IT was the night before Christmas,

/ near the table watching his
mother wash the supper dishes.
He stood first on one foot and then
on the other as he asked his mother
questions about the presents old Santa

morning.

moved his pipe from his mouth, you

Old Mr.. Jack Rabbit looked very

knew it was best to mind when his

table near his father. but | am sorry

and then Jackie heard him snore.

his mother, land il you don't hurry

mother, II will tell you about him

Jackie Rabbit was very, very fond of
hearing stories that his great grand
mother used to tell, so he promised to
be a good boy. and his mother went
into his room with him and began 20

question.

mot a Slap At Women, But
Plan to Regulate Custom"
Says One Member.

|THE day of the husband. that
overworked. bullied, brow
u beaten, henpecked human c1od.
has arrived at last. He has
taken unto himself courage and has
struck for his rights.
Hard to believe, isn't it? Hard to be-
lieve that a husband has any rights,
much less the moral backbone to assert
them. But despite the popular opinion,
here are the facts: A husbands club
has been established in New York. It's
sort of husbands union, with a regu-
lar union schedule of hours, labor, etc.
What is more, 1t is destined to become a
national institution. Branches will be
started in other cities. The brother
hood (did some one say of misery will
extend throughout the country. On the
theory that there is safety in numbers.
the husbands are planning a gigantic
move for emancipation.
Resolutions of Club.
Here are some of the resolutions on
which the existence Of the club is found
ed:
!. That women shall be compelled to
have the hooks and eyes on their dresses
arranged alternately, as, Tor instance,
hook, then eye, hook, then eye on the
same side. The object of this is that
previously hooked hooks will not come
undone as they always do when all
hooks are on one side and eyes on the
other. Husbands, as those most fire.
quently called on to deal with said
hooks and eyes, feel justified in this de-
mand. as II causes no difficulty to the
wearer. -..--.. ...
2 That women shall not have the
right to drag their husbands out of cozy
homes more than three evenings a week
if husbands object. A man works for
the mutual support of both, and is en-
titled to an even break of evenings per
week.
J. That if he chooses to go out on any
of the evenings set aside as his, he is
entitled t. do so, and to stay as late As
he chooses, provided he comes home in
conservative frame OF mind.
1. That wives shall be barred from
saving: Now. Win. or John. or Joe

ns sal tones, increasingly cloudy. often
followed by rain and sometimes storms.
:. That wives shall lie barred from US
ing abusive language without provoca-
tiOn-provocation to be determined by
mutual consent of husband and wife.
6. That husbands shall not be required
to feed the parrot, canary bird. cat
dog, or monkey.
Z. That snappy little dogs, considered
fashionable, shall not be allowed to
usrrp the affection to which the husband
is entitled.
g. That wives must get up and dress
for breakfast Q<imonos, nightgowns,
ETC., barred) unless deemed actually un-
able by husband sitting as jury of
one.
8. That no wife shall have the right to
interfere with her husband playing golf,
tennis. or any other game all day Sun
day, and shall not complain If he is late
to dinner. He bought the dinner.
10. That a husband has the right to
demand on sight an account of dIspo-
sitions OF money given by him to his
WIFE and that said accounting be given
cheerfully and without iockeying. mis-
statement or funny business Of any
sort whatever.
Among the charter members Of the
club are some men well known in West
Side society. A. S. Smythe Is president
and founder of the organization.
The Washington times., 1913-12-11

You see," he explained, with a side
long glance at Mrs. Smythe, who sat
eyeing him with the suspicion of smile
in her eyes, the necessity of such an
organization has long been felt by hus-
bands. None of US feels that We are
taken advantage of in all the ways that
are outlined under the twenty-nine
edicts Of our constitution, but any fair
minded woman will admit that there are
few of her sex who do not at times
allow their conduct to be covered by one

ner most conducive to mutual happiness.
The success OF marriage Is In no way
at variance with success in other prof.
ects, and 1t is well known that one Of
the foundations on which success is
built is system. Without system there
Is no success, and chis Is applicable to
matrimony as to the meat business or
the woolen industry.
Heretofore domestic life has been a
matter OF helter-skelter, ungoverned at
tempts at agreement-at unwilling sacri-
fees on both sides that stored up BIT
