Most men have one set of rules for the conduct of their wives and another set for themselves. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who used to shave off a lot of powder from a bath brick and use it to clean the kniveB? x A lot of the married men are indig nant because of the proposal to omit the word "obey" from the marriage ceremony. But most of the married women didn't even know the word was in the marriage ceremony. And when he quits calling her "dar kling " and begins calling her "Say, j you!" the honeymoon is as dead asj the roses she carried on the happy day. . A, dog's idea of a mollycoddle is a poodle who has his fleas washed and combed off by a flunkey, and who never has any fun scratching them. The reason why a girl who has to wear an out size in stockings knows that she isn't fat is because she can see Uiat her ankles are not as large I as her knees. Once upon a time a man started a fashion magazine that specialized in styles for fat wom-en. The poor sucker starved to death. No woman will even admit to herself that she, is a, perfect 4S north of the waist line and a perfect 52 south of the waist ! line. ! The women may be wrong a great deal of the time. But when they claim J that the men couldn't get along with-j out tnem, they are always right, with a ! great big capital R. , After a man gets to be 70 years old, ne can remember a whole lot of things that never happened. t A woman always has "because" as a reason, but a man sometimes hasn't even one that good. Good habits are hard to form and easy to break. But it is different with the bad habits. Every now and then Nature slips a cog and turns out a male gossip. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who used to say that the fingers were made before forks and who said that any man who soiled two knives when he was eating a meal was a dude? The fury of a woman scorned is as, nothing when compared to the fury of friend wife when friend husband wakes her up and tells her that her snoring is keeping him awake. The girl who wants to appear man nish will wear a tailored skirt and. coat and a mannish hat and waist. But the feminine instinct compels her to wear something dainty and fluffy and baby-ribboned where you can't see it. What has become of the old fashion ed freckle-faced boy who always had one big toe tied up in a rag and who always had two bull's eyes in the seats of his pants and who always said "Yes sir," and "No. sir,"' when you spoke to him? Kentucky hospitality used to be great stuff. But nowadays, in most of the counties of that state, the farm er votes the dry ticket and hides his demijohn out in the barn so nobody can get a swig out of it but himself. Before he gets her she is so differ ent from other women that he can not live without her. After he gets her he is always telling her that she is just like the rest of the doggone women. The man who is always knocking is sure to miss and hit his own thumb every once in a while. When there are five' or sis gr.own "girls in a family the oldest daughter always has an idea that her mother is trying to raffle her off. We hate to be iconoclastic. But if George Washington never told a lie his married life with Martha must have been one long glorious battle. Never laugh when you hear the woman next door giving her husband Hail Columbia. You never can tell when your own Oootsey Wootsey is going to start in on you. Before he gets her she is a, clinging vine. After he gets h'er she.' reminds lim cf poison ivy. If the truth were only known, many a u.an s will power is at home washing the dishes and getting his supper ready for him. The man who-has just learned how to play chess gets mad because the local paper doesn't devote an entire page to chess every day. And the man who doesn't own an auto can't see why a lot of space should- be wasted on automobile neu's every day. That's one reason why anybody can run a newspaper. When he is courting her he thinks shs is an angel in disguise. After he gets her he discovers that the disguise was permanent. HAS TQfi OF CHILDREN CANFIELD, Ore. Mrs. John Mcore of this place, has a ton of children. Mrs. Laird weighs only 135 pounds, but her heaviest son, 20, weighs 295 pounds. Three others weigh 245 pounds each.

NEED N in, SEH A wounded British soldier has dealt a quiet rebuke to the sentimentaliz ings over him and his like. He is living, he says, like a lord, in a fine house in a smart suburb of London, waited upon by lovely women, visited by equally lovely women, usually bear ing gifts. He is not ungrateful for their kindly thought but he thinks of the wives and children of his com rades at the front. He would rather this kindness were put to work in the quarters where it would be less pic turesque -and more useful. He con cludes with this prayer: "Lord, keep us wounded men mod est and open our eyes to the purer heroism of those men and women who denied the brave show of the battle field, sacrifice themselves every day to the tedious tasks for which we have ' not the courage." There is something wonderfully fine grained in this; something wonderful ly true and deep. And it has an appli cation wider than the English hospi tals. How many institutions have been cumbered by requests for silly displays of the doner's name! How many bronzes and marbles have lum bered up our public places at an ex pense which ought to have gone to cleaning and beautifying squalid streets! This wounded soldier has ' belittled his own sacrifice in order jthat he may, with gentleness and I .truth, correct the foolish show of kindness which prefers the pleasant charity to needful. How easy it isi ' to flatter our self-respect with the con science money of- kindness. How 1 much harder it is to do the rough, and j heavy work. Let us be honest with ourselves i even in our charities.
