FROM JEST TO EARNEST.
COUNTESS AND HER HUSBAND Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, July 14. The Countess Russell has been granted a decree for the restitution of conjugal rights. When her husband wrote saying that he would not live with her again she declined to,take his letter seriously, and replied: " I regard your action as a form of self-denial. You left on Ash-Wednesday, at the beginning of Lent. I would really advise you to try a milder form of abstinence, like the boy who determined to give up soap during Lent."
