"I suppose, Arthur," said Maud,
frigidly, "that if you were building
you would consult my tasie to some
extent at least?"
"Yes, of course, dear. But I'm sure
you'd like those stairs after you got
used to them. You see. there's no
room wasted. That's what 1 like
about IJncle Jim's house—every inch
of space counts."
"I never should liks those stairs I
dislike anything that looks the least
cramped or contracted in a house. 1
shall want broad stairs, with a spa
clous landing and polished mahoganj
rail coming down into a wide and ,
lofty hall "
"And I suppose yon'll want me to
put on a swallow-tall coat every night
for a seven o'clock dinner. Well, my
dear girl, I'll tell you now that there'll
be nothing doing In full dress for
yours truly, and that I never want my
dinner a minute later than • 30. Just
time enough to wash up a bit when
1 get home from the office before I
sit down to a squars meal 1b all I
want. No frills for little Arthur,
thank you."
"I should think you'd like to dress
like a gentleman and dine at a cor
rect hour," said Maud in a hurt tone
"Well, who's to say that a man
can't be a gentleman in a business
suit? And as to dining at the correct
hour, I think the correct hour is when
one is hungry and dinner is ready. I
tell you, Maud, people get Just as un-
balanced over good form as they do
over any other craze."
"Do you mean to Imply. Arthur, that
I am unbalanced?"
"Why, no, of course not. Let's see,
we were talking about Uncle Jim's
house You certainly must admit that
the dining room and kitchen are large
enough. There's nothing cramped
about those rooms."
"The kitchen is entirely too big.
Some of it should have been partition
ed off into a butler's pantry Fancy
having as elegant a house as that
with no butler's pantry!"
Well, there's no butler, either. I
suppose Uncle Jim could not see why
he should provide an apartment for
an unknown quantity. I think having
the kitchen atid dining room adjoin is
a very good arrangement You're sure
to g«-t your food hot then. If there's
anything I hate it is lukewarm meals."
"Men never think of anything but
what they have to eat."
"1 suppose if we were only an ethe-
real as women we could all live on
chocolates and afternoon tea and it
wouldn't be necessary to build kitch-
ens and dining rooms."
"How silly you are, Arthur! Rea'ly,
you are the most unreasonable person
to argue with I ever knew."
"Then why argue with me?"
"You began the argument yourself
hy Insisting upon having stairs like
Uncle Jim's in our house, and 1 don't
think if a bit nice of you to plan some
thing that you know I don't like."
Know les glanced quizzically at his j
wife's girlish profile, for she had turn-
ed her face away from him Then he
slipped his arm through hers and |
said: "There, now. Maud, don't you i
enre I'll throw those plans of mine !
away and you can make all the next

dear" Maud laughed a little tremu-
