OPPOSITES

They say that "opposites attract"
the small man likes giant wife; and
1t may be that she, with tact, will make
a pleasure of his life. The fat man
picks q damsel thin when he would
have q blushing bride; their life may
be one good long grin, with .ove and
lilies on the side. But there's no rule
"opposites" don't hitch; they love
season. as they should. and then their
cart goes in the ditch. A friend of
mine is pretty tight, he hates to see
cent depart; he thinks of cash by day
and night, to lose a dime would break
his heart. well recall the Joyous day
when he and Julia Jinx were we4 she
was blooming girl and gay with
orange bloom upon her head They were
indeed a goodly sight: he was a tall
and stately man, gentleman by law
full right, undoubted leader of his clan.
And she was full of glee and mirth,
woman made for festive scenes,
biithe thing visiting this earth, with
soul remote from pork and beans. And
while I blessed them felt sure the
harmony was bound to die; their hap
piness could not endure, between them
was no common tie. Her pleasure was
to haunt the stores and buy whatever
goods she saw: and he went forth to
do his chores and save what money he
could draw. And soon the bride was
feeling sick, the marriage tie seemed
dread and grim; she used q crowbar
and q pick when she would get q dime
from him. And he was oftentimes up
reared, to say her conduct was a crime;
he pushed stern language through his
beard, and then perhaps dug up dime
What chance could such a marriage
know of being sweet and well behaved?
It blew up In blaze of woe without
the happiness they craved

improving In.LaWs.

Dear Mimi: The other day I over
heard an old lady saying that in all
her life she had never had words with
q single one of her husbands relatives.
1 am to be married next month, and
husbands family. Some Of them
like and some Of them I'd never
choose IS friends, not because they
aren't all right but because they're
so uncongenial. We have no tastes in
common, nothing really to talk about.
But suppose I'll have to see a good
deal of them all, so / may as well
learn to do 1t gracefully. But how?"
The best recipe for getting along
with in-laws is compounded Of three
parts sense of humor, three parts tact
and three parts desire to-piease. You
must check your critical faculty at the
door.
You must blind yourself consciously
to every unlovely trait in these, your
new relations. You must develop a
gimlet eye for their good qualities.
You must ladle out fiattery with a
generous hand
Try to forget that your husbands
Aunt Mary has the disposition of a
sofe-nosed bear, and be sure to praise
her very excellent cooking.
Overlook Cousin Margarets sly malice.
It will be easier to do so when you
realize that its origin lies in thwarted
youth and disappointed hopes.
Uncle Herberts wife prides herself ON
being the best-dresSed woman in town.
Ask her advice about clothes. You
needn't necessarily follow it.
Uncle Herbert himself is long
winded old bore, but an hour spent in
listening to his stories is time we'll en-
ployed It's so hard for him TO get an
audience that he'll repay your sacrifice
by singing your praises to the sky.
The trouble with in-laws. as with
ones own blood kin, is that one cannot
select them. They come ready-made.
wrapped and sealed--and one can like
them or lump them.
After all, they're a good deaf like
other people when everything is said
and done. It's chiefly due to the label
that we face them with such trepida-
ton. If you are determined to get
along with them. to make them like
you chat Is half the battle.
If more women entered marriage
feeling as you do the in-law DOGGY
would soon disappear. Good luck to
you.

Be careful not to draw the material

This sort Of embroidery is especially
appropriate for wool crepe, as the
stitches sink into the slightly rough
surface of the material.

MRS. JEAN HOOKER
 IN ASSEMBLY RACE KensinSton Woman Yields to
 Pleas, Seeks Nomination TOWN MEETING OCTOBER 6
Rededication Service at Berlin Church-Falcetti's Condition Im- proyed-Grange to Hold Whist Sales Agency to Open Branch.

Mrs. Jean Hooker of Kensington today officially announced her can- didacy for the republican nominal ton for representative from Berlin. Mrs. Hooker has made her decision after much forethought and careful consideration, she stated, having been urged both to enter the race and to abandon such an intention until the next election. She is the first woman to declare for the can- didacy from this district.
 Mrs. Rockers candidacy originat- ed entirely from external sources as she took her first steps in poli- tics at the urge of her friends, and it has been moot question whether she would enter her name. John J. McCabe withdrew from the race on Friday and there remain now only Mrs. Hooker and Pardon C. Hickey.
 Mrs. Hooker stated her platform simply as not embodying great promises. She did not avow to build any roads or new schools, as such pledges might too readily go unfill- ed, she said, but she did promise to MOTk lOT lIlS pest llleIeSlS u beI- lin as she saw them.
 The newly announced candidates career has many points of interest. She is 43 years of age and the mother of one child. Nancy Hooker. Her husband died four years ago. Mrs. Hooker volunteered in the hos pital service during the World war anad, although she did not go over seas, she is listed on the roll of honor at the Stamford hospital. She served through the flu" epidemic at Camp Devens. For the last three years she has been treasurer of the fifth senatorial district of the Wom- ems Republican association. She was recently elected vice chairman of the republican town committee.
 The old custom in the Berlin dis trct has been to choose from the three districts in turn and, since it is kensington's turn. this has been a strong tactor in Mrs. Rockers final decision, she says.
 Town Meeting Next Monday
 The annual town meeting will be held next Monday, the polls being open from a. m. to ? p. m. at the three voting places: the Town Hall in the first district; the T. A. B. hall at Upson's corner in Kensington, second district, and Community hall in East Berlin, third district. After the voting the annual business meet ing will begin at 4 o'clock.
 Consideration will be given for the first time in several years to the question of whether application will be made to the state highway com missioner for an allotment of $6,000, for which 2,o0O must be appropriat- ed by the voters ito raise the total to sS,O0O.
 There will be elected one assessor to fill vacancy for term of one year: one assessor to fill full term of three years; one member to the board of relief for a term of three years; three selectmen; two audi tors; three grand jurors; a collector of town taxes: seven constables; two registrars of voters for the town at large; three members of the school committee; two members of the school committee to fill vacancies Tor two year terms; and two mem
