Why My Wife Left Me.

"Oh. l did the usual fool stunts
that so many other married men do

planned about the size of the baby 5

to other women, and forgot my wife's
birthday. Went on joy rides, and had
midnight suppers at roadhouses with
crowds that whooped things up until
almost day, and then went home as
cross as a bear.
When my wife spoke to me about
the way ! was doing l accused her
of being jealous. and demanded to
know If she thought that 1 intended
TO be always tied to her apron strings.
furthermore, / informed her that l
intended to preserve my own personal
liberty, and do as l chose without
giving any account to her, and l also
Informed her that after my hard days
work l needed the relaxation of some
gayer amusement than sitting around
home with her and the kids.
"'Would you like to see me go about
to parties with other men, and take
midnight rides with other men in
their automobiles? she asked me with
a curious look in her eyes. 81 could,
you know" she added.
Certainly L wouldn't stand for it,,
cried hotly. You're a woman and
my wife. and I expect you to remem-
ber that. It's different with man.
"'Oh, l don't know. We are both

my grief and shame and unaVail-

and begged my wifes forgiveness,
never doubling that a woman could
forgive all and wipe a husbands trans

off a slate.

the door, and the door of woman's

No matter for how long time we may
have given up petticoats, they are really
dear to the feminine heart, and their
return to favor is sure to be met with
welcome. Here is one that is excellent
for it is without unnecessary trimming,
and allows a choice of founces of three
different sorts. For one use, the circular
hounce will be the best, for another, the
gathered flounce will be found perfect,
and the plated founce makes the best
possible finish for thin materials In the
illustration, the petticoat with circular
hounce is made of messaline satin with
trimming of heavy lace banding. One of
the other views shows fine white cambria
with founce of embroidery, and another
view shows crepe de chine with plated
founce. Since these are all desirable ma
terials and the special founce suits each
one perfectly, the design is exceptionally
useful. There is no fullness at the belt

II lost my wife," said the tenth
man, because l did not understand
that what is sauce for the gander is
sauce for the goose. Also because l
put a sublime and childlike faith in
the comfortable masculine theory of
woman's abnormal power to forgive
any kind of treatment that a man
hands out to her, and to so on loving
him STILL
''I started out my married life with
a very strict moral code for my wife
and a lax one for myself. l thought
n great deal about her duty to me
and very little about my duty to her.
She was to be like Caesars wife, but
was TO be as much of a rounder as
Il pleased. She was to always meet
me with a glad, sweet smile-when-
ever 1 chose to come home.
"Of couse. that wind of matrimo-
NAL platform is accepted by some
women. but they are either poor-spir-
tied creatures or else they are tinan-
cially dependent on the husbands that
force them into such contemplate

because they lack the courage to as
sert themselves and fight back, or be-
cause the husband means a meal tick
ct to them, and they can't afford to
quarrel with their bread and butter.
Unfortunately for me. my wife be-
longed to neither class. She has as
brave and intrepid a spirit as was
ever housed in a human body. and
she had quite enough money of her
own to make her independent of me
for her support. And, incidentally. 1
should like to remark right here that
one of the reasons that so many men
object to women going into gainful
pursuits is because they recognize
thta we men would have to treat our
wives better when they became tinan-
cially independent. The only reason
that women stand for many things
from men that they do stand for is
because. if they get up and leave their
unfaithful or brutal husbands, they've
got no place to so, no way of making
a living.
However, so far as the money
question is concerned, it cut no figure
in the wreck or our happiness. l

was one of the women who would
