and poor couples quarrel over about
the same things. The bride feels her
self aggrieved over the lack of ca
resses, such as she believes her young
husband should lavish upon her. The
husband becomes annoyed at the no
ton that they should sit and court of
an evening in the park now that they
are welded. She accuses him of his
love growing cold. He accuses her of
being far more of foolish girl, than
he ever imagined her to be. She ac-
cuses him of not wanting to take her
out of an evening, yet passing those
hours away from her. He retaliates
that he has to work overtime to pay
their bills, adding that he didn't cal
culate it would cost so much more to
keep two than one; continuing he
finds he has to put up for the cost of
a whole army of people, for that's
what the entertaining she insists upon
doing, amounts to. What woman will
allow a man to have the last word?
She retaliates. Because she is married,
does he expect her to shut herself up
in the house, never see human face,
or the light of day outside of the four
walls? He suggests that wife's place
is at home, not gadding. This adds
fuel to the fire of her wrath. She
splutters holly. Her eyes are being
opened to the fact that it is a cook
and elderly woman of all work he

wife to be finding fault with. If the
one or the other turned the first re-
mark off with a smile, refused to an
swer back, much trouble could be
avoided. One angry word brings on
another. He turns modify away,
leaves the house without his goodbye
kiss, that made his duties, his life and
the world so sweet to him. She misses
it quite as much; but finds little salts
faction in resorting to tears, crying
a trace of it when he comes home at
night in her swollen face, bloodshot
eyes. She thinks he does not notice
It, when she has her hair SO nicely
Curled, and her best bib and tucker
on. But he does. Each Is repentant
to be sure. It's the one who shows
the first overtures towards peace, that
gives proof that such little tiffs are
danger signals, to wreck future hap
piness. Each young married couple
should make compact that they will
never, never, quarrel, but keep their
hearts happy with love.

At half-past twelve Durham, just
home from the office, looked about his
little uptown fiat. The fiat was empty,
and it seemed to inspire in him a
good deal of interest.
The living room was empty. The
dining room was empty, though his
wife had left substantial cold lunch
for him before she went away. His
wife's room was empty and stripped
Of her belongings. In fact, Dora Dun
ham had gone away for three-days'
vacation without her husband.
Durham sneered, but it was merry

ness about it.

Durham, the fifteen-hundred-a-ye
clerk, seemed to have shaken off the
cares of business and the RESPONSE
bilities, of married life at the same
time. Before his wife had departed
alone it had been understood that the
financial situation made a vacation for
both impossible that year. Mentally
each had reserved the right to three
days outing. They had spoken of this
wish about the same time, and had
agreed to try the holiday separately.
The train stopped at the station.
Durham walked toward the hotel, car

lstered than he made his way along
the boardwalk, and beyond it, to the
edge of the summer settlement.

normally. He knew that somebody ex-

PICkELL EXPLAINS
WHY FIGHT OCCURRED

Certain privileges which he has
heretofore enjoyed will be denied Rob.
ert Phillips, high school student, by
Principal F. G. Pickell. for the part
Philips assumed in a ,ged disobedi-
ence to the orders of f. H. Gillespie,
commercial department instructor
which resulted In q stru1 lie In a tot.
let room OF the high school building
recently.
Principal Pickell today in making "a
explanation of the affair said that It
was Gillespie and not Philips who was
uppermost after the student and the
teacher had fallen to the floor in the
struggle. The principal supports the
action OF the teacher In ordering the
boy to leave the toilet room.
There was no fight and no one was
whipped" said Mr.. Pickell in state
ment to the public today, the boy in
question sir ply refused to leave the
toilet room when told to do so by Mr..
Gillespie.
1T is against the rules for students
to loiter in these rooms Mr.. Giles
pie, when the boy refused to leave,
tried to put him out and his efforts
resulted in a struggle. There were no
blows struck. ..
The teacher got the boy down on
the floor and was on top Of him. They
quit struggling when / came in.
Mr.. Gillespie is not in the habit
OF creating disturbance and he can be
counted upon to do right. He's sorry
that the trouble occurred. Neither he
nor believe in the use Of physical
force to have orders executed Teach
ers don't do that nowadays"
