this family. A wife objects to a
husband attending lodge meet
ings. Why tell her about it?
What she doesn't know won't
hurt her"
Assuredly not. And it's per-
fectly wonderful how many as
tute married people, with a
proper respect for their own
peace and comfort, have antici-
pated Judge Phillips decision,
and instead of telling their re-
spective husbands and wives the
truth that would raise a row
have told the little lie that in
sured the dove of peace still
roosting on the roof pole.
Mr.. Smith is perfectly aware
that his beloved Maria will de-
liver a curtain lecture that will
be interminable if he tells her
that he stayed downtown at
night to play poker with some
old crony, but she will think
that he did no more than his
duty if he remained away from
his own fireside to toll to make
more money for her to spend
Very well, it's a cinch that Mr..
Smith is going to tell Maria
about why he wasn't home for
dinner.
Mrs. Smith knows by expert
ence the storm that will break
over her. head If she admits that
she paid SIS for her new hat.
Therefore she sweetly remarks
to Mr.. Smith that, oh, dear,
she's nearly dead; she's just
been running all over town try
ing to find a hat that looked like
anything and that wouldn't cost
but $l2, but, thank goodness,
she found one in a shop in
Eighth avenue that looks as il
it had come from Fifth avenue,
and she didn't have to pay but
$40 for it. Such a bargainl
And Mr.. Smith remarks that
it looks good to him and he's
glad he's married to woman
who knows the value of money
and doesn't fool it away as
other women do. And Mrs.
Smith kisses him, and has the
difference between what she
pays for the hat and what she
says she paid for the hat
charged up on the grocery book
and the butcher book. and deep
peace reigns over Europe, Asia,
Polynesia and the Smith family.
Such experiences are not con-
fined to the Smith family. They
are daily enacted in every
household in the land, and the
fault is not with the liar, but
with the tyrant that makes the
liar. No man but would like to
be frank with his wife. No
woman but would like to be
open and above board with her
husband, but the price of We
racity is a continual row, and
we all prefer peace even if we
have to get it by subterfuge.

Upon investigation the collector
announced that he was con-
vinced that the reason the lady
made a false report of what she
paid for the frock was not be- I
cause she desired to defraud the
government, but because she
was afraid to tell her husband
the truth about what the gar
ment had cost.
About the same time man in
Yonkers appeared at home early
