SO HARp 70 PLEASE
And They 10th Agree That Men Are sin
ply Horrid.

And They Both Agree That Men Are Sim
Ply Horrid.
ss1Ien are 50 hard to please, - sighed the
young woman with the huge muf-
They are, indeed, - grOaned the girl
with the big bunch of vioIets. How do I
know Walter Penandink used to praise
my playing SO much that it set me to prac-
ticing harder than ever, yet that very
thing ended IN breaking of our friend
ship"
But ho07''
s.There was boarding house next door
to as. He came there to live while he
wrote his new book. Ny piano was on
one side Of that party wall. His desk was
on the other That is alll''
And still the industry of the bee Is
held up to admiration But all men are
just as bad There's not bit Of logic in
them. Now, Howard used to praise my
elegant toilets before we were married,
and yet when my dressnaker's bill comes
in he uses such language that I have to
remove my parrot from the room. -
"Humph. and they actually talk rs if
we were illogicall'
They do But what worries me most
IS the fact that Howard viii smoke in the
house.
But you probably told him before you
were married that you liked smoke -
what if 7 did? He might have known
that I only meant in rooms where the car
pets and curtains were not my own
8. But that is really nothing to the time
Lucy is having
Il didn't know that a woman who had
diamonds like hers would know what
trouble is. >
'sMy dear, her diamonds have given her
insomnia already"
IS don't see how
s.She can't sleep If she has them All in
the house for fear Of BURGLARS, and she
can't sleep if they are in the bank, lest the
cashier absconds with them
Poor thing Still she can enjoy them
all day
Very true. But about her troubles.
Maurice IS always complaining of and
poking fun at her big sleeves, so she took
advantage of the fact to have her new ball
dress made with no sleeves at all. 4"
Quite logical, I'm sure. "
Wasn't it? She was to help Mrs.
Swellstyle receive the other evening, and
she only kept her husband waiting three
quarters of an hour, so he would not have
time to get cross. Then she came down
ia her new gown.
We'll was he pleased?'
He was not. He sent her up stairs to
put on a gown with sleeves in it. They
got to the reception in time to see the last
Of the guests say good night"
Well, he is hard to please. You've
heard of Edith's accident, haven't yous''
Mercy, no. What was it2''
why, her husband pretends to know 50
much about dress that she depends on him
to tell her if her toilet is all right 1t fat
ters his vanity and saves her lots Of trou-
bio too
T. a very nice arrangement.
Yes. Now Edith has taken to wearing
one of the new chignons''
II wish I could, but hair is SO cruelty
expe sive
yes. Well, she had to dress in great
haste for a big dinner party the other day.
The husband said he would advise her to
place her flowers a little to the left; other
wise she was perfect. -
.'WelI, wasn't she2''
Not quite. During the game course
that horrid Mrs F1axcn leaned over and
whispered that she had forgotten to pin
on her chignon -"
Good graciousl'
s.And there Edith had to sit through
six courses with her own hair done up "A
a knot the size Of a biscuit at the back Of
her head and her lovely new chignon lying
on the dressing table at home y
And after her husband had sworn to
love and protect her!''
Yes, and she couldn't make him IN
derstand the enornity of his offense. He
seemed to think it was a joke and said it
was all her own fault anyhow"
How utterly unreasonable Well, If be
keeps going on IN that way, there viii just
be a divorce in that family some day,
that's all Chicago Tribune
