quickly took their places at the stern
and two sides of the boat They
pressed close against the boat and
began to swim. The boat moved off
slowly, gathering speed as 1t went.
The ferryman told the Rambler that
he had trained the fish to run his
boat for him and 1t was a great saw
ing as he did not have to use man
or horse or engine power In the
middle of the river the Rambler saw
trickle of water come into the boat
and 1t began to fill quickly. 1t was
apparent that the boat was going to
sink, and sink quickly. The Rambler
could not swim, at that time, and
neither could two of the other four
passengers. They were all fright
ened. The ferryman was also wor-
ried. But the catfish were onto their
jobs. They left the boat, formed
themselves into a raft, with their
backs close together and the Ram
bier and the other passengers were
able to ride ashor. on the backs OF
the fish, with their feet only little

The quality of the fish stories told
at the Tarpon club dinner, the other
evening was not up to the usual
mark. Salt water fishermen seem
to be poorer hands at lying than are
the freshwater sportsmen. Perhaps
one reason is that the fishermen in
salt water, at st. Petersburg for in

that are true that they lose their

tby LUCILLE II. oulltHJ
She was very unhappy. Her heart
was full to overlooking and she had to
confide in someone so she told her
troubles to-Someone. To begin at
the beginning. she was one of these
droopy little women. the clinging vine
sort, just the kind that men folk are
said to adore. but umpty 'leven years
of married life and several children
had taken the bloom out of her cheeks
and she had also allowed 1t to take
most of her Joy out of life. She has a
pretty home and she keeps 1t in ap-
lple-pie order. She is wrapped up in
her children-in fact to such an extent
that she has but little interest in the
personal or business affairs Of her hus-
band, or the doings of the big out
side world. She never goes any place
and her life is as drab and colorless
as her cheeks.
And yesterday was Blue Monday
with her. Everything had gone wrong
but the greatest of all her griefs was
some real or fancied slight on the part
Of friend husband. He was neglect
ing her: stayed away from home more
and more. and when he did stay home
-, his conversation was prefunctory-
and he smoked all the time in an
absent sort of way as though his
thoughts were a million miles distant
And that spectre that nine wives out
Of ten see at some time or other In
their married lives was stalking in
her brain-the other woman! She
had simply lost her grip on things,
had allowed the tendrils that held his
heart and his heart interest to loosen,
and she imagined that he didn't love
her any more. Boo hoo!
And then she got a piece of advice
that she didn't like abit. First of all,
Miss Someone pictured her husband
as a brute who wouldn't give her a
maid; he fused II she spent a dollar
on a new hat and nagged If she went
to an aid meeting in the afternoon.
No indeed! she'd have Someone un-
derstand that her husband wanted her
to have a girl, two of them IL she
needed them; and he wanted her to
go, he had said so repeatedly. And as
for clothes, Why, she could spend
every dollar he earned on pretty
things IL she wanted to, II she'd only
perk mp and be her old sweet self,
the woman he had taken to be his
helpmate, not his drudge!
Powder and Rouge7 NeverI
She walled because her looks were
gone. Yet her brown hair was soft
and glorious and her eyes though they
lacked lustre. were big and brown and
soft. Miss Someone suggested tiny
bit of rouge and round of powder
until nature should restore the natur
al bloom; a pretty dress or two and q
revival of interest. But Miss Some
one never got much further than the
mention of rogue. The poor neglec

to look bright and clipper when HE
comes home in the evening. Yes,
and there are actually some doormat
wives who obey these same benighted
and medieval husbands and go
through life with shiny noses and
yellow skins In their failure to realize
that man doesn't know what is good
for himself-let alone his wife.
/ And after being dutifully obedient,
and saving the dimes that should 60

facial messages. they wonder why
these same husbands don't make
fuss over them. but have an eye for
every pretty girl on the street with
the healthful glow of rouge on her
lips prettily rubylined.
Other wives who suffer with be-
nighted husbands have a secret little
cache for the trusty powder rag-and
they're not telling hubby all they
know.
Paraphrazing that famous line. "It
is better to lie a little than to be I'M
happy much" one might say ut is
better to deceive little than to be
unattractive much"
There Are Others!
You wont stand alone in your "sin,"
you know. All the famous women,
from Helen of Troy on down to our
own present galaxy of beauty, have
looked upon the rouge when 1t was
red.
In David Graham Phillips book,
,"Old Wives For New, the wife lost
her husbands affection by letting her
self go, getting sloppy and slovenly
But she won another by resorting to
these same little subterfuges that fea-
ture the powder puff and the rouge
stick.
Improve on Nature? Sure!
That old wheeze about not paint
ing the lily or gliding the rose has
been banished by our enterprising
florists with their emerald green car
nations, their mauve and salmon chry-
santhemums.
Who says you can't improve on ma
ture? When woods are overgrown,
don't forestry experts clear them out ?
And when land is barren and tree
less don't they plant seedlings?
| 1t is the duty of every woman to
look her best and because, when you
were young you won man by your
beauty, your wit. your vivacity, your
even temper, don't think you can
keep him without effort when all
those things have gone back on you!
You know that little saying Love is
of mans life thing apart; tbs WON
ans whole existence
You don't need to paint up like a
wooden Indian In front of a cigar
store. In fact, that's the very thing
you don't want to do, or you'll lose

dicious. Use your brain-and your
rouge stick-and remember that bit
