"No," was the reply. "I should say he was an Anti by birth; but I think
he may be a Suffragette by marriage, though I doubt if he or his wife
had found it out until to-night."
In a long and brilliantly lighted drawing-room, desolate with its rows
of empty chairs, the popular hostess who was also a Suffragette stood
alone with the man whose smile had puzzled every one who saw it,
half-an-hour ago, except the woman who had broken windows.
"It's simply magnificent of you," said his wife.
He took a walk round and moved some of the expensive hothouse plants. "I
hate these things," he said. "Why do we have them? Let's open some more
windows and get rid of the smell."
She laughed, and watched him go across to manipulate blinds and bolts.
"You are always the same man I married, even when you are quite
different, as you were this evening," she remarked, with equal
inconsequence.
"You're not the same woman as the one I married!" he shot back at her.
"But I am!" she cried. "I am, I am! And that's the whole point!"
He looked round at her, the smile back in his face. "Perhaps it is," he
said. "Perhaps it is. Pity we've both missed it for eleven years, isn't
it?"

SOCIALISM AND SUCCESS
Some Uninvited Messages
BY
W. J. GHENT
_$1.00 net. Postage 15 cents_
"Socialism and Success" bears a pertinent message "To the Seekers of
Success," "To the Reformers," "To the Retainers," "To Some Socialists,"
"To Mr. John Smith, Workingman," and "To the Sceptics and Doubters."
Every reader will find food for thought in its keen analysis of motives,
its fearless criticism, and its pointed suggestion. Although a
socialist, Mr. Ghent is not blind to the faults and weaknesses of the
socialist movement, and he states them frankly.
This is a book that will cause controversy, a book that hits hard at
human foibles, a book that will win high praise and severe censure. No
socialist or non-socialist can afford to miss the live argument and
pithy suggestion contained in its pages.
