They had been married two years,
'long enough," Prue suddenly declared,
"to dispense with all honeymoon rho-
monstrativeness."
Tom Dawson put down his evening
paper and stared at ,the pretty little
partner of his Joys and sorrows. "I'm
afraid I don't understand, dear," -he
said
"Why, St's very simple. If you know
that I care for you—and I am certain
that you care for me—all signs of af-
fection are quite superfluous; they may
be dropped."
"Ohl" Tom said dubiously. "Web,
what shall I drop first?" There was a
• twinkle in his eyes, and Prue saw 1t.
"To be serious," she pleaded, "tq be-
gtn.wlth, you must not kiss me when
you come home to dinner and—and—
other times. You must drop"—
"Drop you a courtesy instead," he tu-
terruptet-her laughingly.
"Don't be ridiculous, Tom! You know
very well that there are many useless
customs that should be abandoned,
many things that should be dropped."
"Yes," be said, smiling whimsically;
"Hannah thinks so, I know. She drop-

must take lessons of that girl, Prue, or
drop her. On the whole, I think we'd
better drop her." -
"It will not be necessary," she said,

this morning. I shall have to find
some one else within a week."
