Persuaded that her idol was no longer becomingly enshrined, she
proceeded to make trouble between husband and wife, and they
separated. Then followed a very lean time both for _Mrs. Brackett_
and her daughter, until at last the former made such an outrageous

this sort of subject offers no very favourable outlet for Mr. CAINE'S
particular gifts, but the confidential style in which he tells
the story is distinctly engaging, and as a warning to foolish
mothers-in-law it is something more than adequate.
