Jim were talking heard Jim say
something about a woman that
was the best stenographer and
private secretary in town." and
Dick answered, "But you simply
cannot forgive a woman for be-
ing as ugly as she is"
Another time I heard Dick re-
mark when another woman's
name was mentioned-a woman
who had been more than usually
successful In her chosen profess
sion. ooh, you know she gets
by because of her personality and
then she is so very good to look
at. AT the time he made me very
angry, but 1 guess after all he Is
right.
"I'm going to take Eliene into
my confidence and between us we
will make that Mr.. Holmes wake
up a little"-was my thought as l
listened to the gossip of those
two jealous women. And the
strange part of the whole thing
was the fact, which you could dis
Germ, without half trying-that
they were jealous because Holmes
had not tried to flirt with them.
Oh, little book, little book, l
get so tired of the much Wanted
virtue of the interrupted woman.

CONFESSIONS
l. OF A WIFE


I have learned from the
woman at Eliene's party that
we are all alike - whether
we have an income of a
hundred thousand dollars a year
as does Eliene, or whether we are
living on the salary of a sargent
at the police desk as does Annie;
we have the same problems, the
same joys, the same sorrows.
And, we think that ours is the
greatest - the gravest trouble
when 1t is only the same old
trouble that is the canker spot of
all mankind-mistakes and mis-
understanding.
Before the men came l heard
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wilson
friends of Mrs. Holmes talking
together.
Said Mrs. Smith, who is one of
those catty women who always
think the worst OF any one, Il
cannot understand why Mary Jane
Holmes puts up with her hus-
band. He is SO stuck on himself
that he thinks he has only to smile
at a woman to make her eat out
of his hand, and he always has an
affair on with some woman.
WELL" said Mrs. Wilson, "the
women are just as bad. They are
all the while trying to flirt with
him. He never tried to flirt with
me-"
Il should say not, neither did
he try his arts on me-"
got around where / could see
the two women and smiled to my
self. Mrs. Smith was one of those
vinegar faced women with the
thin Tipped dropping mouth that
proclaims the nagger, and Mrs.
Wilson had face that looked as
though it had been carved out OF
walnut. Mrs. Holmes, on the
other hand, had a sweet face al
though it was a sad one. Evil
IDENTIFY she had once been a
beauty.
How | wanted to go over and
tell her not to give too much or
her thought and life to her hus-
band. | could see her, with her
pretty hair curled about her face
and a stunning evening dress on
looking better than any woman
in the room with the exception
of Eliene.

than any of those upon whom he
bestows his lordly and somewhat
contemptous attentions.
It's no wonder, little book, that
we women try to look our best
and frantically attempt to ward
off the signs of age. Youth and
beauty are the only things about
us that seem to interest men, and
men no matter what we say, are
our greatest interest in life.

No less a publication than the Outlook arises

several colleagues for yielding to frightful-

The Outlook takes the east side senator Sc
verely to task for siding with those who would
waive the rights of Americans to travel abroad,
and intimates that the Yakima man possesses a
streak Of yellow which has impelled him to this
attitude.

THE MOVIES AND CHURCH
SERVICES

At Elk River, acceding to the de-
mands of the citizens, the council
passed a permit to the proprietor OF
the moving picture theater to exhibit
his films at any hours that did not
conflict with regular church serv-
ices" Now the Christian Endeavor
society which meets before the reg
uIar evening service is trying to get
itself legally defined as regular

petition for attendance may not wax

exercises knew enough to make them
interesting, they would not have to go
to law to shut everything but their

in which they feel no interest and OF
which perhaps they do not approve.

ATHLETICS TO BE SHARED BY
BOYS AND GIRLS

Because the officials believe in 'the
ethical value of boy-and-girl comrade-
ship in sports and athletics" the Ma
tional Y. w. c. A. and the National Y
M. c. A. are considering a co-opera-
tive and competitive system of physic-
al culture in which boys and girls will
have an equal share. Such a scheme
rightly planned as to details and skill
fully carried out ought to go great
way toward curing some of the senti-
mental ills which are often a serious
blemish in high-school life.
Girls are generally pretty poor
there. is a strong tedency to reduce
the part the girls take in athletics to
an absolute minimum. 1t is hard for
girls (unless they are educated in
girls colleges where the discipline is
stiff and the responsibilities and hon
ors are all divided among girls to
carry on contests without prejudice
and high feeling. Most girls take de-
feat rather badly. A spirit of true
craftsmanship will be valuable adj
sdition to the virtues of the high-school :
girl
In its effect upon their social rela-
lions both boys and girls should bene-
fit. Mingling in systematic outdoor
sports, boys and girls will discover
that their attitude to one another will
inevitably grow more sensible, more
free from insincerity, false emotion,
and the excitement which is founded
ON mystery, strangeness, and restraint.

This is the season of the year when
the south Idaho press begins to re-
mind the north that there is no north
and south in Idaho, that it is all one
state, that any division for political
purposes is impractical, unjust. and
unworthy. This is to say that Idaho
is all one, indeed, it is all south. For
now we begin to speak of governors,
senators, congressman, and stitch.
This is the time of the year when it is
vicious on the part of the northern
press to stir up sectional feeling.

THE PASSING OF A MULE

| From the Louisville Courier Journal,
 The Vine Grove Sentinel's touching ac-
 count of the "untimely death" of Uncle
 Jack Hintons favorite mule, which passed away at the end of it's thirty eighth year l of life and thirty-sixth year of service, calls attention to the value of the health | iest heartiest and most useful of all
 beasts of draught and burden The mule is singularly free from the ills to which horsehesh is heir. He has more days
 work in him in 365 consecutive days than any farm animal or farm engine. He re- quires less feed when at work than any horse that can approach his capacity, for when he is idle he can forage success fully where the draft horse finds the pick lngs too slim. He takes pot luck with any owner cheerfully and keeps fit upon it. In peace the mule is mans most faith ful servant, although the gentlest of his kind is not entirely free from original sin and the oldest may experience unac- countable sporadic outbreaks of devil ment.
 In war the mule retains his character as hard toiler, a good scout and homely figure about whom the poets and painters at the front do not grow enthu- siastic. Although he is unsung when liv- ing and not greatly honored, he is not un- wept when, at 30 or beyond he lies down. signs peacefully rather than regretfully and gives up his Spartan spirit.
 If there is hereafter for animals the
 mules paradise is series of Elysian fields with fences that only good jum- per can clear, with colts to chase, with something alive, and preferably two- legged, to kick, and with plenty of rough, plain victuals and a few goats to play
 with in sportive moods, and negro drivers not brutal, yet not too indulgent, for human companionship.
 To such a paradise let us hope Uncle Jack" Hinston's 3S-year-old has gone.

A Notable Age-Herald Story

For Alabamians the letters of Miss Elizabeth Shelley in yesterdays Age Herald were the most graphic and stirring portrayal of conditions Tn Servia that has reached America since the Teutonic invasion.
 Here is presented a daughter of one of Alabama's great sons who heroical- ly volunteered for service as nurse in the stricken country. For weeks no word came from her and her friends feared she had been lost. Then comes a letter. It is written plainly and simply, but what could bring home to Alabamians the actual horrors of war more intimately than this unaffected recital of her daily duties as war nurse by an Alabama girl?
 People of the south are accustomed to look to The Age-Herald for such matters of interest.
 Yesterdays Age-Herald contained b51 advertisements, occupying 2521 inches of space.
 The Rotogravure Section is the only feature of it's kind published by a snuthern newspaper.
