A. MITCHEL I had been paying attention to Julia Adams for some time. Indeed, ,I. would have proposed to her had I been reasonably sure of an acceptance. But Julia had another suitor, Frank Dig- by, and I fancied he was 'her first choice. G;;.. • To telt the truth, I was at a disad• vantage about that time, having, on being graduated from college, 'gone into business, for which I was by no means fitted. I had made a failure of it and was casting about for some- thing more to my taste. My poverty was the principal reason why 1 did not propose to Julia. The only talent I bad ever shown was for sketching, and in that as a boy I showed considerable ability. When it was plain that I would ac- complish nothing as a business Inan. I made some sketches, which I show- ed to publishers and secured orders for illustrations to go with their pub- lications. But I knew it would re- quire some time to get this new hold. and while doing so 1 kept my own counsel from my friends and acquain• tauces. Julia tried to find out some- thing about what I bad in view, but I gave ber no satisfaction. If I should fail in entering a• new field I would be in a worse position than before. 1 put her off by pretending to be in doubt as to wbat I would do—said l would not hurry in making up my mind, and all that. The result was what might have been expected. She accepted Frank Digby. Soon after I heard of her en. gagement I had a talk with ber bosom friend. Edith Martin, about her, who said: "Julia has been brought up with some one to do her thinking and make her decisions for her. Frank Digby hes a strong will, and sbe can rely on him for guidance. He will take the lead in everything. There is nothing weak. nothing vacillating :shout him. 1 think it will be a very good match;" "Quite likely," I replied, wincing nue der what was probably not intended, but what was a lecture to me, holding up my shortcomings in contrast with Digby's strong points. I made the best of my disappointment, but I confess to , having been mean enough to hope that he would rule Julia with a rod of iron e since that seemed to be what she wanted. Miss Martin, besides being a bosom friend of Julia's, was a gabbier. it wasn't difficult to set her talking, and, since she was a sort of confessor for„ Julia, I received a good deal of infor- mation simply by propounding leading questions. For instance, one day 1 said to her: "The more I think of it the more I believe that our mutual friend, Julia Adams, has a fine prospect before her with Frank Digby. Opposites should mate. If the woman is easy going the man should be decided, and vice versa. I wouldn't mind getting a strong mind, ed wife myself. I'd rather like to be sled by a woman." "Would you?" replied Edith, swal- wing the bait and the hook together: Vhy don't you marry a window" tashtu,, theater burning suffragette?" "Just chat I'd like, I'm glad Julia t the kind of man she wanted. 'ben are they going to be married?" "1 don't know. Not at present any - ay. I wouldn't 'have yon repeat it, it sometimes I think Frank is just a eny weeny, bit too decided for Julia. ou see, there are certain things we ris like to have decided far as and rtain things we like to decide for rselves." 'For instance?" 'Well, last week Julia bought a hat., hen Frank saw it be said, 'Why dn't you buy a muff for your head d have done with it?' 'You wouldn't sh me to be out of fashion, would u?' retorted Julia. 'xashioni' said ank sneeringly. 'Do you know what bion is? It's a lot of men who sell t women things, giving you new de- ns that are as different as possible m what you've been wearing so that can't wear or make over what I've got.' It wouldn't have matter if he'd stopped here, for we all known t, but be had to go on and say, II ve always boped that when I got'a e she'd have more independertee n to submit to such nonsense.' 'Blit fashion?' persisted Julia, 'We cae't' ore the fashion.' 'Fashion be haft - Frank answered. 'I wouldn't want wife to wear 'a hat like a greutt- r or put a pot or a kettle on her d.' At this Julia swept out of the m without deigning to notice him," Wail" I said. That was on Wednesday.

I dare say it would b been very noble in me to do so, that's not my kind of nobility. On contrary, I felt as if 1 would lik throw some bones of contention tween the two myself. But this out of the question. I was interested in the matter only because 1 wanted Julia for yeti, but on account of the fact t she had engaged herself to Digby cause she wished to be bossed. had intimated to me that 1 wasn' trong enough character to domin ver her, but 1 had my doubts ab he woman of the present day need n overseer.

MEPNER, Zurich " :Foos' omit;, Not long after that, having proved that I could make a good living as an illustratoe and believing that Julia's engagement with Digby was not likely to be uenewed, I called upon her. 1 Minh: she had had enough of being bossed and had demonstrated to her satisfaction that she didn't need an overseer. At any rate, she didn't men- tion such necessity, find when I told her that I had found success in a new field she seemed interested. I think Edith Martin had told her that I was looking for a wife to boss me, for Ju - iia gave evidence that she would like the job. So I proposed and was ac- cepted, We get on very well together.
