you would take the blue ribbon in any housekeepers' contest and how it hap pened was more than she could imagine At first when she came to visit you she secretly thought you had cleaned up for the occasion and broke your neck while she was there, but after she found out she never could catch you in disor- der she concluded you were a reformed character.
 And beaux! That a daughter of yours, said you to me once and many times, should resort to such dishonest subterfuges was a matter of great sor- row. Ii I had promiser to go some where with that prune Artie Choke and then got splendiferous invite from Ted Duzzens, who is fought over by all the girls and so remembered that self preservation is the first law of nature and phoned Artie that I had developed an ulcerated tooth or smallpox, you nearly passed away from grieving over my degenerate nature.

You explained that you'd die sooner than talk to Lemuel a whole evening and, anyhow, you were going riding with Bobby Broke, who was waiting for you around the corner.

Oh, can't begin to tell you the things I learned at Grandmother Longsack's this time and it has done me so much good!

 But if you marry him, don't
 try to teach him table etiquette or
 correct his grammar. Take him
 "as is,' as the shipping manifests
 say. No man marries to get
 critic on the hearth, or desires
 schoolma'am for a wife. If your
 husband has it in him to lean,
 he will pick things up by himself.
 And remember that some of the most polished men in the world were once rough diamonds. DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear. Dorothy Dix7-I want to ask your advice about what to do under shellfire. I am single man of thirty. one and have met woman who is about forty-one, but who has never married. She is always talking to me about how much money she could make II she had an active young fellow like me for a partner. But she says we would have to get married, as that is the only way she would be sure I would be honest with her. This woman is al ways bragging about what a great and wonderful family she comes from un til she bores me to death. I do not want to marry her, but it looks like e good business opening for me. What do you think? E. s,
 : Answer: Fly, son, fly, while the
 flying is good. The highest board
 a man ever pays is when he mar
 ries for a home. If you marry
 this woman, you will be nothing
 but an errand boy who will have
 to work for his board and clothes
 for an employer who bosses his
 every move inside and outside of
 working hours. DOROTHY DIX.

 The worst feature of this nagging is that it grows on her as she grows older, and am at my wits end to know how to break the speel and change her dis position. I have dignity and cannot stand these petty family squabbles, and I shall be deeply grateful to you for any suggestions about how to handle the situation.

HENPECKED HUSBAND.

Answer: I fear that it is only in story books that people change their dispositions and the selfish become unselfish, the mean be- come kind, gentle and tender, and high tempered turn meek and pa tient. In real life that miracle is seldom, if ever, wrought, because, most of us are so self-conceited that will never admit to a fault, so we have no chance of improving ourselves.

I couldn't say word back to you because your dresser is always horribly in order and you hang everything up on hangers squared off exactly north by south!

''The society for the destruction of something or other was to meet at her house that afternoon and the girl who marcels her hair never got there until 1 o'clock and grand mother was fused to pieces.
