perform the work Of fight.
In all other birds the feathers

penguins the new feathers all start
into being at the same time and

TABLE D'Ho7E ECONOMY.

chicasoan Escapes Part Of the Tax
On Those Who Care Not for Wine.
The man from Chicago, conveying
a party of five women relatives about
New York, dropped into a restaurant
for dinner. They wanted the table
dbote dinner, which was advertised
at 81 with wine and SLIPS without
wine.
This variation in price didn't
please the man from Chicago. He
himself was on the water wagon and
he knew that none OF the women folk
wanted wine. Naturally he objected
to paying any $3.50 extra for mega
tive quantity.
Then plan came to him to save
1t least part Of that $3.50. He callon
for the wine card and ordered the
cheapest bottle of wine on ia clar-
ct at 81. The waiter brought the
wine, opened 1t and was told he
needn't serve 1t.
The Chicago man saved so cents on
the dinner and the waiter was In a

able in q Wife.

Despite the recent slight increas
in the French birth and marriag
| rates reported recently the crisis il
the marriage market continues to en-
gage the attention of some of thu
| foremost writers in the French press
Paul Marguerite, the .woman's cham
| pion has an interesting article IL
LIE journal.
He is a strong advocate of freel
womanhood in France. NJ. Mar
gueritte's article does not deal with
woman's legal status so much as wi b
her helplessness in the matter Of
matrimony.
He lays it down as a general axiom
that the French girl wishes to be
married, while the young man wishes
to remain single. The phenomenon
Of a woman preferring to remain a
spinster hardly exists in France. The
young man will not marry, or defers
marriage until comparatively late in
life because he fears the RESPONSE
bilities of a household.
Living has become increasingly
dear in Paris. The old simple ways
of the economical French arc chang.
ing in the large towns for greater
luxury and display. 1t is becoming
increasingly difficult for the man OF
e small fixed income to make both
ends meet.
The young man does not precisely
blame the girl for the difficulties OF
existence, but he does say:
She has grown much more extrava-
CANT. She detests Homework AMI
avoids the kitchen. Her ideas are
now centred upon dress and an auto
mobile. She wants.a big bank book"
Therefore the unadventurous young
man says: Il shall not marry unless
can find wife with money AS
Paul Marguerite dryly remarks:
This is a business arrangement, and
business is bad"
The author declares that men IN |
he industrial and clerk class in
france do not marry the laborious,
lard working women with whom they
ire in daily contact in the offices.
Their attitude toward the feminine
yorker is either of comradeship or
# hostility; it does not lead to mar
lage. Yet it is notorious that these
women are good and economical
managers in their own homes.
