Made Fun of Their Husbands

The Woman's Club proved true to
its name on Tuesday evening by the
manner in which they used it on their
husbands in the lecture room of st.
PauFs Church. Mrs. Caudels private
curtain lectures do not compare with
the way they told how their husbands
kept house while they We're away.
Women always have great imagina-
tons from childhood about men, and
can see dirt where there is none. One
went so far as to say her husband
dyed his hair green and looked like a
cabbage head. She failed to tell he
did it because she is so fond of lettuce,
really love it. Another was accused
of having coolies and bottles in his
sockets. That turned out to be be-
cause they like men who "a skip live
~ and carry perfulnery.
For the benefit Of the wives who
found such great disorder when they
returned home, we give the eXplana-
ton that they need healthful exercises
after getting home. Another is that
the eXaggerations were made to cover
up their hilarious diversions when
away.
However, after making all manner
of Jun of the men present and absent
they continued 70 use their old tricks OF
winning their hearts thru their stom-
achs, by treating them to ice cream,
cake and coffee at the close.

The irresistible conclusion from

account for the strength Of the market
in the face Of developments that not
long since would have been certain to
produce lower prices. If not a severe

there was heavy selling, but that served

Large Office Building
Tow York Tribune. 1nc.) }

With net sales for 1919 aggregating
$o2 ,235, ,945, Or g. decrease of $9, ,l03 III
from the preceding year, the Barrett
Company reports net profits for the
year after all charges and Federal
taxes Of $2,232,98s, equivalent after
$o46,o6o in preferred dividends of $1O.25
share, $500 par, earned on the s1s,-
with $3,947,7 ,7s8, or $20.82 share earned
1918. SWIM -
The cost Of selling the company's
products last year was $27 7,058,9S1,
leaving gross profit Of $5,176,966. To
this was added $2,35S .82e other income.
bringing the total net earnings up to
$3.50. .7so, Or $3,e19,745 less than in
the preceding year. Federal taxes and
general expenses absorbed $5,3O7 ,995
ot the net earnings, against 1890, ,750
IN the year before. After other charges,
including. interest, etc., balance ap-
plicable for dividends was s2.232. .e88.
Preferred stockholders shared S546,-
655 in dividends, while the holders Of
the common stock received $1,809. 1874,
leaving a $376,193 surplus, a sl.719556
decline from 1918.
William H. Childs, president, in his
report to stockholders, said: "The
winter and spring Of 1919 were excep-
tIonally dull and disappointing seasons
owing to the general readjustment Of
the business from a war to peace
basis. The first six months of the
year, instead Of showing normal
profit, showed slight loss, so that the
net profit made for the year 1919 was
al made between July and December
81.
"The earnings for January, 1920.
were the largest of any January in
the history Of the company, and to-
gether with large number of untitled
orders on our books and innumerable
inquiries for our goods. indicate an
earning for the year 1920 that will be
very satisfactory.
Owing to the impossibility Of secur-
ing sufficient office space in the next
few years, this company, in coniunc-
ion with one or two others, has de-
cided to build sixteen-story office
building. We do not anticipate that
this building will require any large
amount Of cash capital to be taken
from the assets of the company. aud
the amount necessary will be provided
for through the sales Of investment
securities now in the treasury. This
arrangement will net the company
very material saving over a term Of
ten years. and it will also give the
necessary and proper quarters for
company of its standing"
