Beware, then, and dol not say we have not warned youl
 Fools Day thats1it fills. universal need of human nature We are mostly fools,' said Carlyle. The fools festival should begin on the first of January and end on the last day of December, according to Dean Swife 70, noble fool! A worthy fool! Motley's the only wear!' So Shakespeare. AWe have all a touch of that same-you understand me a speck of the motley wrote Charles Lamb. s'Beshew the man who on such a day as this. the only general festival, should affect to stand aloof. ' Even the mighty Voltaire wrote in praise of those ''poissons d'AvriI ancient French festival of All Fools. Plutarch notes an old Roman feast similar to our modern First of April. For countless centuries the Hondoos have had, in their Hula, a celebra- ton exactly similar.
 It is appropriate that April should be chosen for this observance, for it is a, month that makes fools of all of us being hot when we expect it to be cold and cold when we expect it to be hot, and making a jest of all

Her eyeiids l were dry and orderly, land her nose had not been blown once to my reeol- lylection. Truly, it was a marvellous re- icovery. I still wonder. i. The cause of her excitement was yis- 1 ibIe at a glance. A trim nursemaid stood in the small gallery which eircledf 1 the top of the turret, just above and 10 i the right of us.

POOR RULE THAT WON'T
 WORK BOTH WAYS
Dear Miss Ldbbey:

Dear Miss Iibbey:
 Tread your advice to others. Please band thinks there should be only one pocketbook; for both to use the same purse Carefullys he always keeps it with him. I never have any money without asking for it. He always wants to know how much must have; what am to get with it. < I don't go to town often. When I do, he always inquires what I intend to get He a1- ways says we can't get very much, for he is out of money. We always buy the groceries with eggs. If there are chickens sold, money always goes in one pocketbook- That is the last of it. As a rules this is the way a fa1- mer's wife makes any money. We are married fifteen years. He's been a great hand to ego. always stay at home on account of the children being small never cared for his going. Not that want him to stay home as have to. There have been times I felt as if he ought to have been home with me. He told me if ever told him to stay at home he would go to show me he could. He says husband and wife should work for one anoth- mess to transact, anything comes up, he asks what I think about it, then goes ahead; does just as he thinks. If he had to come to me if he wanted a nickel, tell me what he wanted it for. he would look at it in 8 different way. The woman need not carry the pock- etbook, but have one of her own. If she wanted a nickel she would not have to ask for one, like a child. I'd rather do without necessaries than ask for money. Is this a one-sided part nership? Advise, please. if I am wrong or right.
 MRS M P One naclxathool< vyF,ic1, hotl1 fiji is excellent in a household, if the use of 1t is not an abuse, as in your case. If 8 wife is good enough to save and pinch nickeIs for it she should be told to econonaize, yet take small amount of money for her needs, as he does. Husbands like to go where men con gregate at times. They should will ing1y stay home when they can per- s1ade their wives to enjoy a few hours Once in a while with lady friends. Poor rule that won't work both ways.

4st5cw dare you suggest such thina!" take this occasion to repeat that I've never seen any one in all my life so pretty as sheI) Her moist red lip trembled slightly, like censured chi1d's.
 With an abrupt change of manner she began to pace the floor, dlstracted- IF beating her elinched hands against her bosom. Twice I heard her mur- mur, "Oh. God.''
 This startling exposition of feeling gave me a most uncanny shock.
 And now I was witness to the pain she suffered. now I heard her cry out against the husband that had hurt her so pitiIessly. I turned my head away, vastly moved. Presently she moved over to the window. A covert glance revealed her standing there, looking not down at the Danube that seemed so far away, but up at the blue sky that seemed so near.
 The sound of dry, suppressed sobs came to my ears. It was too much for me- I stealthily quit my position by the mantelpiece and uptoed toward the door, bent on leaving her alone. Halfway there I hesitated, stopped and then deliberately returned to the fireplace, where I noisily shuHed g fresh supply of coals into the grate. It would be heartless, even unmanner- Iy, to leave her without letting her know that I was heartily ashamed of myself and completely in sympathy with her Wisely, however. I resolv- ed to let her have her cry out. Some one a great deal more farseeing than I let the world into a most important secret when he advised man to take that course when in doubt.
 For a long while I waited for hel to regain control of herself, rather dreading the apology she would fee called upon to make for her abrupt reversion to\ the first principles of hel sex. The sobs ceased entirely. I ex perienced the sharp joy of relaxation Her dainty lace handkerchief found employment First she would dab ii cautiously in one eye, then the other after which she would serutinize its erumpled surface with most extraor dinary interest. At least dozeI times she repeated this puzzling opera ton. What in the world was she look ing for9 To this day that strange, sly
