"An apologst has arisen to make ex- euse for our various bad tempers and msanthropic moments" observed Peggy the other day as we sat huddled up over a. big log fire.

 wouldn't it be great help if we could rent a safe deposit vault for our tempers and affections" I suggested.
 f'That depends" said Peggy seriously, .'altogS ther upon the sincerity of those vague antecedents to our There's too much personality in your remark. Now who are you talking about, anyway

 souib relates how mere boy of N has three living wives. I was just wonder ing if our apologist would blame these conditions on the overloaded rooms the American man lives in.''

"Now, last week if had only had sense enough when my cook said she refused to work in family where mo- body was ever on time for dinner to have found a valve whereby little fresh air might have been let in the kitchen, in stead of telling her to 'begone, she might have been transformed into a veri- table apostle of sweetness and light"
