''No girl wants to go with a man who
doesn't talk about her exclusively. You
see, girls realize that after they are
married their husbands will eternally be
reading the newspaper or fixing the
furnace so it is only natural that they
should demand all the attention they can
get beforehand.

times and each time he had talked all
the while about himself, what he
thought, ate, liked, disliked read. smoked
and wanted, decided he would not do.
He was tall enough and in fact, he was
enough Of everything, incluing himself,
Of which he was considerably too much.
Why, Casey was so interested in him
self that after he had been married to
girl ten years he wouldn't be in the
least acquainted with her, because he
would never have taken time off to
inquire what was her favOrite flower
and that sort of stuff.
And as for Jenkins Pullback, who
used to drop in for Sunday tea SO often
and was so. much of fixture that sew
eral other men tried to hang their hats
on his outstanding ears and nose, he
was too dumb. He didn't talk at all. He
would come and sit and practically say
that here he was, which was all that
was necessary for any properly CRATE

person who wishes to indulge in celery
should select an eating place with the

band who insisted on eating celery in
the solemn stiffness Of the family din

father agreed, giving up the situation as
too complicated for feeble tottering in
