I'm thinking of soap. There was a
whole box of Slivery soap that the
boss couldn't get rid of to save his
life. He tried every method hitherto
tried by man, but somebody had put
the jinx on the box, I guess. and.
though they were exposed to the null
titude about forty different ways,
they wouldn't take.

SIZE HOLDS IT UP TO THE
AFFINITY

the man you love really loves you, he
will think Of you before he does of
himself. So you get none Of the dear,
small delights of loving. He is too
honorable to give them.
And. If he does ask you to take
what is in his power to give, you
have proof positive that he does not
love you with the completeness that
you crave. He couldn't, you know,
and ask you to make the sacrifice. So
that is unsatisfactory.
And, If his wife has done her best
to fulfill the obligation she undertook
In marrying him, he is a first-class
failure as a partner in the business
concern of marriage If he tries to
break up the association. If he does
it. you can read in his blighted sense
of honor the defects that will mani
fest themselves In his treatment of
you sooner or later.

god too long. Pack your trunk. Go

Of his eyes. that say what his lips win
not. Get out of touch of the hands
that long to clasp. Surprise that
blinded boy by playing the role Of
heroine! Love, love SO well that you
will not cheat your lover of one of his
ideals; you will not defraud him Of his
belief in an ideal woman. Still be
that to him.
This is not ROAST. It is BOAST
meant to counteract the age-old ten
dency Of the woman to take a back

extravagant proof that she loves. Ac-

You are the mans mind companion.

And everything works together to
