Dorothy Dix Talks
Are You One of These?-1.
N DOROTHY DIX
Worlds highest Paid Woman WEisaZ.

Now there be five varieties of the
female bore, each more deadly than
the other.
The first is the Woman Who Has
Seen Better Days. You meet her
everywhere, but she chiefly abounds
in business offices and boarding
houses Within five minutes of your
first meeting with her, she has told
you that she never expected to come
to THIS. and after you have known
her twenty five years, she is still tell
ing you the same thing.
She is a photograph with one rec
ord, and it never occurs TO her that
no human being except herself cares
a tinker's dam about her pedigree, or
the riches her family used to have,
or is interested in any has been"
stuff. All We care for is the now
present.
The Woman Who Has Seen Better
Days never learns to do her work
properly, because she thinks that
would put her on a level with the
plebeian woman who is having her best
days in earning a good salary. Ana
If she keeps boarders, she feels that
you should not object to the coffee
being as weak as dishwater. because It
is poured out of Great Grandmother s
silver coffee pot About which, and
the spIendor in which she was reared,
she crates endlessly.
The second among bores is the Wo-
man Who Tells You Her Troubles. She
keeps her tears on tap, and turns them
on at every opportunity. She comes
to see you and weeps on your breast
until you are sodden with salt water.
She is like some uncanny bird that
lives by feasting on its own heart and
she forces you to partake of her
hideous meal.
She tells you tales of the horrible
brutality with which her husband
treats her, but she goes on living with
him. She relates piteous stories of
her children's ingratitude, but she
continues to cherish them. She be-
walls her proverty. She laments her
bad luck. She bemoans her i'll health.
She is on a perpetual orgy of melan-
choiy, and she forces everyone who
knows her to drink of her cup Of sor-
row, and she is never so happy as
when she has cast a wet blanket over
any festive occasion. and made every
body present long for a dose of
cyanide of potass
The third greatest among bores is
the Woman Who Pretends To Be
Young.
She's a kittenish little thing of some
fifty odd summers and heaven knows
how many winters, but she sets the
clock back every year. lays a heavier
hand on the rouge pot and the hair
dye bottle. She giggles and shippers,
and shimmies, tho you can hear her
poor old bones crealdng S she dances,
and she says I'VE girls" and leases
herself about men young enough to
be her grandsons-

WHEN Ma WANTS SOMETHING NEW.
BY EDGAR a. GUEST.

WHEN MA WANTS SOMEId1NO NEW.
Last night Ma said to Pa: MY dear,
The WilliamSOnS are coming here
To visit for a week or two
An l must have a talk with you.
We need some things which we must get
You promised me dinner set.
An ] should like it while they're here"
An Pa looked up an said: My dear,
A dinner set: Well, I guess not
What's happened to the one we've gotg"
1--WE need a parlor rug" says Ma,
I'VE got a parlor rug" says Pa.
We ought to have another chair"
You're sittin' in a good one there"
The parlor curtains are fright.
when these are washed they look all
right
THE old stuffs pitiful TO see"
1T still looks mighty good to me-"
The sofas worn beyond repair.
1T doesn't look so bad, 1 swear"
Gee whiz; you make me tired" says Ma.
Why, what's the matter now:" says Pa
You come an go an never see
How old our stuff has grown to be;
1t still looks just the same to you
AS what it did when 1t was new.
An every time you think 1t strange
That I should like to have change
I'm gettin' old" says Pa. Maybe
You'd Ike younger man than me"
IF this old rug was worn an thin
At night you'd still come walkin' in
An throw your hat upon a chair
An never see a single tear;
So long any chair could stand
An bear your weight you'd think it grand.
II home depended all on you,
It never would get something new"
All right" says Pa Go buy the stuff.
But say. am I still good enoughz"

Senator Harding promises that If
elected he will serve notice on the
world that the lives and property of
American citizens must be respected.
Evidently he had Mexico in mind.
But Mexico has received many such
notices and. up to this time has paid no
attention to them. 1t might be worth
while for the senator to be more ex-
plicit What would he do in case Mex
leo refused to salute our flag when
commanded to do so? Would he take
Vera Cruz and later abandon it, as did
President Wilson; or would he take it
and proceed to administer the affairs
Of the country?
