sake. then a whole harem of wives

The most tragic mistake any girl
can make is to marry man TO re-
form him. / am quite aware that 1t
is an alluring prospect. a villain is
infinitely more fascinating than a
saint. and we feel so important at
the thought that little we can make
this bad, bad man into shining hero.
Lovely shudders go up and down our
spine when he declares that he'll
drink himself to death if we don't
marry him. But take friends ad-
viCe--let him.
As a matter of fact. he won't drink
himself to death at all. He'll simply
drink himself into blear-eyed. jobless,
soggy Swinishness, and gamble him.
self into whining parasite. It's far
better that he should do this while
a bachelor and without your fortunes
being involved.
Loneliness is a lovely alIbi. but no
one ever drifted into viciousness be-
cause he was lonely or misunder-
it because they were soft. and spine
less and selfish and lazy. And until
they get over that inward condition,
love and appreciation are wasted on
them. Some men do change after
marriage, but they change because
they themselves make up their minds
to change. They can change just AS
well before marriage. and should be
made to do so if the women who love
them have a particle of sense.
This idea that we can save someone
elses soul is tommy rot. 1t flatters
our vanity and gratifies our desire to
meddle and boss. 80 we advocate it.
But as a matter of fact. the only one
who can save your soul is YOU. And
if man is worthy of the name-if
he is in any way serious about the
love he protests. he'll do that job
before he involves another in his fate.
The man who puts it up to a young
girl to make him decent is proven
spineless. selfish cad by that very
desire.

in all his short life. This queer fell

be very busy. His back was bumped
up. and he seemed to be having trou-
would stop at what he was doing
and rest. Then he would hump his
back again and go through the fun
niest performance.
Then the young Chuck discovered
something so queer that he could
hardly believe what his eyes told him
really. was SO. This queer fellows
skin had split down the back and
was beginning to come off. Under
meath 1t was a new skin. While the
lows skin split down his legs and
his arms. and one by one he pulled
the latter out of the old skin.
This was astonishing in itself, but
what was more astonishing was the
fact that this queer fellow was ac-
his as fast as it came off. At last
he pulled the very last of it over
his head and stuffed it into his big
mouth. Then he gulped two or three
times anu tnat was the last of that
old skin. OF course, you have guessed
who 1t was. 1t was Old Mr.. Toad

"Ha, ha, ha"' laughed the young
Chuck. "Ha. ha. ha! You are the
funniest looking thing 1 ever saw!
Ho. no, ho! 1 never knew before

and swallow it."
At the sound Of that first laugh
Old Mr.. Toad turned and saw the
young Chuck for the first time. He
was indignant. He was indignant be-
cause he was being laughed at, and
he was indignant because the Young
Chuck had been so impolite as to watch
him change his clothes. He was so
indignant that right away he began
to swell up with anger. That made
him look funnier than ever. and. of
course, it made the young Chuck
laugh harder than ever.
What are you laughing at?" de-
manded Old Mr.. Toad. although of
course he knew perfectly well. "I
