Jeffries SHES away from attempt
ing to compare Joe Louis, the pres
ent champion. with the old-time
greats.
Louis has never been thoroughly
tested. He has 10 competition. Yes,
l think Dempsey would have beaten
Joe, because Jack could hit just rs
hard and liked the rough going.
But how can anybody tell? Louis
may be the greatest Of them all, but
I doubt IT,"
Jeffries says Louis has been a
credit to the sport of boxing and sees
little chance Of anybody beating him
because there are no standouts
among the crop Of contenders and
the youngsters coming up just won't
work hard enough to get any place.

Punch's immortal advice to the
young man about to marry.
Don't" You are going into this
partnership determined to destroy
David's bigness and confidence and
originality by 4 long process of flea
bites; you care already for the opin-
ion and judgment of your friends
more than you care for him. Your
attitude is not loyal, protective, con-
fident: you are not looking beyond
these school-teaching days IN a
small town to the days when he,
with all his crudeness and frankness
and tactlessness will be moved on to
a better position. No, you've deter
mined to make q polished courtier
out Of him, q husband who does
everything Maude wants him to do,
a lackey dancing about with chairs
and opening car doors and never
forgetting to remove his hat.
It's unfortunate that David didn't
have a mother during his small boy
hood, to train him in gentler man.

indeed change him miraculously
but only if that wife makes him feel
that he is the one object Of her
solicitude in the matter. Not to i'm

Embarrassment" not to spare her
old-maidy nerves, but because she
loves him, because she is close to
him in everything, and she likes to
receive from him the little atten-
tons that all women prize.
To take the attitude of teacher,
to guide, will destroy her marriage
sooner or later, for David is obvi-
ously the bigger-natured person Of
the two, and to have a swarm of
gnats, in the shape Of gentle re-
proaches, sweet reminders, sensitive
tears and hurt suggestions buzzing
around his head from morning until
night will speedily disillusion him.
True Spirit Of Wifehood.
In one of Dickens stories there is
an incident Of a country farmer and
his lass, who come to the bureau
for wedding license. The man
cannot write and so makes his
mark; the girl makes her own mark
beside his. Later some friend re-
proaches her, reminding her that she
was well educated ard can Of course
sign her name. Eyes, know" says
the wife-to-be. ''but the dear good
fellow hasn't had any schooling-rm
to help him get started, and didn't
want TO shame him!"
That is the spirit of wifehood.
Wifehood has to be oneness or it
isn't anything at all. To be watch

disturbed smiles with your friends,

L of marriage are very nat
ural fears. Any girl who is will
ing to jump into the new life,
accept the new name and home,
responsibilities and position
without any misgivings, is a
rather shallow girl. We expect
the bride to be a little dubious,
a little hesitant, a little afraid
of her own fitness to handle the
problems of marriage.
But the other extreme is al
most as unfortunate as the one
of too much confidence. To
weigh and measure, doubt and
worry, analyze and hesitate
over your matrimonial pros
poets is to rob the happiest time
of your life of it's fragrance and
beauty. When I receive a letter
like the following, l have small
hopes that the girl who wrote it
is headed for a successful ex-
perience as a wife.
An Eye to Alterations.
David and I have been engaged
for more than a year." writes Maude
Brown. He is "a, am seven years
younger; we are both school-teach-
ers. Everything know Of David's
character is fine, but there are
many little things about him that
worry me; they may not seem
important to most girls, but they
are to me. I would not hurt his
feelings for the world; just because
he has not had some Of the social
advantages that most Of my friends
have had. But feel that just a
few changes in him would make him
perfection itself and I need advice
as to how to 60 about accomplishing
them. Intellectually he is more than
a match for any Of my friends; next
year he will probably be superin-
tendent Of our Union High, the young
est man ever to hold that position.
''To give you an idea of what I
mean. David is very outspoken.
Before our friends he will say things
like: How can you folks afford
that?' or: we're going to board with
Maude's mother awhile, at regu-
lar boarder rates. little intimate
matters that embarrass me and my
friends. Once at picnic David
refused frandurters saying that
they gave him gas;' he never rises
when a woman stands up to leave
the table; he doesn't take of his
hat when women are in the elevator,
pull out my chair, or open the car
door for me. In short, he is 4 rough
