In some communities women
are on an lamost-never quits
completely-equal footing with
men.
In others, the men rule the
roost and no. fooling. while the
women work Just q hard, II not
harder, than where the women
have more say-so.
II you are used to the first
type Of community, you had bet.
tor steer clear Of living In the
second. You won't have any
trouble telling Il the men run
everything 10 suit themselves
II they do, these ere some OF
the signs:
The business and professional
men dress far better than their
wives.
The men stuhbornly refuse to
wear anything but business suits
no matter how formal the &C.
casion may be.
Wives generally are put In the
back seat Of Z car where they
can talk about curtains, while
the men cit together In the front
and talk sheut local and nation
sl affairs.
When . girl II born to . couple
who have no children, or only
one or two, the public attitude
Is one Of pity.

her.

Xavier Merrill scrutinized Locke

men all his life, he recognized q
man when he saw one. Being big

Locke now. He had changed IN a
moment from negligent, unassum-
ing figure into strong unyielding
force. Merrill took in the wide span
of Locke's shoulders, the powerful,
tempered body, the long legs, set
slightly apart.
"Then you heard about the debt

Unexpectedly embarrassed.

"How much was it7" Locke asked

Jumping spiders are lively leap
ers, generally attracting the atten-
ton of nature lovers by their un-
usual appearance and bright COL
ors. These spiders have antlike
bodies, short, sturdy legs, and
coat of scales or hair. Some are
even iridescent. All are harmless.
Members of the family are easily
identified by their eyes. A good
magnifying glass will add much to
your pleasure this summer, for it
will enable you to see small objects,
and will enlarge some so that you
will easily recognize the field marks
often referred to in books.
This matter of the eyes Of the
jumping spider is a case in point.
The eyes occupy the entire length
of the head part of the cephalo-
thorax and limit a quadrilateral
area which is known as the ocular
quadrangle. The anterior eyes are
large and situated on the vertical
face. The anterior median eyes
are very large, while the posterior
median eyes are so small you can
hardly see them. These are in
front of the posterior lateral eyes.
Count them.
You will find the jumping spiders
on fences, logs. plants and sides
of buildings. The Attidae Is one
of the largest and most widely dis
tributed families of spiders. There
are representatives in all parts of
the world except in the polar re-
gions. Several thousand species
have been described. In the trop-
les they are very prosperous. Al
most 300 species, representing about
40 genera, are known to live in
America, north of Mexico.
The sexes differ little in size,
which is rather unusual. They may
be quite individual in color and
in their clothing, hair or scales.
In m6ny cases the males have

of several envelopes, usually with
two exists for the nursery. The egg
sacs are frail, and are protected
within the tougher saclike nest. AS
a rule, the cocoon Is lens-shaped
and suspended, hammock fashion,
from the walls of the nest. The
