Yes, Times Have
Changed

A FEW years ago the word
"A idiot" meant a member Of
the Roman citizenry. Citizens
in general would resent the inn
plication that the word con-
veys, today. There are still
idiots, but the application Of
the word is entirely different
from what it was of old.
There was also time when
some advertisements had to be
taken with a grain Of salt. A
few misguided advertisers
thought they could sell their
goods better by misrepresent-
ing them. Those advertisers
have long since gone out of bus
iness or mended their ways.
Hard experience taught that
untruthful advertising didn't
pay.
Other advertisers proved that
the only way to advertise sue
cessfully, make regular custom
ers, and to build up good will
was to tell the absolute truth
about their goods.
Today you can depend on the
merchant or manufacturer who
advertises. The concern that
tells you frankly what it is do
ing is good concern with
which to do business. The store
that advertisers is progressive
store that has something worth
while to say to you. And COM
panies that advertise their pro-
ducts or their services believe
in them. You can safely share
their confidence.

tion, it is because the flower of romance has been choked and smothered by the cares and irritations of daily life. These unseemIy weeds must as far as possible, be pulled up by the roots. When you get them out of the way you will doubtless discover the little flower of romance struggling to grow. Help it along all you can. Water it, enrich the soil in which it is planted. Keep the hurt ful weeds pulled up from around it.
 When husband comes home tonight re- mind him of something he did when you were courting that was sweetiy silly. Ask him if he remembers the day you went way out to the little country church to the all day-singing, and how clumsy he was in his first effort at making love. Whatever his answer may be, follow that question with, Do you love me as much now as you did then, John?" If he says in an off-hand way that you know he does, rush up to him like chiid, and if he is eating his supper it won't matter if you knock his fork out of his hand on the floor or turn over his cup of coffee. But rush over to him, throw your arms around hsi neck, hug him so hard that it will choke him a bit. Then emphasize the caress with fitting grunt, and assure him of what you know is the truth-that you love him more, far more than you did that day at the little church. What man won't thaw out under such treatment?

assert that you have fulfilled your q do" as we'll and perhaps better than husband has.
 Household responsibilities are so numer- ous, so monotonous, so nerve-trying that much allowance must be made for little omissions, and for degree of what might be called occasional oversight But if neces- sity compels us to be a trifle negligent, let's see to it that our negligence is not directed at husband. In fact, let's allow everything to go wrong before he is sighted. Oh, I don't mean "siighted' as to : his meals or his clothing or as 70 comrort- able bed, but sighted in those little loving attention which are such trifles, but which are the very fife of husband. Can men overgrown babies, say they are spoiled and unreasonable, or what not; the fact is and will always be that they not only like to be made over," but must be made over if you get along with them. One of the sweetest traits of sweet woman is to recognize this little whim of her husband and humor it.
 Authorities on the subject say that it is the mans business to do the wooing before marriage, and that the wife should do so after marriage. Most men will respond to litte owing. They are few, far between, and 'freakish'' who won't thaw out under its influence. Where married life has be- come cold, sordid, matter-of-fact proposi-

But somebody says, Why don't you g.ve the husband a few instructions?" For many reasons which lack of space prevents my mentioning. To restore the romance to married life, somebody has got to take the initiative, and I naturally appeal to ,h. woman because she is more easily persuaded, more tender-hearted, and, statements to the contrary notwithstanding, more open to reason than a man. For your encourage ment l will say that many hard-wore :ng, industrious fellow, who is ideal as manager of home affairs, has just one malady, and It is a disease of the heart that only you can heal. It is love-hunger
 It is impossible to lay down any but general rules for the treatment .of hus- band, and the first one is treat him in to make him over Love him as he is. If he is smoker, light his pipe or cigar for him, and let him knock the ashes anywhere he pleases. You love him better than you love your house furnishings. Let him know, every chance you have, that you didn't marry him merely to make you a living. If he is not adapted for such things (ana many men are not) don't complain at him because he doesn't assist you in cleaning up the dishes or nursing the baby while you are busy or doing anything that is properly a woman's job.

