to discover that the cost of high living cost of living. l Sometimes a wife is discontented be- cause her husband is so easy to get along with that it is no fun to get along with him. | We can't understand how a ladies' tailor ever managed to get corn-fed | girl to agree to order a skirt made out of broadcloth. 1 Of course it is none of our business, but it sems to us that the man who has buried four wives and is married to a fifth when he dies and meets them all in heaven.
 Most of us waste lot of perfectly good energy trying to find out things that we really do not want to know.
 Why is 1T that we get the most pleas ure out of doing the things that we cant afford to do?
 We have knocked around the world some. And we have always found that the man who has no enemies has mighty few friends.
 A good wife will always try to share her husbands troubles, because if she hadn't married him he wouldn't have them.
 No wonder the Suffs are anxious to get into Congress, where you can get big salary for doing nothing but talking all day. When a hustler can't find an oppor- tunity he doesn't sit down and wait. He gets busy and makes one.
 It is happy husband whose earning capacity can keep pace with his wifes yearning capacity.
 When a man fails at everything else ne can always sit down and write book on how to succeed and the boobs will buy it. A bride always likes to display her other gifts to her husband. But she always conceals her gift of gab until the honeymoon is over. Whether you are in business or poli- iics you should always remember that persistent advertising will make any man great.
