Surely 1t is unsound to deny
the woman who loves a S25-a.week

Surely 1t is folly to ask a woman
to wait ten years for a man to
make enough money to marry her
when by joining forces in their
earnings they could find the nor

Surely it is absurd to say that
a woman who plays the piano to
amuse herself may go on amusing
herself after marriage, but that
the woman who draws for the
magazines must put down her
pencil when she takes up the Job
of homemaking.
The home and children of the

That reminds me of a dog I

One day went to call on my
friend and was surprised not to
hear Colonel bark when I rang
the doorbell.
where's Colonel?" asked
when my friend came to the door.
"Colonels gone" said his own
err sadly. THE neighbors told
me that a street-organ came
through town and that one Of the
tunes it played was My Old Ken

Sure enough, there In front NJ
the house the postman had de.

to a post and looking very, very
sad. My friend stopped the car
and jumped out.
How Colonel wagged his tail
and barked and squirmed around

almost burst with joy.
My. friend rang the doorbell

door, my friend said:

Ralph smiled at me in sympa-

boys expressions. And I found
myslef feeling vaguely srelieved
because Betty had arrived before
me.
I fitted my key into the lock.
Ralph swung the door open and
let me pass before him. AS he
followed me into the foyer flung
out a gay:
"See, I'm both 'companied and

There was something wistful in
