declares that instead Of having de-
veloped as a housewife since the
preacher tied the knot, she is now
easily qualified to usurp the place
of the best African Idodger.
UngOvernable Temper.
IAN unreasonable and ungovern-
able temper" Is attributed TO How
ard Mason by his wife of three
years, who recites~ still further do
nestle assaults, naming practically
everything movable within the usual

1.-THE very first meal ever
cooked for my husband he found

enough sugar in the apple sauce"
Mrs. Mason sobbed today.
IT had cooked a chicken, fixed
all the vegetables, and had large

please Howard, but the more l
apologized for the lack OF sugar the
more enraged he became. | was
frightened. When he began to
swear terribly ! ran out of the
room. ] was just coming back when
he picked up the bowl in his hand
and threw it at the door"
Smeared by Apple Sauce.
Mrs. Mason says that she and
the bowl met in the doorway. APP
ple sauce, fresh and warm, spat-
tered the walls, her crisp, clean
gown, and the bowl left an ugly,
bruised swelling just below her left

me right for not knowing what l
was doing. He said / had wasted
all the ingredients of the apple
sauce because, having forgotten to
put in enough sugar, 1t couldn't be
eaten.
He is terribly stingy. Since we
have been married he has never
taken me to single place. can
count the number of times he has
taken me to a movie show on my
fingers. One dress and one pair of
shoes is all that my husband has
bought for me. II Is a lucky thing
that l had plenty Of good clothes
