Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen ROULQnd

DETECTION or a wife's folly that
hurts. 1t is the bitter knowl-
edge that you have been laid
open to scorn or ridicule, that
you have been made to look
foolish, by the one person in
the world who should guard and
protect your pride.
The old "Unwritten Law"
(now defunct) was based on the
popular belief that man whose
wife had betrayed him had
been publicly exposed to Scorn
and ridicule. In other words
that he had been made a fool
Of! A woman was not supposed
to be much injured by being
made a fool of. Women were
supposed to be fools, in those
days-or at least morons.

There are many kinds of 10y

ideals, to your work, to your

friends. But loyalty to the per-
son you married and who is,
therefore, at your mercy, leads
them all.
There is probably no form of

would hate to have her go on
thinking we are forgetful.
Viola is a pretty little thing,
with a mop of curly blond hair
and the BIGGEST brown eyes
you ever saw. The picture
really doesn't do her justice
although it does show her nice
smile.
The lady we were visiting
told us that Viola was as nice
as she was pretty. Which is
one of the reasons We are so
anxious to have her think
well Of us. We don't care a
bit what unpleasant people
think of us but nice boys and
girls-well, that is anothe
story.

All this diet business is fine

what it is! Behold, the draped

wonderful happened. At least it was
wonderful to Peter. The island grew
no smaller. The water had stopped
rising. Peter didn't know why it had
stopped rising. It was enough for him
that it had. It had stopped rising be-
cause it was night and colder. That
meant that the snow back in the hills
far away was not melting so fast and
so there was less water running into
the Big, River. Peter began to have
a little hope.
Hour after hour he sat there. All
the long night he sat there. Every
little while he looked to see if his tiny
island was smaller and each time
found it wasn't and each time hope
rose little. It seemed as If daylight
never would come. Perhaps with day
light he would find that he wasn't so
badly off as he seemed to be. Perhaps
he would find that there was land not
too far away for him to reach by
swimming. That was the worst night
Peter ever had spent in all his life. At
times he was filled with hope and at
times he was wholly hopeless. Yes,

covery. He was on an island! He was
surrounded by water! While he had
been sitting there the water had crept
around that bit of higher land until
it had entirely surrounded it.
Then Peter lost his head, as the
saying is, and began to race this way
and that way only to be stopped by
the water. He was trapped. Yes, sir
Peter was trapped. There was no
doubt about that. Several times he
waded out into the water only to turn
back when he found it SO deep that he
must swim. Peter can swim. but not
for much of distance, and the
trouble was he had no idea how far
away dry land was. In fact. he had
become so confused that he didn't
even know in which direction the
nearest dry land lay and it wasn't
light enough for him to see. Every
thing had been changed by the rising
water. Nothing was familiar.
After a while Peter went back to
the middle of his Island and crouched
down, trembling with fright and de-
spair. What should he do? What
could he do? Nothing. There was
nothing to do. He could just crouch
there and watch that dreadful water
creep nearer and nearer. Little by
little his island grew smaller.
I'll be drowned" thought Peter.

was watching the food. 1t fascinated
him and at the same time it fright

far from the edge Of the rising water
The land was little higher there

Peter had gone there. He could see
better. He couldn't see far, for it was
evening and of course there wasn't
much light, but he could see enough
to be filled with awe.
He had sat there long time heed
less of anything but the rushing water
out where the Big River should be.
He hadn't even noticed that the water
was rising nearer and nearer to where
he sat until little wavelet broke at
his very feet. Startled, he looked down.

He turned to 60 back the way ne

before once more finding the water at
his feet. Then he was frightened. He
started to hop along the edge of the
water seeking a place to go back and
with every hop became more fright

first thing he knew he was back to the
very place where he had sat so long.

ST TYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

A United Air Lines pilot the
other night did a very fancy job
of making forced landing in a
Bethel, Conn, swamp without IA
talities. The passengers scrambled
out of the emergency exit Of the
tail, 20 feet in the air, and rescued
the pilots, in the nose of the ship.
These occasional swamp landings
bring up the question of rubberS
and rope ladders as part of the
travelling equipment Of aerialists.
The answer is no. Air passengers
should not be burdened with any,
thing so trite as rubbers. Thirty
pounds is the luggage allowance
which is another way Of saying
inexpensive canvas types. But don It
go too cheap on luggage because
the varnish or glue of the Shoddy