RECALLING YOUR WEDDING VOWS

TTOW long has it been since that event. 7 full day when you were at the same - time happy, sad and scared to death? I mean your wedding day It was all too good to be true; at least, it seemed that way, and you felt inclined to pinch yourself to see if you were dreaming. Wasn't 1t funny to see the big husky fellow you loved, mostly for his very strength and manliness, become panic-stricken with fright? Why, his knees popped together like schoolboy's when he makes his first speech. And you were scared, too, but somehow it sweetened the episode for the two of you to be nerv- ous. It is neither here nor there as to whether the preacher included the word "obey" in the ceremony, but when he asked you if you would cherish and comfort the man by your side,' your "I do" sounded mighty sweet even to the spectators How it must have thrilled the noble fellow by your side
 The question I am about to ask you is not put in critical taunting, sarcastic spirit, but purely for your own sake and for the sake of the happiness of your husband. When the minister asked, Do you promise to love, cherish and comfort this man in sickness and in health?" your q do" sounded mighty sweet. Now, the question I want to ask in all good nature is: Have you kept that promise? I believe that in a great measure you have. l venture to

 Mir. Cray obeyed orders. Major lIartopp took gloomy view of the situation.
 "Carding didn't give us a moment to look around" he explained. We had bare ly "A hours notice before he marched us to this internal steamer. All the money Nina and I have between us is about 90 pounds in cash, and about 140 in bank. Whats so damned annoying is,' he went on, they'll never pay over the rest of the legacy if this gets into the papers, They haven't chance of holding Nina for anything she's done--shes been too clever for that; but the exposure will be quite sufficient. Those Scotch lawyers will fight the case inch by inch, sooner than pay over shilling if Mna's bona fides is once questioned"
 "Supposing the money was forthcoming" Mir Cray said. your wife says she knows where you could find shelter for few days"
 Not only that" Hartopp declared eagerly, "but I could get passage back on this ship without any questions be- ing asked The prrser's a very decent fellow, and Eve been having a talk with him about it.
 Mr. Cray went back to Nina. She looked at him with very pretty hesitation. she asked.
 "The state of your exchequer, unfor- ' tunately, seems to place that out of the question: he told her.
 She leaned forward. Her hand rested upon his, and the pressure of her fingers became more marked. There was some thing about the haunting way she looked at him remined Mr. Cray of the first time he had seen her at the Albert Hall.
 Dear friend" she whispered, q am very fond of Guy, in his way. He is dear, of course, but am fonder still of liberty. The charge against me is really foolish one. The only trouble is that it may spoil my chance of getting that legacy. Couldn't you pay him little less and get him to leave me out? I could dis appear and be waiting when Guys trouble was over."
 Mir. Cray, being only human, returned the pressure of her fingers, but he shook his head.
 q guess I'll see you both through this," he promised. "It won't ruin me, anyway"
 
 MT. Cray was met on the dock by MT. Nathaniel Long, the agent of his company, and hurried away to one of the hotels. There in their room the latter drew from a small grip a bottle of Scotch whisky. Plumbers were speedily forthcoming.
 Flows business?" Mir. Cray inquired.
 That's what's brought me here,'' the other replied. Joseph, the Kennedy Powder Works have offered to buy us out as We stand, before we start reconstruc- ton, with $5,OOO,OOO for good will and premium on the stock. It's big chance if you've any fancy for cleaning up.'
 "It sounds great MT. Cray murmured. Say, Nat, I've given an open check for $5,0O0-lost it at poker on the ship I guess it's all right, eh?"
 When MT. Cray and Mr. Long had spent a solemn but inspiring two weeks at the lawyers and bankers, Mir. Cray, for the first time in his life, was very rich man. His program for the final evening showed a sense of celebration.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-18

