Why are SO many clever girls I'M
married? Is it because the mere man
has his own conceit and naturally
does not wish to be overridden by his
wife?. Perhaps he wants people to
consult his opinion and not appeal to
his wife for everything. 49,
Then, too, man does not fancy the
possession Of clever wife in his
home. OF that abode he must be the
chief head, and for a wife to be con-
tinually thrusting her cleverness down
his throat would be very unpleasing
to the average husband. 5
Men fight shy Of the clever girl as a
wife, and, after all, surely in many
cases it il her own fault. You can be

WHO'S NEXT7

We are pleased TO chronicle the
fact that on the eleventh inst our
baby union" the Cooks and Walters,
agreeably surprised the members of
the Trades Assembly by extending an
invitation to attend a smoker. We
were entertained for more than two
hours In the rendition OF an excellent
program consisting of speeches, songs,
instrumental music. boxing contests,
etc, after which we surrounded" the
festive board, where we certainly did
do justice TO the good things prepared
for us. And following closely this en-
joyable event. on the fourteenth, inst.
the bartenders held a similar 'se-
anco." TO which we were invited. and
it Is very difficult 10 decide which OF
the two were the better hosts, SO we
had to call IL a draw To both of
these entertainments the boys" In.
vlted their employers, many of whom
attended and seemed TO enjoy them
selves hugely.
Now, who's next Such little incX
pensive times IS these arc the right
thing. They not only bring the boys"
into closer touch with each other,
which is conducive TO fraternity and
good fellowship, but 1t gives our en-
ployers TO understand that VIC have
regard for them, and that We want to
be men among them. Let the good
work go on. We have too little time
for relaxation at the best.
