In public school recently the chill.
dren were called upon to write an es-
say, and at the appointed time little
Hugh submitted an effusion on the
ark, In which he made the statement
that Noah fished one day for about
FIVE minutes.
When the teacher looked over the
composition she was not little puz
zled. She couldn't understand why
anybody fond of piscatorial sport
should give up in SO short time.
"Hugh," she remarked looking up
from the essay, ''you say that Noah
fshed for only five minutes?"
Because" was the prompt explana-
ton of Hugh. ''he didn't have but

 All right I shan't tell you another word"
 Then I'll tell you. The girls all fell for this sheik with the patent-leather hair, and you almost did--but not quite. And he, asked you for your class pin and you almost let him wear it, but not quite, and the real reason why you did not was that Chick had asked you first and you had turned him down. What happened next;'
 Who told you?' Gretta's voice was as blank as her face. s
 T guessed. We'll, what did happeng'
 He'd been playing around with all the girls--lating with a different one every night, but not rushing anybody especial Then today he walked into French class, and when we saw his sweater was almost passed out. He was wearing twenty class pins, Bobby. Every girls in the junior class but me. "

 Now, Bobby, don't go off half cock ed. It was an awfully conceited thing to do. But it's funny, really. The girls had it coming to them-if do say it. They were so easy, Bob.

Of course, they're perfectly furious at him now, but do you know that every single one of them told me in private last week that she knew Dirk was going to date her for the prom?'
 Well, he can drag every Jane in the school to the prom if he wants to, for all the opposition he'll have. Wait till the fellows hear this !"

fingers to the bone to support her and give her every luxury that he can pos sibly afford. No. The man she didn't marry would have had infinite under standing and intuition, and he would have known that no matter how fat and middle-aged a woman gets, she still wants her husband to tell her that he is madly,, frantically in love with her, and that she still holds the wand of en- chantment for him.
 She really persuades herself that
 the man she didn't marry would have spent his time holding her hand and making sizzling love to
 her, and that with him matrimony would never have turned from an gels food into mere bread and but ter. -. And she is sure that the man she didn't marry would never have been grum and grumpy and grouchy and un- reasonable. He would never have to be wheedled and cajoled and worked into doing the things he shoHld do and leaving undone those he should not do. He would never bury himself in the paper of an evening and merely grunt when spoken to. He would never have to be bullfed into taking her to places.
 On the contrary. he would always be ray of sunshine in the house
 He would save his most entertain ing conversat ton, for home consump- tion, and after a hard days work at the office he would just love to put on his evening clothes and take his wife out to dine. and dance at some smart cabaret.
 The man she didn't marry, she is cer- tain, would have a great gift of money- making. He would shower pearls and limousines and Paris. frocks upon her. and they would live in a grand house. with retinues of servants, and vibrate between Europe and Palm Beach and palatial country estates. She wouldn' t have to skimp and economize and work and do without things as she does now.
 Oh, life would be so different if she had married the man she didn't
 marry, and she mulls the thought
 of 1t over and over in her mind,
 until she forgets that it is all a
 dream instead of a reality and that fairy princes do not exist outside
 of fairyland.
 Perhaps most women have this sort of castle in Spain to which they flee when the cantankerousness of husband and the strenuosity of domestic life bear too heavily upon them, and it is harmless enough diversion, when the man they didn't marry is nothing but vague ideal of their desires.
 But when, there is some particu- lar man that woman cared for
 more than she did for the man she
 married, it is another story. Then
 she is apt to fall move deeply in
 love with him after marriage than she was before marriage, and to re-
 gret him with never-dying regret.
 just because she is never disillu-
 stoned about him, and she can en-
 dow him with every charm that
 ravishes her fancy.
 For. the only perfect husband is
 the man you did marry.

MyNeighborSays

When it is necessary to repaint bathtub first rub it with sandpaper or pumice stone. After this apply two or three coats of bath enamel which will adhere much better when the surface is roughened. In order to preserve the paint when the bath is in use be careful to turn on the cold water before letting hot water run into it.
 To whiten cotton cloth, wash it with soap, but do not rinse before spreading on the, grass to bleach. Rinse after a few days and repeat, if necessary.
 Iron pillowslips lengthwise instead of crosswise if you wish to iron the wrinkles out instead of in.
 Rugs and carpets should be turned around every six months where there is much wear. Constant turning in this way causes them to wear evenly.
 To cool a hot dish in a hurry, place it in vessel full of cold salt water.
 If postage stamps have become glued together, lay thin paper over them and run hot iron over them. The muciIage will not be hurt
 The refrigerator should be thor oughly scrubbed frequently with a strong solution of hot borax water and left open to air.
