 Assistance is Summoned.

Peter Swanson of S2 Hillcrest avenue may have been playing trick on his wife yesterday morning when he attempted suicide, hanging himself for awhile, but it caused much anxiety to Mrs. Swanson, who told the story to Policeman Charles Mccarthy.
 According to Mrs. Swanson, she did not know what to do when she saw her husband swinging with a robe about his neck. However, she went in search of doctor, deciding that he might need the services of one. When she returned home her hus- band was gone, as was the rope which she said was around his neck. The police were notified later that the missing man had returned to his home.

COULD DO WITHOUT THEN

All readers of "Life'' doubtless remember a series of
drawings which ran in that magazine called, "People We
Could Do Without" These drawings impressed and amused
me and prompted my thought tWomen We Could Do With
out Let me give you a few word drawings.
The whining woman. For such a one the day of the soup
is either too cold or too hot. 1t doesn't matter much which
just so long as she has something to whine about.
The gossiping woman; whose loosely hung tongue breeds
discord and spreads trouble.
The jealous woman; jealous of her husband if he is more
than passably agreeable to any other woman, and jealous of
her neighbours children if by any chance they surpass her
own in beauty or knowledge.
The woman with a sarcastic tongue whose opinions, criti-
cisms and general conversation is always wasplike and cut
ting.
The loud woman-loud of manner and loud Of dress. Her
high pitched strindent voice is as dscordant as her flashy,
snowy appearance.
The ~ told you so'' woman-the know it all. Whatever
happens this type always knew it would. How aggravating
and tiresome she is!
The nagging woman. Constantly she nags and scolds her
children with Of course no beneficial results. Her husband
she bickers with and picks at until he is driven perhaps to
the 'other woman"
The spoiled woman. She may be good to look at, but she
is hard to live with. Idolized, pampered and fused over, she
is the quintessenoe of ~selfshness.
The cold-hearted woman. She is so apt to be scheming
and calculating. Marbelized affections seldom carry much
charm. She may possess. the head qualities but never the heart
qualities. Are not red roses more beautiful than white?
