Seashore hotel booklets that Mrs.

while he regarded Mrs. Jobson fur
lively to observe whether she was TAX

he confded to a visitor who had stop

"They began coming every day or so

mending were brought out and shown
to customers in their broken condition,
and many of these were snapped up at
once. Sometimes the purchasers pre-

Youth and Temperament OF Woman

WYE live in an age when women are
M to the fore in everything after a
long period OF suppression. AS
a natural reaction from such suppress
sion they have become the gay, giddy,
brilliant things we see who refuse to
grow older than mild IS until they
suddenly drop upon-four score; who
are so frisky, so smart, so up to date
that they keep the world spinning to
. hundred varying fads and fancies and
who insist that enjoying life is the best
means OF living IT.
1t is this class who are responsible
for my phrase, the youth of tempera-
ment" For temperament has a great
deal to do with the way we live and
the absurdities we commit Some peo-
pie are born young and some are born
old. The one class never seem to
achieve anything save a gay irresponsi-
bility in all matters concerning exis-
tence. The other are staid and gloomy
and despondent from childhood onward.
What one lacks the other emphasizes,

rador or go to the North Cape or Spitz-
bergen, and only mullet-heads with
more money than brains ever get to
such off-themap places. Washington
has got the reputation of being an ex-
traordinarily hot summer town simply
through a bunch of garrulous people
talking about it that way. But all of
the hotel-porch talk in the world
doesn't make it a fact It's a little
warm and stuffy in Washington dur
ing certain parts of the summer, of
course, like 1T is everywhere else In
these latitudes, but Washington's go

There will be no butts or ifs in

Mrs. Jobson didn't even let out a

time.

Jobson, who had all OF her clothes

"That'll be about all OF that, IL you
please, madam" broke in Mr. Jobson,
with great rudenesS. IF you think
you're going to keep me hanging
around this blistering town till
my shoes sink ankle-deep into the
asphalt. just because you're too lazy to
make a little seashore trip and too
stingy to see me spend the money,

But Mrs. Jobson didn't have much

ing for the seashore about a month be-
fore.

maturely and men were seen walking

Mr.. Jobson cracked his newspaper

agreeable than the blunt and whole

Mr.. Jobson glared at her.
Thus 1t was that Mr.. Jobson got HIM

During that exceedingly warm spell
in the latter part of May Mr.. Jobson
began to gaze with considerable visit

or three occasions he seemed to hold
the summer resort advertising pages
before him in a deliberate way that
Mrs. Jobson easily saw was meant for

One evening during that torrid spell
Mr.. Jobson came home, looking pretty
