There's no hope for the man VIII
boasts of his mean acts
1t isn't so much where a man parts hi
hair as what he has under the part
Many women in England are choosin,
gardeninga means of livelihood.
A mere matter of form has secured
many girl a tllreatical engagement
Keep always within easy reach bottle
of lime water and olive oil in equal part,
to I've used for burns and scalds.
When you hear married woman speak
of marriage as being lottery it's dough-
nuts to fudge that she drew blank.
An atheletic San Francisco girl, &C.
costed by a street loafer, picked him up
and tossed him through shop window.
Girdle corsets haven't lost bit of their
popularity They're the most comfort,
able corsets of all for slender figure.
A Kansas man is lecturing on: "Why
[ Am Bachelor" When he appears on
the Platform the ladies in the audience
know why before he utters word.
Get outdoors and you won't need to
take sleep opiates. 1t is a paipable fact
that we can't be out in the fresh air and
sunshine very long before feeling an in
cination to drowsiness.
A man thinks he loves his wife and
children and because he works hard for
their support he needs no other evidence
that lie loves them. Perhaps he does,
but when lie constantly reminds them of
the expense they are to him and seems to
begrudge every dollar paid out to main
tain the home and support the family, he
spoils the happiness of that family circle
by selfish thoughtlessness.
When a woman marries she takes a
chance of landing big angel and being
joyfully happy or of picking out some one
who isn't and being ioyfully unhappy.
Better be pretty sure of the man before
you take him for keeps. It's long, long
journey before the two of you will part,
and your companion must be a good trav-
eler and a sympathetic, kind and loving
one, or the way will seem mighty rough
and tiresome.
Do not be afraid of night air, fresh
night air is better than stale bottled day
air.
If a woman was as careful in selecting
husband to match her disposition as she
is in selecting dress to match her COM
plexion there would be fewer unhappy
marriages in the world.
Girls, don't cheaper yourselves by al
lowing yourselves to be everybody's play
thing. 1t is all right for you to have a
''felIow" and 60 here and there with him,
but don't be every fellows girl, just be-
cause he asks you to be and then imagine
that you will not cheaper yourselves in
the eyes OF everybody, especially the
Young men. 1t is laudable ambition
for girl to have "felow'' and she is
entitled to the best if she is the right kind
of girl. But it makes no difference how
really good she is, she loses the respect OF
erybody when she gets SO boy struck
that she cannot walk down the street
without stopping to CAB with every lob
ster she happens to meet. When she
permits such familiarity and cultivates it
she loses her dignity and that is one OF
the rudiments OF being lady. The aver
age young man has no genuine respect
for the girl who is familiar with all the
boys of her acquaintance and she is the
last girl in the world he would think OF
marrying. 1t is really a disgusting sight
to see an otherwise sensible girl gadding
up and down the streets, gabbing with
every wart she meets, loafing around the
stores and shops and spongng treats from
all who have the price and the disposition
to "loosen" That girl is marked for the
bargain counter and when she marries it
is invariably the last or only chance.
Married life can be happy only when
husband and wife have the most implicit
confidence in each other and no man can
have confidence in the cheap, gadding,
gossiping, giddy girl, the one who
imagines the boys are all eager for her
company, when in reality, they only use
her for a plaything with which to pass
away the time. Don't cheaper your
selves girls, but pick out some really good
young man, some fellow with an ambl-
tions beyond cigarette smoking, booze
fighting or gambling and tie to him. If
he does not suit you, get some other fellow
until you get the right one-that is if you
must have fellow-but don't fool around
with half dozen of them at once and
think for minute that any OF them
really respects you. He does not. He is
just four flushing An honest girl is the
most beautiful object in all Creation even
ii she is as homely as hedge fence, but
cheap girl-oh, get the ak.
