Looks like you have taken down

husband to reach. You have made
things too easy for him. Some
natures are like that. They rest on

hustle more when he was young.
Raise your standard Of living. I be-
lieve he'll make increased effort If
he thinks 1t is necessary. Quit try
ing SO hard yourself and give him a

necessary to do so. This nav not
be the solution, but It's worth a

Take your choice.
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

One Of the most tragic figures in
our modern civilization, which
thrives upon flim-fam and show, Is
the small business or professional
man who must keep his family up
to certain standards of living which
somebody else sets for him.
The person who Is frankly poor
with sense enough not to be ashamed
Of 1t, is far more fortunate. He lives
simply and without affectation, en-
joytng the pleasures which he is able
to earn.
But the man who, upon less than
the wages of a skilled laborer, must
keep up certain appearances, buy
certain kinds of clothes for his fam
lily, give them opportunities for GER
tain kinds of social life-this is he
who merits our profound sympathy.
1t is not often the father who de-
cides what the family standards shall
be. This has always been a wife's
selects the clubs to join, who says
how many dinner parties shall be
given year, and decides into which
set the daughter shall strive TO enter.
Sometimes such wives, when they
are not sensible, make tragic mis-
takes. They buy clothing which
cannot be paid for they stock their
houses with new furniture bought
ION the installment plan. They are
always trying to fly a little higher,
while the poor husband must strain
every nerve to keep the wolf from
the door.
Sometimes a man cursed with
such wife tolls ceaselessly from
early youth to dim old age and gets
little thanks for It. He is ground
down to eternal monotony and per-
petual worry. Upon his brow sits
carking care. He Is like galley
slave chained to the oars with no
hope of release, save through death.
Many a husband like this goes
down to an obscure grave, martyr
to a wife who casts away every
semblance of wholesome love and
honest work, who has but one dream,
one aim, one goal, one god-keeping
up with the neighbors.
How many fine lives have been
offered a sacrifice to this poor ambi-
ton!

Cluny's generosity or his friendship.
With his own money he bought him
self a. decent new business suit and
hat, gruf1y repudiating Cherry's in
sistent offer of tailored-to-order din
ner clothes.
1--WE never had on Tuxedo in my
life, and I'm too old to put on dog
now at another mans expense" he
told her sternly, and not even Mar
tina Lanes fearful pieadings could
move him an inch.
Joy, who was to precede the bridal
procession as az flower girl, was
ecstatic over her own exquisite
frock of white chiffon. Faith found
her half a dozen times standing be-
fore the open closet door, staring at
it with adoring gray eyes, her thin
little hands clasped tightly as If in
prayer.
do I look pretty in It, Faith?"
she asked once, her small, sharp
face, framed in its bell-shaped bob Of
strawcolored hair, avid for praise.
"NIr. Cluny says I'm going to grow
up to be a beauty. Cora Parsons
says he's kiddin' me. Do you think
he is?"
"You look adorable in the new
dress, and Mr.. Cluny's not kidding
you for a minute. You have person
atty, darling, and more brains than
any of the rest of us. You're going
to make one of those dashing, smart
girls, the kind Of girl that just
pretty-pretty girls are frightfully
envious Of"

change her mind and not get married
