 If It Fits
 When you hear an older woman knocking the modern girl it is pret- ty safe to assume she is sore be- cause the girls of today are free to do the things she wanted to do when she was their age, but which were considered oh, very, very wicked.
 A girl who declares her love is the kind that endures, never dreams of what it is going to have to en- dure when she marries him or she probably would ditch it P. D. Q.
 Weeds in the home garden never make much of hit, but when a widows weeds get in the garden of love they never lack for admirers.
 We guess a husband is the only minority that never considers it worth while to bring in minority report.
 The Divorce Court records show the progress that is being made in taking love out of marriage and now we see they are trying to take it out of tennis, but we guess they will have a pretty hard time even eradi- eating self love out of people.
 If you see mother still wearing her short skirt it is safe bet she is doing it because she hasn't been able to make father come across for a new one.
 It is funny how a mother thinks everybody should think as much of her darling boy as she does and yet how indignant she gets when some pretty girl comes along who loves him enough to marry him.
 One sign that a boy is beginning to near mans state is when he stops using his coat sleeve and remembers mother put a handkerchief in his pocket.
 The women used to have a pocket hidden in the underskirt of their dresses and had to lift .he outer skirt to get to it. But the way the girls dress these days they wouldn't dare lift the outerskirt.
 The reasCn mother would hate for father to get seriously sick is be- cause with pretty nurse around she knows if she didn't lose him by death she would be pretty sure to lose him in the Divorce Court.
 Father, who gets so sore answer ing mothers fool questions at the baseball game ought to go to foot ball game and sec the patience son shows in answering his sweetie's even more idotic questions about the gridiron plays. Still that is the way father used to treat mother, too. when they were that age.
