SUCH KIND NEIGHBORS
THEY WE'RE REALLY SORRY FOR
POOR Mr.. YoUNcWiFE.
"And What Gould You Expect, With
Such a Frivolous Wife as Thst7"
But Somehow Things Turn
ed Out Differently

TO breakfast with her husband. aIrs.
Conscientious Youngwife arose be-
times. mornings.
The husband must needs hasten
down town at an early hour, for there
were affairs OF moment that required
his attention while the day was yet
young
When she had kissed her other self
good By. Mrs Y6ungwife turned to and
cleaned up her not too big house; fer
she felt that she could afford but one
maid The Youngwifes we're just start
ing out IN the world. you know
When the house was set to rights.
Mrs. Youngwife washed and dressed
her child and escorted the small one
TO the kindergarten
Then she Jared forth into the mar
ket-place and. in person, purchased
what the inner Youngwife would need
for the next % hours
Then she went home aud stitched
UP the childs frock.
Then she went out and brought her
child home from the kindergarten
Then she sat on the back porch and
worked the buttonholes i'm the little
frock, while the child played ID the
sand pile, under its mothers eve.
Then she washed and dressed the
child again and sent it out with the
one maid Cwhen the luncheon dishes
were ont OF the way
Then she arrayed herself in gay gar
ments and Jared forth TO card parties
aud such women's doings as pleased
! her fancy Mrs Grundy, living across
the street, watched al these cominss
and goings She shook her head and
said.

sad that they could not leave talking

And so Mr. Youngwife found 1t very
hard to get some business accommo-
dalton that he needed, because men
who could furnish such accommoda.

was better to beware Of a young man
with foolish wife.
The lack Of money hampered the
young man very much for a time: but
when his wife saw that he was trou-
bled, she told him not to mind that
she could get up a little earlier and
stay up little later. and let the maid
go and only have woman come in for
the heavy cleaning. till business was
better and they sailed into smoother
waters.
That cheered UP Mr. Youngwite so
much that he dug down into his brain
deeper than he had ever been before
and brought up something much more
valuable than borrowed money. and
made great business success. and
bought an electric runabout
And the neighbors said:

And they wagged their heads sorrow
fully and were secretly glad
