EXCUSES OF A MARRIED MAN.

And had you loved me then, my dear.
And had you loved me there,
When still the sun was in the East,
And hope was In the air.
When all the birds sang in the dawn
And but sang to you,
Oh. had you loved me then. my dear,
And had you then been true.
A young woman who had two beaux
IA widower and young single man
chose the latter to wed, whimsically
giving the following reason: "The
young man knows none of the tricks Of
the average married man in keeping
that part of his business affairs from
his wife which he doesn't care to have
her familiar with or know about. It
would take him at least decade of
years to get into full swing the ex-
cuses the man with long record of
marital years usually keeps on tap.
A young. inexperienced husband would
be apt to tell me very frankly who de-
tanned him, making him an hour late
for dinner, and why. The man who
had gone over similar road with a
former wife would came pretty near to
knowing what / would say or do If he
told me he had been obliged to hunt up
a Mr.. Hunt on matter of important
business--if he's a storekeeper: draw

clerk or bookkeeper ne has at his
tongues end the old story of being
Obliged to work over time. The pho
tographer can tell his little story and
get away with 1t of the man dts al
ways a many who is obliged to come
after his hours of employment are
over to indulge In sitting for a photo.
sThe husband In the automobile bust
ness has no difficulty in keeping his
wife guessing by telling her he wasn't
joy-riding with pretty blonde girl
as her friends confidentially reported
to her. On the contrary, he was DEM
onstrating his car to cranky, middle
aged woman, hoping to have the luck
to sell 1t to her, adding that If she
wanted a dozen more rides she'd get
them as a matter of course. He makes
too many excuses. The real estate man
can tell that a man took him here or
there to look at property, and who can
doubt him?
"The railroad conductor, the fireman
or the engineer can pin his hopes for
immunity from the scolding with the
ancient, honored excuse that the train
came in an hour late. The plumber has
things his own way; he can be sent
for at any hour, to go any place, stay
ing as long as he sees fit, and not one
wife out of u thousand would take the
notion to verify his statement. The
man who keeps the livery stable can
keep dinner waiting seven nights out
of the week and often accept unde-
served pity from his wife with the
hundredth-told excuse of having to
wait until this team came in or that
one went out, the sick horse or smashed
carriage, etc. And as for the doctor,
no wife may ever expect to keep tabs
on him.
"Of course all of these good husbands
mean well. They make up excuses
wheE the truth-they forget the din
ner hour, wife and home-would serve
them best in the END. 1t is strange
but true, that the husband who com.
mences making false excuses seldom
or never gets out of the habit. Indeed
he often finds it hard to tell the truth
about anything"

so cents annually for each car. In
Texas and South Carolina no annual
registration fees are collected, the only
requirement being q county fee of 80
cents and 81 respectively for perennial
registration. Most of the states, how
ever, also levy annual taxes on motor
vehicles and this adds Importantly to
the public revenue contributed by the
owners of motor-propelled vehicles.
In the use of fees. however, there
seems to be general policy of apply
ing the major part of the money col
lected from automobilists directly to
road betterment. In AZ of the states
of the Union all or the major portion
of the motor-vehicle revenue must be
expended for the construction, i'm
provement, or maintenance of the pub
lie roads, or for the maintenance of the
state highway department. In 20
states, all or the major portion of the
net motor-vehicle revenues are ex-
pended by or under the supervision or
direction of the state highway depart
ment. In seven states one-half to one
fourth of the state motor-vehicle rev.
enues are expended through the state
highwaysdepartment, and the remand
er by the local authorities. Many
states, in addition to applying license
fees to road construction expend for
this purpose large part of the fines
and penalties collected from owners.
In the number of registrations New
York state led in 1915 with 255,242 !;
Illinois was second with 1S0,S32; Cali
fornia third with 163,797; and Penn
sylvania fourth with 160,137.

