Listening In On Foe

good time, dear," said Mrs. Waverly, regretting that she had never met Jes- sica. But" she reflected, II suppose can't expect to keep my 21-year-old baby tied to my apron string forever" | Mrs. Waverly noted with some con cern when the young man returned from the two days outing that he look ed tired. He was silent about his visit, and it was not until after comfortable dinner that she made any inquiries.
 "Why, yes. mother, had good enough time" answered Kenneth, tak= ing a book and establishing. himself rather definitely under reading lamp.
 Do you do much sketching, dear? thought maybe you'd have a little water color to show me"
 ''No, l didn't sketch any, mother"
 You were motoring, perhaps? Have the Higgses a car?"
 'Yes, but it was on the blink. I worked some on it.''
 You worked on car, Kenneth?"
 ''Oh, know I'm dumb-bell at any mechanics, but Mrs. Higgs was so sure l could find the trouble that I had to try. don't believe it was much worse after my hours tinkering."
 There's a little lake there, isn't there!"
 Yes, a pretty little pond. I wanted to take Jessica for a row, but Mrs. Higgs said the boat had to be painted before it could be launched. She hadn't been able to get man to do it, and she suggested that as was fond of paint ing I could give it coat. It was some job"
 "Then did you have your boat ride?" Mrs. Waverly's eyes twinkled.
 How could we go out in a freshly painted boat?"
 That's so, of course you couldn't. I suppose you didn't think of that"
 No, I didn't" admitted Kenneth.
 Il dare say you had delicious coun- try fare"
 .'Yes, it was good, of course. Mrs. Higgs said if Jessica and would pick the strawberries she would make shortcake for Sunday dinner. Jessica called me at o'clock because it seemed that we had to harvest the whole crop before it was time to walk to church.
 Gee, mother, I'm lame yet from my devotions to that strawberry bed. asked Jessica why it took so many for one shortcake and she told me that her mother was going to can all but two Of Lne DOAeS- we plCkeus ASh hioShSA thought it would be a real treat for me, a city fellow, to pick about twenty-nine quarts of strawberries. Some treat, I'll say! I kept hoping that Jessica would get tired and suggest stopping and when she didn't I decided that if it was an endurance test I wouldn't be beaten. But never expect to stand up straight again, mother"
 
 "Did you catch any fish, Ken"
 "Yes, Jessica and I caught about a dozen little perch from the rocks on the shore. When Mrs. Higgs came down to see if we had enough for supper she told me that the rule at her house was that whoever caught fish had to clean it. We didn't catch any more af- ter that"
 And did you clean those you al- ready had caught?"
 "Of course, I had to, mother. You know I never did care for fish, and like them less now that even. Do you know, mother, think Mrs. Higgs IS very strange sort of woman. She just seemed to want me to work all the time. I won't be in any hurry to go out to Higgs' Crossing again"
 II have an idea," remarked Mrs. Waverly sweetly, ''that she is a remark ably clever woman, Ken. l should like to meet her."

Keeping Him Busy

NOUNG WAVERLY'S mother had
 not been enthusiastic over her
 sons going out to Higg's Cross- ing for the weekend. Kenneth had met Jessica Higgs at a night school draw ing class and when he told his mother that Jessica had invited him to make a little visit to her home, to which she had returned, Mrs. Waverly hinted that it was rather unconventional to accept the hospitality of people he knew so slightly.
 But know Jessica very we'll" he protested "She wouldn't invite me if it weren't, all right with her mother. They're not stiff society people who would ever think. of the mothers sec onding the invitation. They are just nice, simple country folks, That's one reason I want to go"
 "Very well, Ken. I hope you have

If you are planning to plant New Zealand spinach, which should go in right away, by all means soak the seeds in water over night. They are very slow to germinate, and otherwise may be choked out with weeds or grass be- fore the young plants come up. Al though requiring some coddling at the beginning, New Zealand spinach makes very rank growth when once well started, for which reason the plants should stand at least two feet apart. Half a dozen plants will be sufficient for the ordinary family, as they renew themselves as fast as the leaves are removed. There are very few veg etables which will furnish so much food in so small a space.

Penelope has a set of rules to which she adheres and nothing can make her change them. One day she and some girl friends were out motoring. Their automobile broke down near a farm house which belonged to a young bach elor. The young bachelor asked the girls to come in and have some tea while tkeir automobile was being re- paired. Penelope became highly in- censed at the very idea of being asked into a mans home. The fact that there were several in the party made no difference. She made everyone un- happy, including herself, by giving her reasons why she would not go in and the others finally accepted the yoTMg mans hospitality and left Penelo4 alone.
 As was usual in such cases, she felt very much hurt at their disregard of her feelings and the other girls were angry at her for trying to make some thing unpleasant out of an innocent affair.
 It is commonly thought that Pene- lope will be an old maid. She IS 50 hard to please and so puritanical that she is very unpopular with the opposite sex. She never makes spontaneous move. Every act is thought out before hand And her extreme formality is not conducive to good times.
 Perhaps some day a young man will come along who will force her to lose her suited self-consciousness and make her view life from a broader outlook.
 But now she is type.

One housewife always uses a scis- sors to trim the rind from ham or ba- con. She finds it far superior to a knife.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-07

Answer:
 Certainly not. Any day is a good day to get married, provided you have picked out the right man, It isn't the day or the week or the month that counts. It is whether he is kind and generous and sym pathetic and understanding, and you are broadminded and sensible and good cook, and you are both very much in love with each other and are determined to make your marriage a success.
 The signs and omens that count at a wedding are those that we make for ourselves, and we make or mar our fortune. There's no luck about 1t.

We Women
PensIone. Tha Prndish Girl

Pbn6IOp6, IHb FTuuISH UHH NID you ever know a girl who was ready to recoil at the slightest A> provocation and who went through life continually afraid that not only her conduct, but the conduct of her friends would be misunderstood? ].
 Penelope is like that. She goes about trying to avoid trouble so ostentatiously that it continually leads her into embar- rassing situations. She doesn't do this and she doesn't do that for fear it will not look we'll and the result is just the opposite of what she desires. It drives her friends away from her. They make fun of her still ways.
 She is a type.
 She is the Prudish Girl.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-07

Answer {:
 The only cure for a temper like that is brute force, and unfortu- nately our super-civilization does not countenance using that. So the more of gentleman a man is, the less fitted he is to deal with a virago wife.

IesS IltIeu ne IS 10 0eaI Wltn virago wife.
 The trouble with us all is that we are towards. We loathe scenes and strife and arguments and so we en- courage the high-tempered to give full rein to their passions.
 A child with violent temper soon finds that it can get whatever it wants by kicking and screaming for it. It takes so much strength and nerve and courage to cope with high-tempered youngster that the parents give up the attempt and let it go it's way un- checked. When it is grown it has es- tabllshed reputation for being hard to get along with, and everybody avoids rousing it as the easiest way of keep ing the peace. Then it gets married and terrorlzes some perfectly innocent man or woman, who will meekly submit rather than be in a perpetual wrangle or publicly humiliated.
 It has been my hard lot to be intimately associated with several high-tempered people, and l never knew but one who was cured. This was man who had literally killed two sweet, gentle, lovely women by his ferocious temper. He mar r!ed third wife, a red-headed wo- man with temper so much more violent than his that she literally terrorized him into becoming a mild and gentle individual.
 If I were you, Worried Illus band, l should tell my wife that I was convinced that she had form ot insanity, and I would have an alienist give her a thorough exami- nation. Perhaps the prospect of being locked up in a lunatic asy- lum would make her control her self, if nothing else will.
