When Bob and Carrie Delafleld were
married they went, on returning from
their wedding trip, to their own house,
which was very large, containing sev
eral separate suits of ’ rooms. Both
had their ideas of decoration, and, hav
ing disputed over the colors for the In
terior of their bedrooms, they finally
concluded that the bride should direct
the decoration of one suit, while the
groom should select the colors for an
other. The first suit was to be the
bride’s rooms, the second the groom’s.
Mrs. Delafleld—that was to be—chose
for her apartments a very beautiful
shade of green. Bob Delafleld, who
had no artistic taste whatever, but
thought himself a connoisseur, espe
cially in colors, put his suit in red. It
wasn’t even one of those rich reds
which, when put In the right place,
are often very attractive.
“By Jove! That’s elaborate!" said
Bob when he saw his decorations com
plete. "And appropriate,’’ added his
wife, smiling, “for a member of the
Are department"
Since a bride and groom don’t care to
occupy separate apartments the couple
agreed that they would use the two
suits on alternate weeks. They tossed
a coin for the first choice, and Bob
won. So upon their return from their
wedding journey they occupied the red
suit
Now, it happened the day after their
arrival that Bob accidentally knocked
a cut glass pitcher—a wedding gift
especially cherished by the bride—off
a table and smashed it
“Dear I" exclaimed his wife in a
tone of anger. "What abominable
carelessness! I would rather have
had you break anything In the bouse
than that pitcher. It was Mollle’s gift”
“Do you suppose I Intended to break
it?” replied the husband, with a fierce
inflection on the word intended.
"Get away!"
Both had started to pick up the frag
ments, but at this order of his bride
Bob desisted and left the room, slam
ming the door behind him.
Bob was so Infatuated with what he
called the old rose color of his suit that
he had Induced his wife to order their
dinner there that same day. The
pitcher waa broken at noon. Carrie
sulked all the afternoon, and when
dinner was served her eyes were red.
while on her face was the expression
of an Injured woman. Only monosyl
lables were spoken at dinner by either.
This is a sample of what frequently
occurred during that first supposed to
be happy week at home after the hon
eymoon.
On the beginning of the second week
they removed to the bride’s suit, each
secretly vowing that should the scrap
py condition continue—and they ex
pected It would—they must have a rest
by temporarily separating.
It was Bunday morning when they
first awoke in their new quarters. A
bit of sunlight had stolen in through
the window, faintly Illuminating the
room. It seemed to Carrie that she
had been sleeping under the rustling
leaves of a tree and had awakened to
look upon a meadow robed In the ver
dure of the lovely month of June.
It at once occurred to her that she
had been very disagreeable to her hus
band, and she was heartily sorry for It
“Oh, Bob," she said, “what a horrid
creature I have been for the whole of
this first week of eur homecoming!”
"You mean that I have been positive
ly brutal.”
“Well, never mind whose fault It bus
been. We won’t do so any more.”
“By Jove, sweetheart, I believe I like
the decoration of your suit better than
mine, after alt”
“Yours Is very beautiful.’’
"How lovely It Is of you to say so!
You said when you first saw It that it
was appropriate for a fireman.”
“Did I? How mean of me! I think
Ifs lovely."
"What a clumsy brute I was to break
that beautiful cut class pitcher you
thought so much of. My carelessness
spoiled a whole week for us—our first
week In our beautiful home.”
“Never mind, dear; we’ll make up
for it In the second. We won’t speak
a cross word during the whole week,
will we?”
“No, we won’t”
They breakfasted In the green suit
as they called It and with every
mouthful exchanged endearments.
That day was a haven of rest to
them after seven days of Irritation.
They lounged about their home read
ing the morning newspapers, putting
little things that needed attention to
rights and giving each other only
words that sounded like the twittering
of mating birds. In the evening they
went to church, and every hymn, every
note of the organ, seemed to strike a
responsive chord within them.
"Oh, blessed seven days!” said the
wife the next Saturday afternoon.
"I’m sorry they are ended, but I doubt
not that the next seven will be equally
happy.”
“They have been so delightful that
I propose we continue right on In these
rooms for another week.”
"What difference can It make what
rooms we occupy? I will not admit
that we get on better tn my rooms
than In yours. The first week we were
tired froin having traveled so' long.
Besides, that hotel food upset us both.”
Now, the husband who had occasion
ally played poker with his friends was
a great believer In luck. He considered
that they were having a fine run of
luck in the green suit and was very
much opposed to the change. But
Carrie was bound to give up to her
husband in the matter, and when a
wife makes up her mind to do that
nothing can stop her. Bob used every
argument to Induce her to consent to
remain in her rooms, but failed. When
he found there was no use to struggle
with her any longer he gave in.
