MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
Cold Cuts
-RY Helen Rowland

Cold Cuts
"DLA TONIC FRIENDSHIP,
i these days, means that you've
only let the man kiss you for a
few hours, every evening, just to
brighten up his summer.
Middle age IL the point at which
you can't quite decide whether to
take a mans "flattering nothings"
as a joke, an insult or a compli-
ment.
Alas, this is the time of year
your bathing suit begins to look
a little faded and slightly sprung
in the broad sunlight.
The old-fashioned girl had a
hard time trying to avoid doing
anything that would get her talked
about; the modern girl, poor thing,
has a harder time trying to do
something sufficiently new and
startling to get herself talked
about.
No man ever got tired OF PUG
suing a girl; Il is only after he has,
OVERTAKEN her that he. begins
to feel that touch of lassitude.
In every normal woman's life
there are those blue, depressing
mornings, when she gets disgusted
with the color of her hair, decides
bitterly that she Is "nobody's little
girl" and swallows her coffee
with q gulp of self-pity. This is
the dark hour in which her In
feriority Complex il making big
whoopee and tap-dancing all over
her vanity.
A man will swallow your flat
terry whole, but your criticism has
to be diplted with honey, fed to
him through tube and followed
by a lollipop.
Many a man never can tell when
his wife is cooking dinner until he
smells something burning.
Every time a woman is disil-
lusioned by a man. another star
goes out of her heaven--and the
world looks little darker.

CUSTOMER MUST
 PAY FOR FUR COAT
Court Rules for Connecticut.
 Furriers, Inc, in Suit

Counter claims failed to have an effect in city court cases yesterday afternoon and in a decision filed today by Judge Stanley J. Traceski judgment was given for the plain tiff.
 Miss Ann McAdams of Manches- ter purchased a fur coat from the Connecticut Furriers, Inc. in July, 1927, and after she had it for about four months she said she was dissatisfied and returned it. It was claimed that she received an other coat. She agreed to continue payments for the new coat which was to cost the same as the first.
 In three weeks the coat ripped in three places and had to be repair ed, she claimed. She refused to pay the balance and when the Connec- ticut Furriers, Inc. brought suit for S160 she brought a counter action for s15O through Attorney James A. Curry of Hartford.
 Judge Traccski gave a decision for s123.20 for the Connecticut Furriers, Inc. Attorney Maurice w. Rosenberg represented the plain tiff
 In the second counter claim T. C. Smith X Sons was given deci- sion for $10O.25 in a suit against Ackman G. Cargill of Hartford as the result of an automobile acci- dent at the intersection Of Boule- ward and South Whitney street. Hartford. The defendant brought counter claim alleging that the driver of the Smith car was re- sDonsibIe for the mishap.
