"Well," eald the Bookkeeper, "the
pood old summer time is here at last
The lumrocr widower has bloomed out In
all his dasxllng beauty on the root
gardens, and that's an unfailing sign tlia.
there Is going to be
a hot time in the
old town."
"Yes," assented
the Stenographer.
"I saw a bunch of
'cm last night look
ing like schoolboys
playing hookey and
risking about like
L'-year-olds. Funny,
isn't It, how the
loss of his wife al
wsys chirks a man
vp?"
"The procession
of of hump-should-cred,
listless,
grouchy men go
ing down to the
Grand' Central to
see their wives eff for tho summer, and
the same lino of dead-game sports, with
hats set at a wicked angle, who fox-trot
away 'rom the station after wtfeya car
pulls out, always make me think of the
'before and 'after' taking pictures of the
pstent medicine advertisements, while
a six months' real widower always goes
about looking as if he bad got money :
from home." !
"I don't see where the women who .
have nothing to do but keep house butt j
Into this vacation business, anyway," '
objected tho Bookkeeper; "pretty fierce, ,
I call it., for the wife who doesn I neea
it, to get a hike around to all tho glad
spots, when the poor husband, who needs
a rest, has to stay in town and hold
down his Job."
"Oh, Its a double-action blessing!"
exclaimed the Stenographer; "the wlfo
is traveling for her husband's health."
"How Is that?" Inquired tbo Book
keeper. "She's giving hubby a rest and a
change," responded the Stenographer.
"Any woman who has wrestled with the
servant -quetthm for a- year; who has
thought ut 1.0H6 regular meals, and a
few extra ones; who has had to cater
to a family that demanded Delmonlco
fare on a quick lunch expenditure, and
had to sew, and twist, and turn and
spraddle a dollar over a five-apot void,
has earned a holiday.
o has the husband, and It he can't
Set away from his business, the next
best thing is to got away from the clack
of his wlfes tongue, the noise of tho
children, tho everlasting monotony of
homo cooking, and the bondage of keep
ing rules. It rests you, you know, to slip
the collar."
"I should think too much Maria would
get on a fellow's nerves," suggested the
Bookkeeper.
"Sure thing." replied the Stenographer,
"when peop.e get to bor.ng eactt other
they take to throwing the hammer Just
for diversion and to liven things up. If
most couples were married only three
days a week, instead of seven, matrimony
would be a glad, sweet Oung, Instead of
a scrapping-match.
"You have to get away from even the
neome that you love every now and then , uuu
to get a focus on their virtues. Just like
you have to board for a while to get a
line on all the comforts of home. That's
what make the summer vacation a life
saving station for mamed folks."
"Maybe you're one," assented the
Bookkeeper.
"Oh. I'm Solomon all right." agreed the
tv
Lucky dog! to tag her about wherever she goes! Mary's lamb
was lucky that way. Lucky dog, to be fetching and carrying for
her by her side In service from rosy dawn to purple twilight.
That's you! Brushing against her skirts. Sometimes having her
soft fingers in your hair. Hearing her laughing voice in your ear.
Teased by her, loved by her, often knowing the bliss of her fragrant
hair bent low over your face, and the Joy of her wreathed arms
around your neck. '
Lucky dog! while I, who need her more, must pass along with
a calm face above my stormy heart "and be content' to "be Just
wounded by her eyes as by she goes! NELL Dili NK LEY.

before the birth of Christ, you will find
tho following most interesting reference
to the twin stars of the Bpartan brothers;
which shows that even in the days of
Uurlpldcs the constellation Gemini was
of unmeasured antiquity:
"Troy has been captured; Hecuba, the
widowed queen of King Priam, who was
killed, together with his son. Hector, by
the terrible Achilles, bewails her fate
(she was doomed to be carried off as a
slave by the wily and hated Ulysses), and
then, with burning indignation, turns to
to denounce the falsehood of Helen, who
has Just proclaimed that she was an
unwilling follower of her paramour, larls,
Hector's unworthy brother.
"Ha!" exclaims Hecuba, "my son car
ried thee off by force, thou sayest. What
Spartan saw this? What cry for help
dldnt thou ever raise? though Castor was
still alive, a vigorous youth, and his
brother also, not yet amid the stars!" .
Who does net feel the added charm
that attaches to those stars from the
knowledge that Euripides and his con
temporaries knew them by the same
names that they bear today, and that
through the greatest period of Greek his
tory, during the oenturles when Qreece
Illuminated human annals for all time
with Its galaxy of genius, every tlreek
child read the story of Castor and Pollux,
written with stars on the spangled sons
of the Milky Way.
At this snsson of the year the stars ot
tho "Oreat Twin Brethren" are low down
in the western evening sky, but overhead,
and all around the visible firmament,
there are other storied stars and con
stellations, any on of which . will, serve
to recall the ane-lonjr ; association uf
man's thoughts and fancies with the
celestial blaionry above. Mr, Darrttt'a

look for . at any time. ' Just now, . for

of Virgin Justice, still wearing its pure
white star gem which' bears Its ' own
name, Splca, and who, according- te an
cient Hesold, ruled the world with peace
ful sway In the mythical 'Golden Age,
and refused to quit It in the less brilliant
Silver Age that followed; but when the

Its spectacles of human ataaghter, then,
