MUCH MISREPRESENTED PAIR.

IN JUSTICE TO THEM THE TRUTH MUST NOW BE FULLY SET FORTH. Sha was a young,, beautiful, and intelligent girl. He was a strong, handsome man. She lived v in a house filled with furniture, hot air, and servants. He lived in a bachelor apartment filled with a folding bed, a miniature sideboard, and a set of poker chips. She had been to a private and a finishing school ; also on the Continent ; had spent two seasons at summer resorts, had been to the opera, and taken a course of bridge. He had been to college, had spent a month in Paris and London, workeel in an office eight hours a day, and had read part of Bernard Shaw. She had some money in her own right and more coming. He had an interest in the business, a nd a father who had retired.

They met. He called. She asked him to call again. He did. He said that he loved her, and she replied that she loved him. They told about it to others. They were congratulated—and married. Seven hundred invitations ; four hundred presents ; one column of reading matter.'.

They bought a house. They lived in it. A baby came. And one more. He was a prosperous business man. She was a prosperous society woman. She had her picture painted. It was called '"a lady." He had his picture published. It was called "a prominent citizen."

The two people who appear in th; aforementioned history dssirc to say that these are the facts of their lives. Every novelist who has written about them has misrepresented these facts, distorted the truth. They are getting tired of it. They want to have everyone know that they are not the sort of people that (here fill in a list of popular novelists) have written about them. They never did anything extraordinary. They never expect to. An injusticehas been done them. We therefore take pleasure in letting the facts about them be known.—"Life.'
