Of course hysterical ex- cftement still reigns everywhere, especi- ally among the women and troops who had been waiting to go across But, undoubtedly the feeling of relief is min gled with a certain amount of almost inevitable strain and a great many of us feel rather like a bit of elastic from which all the snap has departed.

7 S7 AVE you little husband in
 I your home? If so. hearken Jl unto this story:
 Few of us were aware un- til short time ago that in our midst there are men striving for what is known as "The Perfect Husband Belt the same being offered, it appears, by some benevolent protective order of something--the Daughters of Re bAkah.o "The Sisters of zion," "The Ancient Band of Spinsters' orwell, no matter, the belt was nearly captured by a husband the other day who prided himself upon his "modeF' existence during the % years of his married life; but, he made one slip in the perfect system, however; he presented his wife with a pair of-no-not what you are thinking about-but pair of pink satin slippers and her eye of suspicion was straight away set upon him.
 "Oh, ho?' said she, chuekling jubilant- 1y, "and where did you ever see fairy things for the feet like that?"
 The candidate for "The Perfect Hus- band Belt" was at loss for words he was confused.
 "oh, hor' she cried, waxing happy; "T see it all now; you've learned this pretty shoe trick from other women; you've been pussy-footing around at those The Dansants' unheknown to me"
 q don't know what you mean" pleaded the candidate for "The Perfect Husband Belt" pathetically. q wouldn't know a The Dansant from Church sociable,' and I never danced a step in my life"
 "Of course, not" shouted friend wife. "Certainly not, with mel You've sub- jected me to a cruel and lonely life, while you've been flirting and carrying on and making yourself ridiculous with other women. You know this is true; I know it all now; l feel it."

 There's the 'My-Darling-I-was de- tained- -at-the- office variety; they are the hard worked type;a somebody is always making them stay out nights Ion business away from their dear littls wee wife"-the horrid brutes! When it comes to making up yarns, the f1ction- ists have nothing on them, believe ne! There's the temperamentaI variety: everything gets on their nerves; no one understands them; they are continually discovering soul mates" and some new occult faith" and they always suffer from indigestion. There's the variety that you can't sec for the life of you how they can have such an exquisite appreciation of art and yet can do the things they do with | their knives and forks.

 There's the conceited variety, standing before the mirror "primping' like a de- butante and thinking that every woman he sees is crazy about him. There's the jealous variety, who, if his wife even so much as glances at a man sideways declares she is getting ready to elope with him.

 There's the cadaverous, white-corpus cled variety, that has a penchant for "uplift;" they are always "speechify- ing" before the purity squad for the prevention of wayward morals and the walls of their offices are hung and papered with bits of scriptural quota tions; they ofttimes are superintendents of the Sunday schools and play with great gusto the role of Shepherd of the lambs: their wives in consequence seek solace in Baccarat. Bacardi and Bordelle; they further seek the Lethe Of forgetfulness in French novels and Toofani cigarettes and you can't blame them.
 There's the artistic variety that wears its hair cut long and big volum- inous trousers, baggy and fulsome, and that murmurs in ,euphonious language things about "the structure of their souls" they read Browning and Tagore and get their picture in the newspapers and magazines.
