irSt trouble IN years the men can
blame on the women, and the women
cant blame on the boy.
If woman is in any danger of get
ting killed the hole in her stocking
causes her lot more worry than the
blot on her conscience.
Speaking of the wheat controver-
sy," said Mrs. Lysander John Apple
ton, II never waste time wondering if
the cake is burned; | bake another"
When we meet 16-year-old girl on
the street, rushing along on important
business, we wish we had important
business in our life; it is always hum
drum.
If a Coolidge girl has an automobile
veil she getsh considerable JOY out of
life by wearing it and hoping that
some day the automobile will come
bowling along.
A woman writes: There is only
one way for a father to find out what
a brides outfit will cost: to buy all
his daughters wants, and then figure
it up"
1t is one indication a young man is
in love with a strict church-going girl
when he stops saying Damn" and
tries to ease himself by "Shucks" and
Law me-"
There is nothing in this power of
suggestion. If there were there
wouldn't be so many wives wearing
last years hats, nor would there be
so many Spins.
A man does love an appreciative
woman, and by that he means a wo-
man who will glow and smile for
week because her husband tells her
she makes good gravy.
A bride attracts a terrible lot of
attention considering that she is moth
ing more nor less than a bunch of
hopes dressed up and on the way to
be swallowed up in disappointment.
A girl is to be married shortly, and
her friends are saying: Goodbye to
her talent" We heard this so much
that we made inquiries, and discov.
cred that she sings in church choir
in little squeaky voice.
A stranger was trying to induce an
Atchison man to cash his check. The
Atchison man refused to do it. 81 do
not know you" the Atchison man
said. We'll replied the stranger,
ANY man ought to be able to pick out
an honest man" VERY WE'LL" re-
piled the Atchison man; Il decide
against you"
When there are a number of april
cot trees in the orchard, that signifies
that the woman is the boss. No man
who knows enough to dig a hole in
the ground, will plant an apricot tree.
All that an apricot tree ever does is
to arouse hopes in the spring, which
are blasted two weeks later. An april
cot tree is a woman's tree, since wo-
men can always hope and hope and
hope without single statistic to back
them.
IF necessary to make my own liv-
ing" said wife to her husband, II
could easily do it," The husband
wanted to know how she could do it,
She sailed up stairs and returned pres
emily with a number of clippings from
They read Wanted
Lady agents. Agreeable and easy
work; 5000 a month and up guaran-
teed, Address," etc, etc. The hus-
band shifted and the wife looked tri-
umphant.
Nothing will cause the shifts and
snorts to come faster to an old-fash-
Toned housekeeper than to hear of
woman who does her cooking dressed
up. The picture of woman in a
kitchen wearing a pretty dress and a
apron has caused many an
uOuSthttptI W SUlH utI-
self to death, 1t has happened many a
time that oldfashioned people have
died of shifts and snorts, and the doc
tors didn't know what allied them.
If a woman wishes to see how she
looks when out on a windy day, her
is called to the hen. With
every feather in place on all other oc-
casions and an example of neatness,
the hen on a windy day looks as if she
had dressed without stopping to pin
on her clothes. She is irritated and
mad, and with every feather blowing a
different way isn't a bit unlike a
woman out in the wind with her skirts
about and looking mad
