Is Spoiled
By Nagger
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Famous Authority on Problems
of Loue and MdrTiGge.)
Mr.. A. doesn't go home to
dinner an. more. Sometimes,
you find him dining alone in a
restaurant, and again at a soil
tary table il. his club-anywhere
but at the expensive home he
built for his family.
The poor man doubtless re-
members SoIomon's admonition:
Better dinner of herbs, where
love is, than a stalled OK and
hatred Herewith.
It's a very nice house that Mr..
A. sneaks into, late at night,
with the fond hope that his wife
may be sound asleep in her pink
bedroom, and not tell him about
all the grief she has endured
since he went to his office at 9.
Mr.. A is highly successful
lawer. No, he doesn't specialize
in divorce, though, after his ex-
perience at home, one is sur.
prised to learn that he is not
the leading divorce specialist in
these United States.
When he married, less than
20 years ago, he was wildly in
love with his wife. He was
handsome, an answer to any
maiden'S prayer.
CONSTANT NAGGER
Today he is bald, homely, and
has an uneasy way of looking
over his shoulder, as If he might
be lodging something. He is!
He is lodging his wife's constant
complaining. She is a thirty
third degree nagger and knows
all the grips.
In addition to the lovely home
they have an excellent car and
a chauffeur, though Mr.. A.
patronizes street cars and cabs
because his wife and daughter
might like to use the car.
In addition to the chauffeur,
two servants are kept, and the
iniquities of these three (chauf-
feur, cook, housemai6 form the
burden of Mrs. AS dirges.
She waits up for her husband
in the pink bedroom to tell him
of all the deviltry the three have
been engaged in during the day.
They do things to spite her. She
changes servants, but it is al
ways the same.
UNPOPULAR GIRL
Her daughters unpopularity
comes next, and then she winds
UP with the rich enjoyment OF
her own poor health.
The daughter is unpopular be-
cause she has been brought up
by a Whitney, nagging mother.
Whining and nagging are the
only mediums of expression the
poor girl knows. Naturally,
she's not popular.
Mr.. AS terrific patience has
done him in. He has endured
until he seems but a parody Of
his former self. No one knows
why he puts up with these
things, but put up with them
he does.
HAPPINESS MASTERS
If Mr.. A. were to die, and it
was revealed that his estate was
absolutely bankrupt, and Mrs.
A. had to turn to and earn her
living, the experience might
make her human.
But she belongs, constitution
ally and by preference, to that
great army of people who are
happiness MASTERS.
They live in the past, which,
if the truth were only known,
they were just as wretched
about, or in an impossible fu-
ture, which never will dawn for
them because they lack the
ability to make the most of the
passing hour.
Meantime, Mr.. A. and all the
other husbands of Calamity
James" dine anywhere, to es-
cape the wall. Don't be a happi-
ness WaSter!

He was an initiate, as were most
of the wise who flourished on
this earth when conditions were

can rise to that wisdom which
is the only real and lasting
power which he can develop.
We must find and use those
keys.

Manners
ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
GrDaor NErc Roackroon.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
please tell me how to word
an invitation for an informal
wedding for relatives and a few
friends? What is the proper
attire for a groom at a o'clock
wedding? Is this sample Of
letter paper correct? 3D."
A note written by the brides
mother, who is to be the hostess
of the occasion, is the correct
form of invitation for an in
formal wedding. Like this:
Dear Mary:
Jane and Bob are to be mar
ried in the United Church, on
Tuesday, the first of March, at
four O'Clock.
I'VE are inviting only the
relatives and a few close
friends, and we want very much
to have you and Tom with us,
for the ceremony at the church,
and, afterward, at an informal
gathering of relatives and
friends at our home.
"You will both come
won't you? 1t will make us all
very happy if you will say yes.
Dearest love to you and Tom
from all of us.
Cordially"
At an informal wedding the
groom wears a dark business
suit, with appropriate accessor-
les.
Yes, your conventional dou-
ble-sheeted white letter-paper
is in good form. This would be
appropriate paper for your
mother to use for the invitation.
POSTCARDS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Is it correct to send a vaca-
ton postal card to ones en-
ployer? He is in his late thirtieS
and is married. I am % and
know his wife slightly. Should
it be addressed to both Of them,
and should it be sent to his
home address? "P."
I'd rather that you wouldn't
send a vacation postcard to
your employer it is a point
less gesture, especially since APP
parently you don't know them
socially.
However, if you insist on send
ing it, address it to both your
employer and his wife, and to
their home address.

