sho certainly arouses tho neg-

Miss llpnn sonrna twlpn In flm tilnvv

fond wife, who waits on every nod and
occk or her lord. As her solicitation i
for his comfort nnd linnnlnoss In'.
creases his Indifference likewise In
creases. Then he starts to pay open
and marked attentions to the women
around him.
The climax comes nt a dinner, when
he utterly ignores his wife for a scat
tered urameu young tiling m llasny anjl
scant attire. Next appears Miss Dean
likewise Eowned in extreme? mode. She
loses her sedatcness and becomes a
lively, enchanting young person. She
Is so full of good spirits nnd vivacity
that all the men flock nround hor.
Her husband sees hor hero with
one admirer, there with niuther, till
he begins to think sho is the most de
sirable woman in the wnrlil. Hln nt-
tempts to win her back meet with ensy
rebuffs, as his wife seems content to let

When the wife realizes that ho has
learned his lesson sho gracefully slips
back Into her simple rolo again and
Joins her husband In a little birth-