tive letters substantial tapes or braids
of almost any kind will make on house
hold linens? This is really as easy
way of marking as any. 1t is neces-
sary, of course, first to mark off your
letters; a script is usually best for
braidwork, and the marking can be
done with stout card upon which the
letter has been drawn and the outline
perforated with pins. This card will
last for many stampings with a soft
lead pencil through the perforations.
Cotton soutache. very fine rickrack,
coronation, cotton rat-tail or any braid
may be worked into these letters. The
heavier braids, of course, should be re-

front. The body of the coat could not
be cut on simpler lines. and it hangs
straight from the shoulder. 1t is joined
to the peplum under a soft crushed
belt of the taffeta, fastening at the
front with prim bow and buckle.
Round velvet-covered buttons and
small silk cord loops take care of the
front fastening.
The sleeves are long and flare a little
at the band, where they are slashed in
to rounded points. A soft collar of
pique is worn inside the rolling collar

wear, it Is one of the most satisfactory
possessions. Women who know how

plain suits and embellish them with EN-

of other trimmings and fashion fea-
lures the plain suit may be converted
into an expression of individual taste,
as the season grows older.

ROAD !.
BUILDING
MONEY FOR IMPROVED ROADS
Sixteen Million Dollars In Auto Feee
Spent for Building and Mainte-
nance During 1915.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.b
Ninety per cent of the registration
and license fees paid in 1915 by auto
mobilists to the states, or $16,213,307,
was spent for the building and main
tenance of county and state roads, ac-
cording 70 compilation just published
by the Office Of public roads, q. s. de-
partment of agriculture. In all, 2,445,-
664 motor vehicles, were registered in
that year and their owners paid to-
tai of $1S,245,713 for registrations and
drivers and dealers licenses. This is
an increase of IS, 1868, 760 over 1914, and
an increase of 734, 1875 in the number
of vehicles registered. Automobile
fees now defray nearly Z per cent of
the total amount spent on rural road
and bridge building, whereas in 1906
the income from this source was less
than three-tenths of 1 per cent of the
total expenditure.
The growth of the volume of fees
and registrations is noted by the fact
that in 1901 New York, the first state
to require fees, collected only 1854. In
1905 only $4,000 cars were registered
throughout the entire United States.
BY 1915, however, the number had
| jumped to the figure given, so that
there is slightly more than one motor
car registered for each of the 2,375,000
miles of road outside of the incorpor-
ated towns and cities.
The relation between cars and road
mileage varies widely in different sec.
tons. There is only one motor car for
every six miles Of rural road in Ne.
vada, but nearly six motor cars for
every mile of such road in New Jersey

bama.
1t must be understood, however, that
the figures of registration do not ne
cessarily represent total number OF
cars, as some of the states do not re
quire annual registration, others group
pleasure and commercial cars and mo.
torcycles in their accounts, while still
other states do not require registra-
ton of motorcycles.
There is great inequality in the reg
istration fees charged by the different
states. The average for the United
States was S7.46. The state of Yer
mont, however, secured in 1915 gross
revenue of $3.50 for each motor car

BY daring to be perfectly plain, but
otherwise not going contrary to pre-
vailing fashions, the taffeta suit shown
may make claim to noteworthy orig
lnality. 1t is between-seasons affair,
which will prove safe investment for
the young women who must make an
early selection. 1t is happy choice
for the miss who is still In school, and

Do they not afford places in which
one might get acquainted with pros

and pleasure may be found here also,
but not the intoxicated KIND thht
warps ordinary cool judgment.
The happiest marriages come about
by young people meeting under the
aforementioned auspices, but the
trouble seems to lie with the vast army
of young men and women who are not
churchgoers, and therefore miss that
valuable medium of becoming ac-
quainted.
The dance has Its uses in keeping
young hearts light; is a means of
healthful exercise, contributes pleas

Looking at the situation from many
viewpoints. the need will be seen of a
nationwide plan of bringing marriage
able. moral young people together. If
the influential church women of each
neighborhood would put. their Shout
ders to the wheel, the good results
would be surprising. There are many
young men-and good ones at that
who might fight shy of being lured into
church affairs, no matter what the
scheme at issue might be. Such young
