A HUSBAND TO MARCIA
By CAROLYN BEECHER

very becoming. Really. 1t makes you so distinguished looking"
 Yet I'll wager you'd spend an hour of time and dollars in money to eradicate one single one in your own head
 Don't be ridiculous, John. You know 1t is different with a woman. She ages quicker than a man if she doesn't take care of herself" "All right. have it your own way"
 ''Then you'll give me the extra al- lowance?''
 Half of what you asked for. That | is the best I can do."
 Then I can have her only four times a week" Marcia pouted. q suppose I'll have to make it do, but I hate to-"
 This little extravaganza had been added upon others until John felt no shock, no surprise, when Marcia de- manded the larger allowance. If it hadn't been a masseuse 1t | would have been something else" he muttered as he left the house. Might as well be that as anything" This was the spirit in which John | now acquiesced to Marcia's demands in as far as he could. Then. too. any thing to keeping the peace. Marcia did not weep as frequently as when l they were first married and she do as she wished. But she made John far more uncomfortable in other ways than the tears had done. l At times he felt he hated all her women friends. She quoted what | they said, what their respective hus- bands did for them, until John would have liked to murder them all. She l would tell of something she was going to have to her intimates, then l afterwards demand it of John, tell I ing him she could not endure the | modification if he refused. Her friends would call him stingy, she said. and be sorry for her. Or she l would go into a rage and become hysterical. It was easier to give her what she wanted, than it was to re- fuse her and go through the nerve racking hours that followed his re- fusal.
 Marcia was all nerve and vivacity, easy and gay when she had her own | way. When she couldn't there was
 a thorny hedge about her that John had learned to dread. The thorns pricked mercilessly. One of her
 sayings that used to rifle John un-
 speakably was:
 ! It a l0Veiy WorIQ IT you Woulc not bother over trifles. John." This
 usually after she had made some demand which he had granted against his better judgment; granted
 to keep peace.
 ! Marcia was not the Jealous sort
 She felt too sure of her own attrac- tions She often said to Nell French:
 John wouldn't look at another
 woman-I know him too well. Ther
 take good care he doesn't have any
 spare change to go philanderine T with. A man can't get very far away without money"
 They both laughed as If it were 8 good joke. Yet Marcia had added that about the money just in spirit of fun. She was sure of John. She loved him, was his wife. That tolt
 the whole story.
 John stopped in the little shop tha
 morning. His spirit needed bolster. ling, and he never saw Muriel DoraI
 that he did not feel her upliftin;
 influence. It was the first time h.
 had called in the morning and sh'
 showed her surprise.
 John made some little excuse, bu as she raised her smiling eyes t
 him he studied her face. For tn

as lenient with temper" as was the last. More and more men are hold ing wives responsible in this matter of nerves
 This may be an unconscious reac- ton to the theories of the feminists and suffragists- If women test men by higher standards of conduct. they must themselves aspire to higher standards. Or the reaction may in part be due to a better understand ing of nerves" as a disease.
 From that readable book, "Out- witting Our Nerves" by Drs. Jackson and Salisbury, comes his informa- ton:
 '-Neurosis in a confidence game we play on ourselves. It is an att tempt to get stolen fruit and look pious at the same time-not in order to fool somebody else but to fool ourselves"

NERVE SPREES

Time was when the sympathetic husband believed in wife's nerves" as he did in the sincerity of her tears when she had hysteric at one in the morning. And unless he comforted her. slaved for her. sacrificed his work to care for her. he accounted himself brute.
 Doubtless many women are actu- ally the victims of some physical breakdown, and some men are genu- inc brutes. Nevertheless. the new psychology teaches us that nerves" cause about 75 per cent of all dis eases and that an astonishing num- Der of these nervous persons might be cured-if they did not so much enjoy their nervous sprees.
 Writes one of the older husbands:
 My wife is a beautiful woman of middle age. Mentally, we haven't much in common although she is no fool when it comes to getting her own way. If she is crossed in the smallest thing, she pouts. frets or nags like a shrew. It is so childish that it disgusts me.
 Years ago I used to think her tantrums cute enough and I petted her out of them but now I'm a pretty

 i've never had any since I mar ried her. Sometimes decide to take it wherever I can find it and then I think of my two beautiful daugh- ters in college and decide I want to be as good as they think I am.
 My wife's temper gets worse as she grows older, and the question is, will my girls take after her? Or can I prevent 1t?
 Heaven help their husbands If the men have to live as have done"
 Probably this worried father will find that his daughters have inner ited his disposition to be patient.
 The point of the story is that the present generation of husbands is not

first time since their acquaintance began, he looked at her closely. Her face was underlined, there were no signs of discomfort about her mobile lips, no tiny wrinkles about her eyes. A certain quiet peace radiated from her.
 Do you employ messeuse?" John asked, to be answered by a merry peal of laughter. "A masseuse, of course not. have neither the time n6r the money to spend beautifying myself. Why" "Oh, nothing. I just felt bit curious, that's all.'

muttered after he left the shop. 'T guess I am-pretty nearly. But If she can look like that, and work as hard as she does, why can't Marcia keep her looks when she has nothing to do but take care of herself?"
 That the very fact that she worked hard, that her mind was occupied, kept her young, John could not know. He saw the world of women through Marcia's eyes. He had been too busy always to spend time speculating about them.

Smarty, smarty, Mir. Smarty,
 Glad to see you looking hearty!
 Weather's fine, as you can see,
 Won't you take a walk with me?
 So said Reddy Fox, knowing all the time that Chatterer couldn't take a walk with any one. At first Chat terer scolded and called Reddy all the bad names he could think of. but after a while he didn't feel so much like scolding. In fact, he didn't half hear the mean things Reddy Fox said to him. You see, it was coming over him more and more that nothing could take the place of freedom. He had a comfortable home, plenty to eat, and was safe from every harm, but he was prisoner, and having these visitors made him realize it more than ever. Something very like tears filled his eyes, and he crept into his hollow stump, where he couldn't see or be seen.

Rumors that the greater part OF

Indication that the wealth of Mr..

Speeding Charge.

STAUNTON. Va. April 2S.-Out of
the Businesses OF mountainous high
land to the west of Stanton, a county
without railroads and in other ways

in Monterey, a pursuit Of two young
highlanders by a strong sheriffs

with rocks and pistols, and the morta!
wounding of both.
REFUSED ARREST.
The young men were Clarence and
John Ryder. The prelude to their
tragic end occurred in Monterey, the
county seat, earlier in the day. when
officers attempted to arrest one of the
young men for violation of a town
ordinance. said to have been automo-
bile speeding. He refused to take cog
nizance of the officers order TO con-
slider himself under arrest, and fed
from town. Mayor Colaw of Monte

headed by Sheriff Bird started in pur-
suit.

and his deputies commenced to FIRE.
