Improved bY Marriare

Did you ever notice how it improves
a man to be married?" This query
was propounded by a young southern
woman here, says the Philadelphia
Record. you can always depend upon
It that 1t is a married man who shows
you all the small oourtesies in an ele-
Vator; 1t is married man who stands
up for you in the street car and it
is the married man who does all the
chores at picnic. The most thought
less, irresponsible kind of a single man
often becomes a veritable model Of
amiability after he gets him a wife. I
suppose his wife has so drummed
good manners into MIN that he has
to keep practicing all the time to keep
in trim. believe business men have
more respect for a married man, too.
They succeed better in everything they
do. Why, only the other day there
was a baseball game between the
married men and the single men. Who
won? The married men, of course.
And you can't tell me their wives did
not have something to do with it."