w WESTERN willets have Sc

The Western willet is a bird of the
plains and inland prairies. In the
Spring the birds fly northward through

that spend their Winters in South
Carolina and Florida return by an
overland route.
In the prairie regions of North
Dakota and Saskatchewan the West
ern williets gather in large numbers.
You cannot approach their breeding
grounds very easily. The moment the
willets are aware of your arrival near
their nurseries, they do everything in
their power to confuse you and make
you think the nest is where it is not.
If you do know where the willets
are established, look over the ground
where there are hollow places. There
is no attempt to hide the nest. The
depression is used as baSSinet and
is lined with grasses and dry weeds
The eggs look very much like those
laid by the Eastern willet, only slightly
longer and there are four to the clutch.

OIL CASE DEFENSE
WINS TRIAL POINT.
Permitted to Try to Show
Companies Acted in
Good Faith.
By the Associa ated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, October 22.-The
way apparently was clear today for
defense attorneys in the Federal Gov
ernment's gasoline price-f1xing con-
spiracy trial to base their case on the
former N. r. A. petroleum code and
1885 conditions in the oil industry.
Federal Judge Patrick T. Stone
before whom % oil companies, three
trade publications and As executives
are on trial-ruled informally late
yesterday that the defense may at
tempt to show that these defendants
acted in good faith, may show facts
and circumstances surrounding COM
pany activities and go as far as it
can to prove written or understood
governmental authority for the COM
panies' gasoline buying.
At the start of the trial he had
warned Chief Defense Counsel Will
liam j. Donovan not to claim govern
mental approval of the companies
actions unless he could offer formal
proof in the nature of written approval
by President Roosevelt or Secretary
Harold IckeS, then oil administrator.
Unparalleled Discussion.
The judge took his present position
following what veteran attorneys
called an unparalleled informal dis
cussion in open court, after the jury
had been excused, with more than 40
attorneys who gathered about his desk.
The Government charges the COM
panies purchased small reflneries'
gasoline in a concerted buying pro-
gram in 1885 and 1886 to- force up
prices.
The defense contention is that the
companies program was planned to
stabilize the industry along the lines
OF the N R. A. code, before and after
the demise of the Blue Eagle. and that
the activities had Government sane
ton.
Cancelled Check Admitted.
Judge Stone admitted to evidence q
Cancelled check and voucher for 1886
offered by Donovan as proof of testi-
mony that the Planning and Co.
ordination Committee of the Oil Code
Authority had paid part Of the ex-
penses of an oil buyer early in 1885
during a program engaged in by 13
companies.
Testimony that his phone calls were
paid for by the committee early in
1885 was given by Walter Paul jacob,
Tulsa. Okla, purchasing agent for the
Socony-Vacuum and Wadhams Oil
Cos He had testified for the Govern
ment that he acted as contact man.
when 13 companies engaged in pro-
gram of buying distress" gasoline
from small refineries in 1885 and 1886
jacob explained the plan did not
involve pool buying" but that it was
purely voluntary arrangement, with
each company purchasing what it
needed.

this time are not quite so noisy and
often pay an overnight visit without
any one being aware of their call.
Upon reaching their destination,
either in the Spring or Autumn, the
birds resume their joyous conversation
among themselves, making a great
to-do about everything that happens
among them.
