Intermittent Reform

AY!' cried the man who had been SS quite sick, "Where've you put
 my cigar jar? And the cigarettes are goneI Was it lemon pie I smelled baking a little while agoy
 "Artemus," began the determined wife, laying aside her work and taking long breath, "the moment has ar rived for me to say a few things, and you might as we'll sit down and listen On several occasions you have grOaned upon bed of pain and looked upon the doctor as the only spot of light in a darkened world/ interspersing your moans with remarks to the effect that it was time you began to use sense and take care of yourself and that smoking was a pernicious habit and from then on you were to lead better and saneE life.
 "Why, you would ask fretfully, did I persist in preparing such rich food Didn't I know about calories and things like that, and here we were middle aged and ought to cut down our food intake by half at least! Leave off desserts, quit those heavy mayOnnaise salads, woman! A simple chop and lettuce leaf, followed by a ripe pear and a bit of cheese, was enough for anyone! Be sensible, for heavens sake The doc tor was quite right also in his remarks about cigars. It was frightful the habit a man got into of smoking one bunch of poison right after the otheri
 "Somehow your taste for cigars was changing and you didn't think you should want even the two he allowed you as fair average. One after break fast was nonsense, and it would be per fectly easy to forget the after-dinner smoke if you made up your mind to it. You had, in fact, long thought you'd just stop short, and this was a good time to do it. Please take away the broth Food did not appeal to you.

Listening In Or Foe

You didn't think you ever should care to eat again, especially.
 And when you got up for several days a perfect stream of delivery men lined up, at our doorstep. There would be a man with the case of bottled water you had decided you ought to drink always, and another with a new punch ing bag and still one more with q dozen cans of Pumble's Purple Prune Wheat, which was so good for the digestion. Yes, you wanted 1t every morning.
 You would wave aside the sugges- ton of your one smoke after dinner. Didn't comprehend that you had quit, were through, finished, ended with to- bacco? I didn't seem to take in all the things you said to me, really
 About six days later you showed aside your breakfast dish of Pumble's Purple Prune-Wheat and in a loud, strong voice said you wished I'd quit feeding you this sanitarium mush and would give you the nice crisp flakes you liked with plenty of cream and sugar Utter nonsense that a little sugar on your breakfast food was bad for you And real coffee instead of substitute. Wasn't that bottled water nearly gone ? We'll, set it aside or give it away or maybe somebody'd come visiting who liked lt,- but, as for you, good reliable hydrant water without any salt or any chemicals in it was good enough for you, and anyhow what was the sense of spending all that money?
 Wouldn't a large steak smothered in onions be an idea for dinner, and, say, 1t had been a long time since I had made cream meringue pie Stuff fed tomato salad with mayonnaise, too tomatoes were healthy. Where were the cigars? Oh, no, you weren't intend ing to smoke all that bunch l caught you putting in your pOcket-just the one the doctor said you could have but man feels foolish if he meets any one at lunch and has no cigars to offer him.
 i'I really thought by this time you were a trifle serious, but recognize old symptoms. You have been n sick man and put the cigars away and you can't have the pie for din"
 Say" cried the man who had been quite i'll, "I guess have sense enough to know how I feel. Those other times may have been foolish, but this was merely a most ordinary ,indisposition and I'm perfectly all right and smoke won't hurt me! What kind of pie was it she made if it wasn't lemonT"
 You can't beat it!' said the de- tcrmined wife as she got out the cigars. q don't see how there are ans men left alive on earth at all :"

My ideal girl is intelligent. She Is well educated. She reads worth while books and the papers, and she can carry on an intelligent con yersation.

My ideal girl will make a splen- did wife when she marries, but the man she marries will have to be a real man to win her and real man to hold her, for she will not belong to the doormat class of spouses. But to the man who wants a chum and not domestic slave, she will give love and sympathy and ten- derness and understanding that will make her truly . helpmeet.

