Good Housekeeper and Not
Too Fat"-Must Be on
Job by Monday.

A quick wife is the burning de-
sire of Charley" Leight.
Good housekeeper and not too
fat is all that Charley" demands.
He explains that inasmuch as he
must have his mate by Monday he
has no time to bubble over
whether she be blonde or brunette,
tall or short.
Young, poor, but honest, and a
participation in the overseas fire
works" is the swift picture
Charley" paints Of himself.
Charley" twenty seven-year-old
bachelor of Glencoe, Md, explains
his urgency as follows:
w. M. Dulaney has offered him
the management of a twelve-acre
truck farm at Rock Hall, on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. The
offer is on a salary basis pro-
viding he be married, so that his
wife can take care Of the six
room bungalow.
Charley" sees good future in
the job. He believes he will be
able to work hard enough to earn
himself an interest in the place.
The site is very desirable in his
eyes, anu COIl"
veniently located near desirable
summer resorts. All he needs is
the wife, and, as we have said
before, he needs her by Monday.
While Charley" is a Baptist, he
will not bring in religious require
ments. He is five feet, six inches
in height, has crisp black hair,
and weighs 140 pounds. During
his high school term he played foot
ball and baseball, and could play
a little on the cornet.
II will take good care of her and
treat her NICE" he promises.
At present Leight is living in
Glencoe with his father and sister.
He says he was born in that Sec
ton of Maryland and, except for
the two years he was in the engi-
neer corps of the army, has lived
there since. He has read widely, is
much interested in good literature
and says he may try his hand at
writing.

BY FAY KING.

The average woman feels like
doing q BrOdie off a bridge and
hopes she goes down for the thlrd
time when she finds her first
gray hair.
After hunting for the first gray
hair like q needle i'm . haystack,
and finally finding it, she pulls it
out and lays 1t on black velvet
cloth and studies it until she. liz
sure that she is not turning
blonde but gray.
Then she rushes to the mirror
and looks for lines and then she
rushes to the bed, and throwing
herself down upon tne clean
white spread she turns on the
flood gates and after crying for
four hours she can save a trip
to the river; all she needs is q
bridge.
She swims back to the dresser
and looks again and then sits
down staring into vacancy and
feels that there is nothing left
for i'm her life!
MEN ACT DIFFERENTLY.
Now when the average man
finds his first gray hair he
doesn't pull it out. He takes his
mirror and looks at himself care.
fully and is decidedly pleased.
He remembers how many heroes
i'm best sellers have been described
as "a dark, weII-buiIt man about
forty, with an interesting face,
and his hair just grazing at the
temples"
Does he work? I'll say he
don't.
He starts out thinking that he
is getting handsOmer every day
and that all he needed to make
him positively irresistible was
