Just About Men
BY FRANCES L. GARsIpE.

There is one test Of fsithfulness that
not many men can pass. And that 1t is
putting their wives in all the air cas-
ties they build.
The average man tells so many women
that he has a corner set aside in his
heart just for her that that organ must
resemble a hornets nest.
What is a man TO do? He is mean
II he shows his temper at home and
people find out how mean he Is II he
shows It away from home
The only unqualified praise q man gets
is that at least his clothes don't take
up much room In the closet
Every man would rather talk about
his sins Of omission than his sins OF
commission
Say to any man, How you have suf-
fsred." and he Will have great trouble
in trying not TO look pleased at the recog-
milton Of what he has undergone.
Every time a man shakes the pepper

shakes II. and frowHs at his wife be-

row Of upright bony or horny plates. the
largest Of which were four feet broad,

pointed horns ranged in pairs.

horns may have been able to penetrate
the thickest srmor carried by the fight

these monsters in battle would probably
