Spring suits for men show no radical

The spring overcoats are not so long as

She was very nice woman. And when l
read the dainty little letter felt myself
growing taller, and it seemed as if my head
was growing just bit bigger. Still, it was
rather a pleasant feeling. But what she
asked was a question easily answered,
Are there any bad husbands?" I began
to think of the different ones. And first
of all there came before me the sullen
man. He's the one who comes home at
night with a growI and wakens in the
morning with a complaint. Neither of
these is loudly spoken, but he mutters
them with his teeth half closed, and his
wife wishes she knew how to make dear

Z arley is the sort of man who will net
be happy either in heaven or the other
place. At the breakfast-table the chill
dren have been taught not to speak for
fear they will irritate their father, and
at the dinner-table they don't appear at
all, not even when the other sweets come
on, for it is possible he is little bit
more sullen and little bit more hang-dog
looking than he was at breakfast. He's
been forced to associate with men all day,
and OF course there is always the chance
of man kicking him if he tries any of bis
nasty business with him, but with the
little woman at home, whom he has prom
ised to love and protect he feels at ease,
and finds no fault with himself when he
bullies, in his horri1, sullen way, the crea-
ture that is bigger and better in every way
than himself. She can never get an opin-

Next cam to my mind the fault-fnding
man; the man who is never suited the
man who, If you offer him mutton on
Tuesday night, wonders why it wasn't
served on Friday, and, if you happen to
rave it on Friday is surprised that you
didn't remem Der the cook and serve fish.
He isn't satisfied with your gown, and he
sends you off into a shower of tears by
reminding you of what he thought you
would be " hen he made love to you. He
forgets how he has changed-he forgets
that there is no possibility of suiting him.
If you are lively he makes the cheerful re-
stop talking. If you are quiet he wonders
what you are sulking about, and
if you try the happy medium of
mixing chatter and stiffness he asks
where you got your wisdom from when
you talk, and he inquiries what
you are complaining about to yourself
when you keep quiet. He finds fault with
the cook, and you discharge her; then he
is surprised that you were such fool,
as to get rid OF woman who knew the
difference between grouse and pork, and
who could boil water well. He interferes
