 The Mans Side of Married Life

 But I can tell you honestly that I have merely been amused by her. and that in my heart you remained the dearest woman on earth to me.
 If that is so. you ask. why did you permit this silly affair with Edith to develop? am trying to an- swer that implied question honestly. but I find it is very difficult. There is a certain sameness even in a very happy marriage.
 that It was flattering to find that there still was a woman who regard ed me as a man-not merely as your husband. It was almost like being young again.
 But that is all over. It is as dead as the dodo. and am proving it to you by telling you the whole ssory as truthfully and frankly as I am able.
 ''very humbly I ask you to forgive me and you can do so with the full and absolute knowledge that this foolish little escapade is the only one that will ever interrupt our married life.''
 No. that is not what I said It was what I imagined myself saying. but when the time came to put it into words my tongue rebelled. It may have been shame; it may hayA been simple cowardice. but I could not ut ter those syllables.
 On the contrary I heard myself say ing to Dot:
 Do you know I met George this morning and we walked down to 72d street before taking the subway"
 And she replied: I'm glad you got that exercise"
 Very soon I was to have reason to be sorry I had not taken that oc- casi n to tell Dot the truth. Gro be continued)

A Pleasant Surprise for Peter Rabbit
 All the morning while some one was fooling Old Jed Thumper, the cross old rabbit who thought he owned the Old Pasture, Peter Rabbit lay stretched out in the warm little summing bank which he had found, :, dreaming of soft, gentle eyes and of beautiful little footprints It was a dangerous place to so to sleep, be- cause at any time fierce MT. Cos ha xk might have come that way. and if he had and had found Peter Rab- bit asleep. why, that would have been the end of Peter and all the stores about him. But Peter did not go to sleep. You see, the summing bank was so warm and comfortable and he was so tired and had so little sleep for such long time. that in spite of all he could do he nodded and nodded and finally slipped off into dreamland,
 Peter slept a long time. for no one came to disturb him. It was past noon when he opened his eyes and blinked up at a jolly round. red MT. Sun For minute ne couldn't re- member where he was. When he did he sprang to his feet and hastily looked this way and that way.
 My graciousi" exclaimed Peter. My gracious. what d careless fellow I aml It's a wonder that Old Jed Thumper didn't find me asleep. My. but I'm hungry! Seems as if I have not had good square meal for a year"
 Peter stopped suddenly and began to wrinkle his nose. -Jmm." said he. If I didn't know better I should say there was a patch of sweet clover close by. Umm my. my. Am I really awake. or am I still dreaming? cer- tainly do smell sweet clover"
 Slowly Peter turned his head in the direction from which the delicious smell seemed to come. Then he whirled around and stared so hard as ever he could. his mouth gaping wide open in surprise. He blinked, rubbed his eyes, then blinked again. There could be no doubt about it; there on the edge of the summing 1. bank was neat little pile of sweet

In other days the seashore was a place where people went to swim. Those days apparently are past, for the beach has become as much a fashion parade ground as Fifth ave *ue.
 Beach capes, much in vogue this season, are one of the things that have brought a change to bathing scenery. They may be had in many designs and materials, taffeta with gay designs, soft woolly capes of knit materials, in all white or in black and white and lined with American beauty or jade green rub berized silk.

WHY GROW OLD?' \
 BIC HIT 1T RAMONA

Why Grow OId?," the funiest of comedy connections. is the new bill at the Ramona theater and in select ing this vehicle and putting Ed Red mond into their already popular cast. Brandon Brothers have hit the target right in the bulls eye" This is the first time that Phoenix playgoers have had an opportunity to see MT. Redmond in the tabloid variety of musical comedy, but that they had confidence in him and that they liked him was evidenced by the fact that the East Washington street playhouse was packed to capacity for three per- formances yesterday and the big au- diences laughed until the building al- most shook The play is ."tab." version of a three act comedy that was produced at the Elks last season but most of the absurdly funny sit nations and laugh provoking lines have been retained, causing the audi ence to laugh as much in one hour as they did before in two.
 The costuming is excellent and the chorus is showing a lot of pep and class" It adds much to the success of the entertainment The musical interpolations, and there are many. are the best that have been offered so far this season. Carolina Brunson in his latest song hit T Love the Land of Old Black Joe" was com pelled to respond to encores until he was almost exhausted. As a black face comedian. Carolina occuuies a suot by himself with Phoenix play goers. Another speciality that went big" with the audience was 'The Por tuguese, the Argentines and the Creeks sung by Jack Miller.
 Thera q Snacio1 fraat for the Ramona patrons this week and that is to see Bob Greer in a juvenile makeup. The ones who thought that Bob could do nothing but ec- centric comedy got a big surprise for he is just as funny and just as well liked without his peculiar makeup. The soft shoe dance of Greer and Arthur Jackson is one of the big hits of the show.
 'sWhy Grow Old?" will run to and including Wednesday night, with a special attraction of gift night" Tuesday. There will be an entire change of program Thursday.

when the cap of "dud' picked up
on the Camp Jackson artillery range,
accidently exploded. Mr.. Roberts
was brought to the Columbia hospital
Immediately after the accident where
physicians think that blood transfu-
sion may save his life.
The large projectile, which had
failed to explode when fired on the
camp range, had been carried to the
house nearly year ago and the cap
taken off. The boy, who was seated
beside his father on a bench near his
home, attempted to use the cap as
hammer to drive nail and evidently
struck the primer to set off the charge
of high explosive used as detona-
tor. The bench was completely de-
molished and the boy instantly killed,
his body being literally torn to pieces,
while Mr.. Roberts had his left. side
severely torn by the explosion, his left
arm lacerated and his right hand
painfully cut.

WATERMELON SEED CASE.
Verdict for Defendant Directed at
BarnWeIl.

A case that has been watched with
interest by seed houses, seed dealers
and farmers in general, is that of o..
B. Brant VS.. L. J. Baughman, which
was tried in the court of common
pleas for Barnwell county before
Judge Mauldin several weeks ago. In
this action the plaintiff alleged that
he purchased twelve pounds of what
is known as Excel melon seed of l.. J..
Baughman, a grocer at Blackville,
that he planted the seed so bought on
fifteen acres of land and when the
vines began to fruit it was found that
the seed were not producing melons
true to type, and which turned out to
be Guineas or runts. The plaintiff
CLAIMED damage in the sum Of 81 900.
Mr.. Baughman testified that he
purchased the seed in question from
we'll known seed house and gave no
guarantee whatsoever as to results.
It developed from the testimony that
the Excel melon is hybrid, made up
of several different varieties, and that
it is impossible to determine when
the melon will revert to it's parents.
Several farmers testified for the de-
fendant to the fact that they had
saved seed from other kinds of melons
and that for three or four years the
melons came true to type and then
subsequently they reverted to several
different varieties. There was testi-
moNy offered to the effect that water
melons, generally and especially the
Excel melon, proved disastrous to
farmers the season of 1920.
At the close Of the case the de-
PENDANTS attorneys moved for direc-
tion of verdict upon the ground that
Mr.. Baughman was middleman, and
not the grower of the seed, and was
therefore not responsible for the re-
suits. and upon the further ground
that the defendant made no warranty
as to results. The motion was grant
ed, a verdict being directed in favor
