the office Is over? Go home? No! They
go out on the street and meet their friends
and lounge about till dinner time. Or they
go to the club and lounge there till dinner
time. And after dinner they are only too
apt to produce some lame eXcuse-of a bus
mess nature generally-for going down
town again. Why can't they have their
friends about them at home? If their
pleasures are innocent and their friends
are worth having, this is the place where
they will be sure to gather the greatest
Joyment. Every bachelor who is within the
pale of responsibility wants a place where
he can go and have some of the environ
mentS of home. If he has a married
friend and the married friends home is
pleasant one and he is treated there
though they really glad to see him, he
will be very apt to fall into the way of
dropping in night after night. He will take
genuine interest in the children, and he
may, if he is a generous man, make them
presents. He will console himself for not
having a home of his own by rejecting up
on the happiness of his friends home. That
is to say, if il is pleasant home. If ii is
rot, and the married man, nevertheless, re-
mains domestic, there is a cessation in the
friendship of the two men. On occasion
they see one another, and should either get
into difficulty the other would probably
come to the rescue, but the pleasure of
companionship which they knew before
marriage separated them is over.
Where the Home is strict.
Perhaps the home is too strict, and the
wife will not permit smoking and has ut
terly forbidden any beer to be drunk. She
is right in one way. Smoking is a vice, and
so is drinking. To do either is to admit
that you have vices. 4 perfect man
shouldn't have any. But the husband and
the husbands friend have become accus-
toned to these vices, and have no inten-
ton of aban Joining them. The consequence
is that instead of meeting at home, they
will meet at the club and the smoking and
beer drinking will go on just the same. and
perhaps a little worse and the only differ
ence will be that they will not care so
much for a home that is made unpleasant
to them. OF course, she neither smokes
nor drinks herself, but because she has not
these weaknesses she makes the greatest
mistake in The world in not allowing for
them in moderation on the part of her hus-
band. The tact that men are not domestic
often has it's origin in the fact that there
a man cannot meet his friend.
Who are The best friends In the world?
Why, women, of course-not women with
women but women with men. Think
while, you old bachelor. You have nun
dreds of men friends. but what do they
care about you? If they do you favors IL

The Indians are going out upon the chase
without gurs or an munition, relying on
their prOwess as spearsmen for their sue

will carry the regulation sealing flag, some
thing new in the line of bunting at the
masthead. The flag is a square yellow and

the stars and stripes. 1t is to be not less

about ten inches or foot shorter than the
