It is becoming more or less rare to
hear of an ideally happy marriage.

that, although love is easy to gain, 1t
requires tact and care on q woman q

So many girls think that, directly
the wedding ring is actually their own
they need no longer trouble them
selves to be as charming to their bus

The girl who wants to become
thoroughly happy wife. loving and be-

The other day, having mislaid or lost
his solace of his resting hours, he
called his boy-of-all-work and said:
"Josh, go to the grocery and get me
a cob pipe Well, get two while you're
at it and pick out good ones
AS Josh came out of the grocery
with the pipes in his hand, he was
hailed by a group of acquaintances:
Hello, Josh. where did you get them
pipes?"

"Sent y fur two"
"Yep"
