The Wonderful Tree
BY VIRGINIA VALE

Once upon a time Jack Frost
took his paint pots and went out
into the woods TO paint the trees.
He had a pot of gold, a pot Of red.
a pot of yellow and pot Of green.
He climbed up in the branches and
started to paint all the leaves.
Some he painted bright red, some
a deeper green and some red and
gold. He started to climb up into
another beautiful tree which he
decided to paint with all Of the
best colors he could think off and
TO make it the most wonderful

for the truth of the following, says
the Youths Companion: One after
noon he found the six-year-old son of
his host settled in front of the draw
ing-room fire with sheet of paper be-
fore him and a pencil clasped in his
chubby fist. Stealing look over the
boys shoulder he saw that the little
fellow was making pictures.
"Well, Bobby" he asked genially,
"are you drawing an engine?"
Slowly the child looked up, and slow
iy he spoke:
at would take a very strong boy to
draw an engine; but l am making a
picture of locomotive"

Something Is NIL Wrong

In the December issue of the Wom-
ans Home Companion two writer's
show the curious contrast Of view
point on marriage held by modern
young men and women. Several
young men were asked why they
avoided matrimony, and one. whose
engagement had been broken, made
the following comment on the up-to-
date girl:
II want just a common, garden VA
riety OF wife, like father married.
There can't be two business careers
under one roof. I'm willing to work
like two, IL she'll drop hers. And. let
me tell you. when I'm the head OF a big
automobile concern,I'll issue a ukase-
no girls employed In any branch OF
the plant. That's what / think of mat
rimony for the business girl. Bust
ness warps her view on the home, the
husband and babies. She thinks she
wants all three of them, and she does;
but her salary. her financial independ-
ence. the habit OF earning have a
stronger hold on her. My stars. what
bunch OF tight-wads and tyrants our
male ancestors must have been!"
In striking contrast to this view is
that OF the young heroine OF THE
Rising Tide"
Shall ! make the soap, or knit
Mortimore's stockings? Or do you
want me to wait on the table, and put
Flora out of a job? No; where people
have any money at all, home duties"
as far as girls are concerned, are play
ed out. Machinery is the cucoo that
has pushed women out of the nest OF
domesticity. That's not original with
me- she added. honestly, but It's true.
! haven't anything to do at home. so
I've got 70 do something outside"

On Proposing

A woman writing upon the subject
OF proposals. advocates the idea OF the
young ladies proposing. She says the
situation is very much changed since
the days when our grandmothers did
their counting. In those days the
suitors for a girls hand proposed at
% or %. but now they wait until 30
or over. OF course. these are average
figures, but they show the tendency OF
the times. that the young men keep on
delaying the climacteric and they
really need a little assistance I'm
reaching IL. And Il is really a wo-
mans business TO render the assist
ance, since she is the one whose rights
and hopes are dallied with. The only
objection is that young man who
constantly puts of the proposal until
late day-until he reaches the next
generation-is not apt TO be worth
waiting for; and II he ought to be re-
minded that time flies. he ought to
join time and fly. too.-Ohio State
