Several years ago when ] flied a r.

with requests for advice from persons
who wished TO succeed ito accom-
plish;' Ito attain" But, as strange
as the statement may seem 20 y3n,
I car |truthfully say that not one per
cent.-not one in a hundred Of these
earnest seekers was able to state ex-
actly what he or she really wanted.
They were dissatisfied and discon-
tented and felt the vague urge of IN
rest pushing then, forward to further
endeavor and attainment-but it stop
ned right there. Ninety-nine out OF
every hundred did not know what they
wasted. They asked not only for adj
vice regarding the means Of accom-
plishment and attainment, but also for
information as to what they should
really desire.

When mans last ballot il counted, and
woman has cornered her rights,
VIII the husbands sit up to ask questions
when WHEY stays out late of nights ?
VIII the women complain of expenses for
rent and provisions and meat,
While the men look for bargains on Mon
days. and vow the new fashions are
sweet?
viii man take his place on the rostrum
and rally his own weaker sex,
Or read from a neatly typed paper solu-
tons of questions that vex?
Will man hear in vigorous echoes his an
cient attacks on her clubs
And listen to hints on the virtues of him
who tends children and scrubs?
When man is showed into the background,
will he touch his cheeks up with
tints
And read beauty columns to garner the
helpful suggestions and hints?
VIII he see his picture emblazoned as
starring in dramas by Fitch,
Or trudge to his task as a sempster to
sew his poor soul in each stitch?
When man has been properly sidetracked
will he have a great appetite
For chocolate sundaes and soda. and nib
BILE at fudge with delight?
Will he be the slave of the fashions? VIII
he aunt each May a new fiat?
VIII he be a picture Of sorrow when
wearing an out-of-date hat?
When mans last ballot is counted, and
woman's new rule is supreme
Then this is the question that murmurs
insistently on through our dream:
VIII woman write jests as the men do on
people and parties and life
VIII father-in-law jokes pass current?
VIII we meet the poor henpecked
wife?
