The Torch Light and Public Ad-

The American Farmer, had this
to say, in part: Il would recon-
mend every woman, if possible,
on her marriage, to get some early
allowance, though ever so trifling,
settled on her. Believe me, the
little unavoidable demands on her
husbands purse, to which wife
is so frequently compelled to have
recourse, is very apt to create
pickering and discord, and that at
the very moment, perhaps, when
all is peace and harmony between
them; and once good humor is put
off its way, it is not such very
easy matter, rely on it, to bring
it back to its old course"

Patrick Kelley, head OF the new
Shakespeare course held Thursday
evenings at Crosby high school as
part of the local educational and
recreational WPA program directed
by Miss Edna Harmon, announced
today his program this evening will
be devoted to discussion OF "Ro-
meo and Juliet"
The purpose Of the stress on this
particular play Is for the benefit Of
the many Waterburians who will

first hand knowledge OF the lines
will greatly add TO the enjoyment
of thep lay, Mr.. Kelley explained.
The course In Shakespeare was
held for the first time last Thurs
day evening and the attendance was
very disappointing. One of the rea-
sons was probably due TO the fact
there are many local persons eager
TO attend the course but who fail 10
do so because they are under the
impression 1t Is an advanced class.