 great measure you have. I venture to inveighled his companion into more re- tired spot.
 "See here, Carding," he began, '1m a plain man and I want to ask you a plain question. Had you heard of Mrs. Hartopp's legacy when you started out on this trip?' The detective rolled his cigar round, and expectorated. q had," he admitted. ..How do you figure that might come in?" "Just in this way,' Mr. Cray explained. "You found your warrant granted little unexpectedly, and you found the Hartopps amendable to reasons. You've got them on board here without any fuss, and l take it there isn't soul the other side who knows that you're bringing 'em along In fact, you've fixed it so that if you were to turn up at headquarters empty handed, no one would be disappointed or surprised"
 "Well?"
 "Now let me ask you as to man," Mir. Cray went on, didn't it enter into your head that little deal with the Hartopps might be made, some little ar engagement by which they could mingle with the other passengers and slip away when we dock and you could make little deposit at your bank against rainy day? How's that, MT. Carding?"
 q get you,'' the latter said calmly "You're suggesting that l might be bribed to let them go.'
 "Seo here, Carding," Mir. Cray argued in his most persuasive tone, 'I figured the matter out this way to myself: Carding's man of, say 45 to 46 years of age he draws a salary that don't permit of much saving, and when they retire him in few years time, the pension isn't going to keep him in luxury. l take it that it's mans business as he walks along through life to try and put bit by when he sees chance. Here's just one of these chances "The Hartopps aint criminals at all They're just sy-going, pleasant adven- turer and adventures, who live by their wits and other peoples folly. haven't got a grudge against 'em, although they near ly cost me thousand. They're not malici- ous; they're not out to do anyone any particular harm in the world. Are you travelling along with me, Carding?"
 "Aye," was the terse reply.
 l nere1Ore, say that they re your chance" MT. Cray ended The detective considered for some min utes.
 "Supposing I was willing to talk busi- ness," he said, "what would be the price?" 1.-Two thousand dollars" MT. Cray pro- nounced.
 Nothing dong."
 'Name your own figure, then"
 "Five," Carding declared firmly-"not a cent less"
 MT. Cray sighed.
 ; ''It's a lot of money," he declared ; "lt's big risk," was the terse reply.
 "How long can you give me to think it Over?"
 "Twenty-four hours" 'Ill meet you here at this time tomor- row night" MT. Cray promised.
 Mrs. Hartopp was looking very wan and delicate the next day. Her soft, luminous eyes called Mir. Cary to her side as soon as he appeared on deck. She questioned him eagerly.
 ''Is there any chance, do you think!"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-18

to the Hartopp's predieament.
 "The man can be bought" Mir. Cray re- piled. "The trouble is that he wants a great deal of money'' >~"How much?"
 Five thousand dollars
 Her face fell.
 Ut is terrible" she murmured.
 Have you anything at all toward it?" MT. Cray asked bluntly.
 "You had better ask Guy," she answered. 'I never know exactly how we stand finan- cially. Of course, if only the legacy had been paid we should have been all right"
 "Supposing the money was found, have you any place you could get to quickly and lie hidden until more suspicious timer"
 We have . certain hiding place." she assured him. 'ss'here would be no diff culty about that There is Guy over there. Will you go ant talk to him?"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-18

 Joseph, my boy what are you going to do about it?' Nathaniel Long inquired. You're in the prime of life, and very rich man. You can wander out into the world, as you have done during the last few years, looking for adventures. Mrs. Cray doesn't seem to make any particular claim upon you, especially since her anti tobacco league was started. You're free man, Joseph. That what you are.''
 Are you?" MT. Cray asked What about you, Nathaniel?"
 Nathaniel Long shook his wzened lit tie head.
 ''I guess that sort of thing doesn't ex- ist for me- he replied sorrowfully. "I have wife and eight children. I shall just rent slightly larger house and take my ease. It is fortunate that ] have not your restless spirit.
 Mr. Cray was suddenly transfixed. He sat watching with sheer amazement a lit tie party of three whose members were taking their places at an adjoining tab ble-Major Hartopp in his uniform, spruce and debonar Nina, his wife, look ing ravishingly in wonderful gown of filmy gray and Mir. Carding only some what transformed MT. Carding in dinner coat.
 The head water himself saw them t, their places, obsequious maitre dhotel passed on their order to attentive myrmi- dons.
 Nathaniel Long followed his friends earnest gaze with some interest
 Joseph he asked, do you know the their dinner at V<A1 ', b> staring at him hard enough"
 ''He was on the steamer with me-" Mi. Cray acknowledged
 'That fellows seen the inside of prison more than once,' MT. Long declared
 Some crook, he is, l can tell you l don't know what name he goes by now, but they used to call him Jimmy the Eel. He seems to have got in with swell crowd"
 Hes never been a detective, by any chance, suppose?" Mir. Cray asked his partner.
 Nathaniel Long smiled
 II should say not,' he replied. q don't thlnk, even on the principle of set thief to catch a thief they'd stand the Eel in the force"
 At that moment Mrs. Hartopp caught Mr. Cray's eye and bowed in . somewhat constrained fashion. Hartopp nodded af- fably. MT. Carding cyntented himself with a furitive grin. Mr. Cray drark glass of water with great solemnty.
 Nathaniel" he declared, q guess that taste for adventure is fizzlipg out. I've got to hire dog and :. guardian and live amongst the boobs.'
 Been stung?" Nathaniel Long inquired kindly.
 MT. Cray met Mrs. Hartopp's tantaiz- ing eyes and looked aw:y.
 Slightly" he groaned, and reached for the mineral water. Copyright, 1922, by the Bell Syndi-
