Andrew, put my spats on for me please"
 Sure. Mike. replied Andrew, drop ping dutifully on one knee in front of her.
 "Golly, Nose. You are not going out this cold night without high shoes are you?' he asked in dismay as she stuck out her foot.
 Wear high shoes to a dance, ninny?" she asked disdanfully.
 But you, your, you will get 'em cold, won't you?" he went on anx- iously.
 That's why I am putting on the spats,' she replied disdainfully, kick ing the extended foot towards him impatiently.
 'Yes, but tween them and-er-er. Good heavens, woman you've only got pair. of silk stock ings between you and the cold world and the grip germs hiding behind every tree box and pneumonia germs ready to dart out of every area way and the wind taking all sorts of lib- critics and"
 Andrew. will you please put on my spats and stop making comments about such things which do not con cern you?" she asked coldly. There are just a few things that are sacred to a woman even from a snoopy hus- band and the subject you are on Is one of them.
 "I have succeeded in dressing my self without any assistance from you except with regard for externals for several years now and as I am not In I ti.,, Il IF evidence of senility believe I can be trusted for some little time yet.
 "A woman is not constituted exact ly as a man is.
 Divine Providence so built wom- an so that she can devote her time to what looks best rather than to what feels best,
 Dame Fashion decrees that she wear her clothes so loose that if she goes out in winter there Is nothing to keep the zero breezes off of her. You would think that this demanded almost Arctic knitted things on her, of course, because you are man.
 But if you had woman's view point you would realize that these same short skirts which fly around all too well ventilated, will in spite of her best efforts. expose her ankles ana so the bunchy, Knitted things would show and spoil every curve, and, consequently, she couldn't wear them.
 Why, we cannot wear those sort of things even to skating party, for one is always liable to fall down and things like that, you know"
 Thank you" she said as he but toned the last button on the spats and rose to his feet
 Well" he said resignedly, "I used to feel sorry for the poor highlander with his knobby, goose flesh knees exposed to the winter blasts.
 But after this casual glimpse of what the fashionable women must suffer to. be beautiful. when I see how goose epimples must take the place of knitted wool, can see that person can get hardened to any thing and"
 That will be about all,' inter- rupted Imogene. As I told you in the first place. you just confine your interests to the externals of my clothes and will look after the rest.

PROTESTS PAROLE
Geneva Man Analyses Arguments of
 Friends of Lacy

Montgomery, December 27.-(Spe- eial)--A protest against the parole of Theo Lacey, former chief clerk of the state convict department, who is serving the second sentence im- posed for the dedication in the de- partment in 1913, was received by the board of pardons today.
 It came from NJ H. Harper, busi- ness man of Geneva, who analysed the arguments which have been ad- vanced by friends of Lacy and con- tended that they were not sufficient, in his idea, for the liberation of Lacy.
 Mir. Harper said the first argu- ment was that Lacy had made a mod el prisoner, and was entitled to con- sideration because of this fact. He answered that the state already paid Lacy for being a model prisoner by allowing him short time.
 He said the second argument was that there was great doubt of Lacy's guilt in the Frank case, for which he is now serving six years. He an- swered that Lacy should have told his story at the time instead of keep ing his lips sealed.

MORE TRUTH

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE ROMANCE OF THE SEA Sailor" said l, to the sun drowned

 From oporto to Behring Strait! You have seen the flying fish skim
 the foam
 Where the Gulf stream rippled blue, Aid the cachelots spout in the dark
 ling gloam
 GAS I've read that they often do.) Tell me of every thrilling cruise, Talk of the life you've led" The movies was good down to New
 port News None better" the sailor said But, sailor" cried, you have seen
 whole fleets Of the Portugese Men O War, You have heard the whine of the
 brine-wet sheets As you beat off a leeward shore; You have cleft a track through the
 green sea moss While 1t clung to your rusty brow, You have glimpsed the gleam of the
 Southern Cross As it rose on the starboard bow.
 
 You have brested the rolling tide" There's plenty O hootch down Ha-
 vannah way Swel llcker." the tar replied. But what of the equatorial sun To the sou west of Spain, And the desperate time when the
 spindrift spun In the terrible hurricane? What of the calms, when you tossed
 for days, With never breath of breeze, And nothing at all to attract the
 gaze
 But a desert of empty seas? You have dropped your anchor in
 bights and sounds From Brest to Van Dieman's
 Land" q seen Babe Ruth at the Polo
 Grounds"
 Said the sailor, "the brighter fan
