We credit those responsible for the

no other drama in which a father was

stage device which permits the heroine
to sob her sweet sorrow upon her own

gesture but that it is also an effective

Not that it is realistic note, Far
from it. 1t is melodrafila pure and

The legion, like the G. A. R., was or
sanized to perpetuate the associations
and friendships formed in the Amerl-
can army during the World War, and
1t would be a mistake to subject the
organization to the possibility of in
formal troubles and even dissolution
because of factional controversies In
its ranks. The ex-soldiers can be ae-

Worid's Highest Paid Woman Wrisez.

ARG You Good Husband ?-f.
Do you want to know whether you
are good husband or not? Do you
often wonder, when your wife kneels
down to say her prayers at Anight.
whether She is thanking God for~fav-
ing bestowed you upon her as a life
partner, OF beseeching the Lord to give
her grace and strength to endure you
If you do, check yourself by these
points:
De you treat your wife with the
courtesy and consideration that you
show to any strange woman whom
| you happen to meet at dinner party ?
| You have Nuite a reputation among
| the ladies for being gallant and ehiv-
alreus. Do you keep that line ofkcen.
duct for society ar do you. hand II out
also at home2
Do you remember your wife's birth
| day. and the anniversary of your mar
| riage, without having to be reminded
| of these august occasions? And when
| you are reminded, do you throw few
dollars int her lap and tell her to get
| something for present, for you don t
know what she wants? Before you
were married, you thought her little
fancies important enough to recollect
| De you occasionally bring her a bunch
| of vieless, or a box Of candy, or the
book She has Said she would like to
read. just to show her that you are
thinking of her?
| Women put an absurd valuation on
| little attentions, and a very few OF
| them planted along the matrimonial
road make it a primrose path to a We
man, instead of a track thru an arid
| desert.
How do you talk to your wife? Dc
| you speak to her in a manner thai
| you would not dare to use to man OF
your own size and weight? Do you
| sheer at her opinions and tell her
| that she doesn't know what she is
talking about and call her a fool? Dc
you yawn in the midst of her stories
and remind her that they are ancient
! ehestnuts and that she always misses
| the point of a joke, anyhow?
Dc you knock everything that she
does. and enlarge with brutal candol
on. her faults and weaknesses?
Do you cease telling her that you
loved her on your honeymoon, and
has it been years and years since yor
showed her the least particle of af-
feGtion, OF gave any visible sign thai
you cared for her?
| Women d3n't shed their sweet teott

band ten times as much as she die
from her sweetheart. When she wa:
a girl there were plenty of men to pa1
/ her compliments and make love tt
her, but marriage narrows her visible
supply of sentimental bonbons dowr
to one possible giver, and if he with.
holds them, he starTes her heart t.
1 death.
Do you ever show your wife any ap
probation? The life of the average
married woman is a life sentence a
hard labor with mighty little pay! 1
is one never ending round of cooking
and washing, and cleaning, and sew
ing, and sick nursing. and baby tend
ing, and-scrimping and saving, anC
the only thing in the world that car
make it worth while is for her hus

and that he is grateful to her for al
that she does for him and his.

for Starr and he was found about
the streets as usual and when asked
about the matter denied having TAX

being brought up ION the. carpet
the young man finally admitted that
he had taken the car but only with

his labours but Of course this does
not excuse him for his act of last

taking the car and "getting away
