Prussan autocrats are going to try little of their
famous chicane upon their own folks, and we guess
that it will work folks who will stand for Prus
sian autocracy.
There is unrest among the plain people of Ger
many and so the imperial government has agreed to
reduce prices of food and pay the difference out of
government funds. That is, the German will sub

lower prices to him and pay the difference out Of
jmoneys it got from him.
Then the German gets down on his knees and
IMorships the kind-hearted government that is al

overlook his bounds and posi-
bly, discuss with her ways and
means of making her burdens
a little lighter. Then Is when
she becomes indignant-and
writes to you that men are
awful and "horrid."
Her Excuse.
Many times | have had to do
little things in order to make
my salary stretch little far
ther, but when l asked for a
raise, the excuse I gave for ask
ing for it was not the high cost
of living, but that I was doing
better work and more. l saw
to it that / was punctual, neat
and taking an interest In all
that I did.
I believe that II the woman
working out for any man will
follow my rule, discuss nothing
but business, and see that he
does the same, her difficulties
will be lessened decidedly.
When a man knows that his
stenographer's little boy needs
shoes thru her telling him, he
might possibly try to find way
to provide those shoes, while If
he knew nothing Of 1t, he wouN
have nothing to offer as an ex-
cuse for his advances, and as l
said once before, men are such
towards they must have an ex-
cuse to work on.

Dear Miss Grey: Will you
please help a puzzled mother?
My youngest daughter is at
tending high school, where
many of her girl friends, from
16 to 10 years Of ago make 1t
a practice of inviting their boy
friends to dances and ga1Aer-
ings of various kinds, when
these same boys do not extend
any courtesy to the girls.
The mothers of these girls
known Of their custom and ex-
cuse 1t by saying their daugh-
tiers are "just girls" l was
taught and try to teach my
daughters that 1t is the privilege
of boys to ask for their girl
company, and for girls to ac-
cept or reject.
Am I old-fashioned, or is it
an accepted custom of this adj
vanced age?
