NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE

The Monday Roast

ITO the mind of q normal girl,
wedding bells and an eligible
bachelor are just as inseparable as
sleigh bells and Christmas.
In mans philosophy, It is just
about as logical for woman to
blame him for getting tired of her
as it is for her to blame him for
having red hair or prominent
nose.
Most divorces who have tried
the narrowing uncertainties OF
free.lancing in love for few
years, come back to the security of
the marriage contract and sign on
the dotted line with a grateful
sense Of relief.
A woman begins to think Of
Christmas gifts early in October
but a man doesn't even START to
think of them until after twelve.

Who says that men have &C.
complished greater feats than

made fools out Of women since
time immemorial, perhaps-but
women have made men out OF

You can't make over an old love
or an old frock that has been
worn threadbare in spots; the sal
wage is too trifling to make the
iob worth while.
The honeymoon is not really

as great numbers as mems.
Are tailors, then, paid so much
less than seamstresses that 1t Is
nossible for the store to give
free tailor service? A brief sur
yev OF the wage scale for tailors
and seamstresses will prove that
II is not SO. Much greater skill
is required to do the tailoring on
mems clothes than to make the
simpler alterations on womens
garments. It takes almost no
skill. and very little time, to hem
the modish narrow skirt-but the
prevailing cost of such service
is 81. sometimes more. Yet the
elaborate refitting of a mans
coat is done free.
Then are men easier to fit than
ladies? Look 'em over for your
self world. Particularly when
they're strutting their stutf IN
bathing suits. Would you IKE
TO fit a suit Of tweeds to that
array of humps and hollows?
Wen say you wouldn't. When It
comes to strange and varied con"
tours, the female Of the species
has nothing on the male. In
fact. she hasn't as much. For
most of our female contours
aren't even covered, much less
fitted.
Is the price of mems clothes
then, so padded that it will
cover alteration costs? This
hardly seems consistent with the
standards of honesty and intelli-
gence upheld by modern busi'
ness.
Or does this discrimination
exist because it can be put over
on the ladies whereas it would
be impossible to put it over on
the men? / don't like that
answer--do you? I don't believe
that it can be true. 1t would be
too stupid and shoddy a trick.
And Big Business, whatever
it's faults, isn't stupid or

Then what. IS the answer?
There must be a reason and I'd

is some good reason for 1t.
Big Business has become very
intelligent proposition. 1t knows
the value Of public good will. 1t
makes every effort to win ana
retain that good will. 1t realizes
that there can be no lasting
profit for the seller unless the
buyer also profits.
I have no Pollyanna illusions
that our big retailers are work

other class of humans are work

know that, taken by and large,
they represent the finest section

So, as one friend to another,
Mr.. Storekeeper, I'd like to know
about this practice of charging
for the alterations on women's
clothes while. at the same time.
you alter mems garments free.
This practice prevails in most
of the large cities Of the United
States. There are stores where
alterations are made free on
women's clothes, but they are

where a charge is made for al
tering mems clothes. although "a

At present Henry Jones may

or department store in the United

Churchill Rebuked
For Borah Retort

LONDON, July 27.-The action of
Winston Churchill, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, in retorting as he
did to a statement by Senator Will
lam f. Borah concerning the debt
settlement, has drawn the rebuke Of
the Loudon Times, which strongly
condemns such irregular, protracted
and even aimless controversy be-
tween two representatives of two
countries on the debt question.
The Times continues that such
controversies are utterly futile and
intolerable and it is even dangerous
to let such serious discussion de-
generate into a bandying of words
that become fusilage of mutual
nominations.