Maybe that is why we fall SO hard for her when we do find her. But she never has on pants.

My Neighbor Says

Instead of heating jars to be filled or putting silver knife into them, just stand them on about four thick nesses of towel, wrung out of tepid water (not too dry) and fill with boil ing fruit.
 Every one should drink milk be- cause of the minefnl clements 1t con tains.
 Coffee stains on cloth or on any material are most difficult to eradi- cate unless treated immediately. Boiling water will remove them if the fiber of the material has not had time to thoroughly absorb the cof- fee. But if the stain is of long stand ing, equal parts of yolk of egg and glycerin applied to the spot and al- lowed to dry on is practically the only method of removing them.

 Nor does it make any difference whether my ideal girl Is blonde or bru- nettc, or betwixt and. between. l like them either way, and I like them plump, but not fat, because fat in young girl is the hall mark of a slothful mind and a lazy body. And l like them slim and willowy, but not the liying-skeleton kind who have starved themselves into cincip- tent anemia, and who will have nerv- ous prostation or tubeculosis by the time they are thirty.
 The chief beauty of my ideal girl is the beauty of health.
 She has the sparkling eyes, the clear skin, the strength and vigor that make her every movement joy to watch. She radiates youth and vitality, and that comes as near to being personal magnetism as anything upon which we can put our fingers,
 My ideal girl is always well dressed. She doesn't underestimate the value of clothes. She knows that n woman's frock and hat are the frame that sets off living pic. ture and palliates the faults of even a chromo, but she is not dress mad.
 Her skirts are never the shortest nor the longest, nor her bodices the thin nest. and before she adopts any style she considers well whether 1t will en' nance her charms or make her look like a figure of fun by revealing hitherto un' suspected defects In her anatomy.
 My ideal girl is womanly. She never apes the clothes, nor the man ners, nor the morals of men. She never tells off-colored stories. She
 doesn't swear nor drink, and wild
 horses couldn't drag her into q suit
 of knickerboekers, for well she knows that woman's trump card
 is her femininity, and when she / casts that into the discard she ls/ beaten.

My ideal girl is romantic, for a girl without sentiment is a flower without perfume. She dreams of her fairy prince, but she gives him the once over and puts his ere dentials through tho third degree before she gives herself to him.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-08

My ideal girl is competent. She takes no stock in the clinging-yine stuff. She has trained herself to some definite trade or occupation, and she is perfectly capable of mak- ing her own living and taking care of herself. She scorns to be parasite and claims for herself the independence that is the right of every human being.

nuestro problema en- sus distintos
aspectos Y conciliando las aspiracio-
mes e intereses de ambos pue5los,
tengo la absolute seguridad que Sc
encontrarfa la formula satisfactoria
que en- mi concepto es la de hacer
de Puerto Rico .un Estado no incor-
porado, bajo la bandera con la
ciUdadanfa Americana. Sostengo
personalmente esta formula, que
coincide en- 10 sustancial con la pos
terior1nente adoptada por el partido
Unionista; Y es la conclusion a que
he llegado despues de algunos amos
de estudio del derecho historic
Constitutional de los Estados Uni
dos, Y declare que no pretendo atri-
buirme originalidad nj paternidad
de la idea, porque ella ha sido hace
tempo esbozada por uno de los mas
distinguidos tratadistas Norte-Ame-
ricanos (Albert H. Snow-Adminis-
ttation of dependencies). Pero sea
esa u otra la conclusion que Sc
llegase es indudable que debe bus
carse el punto de coincidencia que
realmente existe entire Americanos
y Puertorriquenos, y esta es la base
para una solucion satisfactoria.
FL Post-Memorial de los Republi-
canos expresa el criterio de ese par
lido, pero acaso hubiera sido mas
correcto en- terminus diplomaticos
que tai memorial hubiera sido sus-
critic, sostenido por una comision
especial del partido Republican, re-
presentando directamente "a esta CO.
