Well-Behaved Child
Never Annoying
9th ers.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

JIMMIE had a good home and hne
father and mother who gave him
the best possible care as far as food
and clothing and housing and school,
ing were concerned, but they thought
that making him mannerly was being
too nice about the rearing of boy.
Jimmie gathered from the few words
he heard dropped on occasions Of
family discussion that his manners
did not bother his good father and
mother amy, and to him that meant 1t
was smart to be crude.
Going down the street on the way
to the gr ocery store Jimmie carried
lath he picked up. He brandished it
about like long sword. He skittered
it along the stone pavement so that
ladies hs d to hop out of its way. He
swung il at boys he knew, knocking
off their caps, whacking them as
they paSsed him. He poked it into the
fruit stand and sent the oranges roll
ing hith er and yon and laughed to
see the grocer scrambling about to
rescue them. He poked the butchers
cat and sent her flying out of the door
and the dog next door went after her.
Jimmie laughed uproariously. Such
fun!
ScowlS followed Jimmie as he went
his happy way.
That's about the worst behaved
kid in this town. It's a wonder his
father and mother don't tend to him.
They're decent sort of folks. One of
these days somebody is going to give
him something he will remember them
by. Sure as he lives"
And. pf course. somebody did. JIM
mie went along the street with a red
crayon, marking every fence, ash can.

with crbsSes and stars and pictures of
strange creatures intended to reSem-
bic his foes, who were many. He was
engaged in decorating the twin gate
posts OF Miss Ellen's place when she
came along. She took him by one
ear, yahked him toward her. took of
her slipper and warmed Jimmie well.
A grolt tp gathered. friends of Miss
Ellen, and applauded her efforts.
They sent Jimmie on his hurried way
with " You been asking for it. young
one. Y ou got just what you deserved.
Maybe you'll learn now"
Jimnh HES good father and mother
were lhorrified. They had no idea
that Jimmie could do such things.
The st tpries poured in thick and fast
in defe nse of Miss Ellen's action.
why did you do such things?
Didn't you know any better? Is that
what " have been teaching you?"
Jimrh hie felt betrayed at home and
abroad and perhaps he had been.
Only n 1iss Ellen had truly expressed
her fee lings about his manners. The
others had been silent or totally OBJ
livious to his progress in bad manners.
Children are not mannerly when

child who was reared to express good
feeling and kindness and consideration
toward all he met would not make his

Dorothy Dix Says
Young Husbands Should Train Their
Wives in Way to Go.

know how to do it. They don't even
know what their husbands expect OF
them. Use as much tact and patience
in training your wife into what you
want her to do as you would in teach
ing a new stenographer how to do her
work.
The man who has to get up and get
his own breakfast, or eat poisonous
food, or come home to Q poorly kept
house has only himself to blame. He
didn't have enough backbone to make
his wife understand at the very be-
ginning Of their marriage that he
wouldn't stand for laziness and sloven-
illness, and that II she wanted to keep
her job she would have to make good
on it.
FOURTH. Take an interest in your
wife's affairs. Teach her how to
run the home on q sound financial
basis. You have had more business
experience than she has, so teach her
how to handle money. You can get
a woman as much interested in bal
ancing q budget as she would be in
working out q crossword puzzle.
Compliment her housekeeping and
praise her cooking If you want her to
pinch the pennies and be the blue
ribbon cake baker of the community.
The reason so many women slack
down in their cooking Is because their
husbands gobble their food without
apparently noticing what they are
eating.
FINALLY. If you want a wife who
will never bore you and Of whom
you will never grow tired, make a
companion Of her. It is the lack Of
comradeship between husbands and
wives that wrecks more homes than
anything else. Don't let this ruin your
marriage. Don't get 50 absorbed in
your business that you have no in
terest in anything else. Don't let your
wife get so wrapped up in her children
that she hardly knows you are alive.
Keep In touch with her. Talk to
her about your ambitions, your plans,
your work. Make her read the books
you are reading and discuss them with
her. Make her play with you. Make
her 60 out with you. The greatest
thing that can happen to any married
couple Is to be friends when they are
old Thu ssddAst IN for then, IN hava
drifted 30 far apart that they yawn
in each Others faces.
Don't make the mistake, son, that
so many men make, Of expecting your
wife to keep the home fire burning.
It is your job. too. and your marriage
will be what you make it.

/OU are going W NC Maiiico' SoH'
" and you want your marriage
to be success. You pray God
4 that it may not be one of those
short-lived ones that end up in two or
three years in a messy divorce. You
want your marriage to be q until
death do s-part affair. You want
to be happy yourself. Above all, you
want your wife to be happy and glad
she married you instead Of wondering
what made her do 1t.
Now nobody can tell you definitely
how to make your marriage success.
for where there is one rule for how to
be happy though married there are
dozen exceptions. But II you will fol-
low these tips they will be a guide to
your feet along the way to your golden
wedding:
EIRST. Don't drop your lovemaking
L at the altar. Most men do, and
give their brides shock from which
they never recover. Picture 1t your
self. For months the girl has lived
in the rarified air Of romance. The
man has made her believe that he
cannot live without her. He has told
her, by the hour. how beautiful and
wonderful and glamorous she Is, and
she marries him expecting to spend
the remainder of her life listening to
him chant her praises and being fed
on bonbons. Then, as soon as the
marriage ceremony is over, he expects
her to take his affection for granted
and never mentions the state Of his
heart again, or refers to any Of her
charms.
Don't make this mistake. Marriage
doesn't automatically extract q wom-
ans sweet tooth nor remove her van
ity. She Is just as hungry for f1attery
after marriage as she was before. and
1t Is Just as much up to a husband
to Jolly his wife as 1t is to clothe and
feed her. If you will keep courting
your wife, no other man will succeed
In stealing her.

dren. When they are idle they get
into mischief. The women who have
to do their own cooking and washing
and baby-tending don't have time to
wonder II they have really married
their soul mates, or II their husbands
understand them. Nor are they af-
fiicted with imaginary diseases.
It Is the idle women, with nothing
to do to occupy their minds or hands.
who I'LL Reno and enrich nerve spe-
cialists and get into affairs with gigo-
los. The really united husbands and
wives are those who are yoke mates.
It Just doesn't work when the husband
pulls all the load and the wife sits
up on q gilded throne on top Of the
chariot.
