NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

A WIFE'S life is full of sur
"A prises!
She is always discovering some
new and delightful trait in her
husband, of which she was never
aware.
She Is always surprised:
To see his chivalry flower and
flourish in public, long after 1t
has gone into state Of coma
around the house.
To observe the alacrity with
which he will spring up TO offer
his seat in a street car. to q
woman with a baby, or even to a
nice old lady or a very pretty girl
when she has to pry his feet off
the stuffed rocker at home, so
that she can sit in 1t.
To see him stop the car, cheer
fully hasten to the assistance of
two women motorists in distress
and toll at jack in the broiling
sun--when she has been begging
him for week to tack up the
rose vine on the piazza.
To see him smile indulgently
and joke with the pretty waitress
who brings his soup cold and his
steak twenty minutes late-when
she reflects on his injured ex-
preston at being asked to carve
a perfectly broiIed fowl with a
dull knife, at his own table.
To see him rush to restore a
lost package or q dropped glove
to a strange blonde in a red hat
when she has to use all her wiles
to lure him to pick up his own
soiled linen and drop 1t in the
clothes hamper.
To see him tenderly and So
licitously carrying the wraps and
bags of a departing woman guest
and carefully packing them in the
car-when she remembers his re-
bellion at being asked to tote his
own shoes to the closet or to carry
a towel from the bedroom tt the
bath room.
To observe the absorbed interest
with which he listens to the chat
ter of the woman next to him at
a dinner party and the heartiness
with which he laughs at tn: seven.
year.old jokes of his hostess
when she recollects that he has
not answered her last ten ques-
tons.
To see him spring forward to
raise the stubborn umbrella of
some totally unknown woman in
a rainstorm-when she has been
patiently waiting three weeks for
him to raise the piazza awnings
at home.
No. indeed! Nobody Is so sur.
prised at mans gallantrY or so
astoundingIy thrilled at his bursts
of chivalry as his own wife!
The best view of a husband is
from the outside; and the only
way for any woman to get

charms, il to take him out and
watch his public performance.

coming out of the age of gods
like4men (who were imaginary
into the age of men-like- gods
(who are reaD. Philosophy in
it's NEUROLOGICAL mood imagined
the miracle. but science only
could perform it.
Think of it! Only some six
years after our American Wright
made Europe rub it's incredulous
eyes as he flew under the caves
of the Pyrenees, and Bleriot
awoke England like an ants
nest poked with a stick by flying
across the English Channel and
alighting with his monoplane as
gracefully as a butterfly on the
lofty chalk cliffs of Dover, the
nations were making war with
airships!
And now we have post routes,
freight routes and polar explora-
ton routes, laid out in the blue
roof Of the world. 1t has become
almost too commonplace to be
spoken of or written about. The
announcement of an Amundsen
trip to the moon would not
now greatly astonish some peo-
pie. Enthusiastic volunteers
would be found ready. Already
some are asking why could it
not be done. Imagination - lead
ing the way, as it did before.
But human flight Is only
part of the sudden miracle. We
dor not have to consult history
to learn when man began to
speak and to sing across the
seas and over the mountains, and
to make his voice audible round
the world. 1t all lies within
our own experience. And still
the avalanche of wonder is COM
ing down upon us.
This same fortunate generation
has seen the birth and develop
ment of the automobile. Nobody
before us had experienced the
thrill of skimming up a steep
hill, and onward and up to the
mountain tops with the speed of
the wind. The man at the wheel
feels himself to be a kind of god
His finger has become a magi-
clans wand, and with a touch
of it he controls nature. lie

putting on a little more power
as he comes to the crest of the
hill, he could make the machine
sail over the valley beyond. 1t

heart failure at the steering wheel
of his auto near HaZeltOn Tuesday
night while enroute from Hazelton
to Temvik, where he was taking Mr..

the latter.
Noticing that the car was steer ring
off the grade, Mr.. Shafer, who was
in the rear seat, tapped Gottleb on
the shoulder and told him he was

but stiffened, and in doing so, press
cd the gas accelerator with his foot
and alth ough he had been slowing
down, the motor at once speeded up
and the car plunged into the ditch

Peop'e Present Splendid
Play at RialtO

Sally Lunn' a, bright, two-act COM
edy, was presented at the Rialto
theater last night by the young peo-
pie Of the McCabe Methodist Episco-
pal church in highly credita BILE
manner to an audience which showed
generous appreciation. The bright
dialogue Of the play was well handled
throughout by the members Of the
cast. who showed the carotid tutelage
of Mrs. Alfred Dale. The me,,,btrs
were well selected for their parts
Miss Mabel Nathan, in the leading
role of "Sally Lunn", or Mrs. John
Randolph, was given much applause
for the capable manner in which she
took the difficult role. which repre-
scented her much of the time US a
suffering girl concealing her iden-
tity. Alfred Dale as Leo Randolph,
high school student. also carried
an exceedingly difficult role in
splendid fashion. -
The plot of the play revolved
around the unexpected wedding Of
John Randolph to Sally Lunn."
She arrived home after honeymoon
and Mr.. Randolph was called away.
Leo was planning to 90 to party
and "Sally Lunn" decided to dress as
a young girl and accompany him,
since he had no partner. But as they
were about to leave members of the
family began to descend upon them.
There came Majorie Randolph, stu
dent at Smith College, a part taken
by Miss Esther Winter in charming
fashion. There followed Mrs. Pene-
lope Winslow, sister of Mr.. Ran
dolph, characterized by Judith Rue

Harry Cawthorne. Mrs. Randolph, or
Sally, could not disclose her identity
while getting ready to go to party
with her step-son, while wearing
childish clothes. Mr.. Randolph, ac-
cording to newspapers, lost a bag
containing valuable papers while in
New York. Majorie Randolph had in
fun answered matrimonial adver-
tisement, and met the man in cafe
in New York, but fled precipitously
from the fellow, who happened to be
Martin Glynn, a friend of her broth
err, visiting at the house. Many COM
plications arise during which the
family believes "Sally Lunn" is de-
tectve, and she takes this role until
things are cleared up in the end.
The play was given for the purpose
of raising money to pay for song
books. Furniture used on the stage
was furnished by Webb Brothers and
the Hart, Schaffer and Marx suits by
Bergeson and Son.
