"FIREs-OF-SPRING" MADNESS.

Der Of his inner consciousness by
one Of those dashing, poster eff
fects, depicting a middle-aged
charmer, suave, subtle, and ire
siStible, then prepare to definitely
abandon your peace of mind.
For middle aged men, once they
have formed a taste for seeing
themselves in this posterish guise,
never go back to the respectable
oil portrait ideal with the wife,
children and home as agreeable ac-
cessories in the background.
Next to destroying fathers faith
in his portrait, the most fatal form
of indoor sport for mother to in
dulge in is unfOunded accusations
regarding some woman with whom
father may have chatted for few
minutes regarding the lawn mower,
or something else equally vital.
The Champion a Dangerous Role.
Many a woman's jealousy of a
prettier woman has merely called
her husbands attention to the
lady's good looks. And in the act
OF defending her from his wife's
absurd jealousy, he has made him
self the other woman's champion
rather a dangerous role for a
sorely badgered husband.

The average man, in the role Of
pater familias, paints q portrait
of himself and hangs it in the

So whatever you do, do not de-

Pater familias' belief in himself

with romance and philandering,
must not be disturbed. Let it be

Dear Sir-WiIl you do favor for an IrshAmeri-

pictures that enclose from the famous London period
ica Punch, which is a sort of comic national insti-
tuition
The pictures are printed under the word Evolu-
ton And, as you see, they represent the youth and
the old age of two typical Britishers These pictures
also show why it is that rshmen object to being gov
erned by Englishmen
You see first the half-baked English boys, perfect
ly pleased with themselves, conceited beyond human
belief
Next one is a sailor and the other soldier. And
neither has much thought about anything except the
cut Of his uniform or the brand of his cigarette
Third you see them in their old age one suffering
from too much port wine the other from too much bile
Each looks back upon his perfectly thoughtess and
important career glorious achievement And each
undoubtedly you see them the picture denouncing
the impairment Irish, because they demand the right
to govern themselves and be ruled by this type of
human (f) being.
These are pictures made by an Englishman, not by
Hishman. They are typical of the kind of that
England is producing the kind of man that rules the
Irish, the kind of that the Irish hate and will get

father does converse brilliantly
about the lawn mower or the prun-

to meet do not act as if they were

really looking for is an Esr into
which he may pour the knowledge
and eloquence he has culled from
a choice assortment of hardware
catalogues, he contemplates in
vesting in a new lawn mower,
hence his impassioned speech to a
brand new audience.
Furthermore, this continual
worrying about Father and his
possible romantic Ipheavals con-
vinces him that he is still a devil
of a fellow, and inspires him to
try out these qualities with which
his wife so generously endows
him. He invests in clothes Of
more youthful cut, his socks, ties,

and not infrequently, a flower in
his buttonhOle, proelaims the new
faith in his powers to fascinate.
He May Meet . Lady.
Father thus appareled, may
flash across the horizon of a lady
who has just dropped a dollar at
the fortune teller's. and who may
be on the still hunt for the dark
gentleman turning q bit gray
that means the love of your life,
ma'am."
Anything, indeed, may happen
to Father if you persist in raising
these mad fancies, in his con-
seriousness regarding his fascina-
tons, and the power he has over
women. Especially, if he begins to
dramatize his belief in these
things with new suits, socks, ties,
and a straw hat with a colored
ribbon. Rename Father a Lothario
and he will set up the stage prop
critics, regardless of the expense.
Akin to the folly of inspiring him
with belief in his almost demon
iacll powers of fascination, is the
folly of watching every breath he
draws, making him prove an alibi
for every hour, opening his let
tiers and demanding a strict &C
counting of every one who calls
up on the telephone.
You are only pitting pater famil-
las wits against yours, the whole
sorry business becomes a game in
which each plays to win. A jeal-
GUS woman ignores one of the
great basic laws of human nature.
and that is, we all hunger and
thirst after forbidden fruit.
You have only to look about you.
and see the extent to- which tenn
perate men are making provision
against the coming national drought
to realize the truth Of this. We
never think of walking on the
grass till the policeman puts up
the sign. Nor is there any way OF
preventing a tendency to philander,
on the part Of a husband, so sure
and effective as for a wife to ac-
cept as natural and normal his lit