Sunday morning Bob dreamed that
he was In hell. About him was a lurid
light covering all the firmament. Sa
tan came to him and asked him why
he didn’t go to work at the furnaces,
and when he said he was tired and
didn’t wish to work the arch fiend
poked him with his pitchfork and
woke him up. The lurid glare of hades
dissolved into a lurid glare in his bed
room. A window shade had been left
up. and the sunlight was pouring in,
illuminating the red deeoratlous. Then
Carrie awoke and, sitting up in bed,
shaded her eyes with her bands.
"What an awful glare!” she exclaim
ed. "I thought you lowered that shade
last night. I told you to do so.”
"I don’t remember your telling me
any such thing.”
“I certainly did.”
“You didn’t.”
“I did.”
“What’s the matter with you this
morning?”
MV^kln<» »»
11VWUU10>
"You’re cross as a bear."
"First cast the beam out of your own
eye and you will see clear to cast the
mote out of mine.”
"I always heard the devil is good at
quotlug Scripture.”
He turned over, with a grunt, and
tried to go to sleep again, but the glare
in the room prevented. The wife lay
thinking. Where was the loveliness of
the past happy week? Their expecta
tions of u renewal were disappointed
on awaking the first morning. Bob
tossed about for awhile, then got up
and took his bath.
"Where the devil is the warm water
this morning?" he yelled from the bath
room.
“Didn’t 1 tell you yesterday that the
range fire had gone out?”
“What did you let it go out for? Do
you suppose a man wants to bathe in
ice water, especially on Sunday morn
ing?”
“Oh, shut up! You’ll drive me crazy.’’
Bob slammed the bathroom door.
Presently he came out with a razor In
his hand and blood on his chin.
“Cut yourself, dear?” asked his wife.
"Oh, don’t ’dear’ met Get me some
court plaster quick.”
She went to the medicine closet for
the court plaster, but since she couldn’t
And It at once he hurled maledictions
upon her. Finally she threw the court
plaster at him. went to her own suit
and shut the door. Bob didn’t expect
to see her again for hours. He was
agreeably disappointed. In half an
hour she came out, with an angelic
smile bn her face, and said:'
“Don't you think I'd better have the
breakfast served In my room Instead of
yours, dear?”
“No. I don't. You can have yours
served there If you like. I’m going to
eat mine In my own rooms.”
“All right, dear. Did you cut your
self badly?”
"Little you care whether I did or
not”
Carrie after fixing Bob’s coffee hand
ed it to hint and let go of it before he
had got a bold on It. The consequence
was that cup and saucer fell to the
table, the cup wus broken and the cof
fee soused over the white linen table
cloth.
Bob burst forth Into a torrent of pro
fanity. and Carrie, with flashing eyes,
left the table.
One hour later Bob, realizing that
the blessed day of rest that came but
once a week was likely to pass In mis
ery, went to his wife’s room to try for
a reconciliation. She was sitting at a
table writing some letters. It seemed
to him that she bad left him in hell
and he ha-1 followed her to the garden
of Eden. There was something delight
fully verdunt about the apartment.
Currie looked up at Mm lovingly. He
bent down and kissed her.
“What the deuce were we squabbling
about nnywuy?” he asked.
"1 dou't know, dear."
“Nor l. I ouly know 1 wanted to
kill some one.”
"And I felt as If 1 would fly out of
my sklu.”
The next day the family physician
was called In to see Mrs. Delafleld
and was received In the red suit Aft
er giving her some minute instructions
pertaiulng to her case he said:
“Have you other rooms-In the bouse
than these?"
”Yes. Why do you ask, doctor?”
"Because in your condition It will
never do for you to occupy these. The
red will have a very bad efTect upon
you. Bed will drive some persons to
Insanity."
“How would green do?”
“The very thing. Red Is terribly Irri
tating: green Is vefr restful. If you
have a room decorated In green, move
Into It at once.”
“Indeed I will, doctor.”
When Bob came home his wife met
Mm at the door and flung herself Into
his arms, radiant
"Oh, Bob.” she exclaimed, “there’s
no more need for us to quarrel! I’ve
found out the cause. It’s the red suit
The doctor has ordered me out of it
He says the green rooms are just the
thing for me. Don’t you know we’ve
always been pleasant with each other
there?”
“Come to think of It. I do."
“Oh. I’m so glad.’
“I expect it’s the red In many cou
ples’ lives that seta them to quarreling.”
