Daysey Wayne
AndHer Folks
By FRANCES L. GARsIDE.

Until daughter has reached the
ripe age of ten her home juse
suits her.
In her childish mind it is the place
where mother is and all wrongs are
arbitrated. There is a kitchen where
cookies and pies are made q dining
room with a table where she sees fa1
Their twice day. and bedroom
where she sleeps nights and where.
she keeps all her dolls and things. q
1t is after she has passed ten that
she begins to realize there is also
a parlor; it's Importance grows withh
her years. and before she has reached
sixteen it has become the most impor-
ant part of the house, and her special
territory.
It is then there begins dispute.
between mother and daughter that
threatens to last till death, but which
is ended by the mother yielding. As
result of her concession the old
fashioned center table, the what-not'
and other pieces Of furniture she had.
as a bride are moved to her bed room
Mothers things" are never of any
value till after mother is dead and
a step-mother takes possession.
| Daysey Maymc Appleton had won
/ out with her mother and all nerI
| mothers things had been removed.
| but she found she had a greater OBJ
stacle in her fight to make her parioss
artistic. That obstacle was the gem
/ crosby of her friends.
Daysey Mayme stood in the center
1 Of the room and wept bitterly.
/ 81 must let that picture of Ma
| poleon with a red coat and purpfal

Those garish- colored cushion cow

! How grateful / should be that ] have

/ so generous, so kind! Alas, the plight

Then she rearranged the purple
and blue tidy on the red lounge, put
the yellow shaded lamp in the center
of a bright pink mat, busted OFF the
| Tokens Of Love on the wall and gave
sigh that shook seventeen buttons
Off her dress.

Before and After.

II people acted before marriage as
they do afterward. there would be no
more wedding bells. No man would
propose to a girl If she came down
10 see him with her hair done up r.
curl papers and her shirtwaist gap
ing in the back.
No woman would accept the man
who proposed to her If he had three
DAYS stubble OF beard on his face.
No man would ask "A woman to mar
nv him IL she entertained him by tell
ing him what a poor. weak miserd-
BILE creature she thought he was.
No woman would ever consider
saving Yes" to the man who was
always deriding her sex and telling
her that he considered that women
had the weak. hysterical intellects
Of hens.
Neither husband nor wife seems to
feel that there is the slightest neceS-
sity Of trying to be attractive to the
other. or OF keeping up any Of the IL
lusions, or preserving the romance OF
their counting days.
II people were married for two
wears or ten years. and at the end
Of that time the contract was to END,
one could understand the recklessness
with which so many husbands ana
wives deal with each others atec-
tions You can stand anything for
a little while if you know it has
time limit to il.
It's a Long Journey.
But there is, no end to the average
marriage except death. Men and
women expect to stay together as long
as they live. and yet with the pros
pect Of thirty or forty years before
them they do nothing 10 make the
journey interesting instead of dull,
and wearying and boresome.
OF course. Il is true that the life
Of the ordinary person. full Of work
and striving, and economy does not
furnish much base for thrills. This
is true. but the barer It is the more
reason for trying to keep up the IL
lUsions 1t becomes then a matter
OF self-preservation.
As long as people are in love they
pever complain that life is dull They
hever bore each other. After they
IRE married il is the same old life
and they have the same material for
making il Accordingly interesting If
hey could II is they who cut out
Ehe snap and ginger themselves. They
3ave stopped crying out Hoop -
Ds they do the great matrimonial turn
IN the show Of life. and the whole bus
ness falls fiat and stale.
It's their own fault. MatrimOny is
only bore because we make il so.

License 30 Eat Onions.

The average woman regards matrl-
mony as license to wear mother-hub-
bard wrappers, eat onions. and tell
her husband home truths about him
self that he doesn't want to hear.
The average husband considers that
the wedding ring entities him 10 treat
his wife with less consideration than
he does the scrubwoman of his office.
The avera ge home is a place where
everybody comes to dump down MI
the i'll temper and bad manners and
grouchiness that they would not
dream of exhibiting In public.
Social intercourse in the average
family is conducted along aboriginal
lines of grunts. and grumbles, and
knocks Nobody takes the trouble 70
make himself understood, or spares
anotheTs feelings.
Is II any wonder that all who can
fee from such an abode of dullness2
Is il surprising that the man Of the
family should develop sick friends,
and business engagements that call
him downtown of an evening, or that
the bltterest complaint Of the domes-
tic woman is that she has no latch
key. and that the children beat il from
home as soon as they are able to
walk?
representation is the first law or
nature, and there are few more I'M
pleasant ways to perish than to die
of boredom.

Is Matrimony a

W THY is matrimony a bore? Be
wv cause it is a show without
any razzle- dazzle, a circus

1t is beer without foam, champagne
without f1zz, soup without salt-any-
thing you please that is fiat and taste

It consists of a woman whe no

different man who does not care
whether he pleases or not, tied to-
gether by a bond that chafes wher-
ever IL touches. and yet which they
lack a good excuse of breaking.
The most idealiZed and poetizad.
and the scarcest thing on earth, is
real happy home.
There is nothing else about viii I'll
so many beautiful sentiments cluster
as about family life, and there Is
nothing that comes so near to bring
ing us into the grave.
The plain truth is that the average
home life of the average family is the
abomination of desolation, the quia-
tessence of all that Is dull and sordid
and commonplace. 1t is why so many
hotels have been built a life saving
stations, and why we fall in love win

Teeth and Health

TT has been said that teeth are
troublesome 10 get, troublesome to
keep and troublesome TO get rid Of.
Sad TO say there is some truth in this,
the more so since # is largely, if not
entirely. due to our perverted mode of
living
Teething is a physiological process and
should, in a normal child, be as harm
less as the growing of hair. Yet it is a
well-lnown fact that this IS the period
of greatest mortality among children.
To elucidate the cause for this I would
have to so back many generations and
trace mans errors. both physical and
moral. both of commission and omis-
sion. and draw a picture not good to
look upon And Yet, we want the truth.
so why should we be afraid TO open our
eyes and see what is so clearly written
in disease and suffering?
We want to improve the race, prolong
life and make it as happy and useful as
possible. This century has been one
of vast progress. both in the sciences
and art-progress tending TO make the
path OF life easier and living a JOY.
