A NICE lawyer man stopped for a
chat with a woman he has known
since year one. aIe is the sort of
lawyer who will get you divorce, if
your case is up to the standard and
along this line, but-all of us get dis
heartened once in while. which
doubtless caused him to burst out
with the statement that he was going
to get away from the job:
Men are all right. When man
wants a divorce he provides his rea-
son and proof to sustain his charges.
Then he shuts up While you put tine
case throughput a woman-Im all
mixed up this minute by woman
whose charges have fallen completely
through. The husband gives her a
good home. is fine provider, and she
admits he~is good to the children, but
he was too cold -blOoded for any wife
to live with She was young enough
to have another chance at happiness
and--So OH
II told her she had to have some
individual sample of cold bloodedness
to go on, before 1 could take her
case to court so, after dickering over
the. thing this morning in the hope of
getting some charge of personal cruel
ty she says to, me:
"I1l convince any judge. of the truth
of what / say. You listenste me, Mr..

and he put the boy on whaling ships
that went all the way to the Arctic
Circle. When he was grown he be-

North Pole, and-and-he had the
cruelty .to> tell me that that was the
the laappiest time of his life. You
couldn't expect any loving woman to
live with a ld-blooded man like that,
could you?' y Ill %.2>l.
After had taken the time and
trouble to prepare, her case and get IT
ready for action, she comes and tells
me a$foo1 thing like that, What about:
Peary and Scott and Greely and Byrd

but I'm SO mad at that woman. Well,
she said she didn't have to stand for
any of them. All she knew was that

"And l told her that was what she.
would have to do. And most women
are exactly likeSthat in one way or
another" @
The woman, having a queer pain in

A WOMAN has asked a question
which is hereby passed on:
will you tell me why have to pay
13 cents a pint. for raw milk while
paste0rtzea milk is only cents?
I'm the country where I used to live
you could pour a pint of milk in a
bowl and after a day 1t would sour so
that you could have clabber or cot
tage' cheese-but this pasteurized
milk will keep until it gets stale and
pallid-without turning acid, like
cow milk"
The woman who asked says she is
a housekeeper, and as there are many
in this town, and all OF
them must know about milk values.

bit of Lenten kindness and pass the.

Also, here is "a query from a lady
whose letter was showed under a
pile of papers until desk Cleaning
time came along. She inquiries about
this:
II know that your cat stories are
usually tragic, and the tale of the

Keever is. as 1t stands. Could you
not please find out If the little lost
creature ever came home, and spare
a couple of lines to let us know"
