On making Allowances" =.


I REMEMBER the one thing that
used to make me more boiling mad
than. any other. when I was a
small boy. It was when some one had
done me a grievous wrong and I told
my mother, only to be reminded that /
must make allowances" for him be-
cause, etc.
If boy Of eight threw a brick at
me-when I was nine-even though he
might have been q head taller than /
was, must make allowances for
him because he was a year younger
If the cook chased me out of the
kitchen when I was hungry, I must
make allowances" because she had
80 much work to do that day.
For years 1 flew straight to NV
mother with my troubles All bows do.
IL they're the right sort of boys and
nave the right sort Of mother. But,
after a while, my soul rebelled at that
wall Of allowances" from which all
my woes were detected, to strike back
at me.
Now I've grown up and I'm still do
ing business at the old stand. 1 make
allowances in my home when the
housekeeping slips a cog. 1 make al
lowances for my children when they
can't or won't understand. make
allowances for my employees when thew
don't make good-and carry them on
although they're deadwood. because
they have families to support: because
maybe some time they'll pan out, and
/ guess.
And where do get off? II bus,nase
worries drive me to distraction aud 7

and stink about the house il I deny
them any OF their wants. And nv
employees call me a slave driver.

that he was misunderstood. have
said, Beware! There's something

I'm doing now. I'm making a plea of
being misunderstood and abused, by my
associates.
Maybe IL 1 look little closer into
the mirror, I'll be able to see Just
little Of the reflection that turks in their
eyes, when they look at me. Maybe II
try to understand a little more with
nv heart than with my head. when I'm
grouchiest. I'll see that some people en-
deavor to make allowances for me
surely there must be some!
That's why I'm going right on making

Cupid This Year Is Having His Troubles With Suf-

Hamlet" Act ". Scene V.
ut. VALENTINES Day is the MEN,
ory Of an austere, martyred
- saint, kept green by a pagan god
Of mythology.
Just a dear, merry little pagan god
called Cupid. who this year is having
troubles of his own in trying to keep
up to the "up-to-dateness'' of the fem
mist movement with its eugenics, its
equality of men and women and its
demand for sterner stuff even in VAL
entines, for, as every one knows, love
letters always look silly in print
Why the cupidity Of Cupid should fig
Ure SO universaI-y IH keeping the grass
green on the grave of a martyred saint,
put to death for no greater crime than
opening the blind eyes of his jaiIer's
daughter, history fails to say. In fact.
history seems in this particular in
stance to be very remiss, for wherever
we find the dear old saint recorded at
all we usually find the word supposed"
accompanying the record.
St Valentines Day is not a birthday;
It is a death day-that is, St. Valentine,
according to what may be learned from
history, was put to death under Clau-
dius II on February "A. in the year Of
our Lord 20. It is only natural to sup
pose, then, that there was some sort Of
religious ceremony to commemorate his
death. which very shortly got mixed up
with paganism, Cupid and the ladies.
The Time o. Year.
The time of year when the dear saint
was put to death may have something
TO do with the mixing in Of Cupid and
the ladies. There always has been n
general belief that the time when the
birds go 'a-matlng" has its effect upon
the human race. In the spring a
goung mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts ot love" would bear out the
argument Perish the thought that "a
Young mans fancy" should go to waste
so enter the ladies and Cupid! It all
seems reasonable enough that ST. VaIen-
tines Day, being better fitted to this
particular time Of year than any other
saints, should be appropriated.
But even in the early days Cupid
was up against the feminist movement,
for we learn of "a peculiar Persian fes-
tival in ancient days known as the
Merd-Giran, which took place in Feb
ruary." and was supposed to be In
honor of the guardian angel of the
fair sex" During this festival, from
which the Valentine customs may have
sprung, husbands were commanded to
obey their wives and maidens had the
privilege Of proposing. Upon mating
pairs the 'angel Of the fair sex" was
supposed to shower fayors and gifts.

valentine appear 10 be q series OF about
