More Tablets of Stone

III lhpANAo VI oiOhC
Another ten commandments" has
gone by the board. About ever Sc
often one hears of a decalogue to
regulate everything from matrimony
to a bridge game
Since Moses failed to have his idea
protected by copyright, there's no
limit to the literary piracy of his
style.
This set of commandments which
we take for our text today was
drawn up by a lawyer and the girl
he married. 1t worked fine for a
while, but after six years of its nom
observance the affair was settled N
the divorce court.
That isn't saying the decalogue
isn't a good one, however. But 1t
must be lived up to in order to be
effective. We would like to see 1t
tried out some time, SO we herewith
give it a wider circulation than the
court records.
j. Let your husband control your
home. When you lose your respect
for his ability you are losing your
love for him.
9. Be a good cook. If you cannot
cook, make 1t your business to hire a
good cook and see that the meals are
served on time.
3. Keep your home attractive and
cozy. If you are a musician, play
and sing for him in the evening.
A.. Study his disposition and act &C
cordingly.
s. DO not blame all of the troubles
on the man. Many times the woman
is to blame.
6. Learn to trust your husband.
Accept his explanation of why he
was out late.
7. Do not nag.
s. Take an interest in his business.
Talk shop" to him.
3. Exercise your right to vote and
he'll be proud of YOU.
10. Show him a little affection and
attention. Make love to him.
Now if somebody will only evolve
a corresponding decalogue for hus-
bands. maybe this matrimonial game
wouldn't be so one-sided.

BARGAINS
Nothing is cheap if you don't need it."

Nothing is cheap if you don't need it."
Women, remember that next time you go shopping.
Don't become a prey to the bargain counter.
Don't be hoodwinked into parting with your money by
the thought, II may need it sometime" Before that some
time you may need your money, too.
Much more extravagant than buying an expensive dress,
for which you have use and from which you will get much
service, is the purchase of a cheap one, which you do not need
and which will soon be consigned to the dscards because it
has gone out of style.
1t requires much common sense and good judgment to
spend oue's money wisely.
Not SO much what it cost, but how much wear and SER
vice will | get out of it.
Not so much stress laid on the inherent value OF the article
but more on the suitability of it to your purpose.
Not so much the up-tothe minuteness of its style, but
its praetieabihty for some time to come.
These are some of the questions the wise shopper con-
siders before she purchases her bargain.
Don't mistake me. There are occasionally such things
2s bargains. And what satisfaction and delight there is in
securing one. But often, very often a bargain is a camou-
flaged extravaganza. 1t is against such that l want to warn
my readers.

There are far too many of us who
consider hat to be conscientious
mothers we have TO save" our chill
dren from all the ordinary mishaps
of life. The more things they man
age to escape, through our eternal
vigilance, the better mothers we con

get along in the world and develop
their own bumps of caution and con-
hdence, we consider 1t mere luck.
There is more than one reason
why we deny so many things to our
children which have nothing to do
with their safety. More often than
not we are thinking less of the chill

Perhaps the thing that kills love oftener than anything
else is bad manners. Just lack of ordinary, common, everyday

when it has to endure daily rudeness.
