TOO MUCH AVAILABILITY Is
LIKE TOO MANY SUGAR PLUMS
Make Your Smiles Valuable by BeStowng Them With Discretion.
Fr0WnS Also Have Their Uses.
BY ADA LYNNE.

A INABILITY is a most charming characteristic in a woman, but too
- much amiabfhty is like a steady diet of sugar plums-rather sicken-
a N ing. ss
A smile should be like a SUI ray, lighting up ones face and disappearing
to make way for another expression. When 1t stays too long it degenerates
into a smirk And who would are to stay long in the company of a smrk?
A man and a woman had been married for two years, and in all that time
all out of sorts, prepared to be dsagreable at the slightest opportunity. Of
course he had not deliberately made up his mind to such a course. That Is
only what his incl consciousness determined.
At the end OF two years. he had become decidedly tired of "bread and
cheese and kkses'-nostly Kisses in his case
One night he came nome feeling pa rtcuarly grouchy. Everything had
gene wrong from the time he left the house in the morning. His wife met
him at the door with the anne smile she had worn the evening before, and
the evening before that and the evening before that and everyo other even
ing for two years
And when she put up her face for a kiss he growled. "cut it out" and
brushed past her into the hall. Rude, wasn't he, but he "a exasperated,
and when a mar is exasperated he considers that fact sufficient excuse for
any o. his deeds or msdeeds. FL
If that wife had been a little farseeing she would have developed a
beautiful case of righteous wrath o the spot If she had called him a
few names and stirred up things tic a greater or lessd degree, the atmosphere
voice, too, she followed him to the library, where he was filling a pipe pre-
parabry to smoking out his wrath.
Dear boy, is you angry with your wife," she asked, in the ia m sweet
submissive tones He answered: mo- I'm lot angry, but for goodness sake
please get angry once IN a while. Do something different. When 1 make a
remark don't always agree with me. Just contradict m N in a while.
And If you'd only forget o kiss me about M in two weeks it would make
things more interesting" He walked up and down the room, while she
dropped into a Morris chair to enjoy q good cry, a s. dAconsoate a bit of
femininty Is could be found anywhere.
Do lot think that husband a a brute? He a only a nan and few
are the men who "a stand sameness in to- large doses. After that outburst
he walked Up and down the ROOF Tor a while and pretty Don he was as calm
as a summer day
Lets forget it. I deserve hanging" he remarked, trying to find her
face among the tangled, tumbled locks.
leave ne alone" stormed she, you var variety, do you! Well you'll
get it" and she marched up to her bedroom and locked the door. leaving him
to eat his dinner IL alone. The next morning both were sorry, and both
were closer friends than ever. 1t seems that a certain amount O differ
ing day after day with a person who never expressed an opinion Of his own,
and who never, never contradicted!
Therefore, say l. be amiable most times, but not all the time, and let
your smiles be sunny and swift that people may learn to watch for and love
then. !
