Let's be specially nice to her this Christmas. I don't think we ought to brag to her about our own jgood fortunes. Don't, above all •things, let her see,that we feel sorry for her." The girls agreed. ••Especially Esther's engagement. yhatH make her more lonesome, poor thing," said Marion. * But Carrie wag radiant when she came in. "Merry Christmas, folks!"

"Poor Carrie," they said again. 9tor Frank and Marlon were so proud «t the new baby, and Harry'd had a promotion. Esther was romantic '1#th a beautiful diamond and a young Man's very soulful picture. This was Her senior year in college. She'd depended on Carrie tbr funds as each of the others had, but she couldn't help patronizing Carrie a little in her mind.

John left at eleven and the family rushed in. "You sly lady," they all shouted, not believing themselves, "How does this happen?" Carrie smiled and then looked serious. "Oh, John wants me to marry him, but I don't want to marry. I want to go to Europe!" "What? You turned him down?" Esther and Marion couldn't believe it •Carrie nodded.

J talked It ever with a couple other husbands whom I'm on friendly turns with them and we set down and figured out a set of demands which will first be gave to other husbands for their O. K. and then presented to the wives In the shape of a ul tlmatum which if each and every demand is not granted the married men will walk out on them the day before Xmas and leave, them to explain to the kida why Santa didn't show op. The demands as maped ont to as follows: , ' , 1. A 20 hour Day and a # Day Week. Under the present system the husband is on the Job the whole 24 hrs. of the whole 7 days and even while be is asleep he can't dream nothing that don't remind him of it. The husband wants the hrs. between 8 and 12 every night for rest and recreation, and Sundays to themself for meditation and prayer warnwberes away from the home. 2. The Closed Mouth. The way tt Is now yon dont know sooner get In the house when the owner wants to'know where yon waa. The husband wants the right to not answer. S. A Increase of at Least 10 Per Cent in Pocket Money. The owners is getting bigger allowances than ever before but the husbands is still supposed to go along on the old scale though it costs S and 5 times as much to mingle around and where a person used to be able to get paralyzed on tie . it now taken $25 and ISO to even feel Uke yen wanted to hear tbe Rosary. 4k Collective Marketing. In rare cases, the owner consults the l»«i«hand as to what would be like for dinner but they generally always wait until Just after breakfast when the bare mention of food staffs rubs the for the wrong way and even when a husband can remember 1 of his favorite dishes at that hr. in the morning and mentions It out loud why he has his trouble for his pains yon might say, as the matter will either be forgotten and hushed up before nightfall or else they tried to get It but the man at the store advised them to pass It op as It waa libel to be a little ranced at this time of yr. or something. In regards to Demand #4, while t don't like to drag In personalities however, I feel strained to aay tbat I have been a husband for better or worse than 8 yrs. and have never kept it a secret from tbe owner that my "2 flavorit$ viands was oyster cream stew and doughnuts and yet during the entire Eight Tears War the no. of messes of doughnuts In our home has hardly rsn Into double figures of 1 thumb. In the esse of the doughnuts It is generally always broughten up that lard Is too expensive for lardners or doughnuts don't set good on the kids or the ownei don't know If lola can make them or not and they don't seem to be no way of finding out and If you get them from tbe bakery you don't know,what Is in them though person I y I dnn't give s dam as long as they taste greasy and fill you up. * As far as oysters Is consented tbey's a version la the Psalms t!»*t says don't eat them only in months wblcb Is spelt with a r and though It goes vs. the grain for a man t<- speak of their wlfes short cornel rigs suffices to ssy that tbey's many a nice girl that wus born a bad xpelter and Jnst as many that can't hear the looks of s calendar around the honse so for all ss they know oysters may be at their senlth In July instead ot vice versa. 8.
