Cranston bought a bicycle and learned to ride well there was a disagreement which came very near breaking up a happy home They had been married three years and they had often said that their married life had been one long honeymoon Tom had yielded so readily to all of his wifes whims that she had uncon sciously gained an Gplnion that her word was to him like the laws of the Medes and the Persians But this idea was all knocked to pieces when one morning as they sat ss breakfast Mrs Cranston said Tom Im going to order my dress maker to make a suit of bloomers for me to day I do so much bicycling now that skirts are too heavy for me What shouted Tom dropping his spoon in the oatmeal and spattering milk all over his necktie looking at her as though she had announced that she twj ijoing to commit suicide e73 Cranston also dropped her spoon and looked in surprise at her husband I said she repeated that I was go ing to get a bloomer suit What strikes you as particularly strange about that What strikes me as particularly strange he repeated with a wild look in his eyes Do you think for one in stant that I will allow my wife to race around town looking like a lithograph of a variety entertainment Not much But Tom said Louise in a tone that had never failed to persuade her husband that she was right and that he was wrong I dont see why I cant have bloomers Mrs Kynaston and Mrs Bentley and Mrs Jennings all wear them and their husbands dont object so why should you It makes no difference why I should said Tom doggedly I dont intend to have my friends on the exchange coming to me and saying Tom I see your wifes wearing bloomers Not if I know it But Tom she began I Oh dont talk any more nonsense Louise he broke in I am sick of it You shant wear bloomers so that set tles it And Mr Cranston whose ap petite had been entirely taken away by his wifes announcement got up from the table and started for the door Good by -he called from the hall and then the door slammed and Louise sat at the breakfast table wondering how it was that she had never before known that her husband had a will of his own She had told all of her friends only the day before that she would be wear ing bloomers within a week and when they had suggested that her husband might object she had said What Tom object Why he never objects to anything And now Tom had absolutely refused to allow her to wear them with a facial expression which showed that he would not stop short of the divorce courts to prevent it Finally she arose from the table and went to her room N She had an idea which she thought if properly carried out would gain Toms consent to the wearing of bloomers She wTrote a hurried note to her dressmaker ordering a bloomer suit of a pattern which she had already selected and then donned her old bicycle suit to pay a call on Mrs Kynaston who had a husband that did not object to bloom ers She told her troubles to the vivacious Mrs Kynaston who was not sparing in her sympathy for the poor friend wTho had a narrow minded husband who ob jected to a convenient bicycle dress Why how foolish oi him she said I dont believe the poor man has ever seen a proper bicycling costume Ill tell you what well do Well all go bicycling this afternoon and come back by your house at just the time your hus band gets home and he will see what a bloomer suit looks like And so the bicycle party was arrang ed and when Thomas Cranston arrived at his house that evening he saw five women riding in front of the house and four of them were in full bloomer cos tume The fifth who wore skirts was his wife He was not so badly shocked as he thought he would be and he wished that he had not been so decided in his refusal of his wifes request but he made up his mind that it would be un manly to yield after his remarks of the moaning and so with a bow to his wife and her companions he went indoors and began to dress for dinner That night Louise again broached the subject of bloomers but her husband si lenced her by saying Now see here Louise dont speak to me about bloomers again You may go in for womens rights if you like and you may wear standing collars and mens waistcoats but you shall not wear trousers even if bicycling does justify it in your eyes1 Trousers cried Louise indignantly Who said anything about trousers I was talking about bloomers I know you were said Mr Cran ston and please dont talk about them any more Im tired of it and I wont hear it mentioned again The next morning when Mr Cranston put on his coat to start for his office his wife called him brick and said Tom Ill promise youjiever to men tion bloomers again but if you ever change your mind about them please tell me for Im really very anxious to wear them The smile which for twenty four hours had been absent from Tom Cran stons face came again and be kissed his wife Thats a dear good girl Louise he said I hated to refuse your request but really I dont like the idea of your wearing those things And now if there is anything else you want me to do for you just name it and Ill do it He went away but returned in a mo ment and called out Oh Louise Im going to a dinner at the club to night and I want you to have my dress suit handy when I come home Good by Now then said Louise as she went upstairs Ill see if I cant make Mr Tom change his opinion about bloom ers That promise of his was the very thing I wanted The hour longed for by both came at last Tom entered the house and rushed to his room to put on his dress suit Oh Tom Louise called while he was dressing come down here I want you to redeem your promise of this morning and do me a favor All right he called Ill be down in a minute and Ill keep my promise He found his wife sitting on the floor with a dress pattern in front of her and dress goods scattered all around Well whats all this he asked Are you making a rag carpet What is it you want me to do for you If its to clean up all this mess here I shall re fuse for I have some work to do next week No she said laughing I dont want you to clean up the mess and Im not making a