What a bachelor fancies is his twelve-cylinder will-power to escape
matrimony turns out to be nothing but a foolish little one-cyllnder.won't-power
whon tho right girl happens along.
Marrlago Is tho only thing on earth that' affords a man tho pleasure
of company and the delightful sensation of solitude at ono and tho same

Pessimism is a man's natural reaction after too much of anythtng

It's a very poor specimen of wlfo

When Britain's Navy Went on Strike
TUB great strike of British seamen

for two months, ending on June

Parker, the leader of the mutiny. Kor

England open to Invasion, for the' sail

of the fleet took mattrs Into their

The trouble was temporarily Het

"Tcrrlblo is no nnmo for It." replied
Mrs, Jarr, with feeling. "What's com

nro all flocking to tho ummunltlon

And to think what I put up with
from that last girl!" sighed Mrs. Han-

Why, sho wouldn't even permit mc to
go Into my own kitchen, and when I
asked her to clean the sliver she aalrt

"There's whore you made tho great

"t did let her go once," sighed Mrs,
Hangle, "but she begged no hard tollnC I would bo out. and I know she

She did splendid for tho first fr.w

"There's where you made nnother

take thorn back when you onco lot

get along without them."
"They are all spoiled these days,"
aid Airs. Rangle. "They like tho

"It's a shame," Interjected Mrs.
Jarr. "But DO take off your things;
you look so uncomfortable."
"Oh, I must leave right away," de
clared Mrs. nanglo, "I have to hurry
home and get supper. But, aa I was
saying, I'm sure no one treats a girl

"That's where you spoil them

"It's no uso to get a country girl,"
