7 THEN Lysander John Appleton
~ was a single man he was as
light-hearted and re-free


light hearted and care-free
as a butterfly
He did not know that the order
Nature pursues SO Systematically in
the chronological kingdom is reversed
in the human male.
He had not learned that marriage is
the transformation period, and that
the male butterfly who enters ii IS
Matched out a worm.
This he soon discovered, but there
was more to learn. A worm he was
for many years, meek bat nameless.
His species was made known to him
only in recent years when his wife be-
gan wearing a dress that hooked up
the back.
No mans inventive genius can keep
pace with the fashions, and before
man. in the fertility of desperation,
had invented a gas engine for hooking
up dresses and relieving hOOkworm
husbands, the hook had gone and the
button had taken its place.
With buttons off his own coat, Ly-
sander John found himself confrontei
with the daily task of fastening sew
eral hundred on the dress of his Wife
The situation was satirical. He re-
called as he worked evening after
evening getting these buttons through
their holes the times when his own
buttons were off, and how on many
occa sions he had been driven to des-
perate measures to make his wife
realize it. more than once attracting
her attention, when all other means
failed. by twisting long lock o.
womanS blonde hair where the bu,-
ton was missing.
He was powerless in any rebellion
against the woman whose dress ne
buttoned. He realized this as he but
toned, and then unbuttoned and re-
buttoned because of a blunder along
the line. He must seek revenge for
his broken nails and bruised fingers
and distressed feelings on power
higher up.
He would sue the dressmaker.
Il will sue" he said this morning
when called on i'm his private office,
ION the ground that no dressmaker
makes as many holes as there are
buttons.
Her defense will be that she does,
but if / begin at the top of my Wife's
gown. at the bottom or i'm the middle.
there is always one more button when
/ get through than there is hole for
il to go into
IF the extra button isn't at the top
il is at the bottom or in the middle,
and sometimes-and on this point !
will be supported by the testimony
of hundreds of husbands-there are
two surplus buttons.
They never come out even! | VIII
bring suit against my wife's dress
maker for $4,000 for every surplus
button!'

Does Marriage Bore You?
By DOROTHY DIX.

the wife is called upon to make a thou
sand sacrifices where the husband has
to make but one.
No other work on is so mo-
notonous as homework, the constant
doing over Of small tasks that have
70 be done again the next minute and
that show no tangible result The
housewife cannot point TO the dinners
she has cooked and her family have
eaten, the clothes she has washed and
,mended. and they have soiIed and torn
again. the floors she has swept. and
that have been Uttered the next hour,
as the result OF her labor
Women, too, are more grateful for
kindness from their husbands than hus-
bands are for attentions from their
wives a woman with a really appre-
ciative husband goes about beating upon
cymbals and calling on her friends to
observe how blessed she is. whereas a
man takes everything that a good wife
does for him as no more than his due.
The average wife has the longest
hours of any worker in the world the
smallest amount of outside diversion
and the least pay. and yet she finds
matrimony not only endurable, but a
blessed estate, while the one best bet is
that the average man spends his time
wondering what made him fool enough
to saddle himself with a wife

Men Say YES. >.

In the discussion of this subject that
has been going on in The Georgian.
hundreds Of letters have been received
from both men and women Almost
every letter written by a man saws EN-
phatically that matrimony is bore. and
man is a fool TO get married. while
the women's letters are paean in
praise Of the happiness Of wedlock
Here are samples Of the opinions OF
men on the question

with eyes wide open. she saw the
figure OF a red bearded man appear
through an opening in the floor.
She attempted to run. but the man
threw himself at her. In a moment
she was gagged and bound. Then she
was carried into some underground
passage. In the meantime the storm
passed The lightning became less
and the rain stopped. The count was

A Natural Result.
II is a we'll known fact that num-
bers Of people habitually eat too much,
especially Of meat Sometimes the ex-
cess Of food is so great that it passes
through the alimentary canal and is at
once got rid Of In other cases the
unabsorbed portions undergo putrefac-
tive changes i'm the intestines.
In any case, an undue strain is put
upon the digestive organs. the liver and
kidneys, and in time these will yield 10
the strain and a broken constitution is
the result
Meat once a day for a person leading
a sedentary life is quite sufficient, Those
performing hard manual labor, of course,
need more, as they use no more.
Age. sex. occupation and climate
should determine both the quantity and
the quality Of food.
Boiling the food is national and a
very bad habit, and. like all habits,

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT OFF
FOR MAINLAND ON
THE SIBERIA

Voted one of the best impromptu
speakers ever heard in the University
Club. where many men of note have
addressed notable gatherings, w. HIP.
Faunce, president o. Brown univer
sity, yesterday delighted members OF
the local Brown alumni and other
members of the University Club, with
an interesting and sketchily humorous
account of his recent trip to the Far
East, as noted in brief by the Star
Bulletin yesterday.
President Faunce has the reputation
OF being one of the most finished after
dinner speakers in all New England,
a geographical unit which has pro.
duced some of the finest speakers or
all time. Popular vote among those
who heard the college head speak yes
terday would fully endorse the reputa-
ton that went before him.
President Faunce graduated from
Brown In the class of 1880. and in 1899
was elected president OF MS alma
mater. He has occupied the presiden-
tlal chair ever since, and is favorite
with faculty, graduates and Under
graduates. He is returning to his du
ties after an extended and well-earned
vacation, spent in socias and scientific
research in Egypt. India and Japan.
After the luncheon, at which num-
Der of prominent Honolulans were
present, President Faunce expressed
wish to see all of the island capital
that the limited sIop-oyer Of the Sibe-
ria would permit, and his former schol-
ars were only too glad of the oppor-
tunity to pilot him to the Bishop Mu-
scum, the quarium, and other points
of local interest. He was also enter
tanned during the evening.

guests at the luncheon. and who Wed

.aunce an interesting visit. were f.. E.
