THE MEN OF THE HOUSE.
In their ordinary conversation. they address
each other in terms the opposite of affectionate.
Each one looks upon this style of conversation
Just as it was intended, namely, as form of ami
able, witty discourse. A listener might question
both the wit and he amiabiliy of their remarks,
but the brothers never do.
But If anybody else dares to address or to speak
of one of the brothers in this way, the other at
once flares up and prepares for fight. He may
speak to his brother as he pleases, but everybody
else must refer 10 him with proper respect. Broth
ers quite frequently seen around together, es-
pecially whenever any kind of lark is on, and
this would certainly never happen if they did
not experience real pleasure in each others
society.

EXCUSES FOR THE BOY.
In other words, she sets her son up high on
pedestal, and worships him more abjectly than
she ever did his father in the days when she
was first bride As for the father, it often
appears at first sight that he hasn't much affec-
tion for his family. In reality, he has whole
lot, but he has also so many business cares that
he doesn't have much time to get really acquaint-
ed with them. He really admires his tall young
son very much, but even if he had the time, he
would never think of telling him So
He can see his daughters good points well
as anybody else, and probably sees them in a
very exaggerated way, but he is far too sensible
to tell her that she is pretty.
There is sympathy in the home circle, as you
will find, if you will only take the trouble to
probe beneath the surface.

the business world it is very much out Of place,
for there everybody is on an equal footing. Your
employer probably has many people besides your
self to apportion vacations to, and consequently
everybody cannot go away in August.
It may be that you are the kind Of girl who
objects to n crowd, and IL this is the case you
will object most strenuously TO taking your va
cation in August. SO you see that the poor EN-
ployer has hard time of it,
Perhaps you think you ought to get full salary
when you are away on your vacation whereas your
employer thinks that half is sufficient. You
raise a fuss about this, of course, if you are
the ordinary sort of girl, and never consider for
a moment that what he is offering you is really
very generous, seeing that you aren't giving him
anything in return for it.
Then it may be that Susie Smith gets three
weeks, while you only get two. You don't take
into consideration that the house Susie is with
is probably not doing much business, and that,
therefore, they can afford to let her stay away
for three weeks, but Immediately proceed to
consider yourself illused, and to develop social
istic tendencies.
When the vacation is over you come back
more discontented than you were before you
went away. The city is hot, and it is mans
place to work, and not girls, anyway.
If you are in an office you fail to why they
load you so with work in hot weather. They
might have some consideration for you and
write a few of their letters themselves. You

always close In this case there is often more
demonstration than there is in the case of sis
ters or of brothers. We often hear of girls that
tell their mothers everything, thus deliberately
sacrificing the pleasures of lying awake far into
the night to talk to girl chum, for prosy con-
versaton with mother under the prosiest of cir
cumstances. There is a fascination about watch
ing the electric light on the wall and listening
to mysterious distant sounds-a fascination which
mothers front bedroom can never possibly have.
She often speaks of her mother in the most
affectionate way, and refers to her "the pret-
tiest woman she knows" l once heard girl
speaking of an older woman, say, She reminds
me of my mother, and that the incest thing |
can say about her" A girl will often make her
mother presents, which sometimes represent a
real sacrifice and she will certainly do more
for her mother than for anybody else.
THE MOTHERS AFFECTION.
Upon the mothers side there is probably less
demonstration in the way OF kisses and so forth,

lots Of money.
II you are a salesady you think IL is really
cruelty to animals that you have TO stand on
your feet all day and present smiling face to
every cross and tired shopper that happens to
come your way. They might at least provide
chairs for you to sit on. You don't consider
that the chairs, as well as various other 'im-
provements" that you would like to suggest,
would be impracticable.
Your employer really does the best for your
comfort that he possibly can, as well, also, as
the most. He. can't help it if the weather is
hot, and If you have to earn your own living.
You wouldn't earn it, probably, IL his business
did not go in summer well in winter,
so really you ought to rejoice instead Of com

Another thing which makes one think that
girls are afraid of work is the fact that so many
of them marry more for the sake Of obtaining
a home and somebody to work for them than for
any sentimental reason
In one way they cannot be blamed for their
lives are hard, and it is certainly more pleasant
to remain quietly in the shelter Of your own
home and let somebody go out and hustle for
you than it is to do it yourself.
But girls should bear in mind that marriage
under such circumstances never be happy.
It takes a good deal more than material COM
forts to make up the sum of conjugal bliss
In spite OF the fact, however, tnaJ tne evl-
dence seems to be against them, do not think
that girls are afraid Of work. II she has to
do it girl can earn her own living just as
efficiently as a man. But no one can be eff
cient in anything that is personally distasteful,
and so if girls are afraid of work how is one
to account for their success in many lines hitherto
open only to men?
I repeat, girls are not afraid Of work; but
if they do not want the reputation Of shying
at it they had better stop complaining and en-
deavor to go about their duties quietly as
man goes about his.

HIS is a question which readily comes
III to ones mind as one listens TO the
sSSz-ss complaints that girls make. No matter
NzsSAI how good their position may be, they
never seem to be satisfied.
Even if they have hours from nine until five,
they will complain about the length of time
thev have to work. They forget that the girls
in department stores are obliged to work from
8 o'clock. or even half-past 7, until 8, for ten
months of the year. An eight-hour day is
something to be devoutly thankful for, but they
do not seem to be able to see it that way
They are always objectng to the amount of
salary they receive. They know they are worth
a. whole lot more to their employer than he is
giving them.
As matter of fact, the employer is great
deal better able to Judge the value of an employe
than anyone else for the opinion of the hired
person about the matter cannot help being more
or less prejudiced.
He probably pays them just what they de.
serve, and when they deserve more they will get
it. The employer is business man, and he
knows when the services of one of his employees
are invaluable to him, and when they are not.
once knew stenographer who was making
S12 week. This, as everybody knows, is a
very good salary for that kind of work, but still
she was not satisfied. She thought she ought
to be making SIS or $40.
You often hear girls complaining because some
man who is doing exactly the same kind of work
that they are gets more money than they do
This is often the case, / will admit but then
it is a fixed fact and there is absolutely no use
in raising fuss about it. Every time you
get angry about it, you know, you lay the foun
datons for another wrinkle.

CALIFORNIA TO

WINE SHORTLY
Bv Asaocialed Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The
Journal of Commerce today says
a great fight for the control of
the cheap domestic wine business
Of the United States is on, with
the producers of California
solidly arrayed on one side and
the producers of the middle west
on the other.
The business amounts to a
very large total annually and
millions of dollars are represent
ed in invested capital.
The probabilities are that no
truce will be reached and that
one side or the other will be
benefited in any event through
threshing out of the wine situa-
ton.
The California wine men have
decided to materially lower the
prices after January /, in order
TO drive their eastern competi-
tors from the rich wine consum-
ing centers, such as New Or
leans and St. Louis, where the
easterners were able to secure a
strong foothold after the San
Francisco disaster of last April.
