she wants done and say nothing, she
will step up to him and in an under
tone make the request that he go
in and find her husband and deliver
her message. If he is the right kind
of a man he will respond promptly
and never peep about it. II he has
any of the yellow streak he will
make remarks about it some time.
There are two kinds of men who
are sent for in this way. One kind
does not receive the message kindly
nor seriously nor with any respect
for the sender or the person who de-
livered it. The other kind says "All
right" and looks for the quickest
way to finish the game and then
joins his popular wife. Neither kind
ever says, Thank you," to the man
bringing the message. Grille, you
can't tell such man by looking at
him. You have to study the little
things that reveal his nature.
But they are not all of that kind.
Not very long ago We editor saw q
pleasing case. Coming along the
street, we caught young woman's
eye and noticed the anxiety and look
of uneasiness as she stood by the
curb. An almost appealing glance
made us pause with hat in hand and
say, Have you lost track Of some
body?" She made the request, "Go
in and tell him his wife is waiting
to go home" Not knowing him by
sight we went in and made respect
full inquiry till we found him, de-
livered the message, and he said,
Tell her I'll be out just as quick
as we finish this game" And he
seemed so sincere and SO anxious,
we knew it was only out of respect
for the other fellows in the game
that he even stayed to finish. He join
ed that popular lady in few minutes
with the air of a fellow who had in
dulged his one desire and was CRATE
full to have finished the game. He
was ready to 60 home and work now
and carry wood and water and do all
the things good husband should.
Gfrfs, there is something about a
man that you've got to accept along
with the rest, and make the best of
it. If it is booze you had better pass
him up. If it is billiards or base
ball or horse races or long sittings
with the men talking of sports, 1t
isn't necessary that you try to make
him over Not many men are as
companionable with their wives as
the wives would like to have them.
A man has a certain amount of the
dickens in him and when he is made
perfect he Immediately becomes an
angel, and then you don't have. any
chance to propose to him. II. you
decide to marry a man, take him as
he is and make the most of his good
traits and humor him in the least
offensive of his bad ones. If he
smokes don't try to stop him for it
will only make trouble because he
won't stay put. Better put soft
cushion in his smoking chair, be-
deck the floor with foot stool, a
pair of slippers and cuspidor and
help him to the feeling that that is
the best place on earth to smoke.
If he likes to read little before
retiring, do your level best to give
him few minutes absolute uninter-
rupted reading space. Have the
papers there ready for him and If
he shows irritation at being talked
to at that time, save your remarks
if possible and let him know after
wards that you were anxious to talk
to him but that you didn't want to
interrupt him. He will come to ap-
preciate that and will soon be plan
ming to have little time to talk
with you. You have to adapt your
selves to each other, and how can
you do that until you come to know
what each wants! Certainly, wo-
man wants to talk, and as certainly
man wants to read or think: Don't
let that little matter maze your mar
riage a failure. Girls, when you hear
your elders berating men, just make
