NEGOTIATIONS OF A WIFE
When Love Grows Stale.
By HELEN ROWLAND

Consider the punishment of the
Hcart-Collector, my Daughter. For,
all his days are WEAKNESS, and all his
loves are rcpetitiOns.
Alas. alas, sigheth the Heart Collec-
tor, what profit hath a man of all
the moneys whercfOr he hath laborcd,
when there is no wine for which to
spend it?
What joy hath he of all the women,
wherewith he hath dallied, when there
Is no novelty IN them?
Verify, verify, one filtration is as
stupid as another, one joke is rs stale
as another, one pctting party is as
flat as another, one kiss is rs SAVIOR
less as another. and of women there
are only two kinds:
Those who are brittle and athletic
and thos" who are imprcssiOnable
and synthetic.
Those who wear hOrn-rimmCd spec
tacIcS and talk politics and sCX-and
those who wear rolled stockings and
talk baby talk.
Those who call me "Pal'-and
those who call me Darling"
Those whom I do not dare TO kiss
and those whom 1 do not dare to stop
kissing.
Those who bore me to evaporation
and those who frig1tcn me to des-
peration.
Those WHO are married and unavail-
ablc-and those who are single and
inescapablc.
Those who trust in soothsnycrs and
believe all that | tell them-and those
who trust no man and believe nothing
that l tell them.
Those who seek to reform me-and
those vino seek to deceive me.