rag carpet Im making a bicycle dress which I must have early to morrow morning and I want you to let me drape the skirt on you so that it will hang all right But Louise he objected Ive got to -go out to that dinner at 8 oclock and its nownearly 7 1 wont have time I cant let it go for I must have it to morrow morning she insisted Youve promised to do what I asked and now when I want you to do a little thing like this you refuse and I think its real mean Mrs Cranston stood up holding a pat tern in one hand and an unfinished dress in the other and looked as though she were about ic burst into tears Oh come now Louise he said im patiently Cant you see that your re quest is trivial and unreasonable and I must go to that dinner The tears that had seemingly been held back with such an effort now be came visible and rolled down her cheeks I think its mean she sobbed You promised to do anything I wanted you to -and now you wont keep your word Ive cut up my other dress and the bi cycle party is of just as much import ance as your old dinner Mr Cranston looked grave He did not want to lose that dinner and he didnt want to break his promise How long will this fitting business last he questioned after several mo ments silence broken only by the sob bing of his wife About half an hour she replied brightening up a little Well then hurry up said Crans ton throwing off his coat and standing erect Bring the thing here And so the gown was put on Mr Cranston and Louise dropped on one knee and began pinning the draperies in a hurried manner You see Tom she said as she tuck ed up the first fold and surveyed it with a critical eye this is of the great est importance to me and I know you will help me out Um was the only answer her hus band made He was looking straight at the clock and wondering how it was that the minute hand was moving so fast He thought thattheclock must be out of order He pulled out his watch and saw that the minute hand there moved with the same railroad speed and it was 730 oclock Are you anywhere near through he asked impatiently She shook her head and turned her attention to the dress Tom fumed as he noticed that it was now 745 Have you any idea how soon you will be through he asked with a forced calmness Not the slightest she replied in a voice that was either muffled by pins or laughter Tom couldnt tell which for she was stooping and studying the hem of the dress At that moment the door opened and Mr Kynaston the husband of Mrs Cranstons bloomer wearing friend threw open the door and stood gazing in open mouthed astonishment Why Tom he said wlien he re covered himself I thought you were going to call for me if you left down town first You know you told me so and said if I got ready first I was to come here and walk right in Are you going to the dinner This will be all over the exchange to morrow groaned Tom inwardly Yes Im going to the dinner if Louise ever gets through with ths miserable skirt he added aloud Oh nonsense why- dont she wwr bloomers Come on We are late al ready said his friend Louise whispered Cranston if youll call my promise off you may have bloomers or anything else you want Oh you dear good boy cried Louise with well feigned surprise Go to your dinner Now hurry or youll be late Then Tom after kissing her good by rushed off to the club Louise put on her bonnet and went to Mrs Kynastons house Katie she cried as her friend wel comed her at the door Im to have bloomers And then she told the story of the manner in which her husband had been induced to change his mind And she said in conclusion I bought the bloomers yesterday and Ill wear them to morrow You really cried did you asked Mrs Kynaston Well Lousie if you went in for woman suffrage we would have it in twenty four hours Talk about mens executive ability Why I believe you could make your husband wear bloomers himself New Yoru Evening Sun Bnms Liast Written Words In July 1796 the protracted ill ness from which Burns had been suf fering became so acute that he was ad vised to go to the seaside as a last re sort writes Arthur Warren apropos of the approaching centenary of Rob ert Burns death in the Ladies Home Journal He went off to Brow on Solway Firth All his thoughts at this time were of his wife whose condi tion was such as to warrant his fears His anxiety for her increasing he has tened back to Dumfries He was so weak on reaching home that he could hardly stand Barely able to hold a pen he wrote a note of appeal begging his wifes mother who was estranged from her daughter to come on to Dum fries as Jean was in urgent need of her care They were the last words ho ever wrote Let us not forget that the expiring effort of the failing genius was pelled by tender anxiety for his loving Avife In his dying hours he begged her if his mind should wander to touch him and thus recall him to him self It was as he wished The touch of his -Jean was the last sensation which Robert Burns carried with him to eternity He died on the twenty first of July 179G in the thirty eighth year of his age On the day of his burial his son Maxwell was born The little fellow lived less than three years The Scottish admiration for Burns was so great that his widow and chil dren three sons and two daughters were not suffered to know want A subscription of six thousand dollars was immediately raised for them Four years later that is to say in 1800 Cur ries well known edition of the poetg works appeared This realized seven thousand dollars more for the family These sums made a snug fortune in those days Duly invested the amount yielded an income for the modest though comfortable maintenance of Jean and her children Jean Burns

begins to cry its mother places her hand over its mouth and nips its nose so that it cannot breathe Then it is allowed to breathe freely again but should it make use of the opportunity to again set up a howl it is at once suppressed in the same way This is repeated till the baby imagines that the painful stoppage of the breath is caused by its own effort to scream and so is careful to keep quiet
