DO they like American girls in
Germany"
Miss Wentworth shrugged her
shoulders. Yes" she replied, whim-
siCally. I'm Southern Germany they
do, and IN Northern Germany they do
"a little. We have to fight our ac-
cents. In German opera houses they
won't have accents of any kind. In
America we put up with foreign ac-

very, very quiet. I like it, but NOM
mer doesn't. Mommer has to bride
the butcher to bring her a bit of ice
every day, for howl ask you to tell
me how-can Americans live without
ice?"
I am bound to say that hard work
doesn't seem to have depressed Miss
Wentworth. She was lively, viva
cious and interesting, but she did
seem to feel all she told me about the

The Superior

tect a woman from every man but
himself.
Nothing makes one Of the superior
sex more angry than to arrive at
home with something to growl about,
find company there and be compelled
to be pleasant.
There is nothing more nor less than
plain common jealousy at the bottom
of every mans objection to his wife's
religion.
After a man has eaten the good
dinner his wife has prepared he be-
gins to look at her critically because
she is wearing her kitchen clothes.
There never was man so honest
that he will say to his wife, Where
did l put my hat ?" He always says,

Laugh at a mans jokes, even II you
have heard them before. Laugh long
and merrily because you are not his
wife and have to hear them every
day.
It takes a man to grumble because
dinner is not ready and then become
interested in a newspaper and keep
dinner waiting till it is cold.
If men would tell their true
thoughts, women would run from
them.
II a man is blind and deaf and
dumb and sits in a corner, then his
wife should have faith in him.
The colonies who have never been
in the army, the majors who have
never enlisted, and the captains who
have smelled neither powder nor salt
