NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
Mixed Grin
BY Helen Rowland

Mixed Grill
MARRYING man to reform
IVA him is merely sacrificing Jour
life here on earth for a slim chance
of meeting him in heaven.
The modern girl likes her food,
like her lovemaking, so highly
seasoned that she can't tell the
real thing from the canned va
riety.
Every woman Is a martyr! II
she isn't suffering for man, she
is renouncing something for him.
And II she isn't doing either, she
is suffering because she has no
man to suffer for.
Somehow you can always tell
the man who is waiting Tor ms
wife, in the hotel lounge. from the
man who is merely waiting for
encouragement.
Mother may have had to walk
out with her beau, poor thing, in
stead of being whizzed away in a
high powered motor car--but there

walk back, ALONE.
A woman wants what she wants
when she wants 1t, but a man al
ways wants what some other man
wants, until he gets it--and then
he wants something else.
When you give thoroughly do
mesticated man plenty of rope, he
merely gets his feet all tangled up
and comes back and begs to be put
on a three-foot leash.
In every woman's life there are
little periods of loneliness-when
Love turns his back and Fate
clears the way for another Big,
New Romance.
Some day men will be signing
sentimentally for the Sweet old
fashioned flapper, who used to
make an art of petting and han
died a cocktail shaker so daintily."
There IL only one fool born every
minute they get married two
at q time.

ADVENTURES"

a lovely waist line and an ex.
quisite ankle, but it's nothing to
the circulation or the art de-
partment il he has. What's
mere male murderer? Almost
nothing at all.
Likewise Charlie, the boy
cashier, who has recently de.
camped with 100000. Does the
city editor detail the star re.
porter to gete the latest portrait
OF Charlie in a bathing suit?
Not so you'd notice it. Are we
sob sisters instructed to turn our
choicest psycho-analysis loose on
Charles dreams and completes?
Nay, nay, dearie.
Or when the West End Gang Is
on trial for beating up couple OF
old ladies and swiping the family
diamonds, do the jurymen wipe
away surreptitious tears at the
sight of their youth and beauty?
Do they receive offers of marriage
and movie contracts by mail?
Or does q nice tender hearted
judge give one look into their
soulful eyes and let 'ena off on
probation? No indeedy. They get
the pen, and a busy job in the
jute mill, whether they're blondes
or brunettes, palpitating or pi-
quaint.
So why, / ask, should this dis
elimination be shown to the
ladies'?
There may be those who deem
it compliment but personally !
think it's sign that they think
we girls are too feeble minded to
be held responsible for our acts.
and that only our shapes and COM
plexions count.

ST. GODDARD SEEMS
CERTAIN DOG WINNER

THE PAS, Man., Jan. 2S.-LP)---
Emil st. Goddard, young French
Canadian musher, was an overwhelm-
ing favorite today to win the final
lap Of the three-day dog derby here.
His dogs showed little of the weari-
ness Of the teams driven by the three
opponents remaining Of the five who
started the race Tuesday.
Billy Graysol, who withdrew dur
ing Wednesdays run, explained his
action by saying he could not keep
his dogs to the trail in a short lap
race because Of their training for q
straight-away course. His dogs re-
fused 10 squirt and were constantly
heading away from the beaten trail.
Earl Bridges. the boy musher of
The Pas and victor il the 1924 in
ternational dog derby at Quebec, col-
tinues in second running. He was
three minutes behind st. Goddard yes
terday.
With the others having little chance
to finish first because Of the splen-
did condition Of st. Goddard's dogs
indications were that the real contest
will come for second place. Ross Mox-
ley and Harry Olensky, both vete.r'
an racers, are pressing hard Tor the
honor. =,
Originally scheduled as a 12O-mile
race, the actual distance when the
race is completed will be 96 miles,

day-National Meet
at L. A.

Trusting that Old SOL. the one loaf
ing member of the midwinter pole
tournament committee. will contribute
a little cooperation. the committee has
given him one more day to get busy
and has scheduled the resumption OF
the tournament for Friday afternoon.
Two games were tentatively booked
for Thursday but disappearance of the
sun caused a quick change in plans.
As result, the Corps Area Headquar-
tiers first team will play the San An.
tonic Polo Club, and the Headquarters
seconds will meet the Houston Polo
Club in double-header at Kelly Field
Friday, starting at . o'clock.
The matches scheduled for Friday
will be played at Hartford Field Sat
urday. Wichita Falls against the Sec
ond Division Yellowiackets and Austin
against the Second Field Artillery
Brigade.
The idle poloists were thrilled at the
report Thursday that the L. s. Polo
Association would hold its national in
tercircuit tournament at Los Angeles
instead Of Philadelphia, enabling more
Texas players to attend and giving the
Southwestern Circuit winner here n
shorter trip. Fort Bliss, representing
the Southwest. went to Philadelphia
and won the 1925 national champion
ship.
Horse show plans are progressing
for February 6. although committee
members jocularly comment that they
are prepared TO hold the jumping events
on pontoon bridges and equip the
horses with water wings.
