JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR A. GUEST

BUSINESS AND THE BOY.
He never had the time to spend in
play,
Or give much thought TO him who
bore his name;
He'd hoped his son would learn the
proper way.
And never cause him sorrow here
or shame;
He hadn't time to talk with him at
night.
He thought the boy was getting on
all right
He had a business which required
his care.
To lose his money would not do at
all,
Mistakes would happen IL he were
not there,
So quickly does the market rise
and fall;
Though others could be trusted with
his boy,
Others his business surely would
destroy.
Dollars are things man can count
and feel,
The bank accepts them, and the
merchants, too;
Buildings are solid things OF brick
and steel,
And good to own and very fine to
view;
Men know the worth of labor when
is done
But who can count ,he valve in a
son?
The business prospered, but the boy
was lost
Others had failed to fill ~the
fathers place.
The man il rich. but on, the sorry
cost,
The son has come to ruin and
disgrace.
Oh fool. who guards his business
day and night.
Yet blindly hopes his boy Will be all
right.

WHO'S WHO AND WHY.

Every little movement hag meaning" and so
OF course. with the one just launched in Washing
ton by a woman's club. the slogan Of which IS
''keep-y our-rnaiden-name." II is bound TO be ag-
gravating especially to those who believe "womans
place Is in the home" and that her life shall be
unto her husband"
The slogan tells about all that there is to the
movement. The purpose is TO create live active,
public sentiment in favor Of permitting married
women 70 retain the they were born with.
rather than take the their husbands give
them. Thus. when Mary Jones rnarres John Smith
she viii be known as Mrs. Mary Jones and not as
Mrs. Smith.
The ''keep-your- maiden-name" movement is in
token OF the new equality. The custom whereby
Mary Jones becomes Mrs John Smith is regarded
as a survival OF the benlghted time when wives
were held as chatteL whereas they sup
posed to be partners sharing equally in the prop
erty political and social rights of their husbands.
Why. ask the proponents of the new order should
q woman be expected take her husbands name
They argue that to require do is quite
as unfair. say unseemly as it would be to
ask John Smith 70 become Mr.. Mary Jones when
he marries the young lady Of that name.
The argument is difficult to answer However,
there are those who may reply that having prom
ised to honor well love and obey, her husband,
tae least a woman do to honor the fellow is to
adorn herself with his And others may inquire
which name the children will take If mother keeps
her name and father his Will the girls take mamas
maiden name Jones. while the boys grow up to be
Smiths like papa?
But the girls may not like mama's name if 1t
happens to be Toodles or Tiddledewnks, Jazzbo.
or something like that Will they then insist TAX
ing papa's pretter name? Plainly the need for
peace i'm families argues in favor of the mainten-
ance of the old custom Of labelling wives with the
names of the new equality to argue otherwise.
Perhaps this is another Of those non-partisan or
ganizations of women. women. that are likely to
drive the men to organizing non-partisan organza-
tions of men. as a sort Of law OF nature,

FURS.

Furs arc worn by animals to keep
them warm In the winter. and by
women to keep them cool i'm the
summer. They arc the cuticles from
which the original owners have been
sbcllcd-those owners ranging from
the demure and devious mole to the
extremely rare Siberian Cheese
Hound.
Most animals can give but one
kind OF fur. some give two. such
as the muskrat which not only
grows muskrat furs but also Hud-
son seal. However, the only ami
NAL which can give any kind Of fur
at any season of the year is the
americans husbandorum, a queer
biped with bald head and stopped
shoulders. which still survives In
North America despite the Eigh-
teenth Amendment and a shooting
season open all year around for the
convenience Of irate wives and dis
illusiOned vamps. Incidentally a
closed season is being urged for the
americans husbandorum so he can
mate and moult and raise his young
in peace.
There are two general classifca-
tiOns OF furs: Winter and summer.
Winter furs are worn very low, cx-
