life shall be full of thrills. TO me

pair of work horses, hitched TO the
family wagon, and keeping In the

has let herself get commonplace. she
ought to keep his interest alive by

hand. and when asked him last nlghl
if he loved me he never looked up q

Yes, dear diary, I see that the very
thing has occurred that the Woman
Fage says always happens in matrl-
mony. His love for me has waned'
and it's up TO me to feiight the flres
of affection. Thank goodness l know
exactly how to do it. OF course, we
don't admit it, but every woman of us
has her little repertoire of stunts that
she goes through when she wants to
attract a man. and I'll try over again
the arts with which | caught my nus
band.
April IL have very nice eyes. if 1
do say it myself Jack says that they
are what made him first fall in love
with me. And l know how to use
them There have been people mallc-
iCus enough and mean enough to say

of wicked. tantaliZing glance from the
corner of my eyes that he has told me

any man for kissing me on the spot
il was so tantalizing
Well. my dear diary, | tried both OF
those looks, and all the other eye play

notice, but finally he walked up enough
to say:
whats the matter wit hyour eyes
tonight? Look like they were about TO
roll out of your head. Never saw any
thing act so queer Look as il you had
St Vitus' dance, or epilepsy, or some
thing of that kind You'd better go
and see an oculist tomorrow. / ex-
pect you need glasses.
April By faith i'm the advice about
flirting with your husband to keep his
interest in You alive isn't shaken a bit

that piece of counsel had told how to
do it, You can't fiirt with man who
