can be successful if you will do as have
done.
Ever since got married I have con-
sidered my wife my business partner and
have consulted her all my investments.
L have never bought "a piece of property
without showing it to her first and asking
for her judgment. / have never bought a
share of stock a batch of bonds without
first talking to her about the investment
andh>asking her opinion. That's how / got
rich" =.
We'll didn't you and your wife ever dis
agree about the investments you wanted
to make?" we asked.
ooh certainly" he answered. I'VE dis
agreed very frequently"
What did you do then?"
We'll, you see whenever she disagreed
with me, then I knew that in that. par
ticular instance her judgment was faulty"

We have never even heard negro say you

Although Shakespeare, the Biblical writer's

of redundancy. However, now that we have

Somewhere in the Bible there is something
about a mote and BEAM but we forget
exactly where it is, you look it up.
This is really written with the hope that
it will reach the eye of young lady of cur
acquaintance who says her name is EN-

studying "lawr" She is quite an aggressive
young woman and took to task about our
pronunciation and our colloqualisms.

II went to the Metropolitan Museum
- of Art to inspect the picturesAof the
post impressionists. The advertisement had
already been printed in the newspapers so
all we had to do was follow the crowd which
conducted us straight to the picture of tho
Girl Arranging Her Chemise."
When we looked at the picture we had a
return of the same sensation we had when
we paid a perfectly good dime as a small
boy to see a two-headed calf in side show
at a county fair and then found that the
thing was dead. What we had expected to
see was a regular live calf that could eat
bran mash with one head and drink water
with the other both at the same time, but
instead OF that all we saw was the corpse
Frankly we felt stung. and that's the way
we felt when we saw this picture of a fat
girl out in the woods drawing up the shoul-
der strap Of her chemise over her shoulder.
There was nothing bad about the picture
lat all except the painting. Besides they
don't wear chemises any more. They went
out of style about the time a limerick was
going the rounds We can't repeat II be-
cause we have utterly forgotten 1t. but we
do remember that chemise rhymed with
Princess Louise.
Now there was another picture in the
exhibition that was worth while II you
overlooked the bad drawing and the bum
painting. 1t was called Woman Dressing
Her Hair" Just why she should have been
dressing her hair to the utter neglect of
other portions of her anatomy, which sadly
needed dressing, was not disclosed by the
catalogue.
But what we did not understand about
the exhibition was why the press agent
centred all his attention on the "Girl Ar
ranging Her Chemise" when a detailed de-
scription Of the Woman Dressing Her
Hair" would have packed the gallery all
during the day. and everybody would have
been obliged to ride to the gallery on the
bus line at a cost of 10 cents each way.
because the bus line is the only feasible
means of reaching the place.
Anyway, we don't regret our dime. We
had good time and besides we just love
