Outside Looking In,

Mr.. Brown had been spending an
evening unwisely and too well. He
arrived home so late and so confused
that he crawled on the nice soft earth
of a flower bed in the middle of the
front lawn and placidly went off to
sleep.
When he awoke in the morning he
looked up and saw his wife staring
wrathfully down on him from the up
per bedroom window. Still rather
confused, and feeling decidedly chilly,
Mr.. Brown called up to her:
Woman, shut that window at once.

Both husband and wife feel that
they have been domestic models when
they have provided for each others
material wants. They never consider
the spiritual desires. They take heed
Of the hungry body, not the starry
ing mind.
Hence the pervading dullness of
the family circle, and the boredom
that makes most married couples

the time of their lives. The doubles
are engaged in a fight over whether
they shall have wine or water, or a
sandwich or terrapin.
When a man takes a woman to
whom he is not married out to din
ner he serves his best conversation
up as sort of an appetizer to it.
and the woman attempts to pay for
her meal ticket by making herself as
charming as possible. But when a
man takes his wife out to dinner he
does it with the air of a martyr wait
ing for his crown Of glory. and the
woman shows her appreciation of his
expenditures in her behalf by telling
him how bad for his stomach are
all the things that he likes to eat
and by reminding him of what the
doctor said about the effects of cock
tails and rich sauces on his constitu-
ton.

TO always be served with funeral
