His Wife's Brother's Wife

Some men—most men, the cynics have It—may adore their wives properly and yet not be blind to the fact that in the world are other attractive women. Tunsley was an exception. Any of his acquaintances could have assured you that if the earth had suddenly been depopulated of Its feminine inhabitants, with the exception of Mrs. Tunsley, he would have gone right on blissfully unaware of the faot.

Tunsley came to Chicago on business. The second day he dutifully telephoned his wife's brother's wife, who informed him that her husband was away on business. 'Then you must come downtown and have dinner with me," said the sympathetic Tunsley. "And, say, we'll do the auto show afterward!" 'Oh, how nice I" said his wife's brother's wife. "I haven't been anywhere since Tom's been gone!"

Thus it came about that Tunsley found himself placidly dining that evening at one of the fashionable cafes with his relative while they dismissed family gossip.

Suddenly his wife's brother's wife spoke. "What a horrid man!" she murmured. "Why should he keep staring over here in that condescending way?" "Where?" Inquired Tunsley, looking. 'Oh," he said, "that's Samson—a business acquaintance of mine here!" He bowed cheerfully to Samson. "I wonder why he doesn't come over and be sociable."

Something about Samson's smile distracted Tunsley. Then he became .glowly aware that his wife's brother's wife across the table was really not so old as she might have been and that her apparel was decidedly becoming. Tunsley also found as he stared at her that she was good to look upon, though why Samson's smile should have made him discover this was to him a mystery. When Samson strolled over to the next table but one to speak to somebody and studiously kept his back turned on Tunsley and his companion Tunsely felt a sudden rush of embarrassment. It was quite plain that Samson thought he didn't want to be seen! "John," said his wife's brother's wife at this point, "was there ever apoplexy in your family? Your face Is so red that It's purple!" "Either apoplexy or smallpox—I forget which," mumbled Tunsley. "Let's hurry to the auto show." "Oh, what a stunning car!" said Tunsley's wife's brother's wife some time later, pausing before an exhibit. "Look John!" "Yes, yes," said Tunsley, uneasily as he edged away. "There's a much nicer one over here!"

His companion refused to mow\ standing entranced before the ma chine of her dreams. What Tunsley's awakened fears had dreaded soon happened. The exhibit in question was from his home city and the man In charge knew him and spied him. He descended on the unhappy victim with outstretched hand. "Hello, John, old man!" he cried, gayly. Then he glanced at his companion. "My sister, Mrs. Urgrum-m-m, Mr. Mummsmm," muttered Tunsley "I am very glad to meet you," said the man In charge, impressively. He was a good-looking man and there was a surprised twinkle in his left eye which Infuriated Tunsley. He continued to smile on Tunsley's wife's brother's wife. "I'm glad," he said, "that John told ine you arejils .sister! I didn't know he had a sister" in Chicago! It's lucky, because I'm a friend of Mrs. Tunsley's and I was going to run straight to her when I got home and tell her how shockingly John acts when he gets away from home! Ha! Ha! Good joke!" "Har! Har!" barked Tunsley, hollowly, his face crimson. Somehow he had the awful suspicion that the man In charge doubted his word. But his wife's brother's wife only laughed with tho man and offered no soothing word of explanation. She seemed to regard It as a joke and Tunsley felt cold prickles creeping up his spine. If only his wife's brother's wife had had the common sense to be ten years older or to have boles in her gloves or to talk about getting home to the children!

But she didn't She had the time of her life wandering among the exhibits Tunsley met exactly seven other persons who knew him at home and every one of the seven beamed at him with the same lurking twinkle when he introduced his wife's brother's wife.

"Thank you so much, John," said his wife's brother's wife when Anally she let him take her home. "I've had & perfectly beautiful time! When arc you coming again?" "When?" echoed Tunsley, mopping his still fevered brow. "I think I may be In Chicago again in about twentyfive years!"

