And They Both Agree That Men Are Sim
ply Horrid.
"Men are SO hard to please, F." sighed the
young woman with the huge muff.
They are, indeed" groaned the girl
with the big bunch of violets. How do l
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 off our friend
ship
but how?"
'Hiere was boarding house next door
to us. He came there to live while he
wrote his new book. My piano was on
one side Of that party wall. His desk was
on the other. That is alp
"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 dressmaker's bill comes
in he uses such language that have to
remove my parrot from the room"
"Humph, and they actually talk as II
we were illogical''
''They do. But what worries me most
is the fact that Howard will smoke in the
house..
"But you probably told him before you
were married that you liked smoke"
What IL did? He might have known
that only meant in rooms where the car
pets and curtains were not my own
$50 no might"
"But that is really nothing to the time
Lucy is having"
II didn't know that woman who had
diamonds like hers would know what
trouble isl
my dear, her diamonds have given her
insomnia already"
II don't see how"
She can't sleep il 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 thingi 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. -
'Quite logical, Pm 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
in her new gown"
''Well, was he pleased9"
He was not. He sent her up stairs to
put on a gown with sleeves in 1t. They
got to the reception in time to see the last
of the guests saw good night "
''Woll, no is hard to please. You've
heard of Edith's accident, haven't you?"
Mercy, no! What was it?''
"Why, her husband prctends to know 80
much about dress that she depends on him
tiers his vanity and saves her lots Of tron
BILE too"
IA very nice arrangement.
''Yes. Now Edith has taken to wearing
one of the now chignons
II wish could, but hair is so cruelty
expensive"
Yes Well, she had to dress in great
haste for big dinner party the other day
The husband said he would advise her to
place her flowers little to the loft other
wise she was perfect"
well, wasn't she?"
"Not quite. During the game course
that horrid Mrs Flaxen leaned over and
whispered that she had forgotten to pin
on her chignon."
Good gracious'
And there Edith had to sit through
six courses with her own hair done up in
knot the size of biscuit at the back of
her head and her lovely new chignon lying
On tho dressing table at home"
"And after her husband had sworn to
love and protect herH'
Eyes, and she couldn't mako him un-
derstand the enormity of his offense. He
seemed to tt ink it was joke and said it
was all her wn fault anyhow"
How utterly unreasonable! Well, If he
keeps going OIL in that way, there will just
be u divorce in that family some day
that's all "-Chicago Tribune.
