Luke McLuke Saws;

Sunday Is the occasion father selects
to stay home all day and eat up every
thing In the house so he will be able
TO wonder what makes him feel so rot
ten on Monday.
Any woman can make her face up
eight times while she is trying to make
her mind up once.
The reason why daughter can play
tennis all afternoon and dance all night
~ because she would have nervous
prostration If she had to wash the
dishes.
one time woman can keep secret
Is when she knows that the combina-
ton she is wearing is raggedy.
Any girl would rather have muddy
complexion than improve it by steam.

The trouble with buying an engage
ment ring on the inStallment plan Is
that you can't get II mortgage OH the
girl.
You may think that the purchase of Il
S2OO.OOO.OOO property would require
some careful iinanccering. But you
ought to see woman buying dimes
worth of soup vegetables from n buck
ster.
Every woman knows that if her hus-
bands faults came out in pimples his
face would look as If he had the
measles.
When father is hunting for the cork
screw and the bottle opener mother al
ways insists that if he put them away
when he was through with them he
could always find them. And then
mother wonders where she put the scis-
sors and the can opener when she used
them last and she starts In TO hunt for
them.
Never take any chances with the
man who is so afraid that you won't
know that he is honest that he has to
remind you of the fact
n girl would rather have beauty than
brains. because only n few OF the men
are blind and the rest Of them are
fools.
The handkerchlefs you see sticking
out of the upper pockets I'm mems coats
and the lace handkerchiefs the girls
carry are never used for what hand
kerchiefs are supposed TO be for.
