Don't feel that there are onlv
a few conventional gifts which you

let that take the place of a box of

And if you are a man who is
handy with tools, make a coffee

the neighbors who occasionally
look after your children for an

a little effort, he pulled a panel
in the rear of the bookcase and it

Wives are forever being told how
to keep their husbands at home -
when what most of them really want
to know is how to drag them out
once in a while.
The truth is that wives, more fire
quently than husbands, get tired Of
home and fireside and want a little
excitement in their lives.
And no wonder.
Home to a mar is a place where
he can put on his slippers, fall down
into the most comfortable arm chair
and forget all about the days hard
work. Few husbands, are expected
to lift their hands in their owr
homes.

of that's SO, those other Boston
pitchers had better be hot all sea-

the Is games Grove won last year
meant the difference between Sec

The Yanks Admire Them
incidentally, Grove and Teller,
who may in one way or the other
have such an effect not only on the
fate of their own clubs but on the
fate of the Yankees as well, are two
of the Yanks' favorite athletes.
Naturally, they like to beat the two
Bobs every time they hook up with
them. But they admire Grove for
his year-in and year-out perform
ances, the courage he showed in
beating his way back when every
body had him tagged for the clean
ers and the skill with which he has
made over his pitching style.
They Don't Like .Sho,Uboats'
They admire Teller not only for
the natural stuff he has but for the
way he has taken his fame in stride.
There are no swelled-heads or Show
offs among the Yankees and they
freely hand it to the kid from Van
Meter for having already touched
greatness without making any fuss
about it.
The Yanks, I might say, are criti-
cal Of ball players they call SHOW
boats" Not understanding Dizzy
Dean, they took an almost violent
dislike to him and got a terrific
kick out Of his crack-up in the all
star game in Washington in 1887 and
the defeat they slapped ON him in
the World Series Of 1898.
But Dir got them on his side after
the final game of the 1898 series
when he walked into their clubhouse
at the Stadium and said he hated
to lose but getting beaten by a great
ball club took some of the sting out
Of the defeat.
