away with her job. He knows he
could not run his business IL he could
get no more efficient help than his
wife had, and he feels that she should
be made Secretary of the Treasury
for getting the result she does out OF
her measly little chicken feed Of an
allowance. And how she has ever
kept out Of the insane asylum with
the baby bowling, and the children
fighting. and that incessant call for
Mo-o-o-ther. Is more than he can
understand.
The only woman who ever got the
mans side Of the proposition of life
arc the wives who were business woln-
en- In their girlhoods. They know
from experience that the lot of the
average business man is not all beer
and skittles. as the domestic wife
paints 1t, but that 1t IL q battle In
which he fights a life and death strug-
gle for his family. She knows Of the
anxieties that tear his nerves to tat
tiers; OF the labor that exhausts him
soul and body. She knows that every
dollar that he makes Is stained with
his life blood. She knows of the sacri-
fees that he offers up to keep those be
loves safe and warm in the shelter Of
home.
Therefore. the wife who has been a
business woman is almost invariably
economical and thrifty, and spends
carefully the money that her husband
has earned at SO great q price. Also
she considers her husband In Q thou
sand little ways that the woman who
has never done a mans work herself
never shows to her husband.
She does not lay upon him her own
burdens. because she knows that he
Is already staggering along under all
the load he can carry. She does not
resent every impatient speech. because
she remembers times when her own
nerves were raw. and every word
bruised them like a blow. Nor does
she expect her husband to trot around
with her to places of amusement in
the evening, because she, too. has
been 80 weary after a grinding day at
ONCE or store that all she asked in
the world was just a chance to flop
down on q couch and relax.
OF course. It 10 impractical for hus-
bands and wives really to exchange
Jobs. but 1t does seem as IL their
imagination might enable them to put
themselves in each others places. and
! so get a realization Of how hard life
is on the other. Surely that would
give them more patience with each
other. and make them have more pity
and understanding Of what the other
must endure.

berry shortcake one I'll give you a
piece"
"oh, joy and happiness cried
Toodle, Shaping his tail down on
the snow until it sounded like a
drumstick beating a piece of carpet.
So Uncle Wiggily and the beaver
boy went to the store, and each
bought a can of tomatoes. They
were carrying them home under
their paws when they saw the Skee-
hicks chasing them. after Uncle
Wiggily's souse.
Then Uncle Wiggily and Toodle
ran up the hill, with their cans OF
tomatoes under their paws. But as
FAST as they ran the Skeezicks ran
faster. and when Uncle wiggily and
the beaver boy reached the top of
the Mill the bad chap was half way
up and still coming on.
Then Toodle rolled his big can
OF tomatoes down the hill. Along
1t rolled. faster and faster, over ana
over. And the Skeezicks was COM
ing up the hill, and the can of to-
matoes. which Toodle had set roll
ing. was Tipping itself down the
MIL. and-and-and-all of a sud-
den the beaver boys can of toma-
toes hit the Skeezicks right on the
END or his sharp and pointed nose.
and broke all to pieces-I mean the
can OF tomatoes broke open, and the
red taice splattered all over the bad
chap.
20, dear me! Oh dear metz cried
the Skeezicks. IT must have the
toothache" and he quickly turned
around and ran, back down the hill
ana he didn't chase Tootle any
more that day. nor did he get any
OF Uncle Wiggily's souse.
And because Toodle had saved
Uncle Wiggily from the SkeezicKA
the bunny gentleman bought an
other can of tomatoes for the beav-
er boy, 50 Mrs. Flat-Tail had soup
after all. And when Nurse Jane
baked the strawberry shortcake pie,
Toodle had q large slice.
So II the dentist doesn't pull the
cork out of the. molasses jug, and
let the goldfish run and hide in the
canary birds cage, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and Noodles

The chief reason why there Is so

always been a woman, and neither
one has any understanding of the

the nerve to even mention his work

And there you are. Each one be-
lieves that he or she got the hot
end OF the matrimonial bargain. and
that life is a perpetual picnic to the

1t is because husbands and wives do
not understand what the other one
goes through that they complain Of
each other, instead of pity each other.
