"Why is it," demanded pretty Mrs.
Penton of a company of young matrons
who had assembled at her house for
afternoon tea, "that a man's belong
ings are often more trying, more ir
ritating to one's nerves than even the
man himself?"
"What kind of belongings do you
mean?" inquired young Mrs. Troy with
a smile that seemed to say that she
knew what Mrs. Penton was going to
sayr.
t'pb, I mean what In official terms
is called their 'personal effects,' their
clothes"
"Yes, clothes are about all the per
sonal belongings men are allowed to
have," laughed a small matron. "But
even clothes are trying at times. Can't
you understand, the feelings of the wo
man who wanted a divorce Just be
cause she couldn't stand It to see a
man's clothes hanging in her closet?"
"In her closet!" echoed Mrs. Troy.
"Well, if she could get her husband
to hang his clothes in any closet, I
think she ought to have been satisfied.
What irritates me is to see my hus
band's clothes hanging over all the
chairs."
"Isn't it strange." mused Mrs. Pen
ton, "that one can grow quite roman
tic over a woman's empty glove, her
opera coat, or her dancing slippers,
but did anybody ever grow poetic over
a man's glove or his tuxedo or his
pumps?"
"Do you know," spoke up the small
matron, "that one of the most trying
experiences of my life as a housekeep
er is putting away my husband's laun
dry?" "Well, really," said Mrs. Troy, "if
you never have anything to do more
trying than that I think you are not
in danger of an Immediate break
down." "But there's something so hard and
uncompromising about a laundered
shirt. It seems to be the very symbol
of a man's commercial spirit I never

"Hanging Over All the Chairs."
take the pins out of a shirt of my
husband's, but I feel like mussing it
all up and making it amenable to rea
Bon." "The only opportunity that a man
has to betray his individuality In the
matter of clothes is in his choice of
ties," declared Mrs. Penton, "and see
what he wears! They say a woman's
history might be written from an in
spection of the clothes in her closet,
and I think a man's biography might,
with equal truth, be gathered from
the drawer in which he keeps his
ties."
"I endure his ties and his unoccu
pied shirts," declared a young and
baby faced matron, "but his cigars
and all his smoking apparatus drive
me to the brink. Not that I particu
larly object to a nice, neat row of
cigars, or even a freshly lighted one,
but think of the horrid, smelly ashes
that incumber the carpets! Think of
the smoke that lingers forever in the
curtains, and the vile smelHng cigar
Btub that is always present, and that
is so distressing to the nerves of the
nice and the neat."
"Well, really," said Mrs. Penton, "it
is a pity that there is not some one
here to speak for the other side. Don't
you suppose that our belongings, our
gewgaws and baubles sometimes an
noy our husbands? Surely, our infi
nite variety of possessions, our hair
pins and hatpins, our veils and laces,
our beads and buckles must have their
effect upon nervous men."
"But we have nothing that corre
sponds to the bad smelling cigar
stubs." protested the baby faced ma
troa. "We have our perfumes and our
sachets," declared Mrs. Penton, "and
you know that to some men the odor
of perfume is intolerable. As for
sachet powder, I had to give that up
early in my married life, because it
made Mr. Penton ill, and now I dislike
it as much as he does."
"He ought to have married the wo
man who couldn't endure the sight of
a man's clothes in her closet," laughed
Mrs. Troy. "What a sweet time they
would have had together! But Isn't it
ridiculous to make such a fuss over
little things, when life is so full of big
issues?"
"Well, 4fs a truth as old as the
hills." sighed the small matron, "that
it's the little things that cause all the
trouble." Chicago Dally News.
