used for years, though IT never sue

According to M. Maurice Donnay. the
Partisan playwright, THE word
'boche' is not creation OF the war
for, in French slang, it is frequent
occurrence to substitute 'boche' or
'oche' for the final syllable Of word.

manner which signifies contempt or

last syllable and substituting 'boche.

That this term annoyed the former
Kaiser is evident from his protest
early in 1918. against "the detestible
word Boche," and his satisfaction
over the report that it's use was be-

or cause her to refrain from trying
to pass II on to others.
Perhaps this Is natural enough. Per-
haps no one can see a couple OF In

desiring TO shout some sort OF warn
irg to them. even II 1t 10 only to bid
them beware of tho particular rocks
on which their own ship Of happiness
was wrecked. Indeed, IL most Of the
people who thrust undesired advi, g

because it h the tragedy OF the knowl-
edge that we gain by experience that

any good.
But. as my little bride says all the
advice that Is given to bridal couples
is excessive, superhuous, undesired,
and no good. anyway. because no hus-
band and wife since the first bridal ex-
cursion in the garden of Eden have
ever had just the same matrimonial
puzzle to work out, or have approach
ed the domestic problem from the
same angle
Every husband and every wife on
earth have a thousand little eccen-.
tricities OF temper. and temperament,
and disposition that makes each
\ separate riddle to solve, and each is
Iut into an environment that calls
Tor different treatment of the situa-
! ton.
This turns all advice, no matter how
wise as general proposition, inte
utter foolishness In the individual ap-
plication OF 1t. The way to manage
cne man or woman Is not the way to
rlanage another. The things that ap-
peal to one husband or wife leave
another cold. The tactics that cause
one husband to loosen up and b,
lavish will button up another's packe:
There are men who have to be jol
lied and cajoled; other men who's,
sense of justice must be appealed TO
still others who must be browbeaten
and henpecked into being good hus
bands. There are weak, lovable mer
whose wives must always take toward
them the indulgent attitude of /.
mother towards a bad child; there ar
other men who are oaks of strength
on which their wives can lean. Their

Madam Grow. He watched her fly
straight to her home near the top
or tree. where she had made a nest
lined with wool and hair, and Mr.. Fox
smiled 10 himself as he trotted off TO
the home Of his friend Coon.
Mr.. Fox did not want that nest. but
he was sure Mr.. Coon would be inter-
ested. and that was why he smiled
for Mr.. Coon has a trick of taking
the nest Of a crow or q hawk if he
feels disposed to take a nap when he
is prowling about among the trees,
and he is such a good and careful
climber that nest high up among
the slender branches is no bother for
him TO reach.

Madam's nest he smiled, too. THAT

Madam at home it will not matter

adjectivcs and the capitals are here

: She says that she Is overwhelmed
and dazed by the conflicting counsel
that has been given her. and that
diametrically opposed are the various
theories OF how to be happy though
married that have been thrust upon
her by different well-meaning friends.
that she would now know which
prophet to follow, even If she were
seeking advice on the subject. which
she isn't. Quite the contrary.
She has been told. she says. that It
is the duty of wife to be meek. and
mild, and patient. and forebearing in
her attitude towards her husband. She
has also been assured that a wife
writes her own pricetag. and that she
gets from her husband only what she
makes him give up. and that foxy
wife lets her husband monopolize all
the meek. mild. patient business while
she remains perched upon the
pedestal on which he installed her in
the days OF courtship.
One woman advises her that the
way to help her husband get on is by
being thrifty, and industrious. and
economical. Another informs her that
the real recipe for making a husband
hustle is for his wife to be such a
good spender that he has TO get into
high speed to keep up with her bills.
One woman tells her that the way
TO Ike y a husbands affection is by
making corns on her hands cooking
him good things to eat. Another tells
h, that If she desires 10 keep her
husband interested In holding her
hand. she must keep IT In nice,
