one Of us would like to lead their
lazy lives And yet, they bang their
hair Indeed, as one lady said, with
more force than grammar, they bnng
it long before we did, in fact, set the
fashion. We commiserate the poor,
Gagged birds, of the harem, but there
is a reverse, after all, to the sombre
pictures Of their slavery. They are
Gagged, it is true, but they are fed
and sheltered daintily; they must go
yelled, but the veil enhances their
beauty ten-fold. They are not allow.
ed to mix with the world, but they
never have to work for a living and
can eat, drink, smoke and sleep to
their hearts content, and they are
never addressed by their husbands
in the manner of their more liberated
sisters. They never hear, Maria,
come quick and sew this blankety,
planked button on my shirt nor do
they have to go down in stocking
feet at all hours Of the night to open
the door for their spouse when he
comes home from a caucus and finds
that some miscreant has stolen the
keyhole, and they are never sarcasti-
cally informed that "those dump
lings would murder an ostrick,' for
their only duty is to make them
selves comfortable and look pretty.
We have been wasting much sympa-

The road to home happiness lies
over small stepping-stones. Slight
circumstances are the stumbling
blocks in families. The prick of a
pin, says q proverb, is enough to
make an empire insipid. The tend
erer the feelings the more painful
the wound. A cold, unkind word
withers the blossom of the dearest
love, as the most delicate rings of
the vine are troubled by the faintest
breeze. The misery Of a lifetime is
born Of q chance observation. If
the true history Of quarrels, public
and private, were honestly written
it would be silenced by an uproar of
dcrision.
