Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer,
Cheating Cheaters-2.

The price of that kind of a wife is
above rubies. What is the real value
of the gold brick sort of wife your
daughter is going to be?
And look at your son. A waster
and a spender. No serious purpose in
life. No real ambition to do anything
worth while. Still hanging like a
parasite on the family tree instead of
having the grit to start out on his
own and show that he can stand
alone. Selfish. overbearing and in
considerate to his mother and sisters.
Churlish around home, which he con-
siders a place where one can lay aside
good manners and the deceneies of
life.
If you We're in the matrimonial in
surance business you wouldn't risk
two cents on the chance of happiness
that any girl would have married to
man like that. You know that he
will probably never be able to make
even fair living for his family. and
that he will vent his spleen over his
failure on his poor wife. You know
that when a man of that sort finds
that he has to deny himself his per-
sonaI 1ndulgences to support his wife
that his love vanishes, and he hates
her because she stands in the way of
his pleasures. You know Just how
stingy, and mean, and cruel, ana ty-
ranical that kind of man can be to a
"OAIi1lA WIZ 10 III Ills pOWeT.
The man you want your little girl
to marry is a big, strong, self reliant
man who has proved himself, who has
higher aspirations than being a good
dancer, or Sticking back his hair. You
want man who can take care of
her, guard her, and who will be ten
der, and wise, and true-not a Jelly
bean like her brother
Yet you are going to let some other
girl wreck her life marrying the hus-
band you have prepared for her.
Perhaps in all the long history of
mans inhumanity to man that makes
countless thousands mourn" none is so
cruel as that of people raising up chill
dren to be the kind of husbands and
wives they would not be willing for
their own children to marry We
make our children demons of selfish
ness, and thriftlessness, and i'll temper
and expect them to marry domestic
angels.
OF course they don't. Cheaters
nearly always get cheated, and biters
bitten Our spoiled sons and daughters
marry other spoiled and undisciplined
sons and daughters. and yet we marvel
at the increase in divorce.
Every one knows that all of the
other misery in the world is asa mole
hill to a mountain compared with the
unhappiness of miserable marriages.
We could stop that in one geenration
sons and daughters as they hope some
! ing up theirs, to make good husbands
and wives for those who marry them

MISS KITTY
BIZ LEE PAPE


Miss Kitty is our fletcher.
Her face is round but sour,
And she's shaped like a bolster tied
in half.
So she don't look like a flower.
She's not exter tall and she's not exter
short
And her feet are long for their size.
And she eats her lunch rite on her
desk,
Espeshilly buttermilk and pies.
Her age is between 80 and so
And she's fearse if you don't mind.
0 its not her fault she's a fletcher
So let us think of her kind.
Her werst words are ''Il1 now give out
homework"
Vile THE class is dismissed" are her
best,
And the incest thing she does is get
sick for a day.
Vile the meenest is to give us n test.
She likes silents in the class room
But she chases out the flies.
And she teetches every sub1eck
Inoloodlng fizzical exercise.
1t makes her mad if you're late for
skool
And it takes a good Excuse to fool her.
o is that the werld coming to a end
No, its Miss Kitty banging her ruler.
