YOUR FATHER IS RIGHT.
A Clever Wife.

Food faddists cause Ralph Nevill TO
make some rather piquant remarks in
his latest book. "FancIes, Fashions and
Fads" (Methuen). and he tells an anus
ing story at the expense OF one Of
them.
When at luncheon with friend. he
observed that he touched no meat, but
ate only certain strange vegetarian
dishes, which had evidently been pre-
pared for his special consumption. La
ter on" says Mr.. Nevill. IT inquired of
his wife if this new diet agreed with
her husband"
at didn't at first, she replied, but
It does now
From his looks, he/certalnly seems
to thrive on it. He never looked more
robust in his life
"T take care of that she went on,
though 1 hope he won't find it out.
No man partakes of a more carnivor-
GUS diet than he. Every one of those
vegetable courses you saw to-day was
full of the strongest meat juice, which.
by my orders, is put into everything
served to him before it appears on the
table.

alluring creature.

to be kind they called me spirituelle,

But Alma was entirely happy, es-
pecially when the talk turned on con-
jugal fidelity, and the faithful hus-
band was held up to ridicule. This
happened very often in one house We

veyed by my husbands glance at me
set my heart afire, and. poor feverish
and entangled fool that | was, / de-
termined to defy them.
So, running up 10 the top and seat
ing myself on the toboggan, ] set IT
in motion. But hardly had ] done so
when it swayed. reeled, twisted and
threw me off, with the result that !

there would have been an end Of the

had failed and covered myself with
ridicule, | was overwhelmed with con-
fusion.
I thought my husband would be
angry with me, and feel compromised
by my foolishness, but he was not, he
was amused, and when at last ! saw
his face it was running In riVulets
from the laughter he could not re-
strain.
That was the end Of all things, and
when Alma came up TO me, saying
everything Nlebt was hlASNtA'iiHuN "AiN
insincere about her poor, dear, un-
fortunate Margaret Mary" (only
women know how to wound each
other so), brushed her aside, went
off to my bedroom, and lay face down
on the sofa. feeling that / was ut
terly beaten and could fight no more.

hand came in, and, though ] did not
look up, l heard him say. In n tone Of

were to leave for Rome i'm

Alma was to go with us, but that
did not matter to me in the least.
Outside the atmosphere of this place,
so artificial, so unrelated to nature,
her power over my husband would be
gone. Once in the Holy City every
thing would be different. Alma would
be different. | should be different,

churches and basilcas; | should show

But what a deep disappointment
awaited me,
on reaching Rome We put up at a
fashionable hotel in the new quarter
of the Ludovisi, and although that
was only a few hundred yards from
the spot on which I had spent nine
happy years, it seemed to belong 10
another world altogether Instead OF
the church domes and the monastery

of automobiles, the rattle Of cars and

kkVT TtLFRED has given up writ
wv ing for the magazines" said
the Manicure Lady. AT
least, that is what he says he has
swore off on, and l guess he means it
this time. 1t seems that he made If
teen dollars last week writing some
ads for a new kind of soup that
comes in cans, and they told him that
| they would give him more money
than that if he could turn out GER
| tain number of verses every week. He
always starts in counting his money
before he has it in his mitt, and the
old man is always telling him not to
do that, but this time / think he is a
little nearer to plain looney than he
has ever been over any one thing,
which is saying a whole lot. He says
that If he can get few more con-
Germs like this soup house on his staff
he will be getting the dough so fast
he can't spend it,"
Il shouldn't think that a poet like
your brother would want to do any
thing so common as to write soup
ads" said the Head Barber.
81 guess 1t did gall him a little I'M
til he got that fifteen dollars" said
the Manicure Lady. He used to think
that he would be satisfied just }
write poems for the people that come
after him to appreciate, but the old
gent told him there wasn't a chance
for any of the stuff he wrote to live
longer than a househy, who when he
got the fifteen bucks ] suppose he fig
ured that fifteen is fifteen, and now
he is going to the soup poems ten
hours a day. | think some of them is
kind Of cute, too. How would you
like this one, George, If you had a
soup you wanted to advertise:
Soup is very nourishing;
II keeps the body hourishing.
The soup which most does take my
fancy
Is canned and sold by P. T. Clancy"
II think that sounds A lot better
than some of the hgh-toned poems
that he used to try to write" said the
Head Barber. There is some sense
to the one you just read"
Il thought it pretty good myself"
said the Manicure Lady, and Wilfred
figures that it ought to sell quite a
lot OF soup. Here is another he wrote
for the Clancy people:
'"rhe gods that on Olympus dwelt
Put lots of nectar under their belt.
They drank this nectar morn and
night
Which kept them beautifully
tight
To drinking nectar I would not
stoop
But am fond Of Clancy's Soup"
"That ain't a bad one, either" said
the Head Barber. i wouldn't be sur
prised If this would be a gold mine
for your brother. ] wish / could do
something like that for a change. I'm
getting sick of this razor gesheft."
Here is one more that Wilfred
wrote, and l guess this Is the one
that made them send the fifteen dol
lars. Listen to this one, George, and
then won't bother you any more"

droop
