Those who Have Had.-2.


And II you want a wife who will be
willing to spend the evening quietly at
home with you, instead of dragging
you forth, after a hard days work. to
fox trot at cabarets until you are ready
to drop with fatigue. marry a girl who
has had a whirlwind time in society
for about four years. She will be so
tired Of gadding about, she will be so
fed up on balls and restaurants, she
will be SO satiated with theaters that
she will be glad and thankful to sit
down by her own library table and
reading lamp and never bulge from it.
But If you marry a girl who has
never had any parties or theaters and
whose feet simply ache to dance, she
will be crazy for all the amusements
and pleasures that she has never had.
'She makes the kind Of a wife who
spends her afternoons at bridge par
ties and matinees and stops in at a
delicateSsen store as she comes home
to buy something in paper bag to
feed her family on. She leaves the
| baby in charge of the janitor's wife
while she goes off to q tea dance. She
is never happy one single instant when
she isn't on the go, and she regards
home as merely q place to come to
when everywhere else is shut up.

1t is proposed to tax automobiles for
the purpose of raising a good roads
fund. Then why not tax all other
vehicles as well for the same purpose?
Why single out the motor car and
make it bear the burden? The auto
has become a shining mark for the
tax gatherer. One of the greatest
drawbacks to the construction of good
roads is that while everybody wants
them. nearly all appear to want some-
body else to pay for them.
