For instance. perhaps it aggravates
my correspondent to have some nice
looking spinster or fascinating widow
making eyes at him and sending him
valentines and picture postal cards.
and knitting FOR him neckties at Christ
mas or for his birthday.
But just consider what a small thing
that Is compared with the exasperatton

patiently trying to lead up to the pro-
posing point. and who halks and can

Or perhaps he thinks that his moth
er and sisters are aggravating because
they have fussy little ways about
sweeping. and cleaning. and busting
and keeping things in order about the
house.
Men, Too, Are AggravatIng.
But, believe me. these little pecul-
lartties are not one. two. three com
pared with the "aggravatingness" OF q
man who strews cigar ashes all over
the rugs; who scatters his newspaper
from one end Of the house to the other:
who hangs up his clothes on the floor.
and who can't take a bath without
leaving the bathroom looking as if a
water spout had struck It.
The women who have their work dou-
bled and trebled by the inconsiderate
carelessness OF men are the only ones
qualified to give expert testimony
about the sort OF people who are ag-
grayating.
Doubtless. my correspondent has
meditated upon the the aggravation
and who made him miss half of the
first act OF play while she put on her
hat in 40 different ways.
But did he ever reflect on the ag-
gravating quality Of those men who
keep their wives waiting up until two
or three o'clock in the morning, while
the said man INDUCED in a game of
poker or have Just "one round more
OF drinks?" The worst that can be said
OF the woman who keeps man wait
ing. Is that she spoils his temper. while
the man who keeps a woman waiting
is breaking her heart.
It surely must be aggravating to a
man to have a wife who wastes his
money in foolish clothes that they can
not afford But there are not many
such wives.
On the contrary. there are millions
OF men who throw away in drink
money that is needed at home TO buy
food and clothes for their families.

witness all the wives who have their
bad cooking continually flung in Their
teeth. and whose mistakes are the
chief staple Of their husbands wit and
are always trotted out to entertain
company.
There are also some things in which
men are more asygravatfng than any
woman can POSSIBLY be. For example.
no woman has the M-m-m-m-m-m
haoit; and it's very. very common
among men. You can't imagine how
much you feel like throwing a coffee
pot at persons head until you try
TO make converse ton with him and
get no reply but grunts. A woman
Will at least. talk back and not sit
up through an entire evening as silent
and stupid and unresponsive as a store

It is also mighty seldom that a wo-
man is aggravating enough not to give
some sign that she even notices what a
mai does who is trying to please her
Yet there are millions OF men who dali

waiting to spend half day stewing
."ver a cooking stove, preparing just
the kind OF a dinner your husband
likes, and then have him gobble 1t
down without making a single re-
mark upon it.
And maybe you don't think it's ag-

pearance; to starve herself TO keep
her figure; to pull her hair cut by the
roots curling IL; and TO sew her fin

And isn't is the quintessence OF ag-

looks and how he likes her new dress.
for him TO respond without raising his
eyes from the papers. "Oh. it's all right.
Is that a new dress? Those thingum- ,
bobs always look alike to me-"
Never Tender Word.
And don't you think it's aggravating
to woman who is married to a man
she loves. and who. she has every
reason to believe, loves her, for him
never to give her word of tender

little attention fer which her heart Is
hungering and thirsting? He could
make her life such blooming para

Isn't it aggravating for man TO hold

Fluffy RufHes.

Handkerchiefs fashioned into ruff
fes for lingerie petticoats are not
exactly new. but a novel arrangement
of these flimsy accessories was seen
recently.
On the petticoat, which was of ivory
soft silk edged with a gathered dust
ruffle. there was another ruflle cut in
deep points on the lower edge. This
rufrle was perhaps rs inches deep and
knife pleated. The handkerchiefs.
lace trimmed. were placed on this
flounce diamond shape and were so
arranged that they formed alternate
points with the silk. The latter were
also edged with lace.

Smart neckwear is the most notice
able detail of the tailored woman's
get-up. The well-cut plain dark walk
ing suit offers a striking contrast for
the dainty white linen neckpiece.
The collar has come into favor again
for the strictly tailored costume, but
it Is not the high standing choker of
past days, which wrought such havoc
to throat lines that women turned in
sheer revolt and went TO the incon-
gruous extreme of wearing the collar

season the soft medium-high linen
stock is in favor for ordinary street

movement state that they hope 10 en-
list al! OF the 33,000,000 church MEM
bers in country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday or
1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches TO give TO the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
national association is going TO ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed. be held on
Sunday. April 80. or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
What we went" says Mr.. Living
