RetOrted the mar in love: "You didn't use to be 10 abominably

And there they are with a perfectly good quarrel on their hands and
unkind words o N their lips and heartbreaks in their hearts, for "to be

And all for what?
All just because the a in love didn't realize that what the girl in
love wanted when she said he didn't love her as much IS he used to as
reassurances-fond, foolish, reiterated. convincing reassurances, And
because, instead of these, he ave her cold,l ogcas sensible reasoning.
Is there-I wonder-was there ever a couple who did not have at

: doubt it.
Can't you imagine Eve saying to Adam, when we lived in the gar

at meals. 1 don't think you love me the way you used to-
And of course Adam answered, But, my dear, you know l didn't

And poor little Eve, who just wanted to be told that he loved her

All of which might have been avoided if Adam had just taken Eve

Miss Madge Claiborne, a pretty Tex
as girl, has hit upon an odd and IN
usual way of earning a livelihood. She
paints street signs. ANY fair day she
may be seen gowned in a neat shirt
waist, tailored skirt and sailor hat on
the streets of New York city painting
signs for a large advertising firm that
advertises everything from straight
front corsets to plug cut tobacco.
Miss Claiborne comes from a noted
southern family A sreat-erandfathe~
Of hers, though a Yirginian by birth,
was a governor of Louisiana This
sign painting work vas taken up by
Miss Claiborne as a means to an ar
tstic end. Being convinced that she
could paint big billboards as well as a
man, she applied for the job and got it.
This plucky young woman has done
some very creditable miniature studies
and is ambitions Of making this
branch of art her life work.
Speaking Of sign painting, Miss
Claiborne says 1t is no more tiresome
than standing all day behind a counter
waiting on customers, and, besides, 1t
has the advantage Of being an out
door occupation and much more health
full than shut-in work.
When asked If her work subjected
her to annoying notoriety, she replied:
"Once In awhile some 'smarty' comes
along and says something that makes
me want to jump down and wiring his
neck, and maybe I'll do it some day,
but l try to curb myself and keep my
mind on my work. There is one ad-

Miss Kuehne Beverage, the talented
American sculptures who created a
sensation at Leipzig not long ago with
some passionate groups, has completed
at Munich the bust Of Prince Ludwig
Ferdinand Of Bavaria, for which the
prince has been sitting to her.
In addition she has finished a statue
Of Amfortas, the keeper Of the Holy
Grail, which Munich critics declare to
be her best work. The model for the
statue was Clarence Whitehill of the
Metropolitan Opera, New York, who
created the role Of Amfortas In Wag-
per's "Pars1fal' in America and has
also sung the part in Baireuth.
Writing Of the statue. a Munich
critic says:
1.-THE conception Is simple and yet
powerful; 1t is dramatic and yet ele-
giac-the hands alone would make this
work remarkable, They are the hands
Of a strong man and a gentle man;
they are wasted by suffering almost to
cancellation, but their beauty Of line
and character remains"

Everyone who is troubled with sore,
sweaty, or tender feet-swollen feet
smelly feet, corns callouses or bun
ions can quickly make their feet well
now. Here Is instant relief and q
lasting, permanent remedy-its called
TIZ. TIZ makes sore feet well and
swollen feet are quickly reduced to
their natural size. Thousands OF la
dies have been able to wear shoes a
full size smaller with perfect com
fort.
It's the only foot remedy ever made
which acts on the principal of draw

pores. TIZ c~leanses them out and
keeps them clean. 1t works right off.
You will feel better the very first
time it's used. Use It a week and you
can forget you ever had sore feet.
There is nothing on earth that can
compare with 1t. TIZ Is for sale at
