brought up in manner which
shows the height to which human

None of the children had q

nearer to criminality lies the

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.
So This Is Marriage!

so This - Marriage!
THE trouble with modern mar
i riage Is that most people
rush into It the moment their
emotions begin to bubble, with.
out waiting to see IL they are
going to "jell."
Alas, how easily q man IL fed
up!' Nothing tastes so good to
him, upon his return from a fish
ing trip. as an honest broiled
steak; and nothing looks so good
to him, upon his return from a
lingering honeymoon trip, as his
office desk!
A home, like a poet, Is
CREATED, not made. No won-
an can make" a, home out Of
sticks OF mahogany and bolts Of
cl1intz, IL the INSPIRATION is
not there!
Love will always find a way!
It's finding the way OUT of it
that is so painful, difficult and
expensive for most of US!
There would be far more sweet
ness and light in the average
marriage, if husbands and wives
would keep individual tubes of
tooth-paste and subscribe to sep
arate newspapers. Just because
you have agreed to share your
joys and sorrows is no reason
why you should have to share
the talcum and the comic pages!
Nothing takes the heart out of
a tired business man, at the end
of a day, like the sight Of his
evening clothes and dancing
pumps, all laid out for him.
Now that Paris has decreed the
highly polished back for evening
exposure, even the successful
business girl will find it comfort
ing to have a little husband
around the home.
The modern girls notion Of an
ideal husband is one who can be
confined to a breakfast.nook. a

satchel and one hook in the hall

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 20 P.-
Common stock of the Ford Motor Car
Co. OF Canada, the only enterprise Of
Henry Ford in which the outside pub
lie now has an interest, opened on the
New York Curb Market today with a
block of $50 shares at 800 a share. an
overnight gain of s65. The stock had
sold as low as $393 a share earlier in
the year.
Recent accumulation of the stock,
which ordinarily changes hands in lots
of 10 to % shares, has been stimulated
by expectations of large earnings
through the sale Of the new Ford car,
which is being placed on the market
this week. Yesterday 500 shares
changed hands between COL and 635,
the top and final price representing
net gain of $45. Earlier in the SUM-
mer weekly transactions in the issue
ranged from 200 to 1000 shares.