HIS SOCIAL GUIDE

When Georgia came into the room she found Amy on the oouch In an attitude of complete dejection. "Good gracious! What's the matter?" asked the caller. "I thought you were receiving today. Why didn't the maid tell me you were ill?" "I'm not ill, Georgia, and I heartily wish I wasn't In," came Amy's despondent voice from the depths of the sofa pillows. "Well, If you don't wish to see me, of course—" "Oh, I'm always glad to see you." Amy raised herself on her elbow and then sank back onto the couch with an exaggerated air of weakness. "I'm only wilted, that's all. I'm so completely covered with chagrin that I can't rise. With that she rose and said dramatically: "If some kind fate had taken me out today I would not have been home to make a complete idiot of myself." "I suppose you know what you are talking about," remarked Georgia, "but you leave me in the dark." "Walt till you hear the story and then you will cease to wonder at my present abject condition.

"About ten days ago," related Amy, "I received a letter from my cousin, Billy Spencer, telling me that a friend of his, a Mr. Gllmore, was in Chicago studying law, and he asked me to be nice to him. 'He's going along on his own account,' Billy wrote, 'for his father hasn't any sympathy with his legal ambitions. But he's sure to make good, for he's a fine, bright fellow, and his only fault Is a little shyness. He needs bringing, out and you're the one to do it, Amy.' "Of course, that flattered me, and I determined to become young Gllmore's social guide, philosopher and friend. sent him a note telling him that I was at home Fridays, afternoon and evening. I asked him to call very soon, as I considered any close friend of Cousin Billy's a friend of mine." "Surely, that was very nice," commented Georgia. "Yes, I was trying to be nice to

Jim," sighed Amy. "Well, he cam* this afternoon. When we had spoken ot Cousin Billy and I had asked him how he liked Chicago there came a pause that I knew could only be filled with tea, so I told our maid, Helga, to bring some at once. '"Do you take cream and sugar?' 1 Inquired. 'No, I prefer It straight,' he said so Jauntily that for a happy moment I congratulated myself that I had succeeded in putting him at his ease. He took one swallow from the cup I gave him and then to his horror and mine it crashed to the floor. "While he choked and sputtered, I suddenly became conscious of a horrible burning sensation on my lips, to which I had just lifted my cup when the crash came. 'It's ginger" I cried. 'Yes,' he answered, with tears in his eyes. "At that moment Helga reappeared and announced calmly that she thought she bad brought in the wrong teapot. Then I knew I had given poor Mr. Gllmore some of my grandmother's hot ginger brew which she occasionally takes In small but concentrated doses for her cold. "I don't know which was the more embarrassed, be^jor I, while Helga picked up the fragments of the cup and Jfiopped the floor. 1^ tried to explaln laughingly how the ginger happened to be substituted for the tea, but evidently the humor of the situation did not strike him, for he said, very solemnly, Tm extremely sorry about the cup.' "I was gayly assuring him that on3 cup more or less didn't in the least matter, when to my astonishment and despair, Helga rose from the floor and said: 'Miss Amy, you make big mistake. Your mudder have told me the cups cost very much. She say I must be very careful. I now tell her I have not break this cup. Then she sailed from the room with a righteous air." "What did you do?" "I said with a weak effort at lightness, 'Isn't she droll?' and then I laughed. But there was no response to my merriment. My caller 6at still and solemn and I could think of nothing In the world to say.

"At last in desperation I asked him if he noticed the odor of gasoline in the room. 'It seems to me very strong in here,' I said. My mother will insist on cleaning the curtains with the stuff, but I detest it.' "He rose with a stiff new dignity

Mid

N

said: 'I'm afraid it's my necktie that offends you. I cleaned it with gasoline this morning. Goodby." "I was so overcome that I could only mumble, 'Ooodby' In my turn. Then he walked out of the room, leaving me In the Btate of collapse in which you found me a few minutes ago." "There's only one consolation about that tragic tale," said Oeorgia. "He's evidently the kind of serious minded young man who'll make his way without needing much help from anybody." "Maybe that's so," returned Amy "but I wanted to be nice to him, and I know he can never be induced to come here again. And what's more, I never want him to come back!"

An Optimist.

"What an optimist Green is!" "Yo" every time he loses his umbrella ne never worries. He always aspects to pick up a better on*."

This is only one feature of the Vulcanite roofing proposition. This roof coating absolutely does away with the necessity of painting. The materials and method of manufacture in the roof itself insure longevity. A Vulcanite roof, without repairs or painting will practically outlast the building on which it is placed.
