LISTEN, WORLD!
BY ELSIE ROBINSON.

I'm going to write about plain little
wives. L wish l had another sort of
vocabulary wherewith to do it. some
thing fresher and more hopeful than
the word code we use in the rest of
the newspaper. I'd like a finer vo-
cahulary even than the one with
and prize beauties, the famous lady
lawyers. politicians and Divorces.
For with all their glitter, they're
very ordinary when they come to
stand beside the plain little wife in
her faded Singham dress.
I'm not going to talk about her with
sloppy ignorance and sentimentality
We've done too much of that sort OF

just think of Jerry Muskrat. 1t makes
me shiver just to think of that cold
black water under the ice. How he

but he can't stay in here all the time.
He has to get food, and how he does
that is beyond me.
Il guess there will be no one more
glad than he when Mistress Spring
arrives. Some folks certainly do have
it hard in this life. I have 1t hard
enough. goodness knows. but ! guess
Jerry has il a lot harder. He must
have down in that cold water. l
shouldn't think he ever would get
warm. OF course he has a thick. warm
coat, but even with that he must be
dreadfuily cold a times. Yes. sir, he

THE DAUGHTERS CAREER
BY HELEN ROWLAND

A Chicago father has cast. off his daughter
without a penny, because. she preferred a
perfectly good husband, tt, professional ca
reer.
Rather a new and astounding attitude for
"Father!"
Father used to insist that Daughter should
be taught all the domestic arts and social
graces necessary to making some man a
good little wife,"
If Daughter had other aspirations, she
kept them as carefully concealed as she did
her powder rag and yellow novels, in those
days of sepulchred. women.
| If Father caught her reading Tolstoi
studying law, or practicing classic dancing,
he flew into frightful brainstorm, and pre-
dicted that she would "come to no good
end"
Everything was the "END"-in those
times. Marriage was the end Of love and ro-
nance, Heaven the end of work and trouble.
Father patted all the nice eligible men on
the back, rnd wondered passionately how
soon one Of them would take up the migrate
full task Of paying for her frills and digesting
her cooking.
OF course when the fated-not "fatted"-
the fatefl calf came to propose, Dad made
noise like father" and put up some paper
hoops Cor the young man to jump through,
just al matter of form.
But after that he did not draw a happy
breath, until the clergyman had pronounced
the entence, and the ushers began throwing
rice.
IT, Daughter threatened to elope, Father
saidL "Tut, tut!"-but he left the window
opfin.
Now, all that has changed The NEW
FLther has different ideas-and ideals.
Daughter is to him no longer burden to
be shifted to some younger mans shoulders
1.-THE potential keeper of some mans happi-
ness.
\ She is human being, an individual even
a possible asset-certainly not a liability.
| He shares her aims and ambitions, her
! hopes and dreams and problems and even
! b : sports and games.
He wants to give her the chance to find
I her NICHE in life, whether it is in bust
ness office, or in some mans kitchen.
! OF course, not all the New Fathers are
like this Chicago parent.
! Most fathers still Leave vast sigh Of re-
! lief, from their gentle bosoms, on the day
that Daughter shyly says, 81 will" to some
! promising young man, who has been blind
folded and backed to the altar.
| Most fathers still have to control their
faces to keep from looking too cheerful at
the wedding. Most fathers still believe that
marriage is the safest and sanest career, the
| only complete life for a woman.
But, marry the girl OFF, is no, longer
Fathers slogan
1t is, "Let the girl have a chance!''
Poor, dear Father! He has never been ap-
preciated.
But, at last, Father and Daughter are
IPALS!
The New Father and the New Daughter un-
/ derstand each other.
Blessings on the New Father. More power
to him!

Mule Collars Are LARGER

7 T seems now that more brains on the
farm result in larger necks on the
mules, and that both spell prosperity.
An enthusiastic locality in the large and
expansive state Of Texas is advised that
fashions in mule collars show distinct
trend to the larger sizes. Where mule col
lars formerly were bought in sizes IA to IS
exclusively, and a ian who called for a size
20 collar would have been regarded as the
proprietor of medium-sized elephant, it
now is rare for mule collar of under 20
inches to be purchased, and size % is re-
garded as about standard.
This naturally indicates a development in
mule necks. While it might be argued that
the Texas mule simply had decided to give up
kicking and buckle down to pulling, there
is nothing facetiors or fallacious in the true
conclusion.
Larger mule collars mean simply that
there is better breeding of draUi;ht animals,
better feeding, better farms, ana more pros
porous farmers.
