your son turned over the job Of Sc
Letting his wife to you? Some Wom-
en- were discussing this subject the
other day, and one of them said;
ITO begin with, I'd pick out girl
Of good family.
AZ don't mean that she would nee
essarily have to be blue-blooded,
though I've never been able to see
why blood doesn't count in human
beings as much as it does in the
lower animals, nor why it isn't as
desirable to have a daughter-ln-aW
with a pedigree as it is to have a
bulldog with one. Other things be-
ing equal, I should certainly prefer
a girl who had a few of her great
grandmother's silver spoons, and
family portraits, and traditions. to
one who had. none.
when I say I'd pick a girl who
comes of a good family, I mean good
literally I mean a girl who comes
of honest, decent, upright people.
who are respected in their Communi-
ty, a family that has no jailbirds,
and the skeletons of no unfortunate
women in its closets.
"T believe in heredity. and that
there are people born without any
sense Of honor or responsibility, and
with an almost irresistible tendency
toward drinking and gambling and
sensuality.
and I believe still more in the
power of environment. and that a
girl is just about what her mother
makes her. SO I want my SON s
wife to come out of a home where
there are strict ideas of right and
wrong. and where the mother inn
pressed high ideals on her daughters.
do not want my son to marry a
girl whose mother taught her by pre-
cept and example the easy philosO-
ply that what a man doesn't know
doesn't hurt him. and that a wife
is justified in getting all she can
by hook or crook. and that lying
and deceit are all the days work of
q married woman.
THE girl who comes OF good
family is virtually sure to run
straight. and her husbands heart
may safely trust in her. as the Bible
says But the girl who comes Of a
Scalawag family will bear watching.
bird.
Then I would pick out girl from
a well-todo family. Not rich.
unless a young mali has a for
TUE of his own | can imagine no
greater calamity that can befall him
than to marry a girl who has been
raised to have everything she wants,
without stopping to count the cost.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

taken off that new suit and swal-
lowed it if he had wanted to. But
it wasn't this that was too much
for Old Mr. Toad. 1t was the i'm
pudence Of the young Chuck. Oh
Mr.. Toad swallowed hard once or
twice, then turned his back and be-
gan to hop away.
The young Chuck watched him
for a moment. and then the spirit
of mischief entered into him. This
homely fellow was too small to be
afraid of. He would tease him a
little. SO the young Chuck reached
out a black paw and turned OH
Mr.. Toad over on his back. Now
such little dignity as Old Mr.. Toad
has be loses entirely when he is
on his back. 1t wasn't easy for hire
10 get on his feet again. SO now he
waved his legs around in such A
funny, helpless way as he tried to
turn over that he really did look
very funny. The young Chuck
laughed until he felt as il he would
have to hold his sides.
AS soon as Old Mr.. Toad was on
his feet again the young Chuck
turned him over again. He did this
several times. Poor Old Mr.. Toad
grew angrier and angrier. He was
so angry that it seemed as if be
would choke to death. He told that
young Chuck just what he thought
Of bim. He told him that he would
come to no good end. He said So
much that finally the young Chuck
lost his temper.
Now, Chucks do not eat Toads
and Johnny or Polly Chuck would
have known better than to taks
Old Mr.. Toad into their mouths.
But the young Chuck, having lost
his temper, seized Old Mr.. Toad,
intending to bite him.
He did bite him. 1t wasn't a
very hard bite, but it was hard
enough to hurt Old Mr.. Toad. Then
that young Chuck wished he hadn't.
He dropped Old Mr.. Toad in a
hurry. You see Old Mr.. Toad has
q kind of poison which he uses
only when he is in pain and which
has no effect unless it is taken
into the mouth. There It is most
uncomfortable. Old Mr.. Toad used
it on that young Chuck. So the
young Chuck learned another les
son-the lesson that people are not
always as harmless as they look.

The habit of using the smallest

The small potatoes from a good hill

And some, indeed, have adopt.

The morbid spirit which mis-,

II would not pick out for my
sons wife girl who had been
reared to be a spender because I do
not wish to see him sold into slavery
for life to dry goods merchantsand
milliners and dressmakers.
Still less would I pick out for a
wife for him a girl who had much
money of her own, for no fate is so
cruel as that of the poor husband
of rich woman. He is bound to
become a parasite upon her, and to
have no more authority and rece We

that even a moderate income is in
haustible and they squander it like
water. They've never had anything
to save, so they have no habits Of
thrift, and it is so wonderful to them
to be able to buy what they desire
that their wants have no limit.
ALSO, the man who marrles a poor
girl has her family to sport, at

to get what she desired and so she
has learned how to handle money
She makes the kind of a wife who

II would pick out for my son 9
