Il do like an occasional can Of spag-

he home made article would be
thousand times better But III these
degenerate days the husband and 1aln-
er cant expect TO have home cooked
grub. In his young manhood he gets
married expecting that great privilege,
but he soon finds that he has drawn
a gold brick When the honeymoon
is over he has to go to the hardware
store for can opener and from tn4L
time forward he eats out of cans. HIS
wife is too busy writing essays on the
suffrage question, or attending the
meetings of the Federation OF FAMOUS
Females, to spend few hours IN her
kitchen compromising the succule1U

Of eating home cooked grub
AS / rema LIKED. I am fond Of spag-
hett now and then, but the mere know
ledge that there is a mountain of the
stuff stored away in the cellar destroys
my appetite for it. 1t viii take me
eight years and six months to eat six
dozen cans, and before half that time
has elapsed most Of the stuff viii be
tired of any particular kind OF eat
ableS, just lay IN cord I remember
when I was a boy. Mrs JamesW Orthys

get my fiji of mince pie I could close
my tired eyes and die in peace j used .
to stand in front Of the bakers window

almost more than I could endure

baker was wise man The first day
I was in his shop he saw me swipiug
q small piece OF mInCe pie, and he told
me, with a genial smile, to go right
didn't have to urge me, Mrs. James
worthy. I sailed in with a zeal worthy
a better cause and ate minCe pies un-
til my system would hold no more 1T
was many a year before tackled an
other pie. Nothing in that bake shop
ever looked good to me again.

lieve that she had great trouble getting
it. Some time ago you opened a can
of clam chOwder, and told me it was
the only one the grocer had in stock,
and don't think ] ever consumed any
thing that tasted better. You noticed
my delight and went to another grocery. (
and got q dozen cans, and when YOU
told me about il / lost all interest in
clam chOwder. You had to give away
eight or ten cans to the washerWOman,
if remember right.
And now you tell me that you have
saved three cents by purchasing six {
dozen cans Of spaghetti in a bunch. I
Well, you viii have to eat it yourself, {

the stuff on the table again.
