Y DEAR LITTLE GIRLâ€"I got your letter Just as I was starting to make a bee line forthetraimandasl had to make a long jump this trip I’ve had no opportunity to reply until this very minute. I read it through as soon as I got on board, and then I laid back on my seat and laughed all to myself, Now, don’t get excited, my, dear. 1 wasn’t laughing at You. Not a hit of it. But the serious problems which you imagine are just about to overwhelm you right at the beginning of your mar. ried life remind me so much of the same worries that encompassed your mother “all round about" like the little old womans petticoat. And the cause or it all vas meâ€"-rne, your respected and reverel and much beloved old dad.

Sh never would admit it. of course. Shexas too sweet and gentle and good hez'ted. And then she really thought a hap of me, even when I was furthestbelow par in her estima- tion. ‘ ‘l V‘I. But it’s\tha way nearly all the time. my little giri The trouble with you women is that you pick out a man and then,’ before you're married to him. you build a high pedestal of marble or onyx or something equally fine. and you carve pictures in bold relief all around the sides illus- trating his tran- scendent vir- tues, just like the monuments On a pcétal. you see in tt parks to the heroes who “fit." bled 1d plundered for their country. The you put the man on tOp of this beatful pile. and you look up at him 'th your hands ’clasped and your es moonin’ like a calf with the cc. and you say, “My. ain’t he betiful,” or, “Oh. ain’t he awful nici or some such emphatic and forciblerxpreSSion of feminine adoration. ‘.u don’t have a chance to- get a rea genuine assay of him. and you tlk he’s all gold and studded arod with diamonds like a birthday rin; Then you get married and you clin up beside him and you make the té'ble discovery that his feet are claydso his hands and like- wise his he: In other words, you find ,that. he'just plain garden mud. And then ya proceed to have a tit. You don’t 32 “Woe is me!” nor beat your breasnor raise the neighbor- hood with 31' cries. like they used to do in t three volume novels. Such crudlt‘ are no longer fashion- able. You. things differently now- adays but 1r methods are just as effective. Wheno Man Is Miffed. And all tttime the man is stand- ing anonnd one foot with a face as long ants solemn as the presi- dent’s .mesp, wondering what in the dickens ;he matter. Sometimes. by way of rersion. he goes in the other roomld kicks over a chair or sneaks olnto the back yard and throws rockt the chickens. l have a kind of recollection that I did something that sort myself.

That’se way it’s been with Bill.

If the steak comes to the breakfast table fried hard. if the eggs are swim- ming in grease or the biscuits heavy enough to use as weights on the cuckoo clock, he’s got a kick coming. And it will come. It may not be just then. He may keep it to himself until he collects an assortment and then let out all at once. But sooner or later the kick “ill come and the longer he holds it in the harder it will come out. So, my demr I say to you solemnly and prayerfully. see to it personally that William is well fed. Maybe that‘s w'shat the matter with him now. May- he he’s already got the grouch of the underfed' or the badly fed. Better fig- are on that a little. my dear.

His mother gives him his start in character build- ing, and his.wife puts on the finishing touches. but it isn't good policy to let him know that you are working on him. A good deal has been said about the cont-rariness of woman. but she isn’t really in the same. class with a man if he thinks somebody is trying to improve him. So whatever you make up your mind to do .with William, don't, for heaven’s sake, give him a _ hint of your designs. And. as I said before, don’t try to do too much. ' The Most Important Point. In the first place, my dear, you’d bet- ter get the fact buried in the middle of your gray matter and keep it there that the most important point in the making of a good husband is the mak- ing of a good wife. That takes time and experience, but two processes can . go along side by side, for you needn’t expect Billy to be ready_for the last coat of varnish by day after tomorrow No. indeedy. little girl, you can't turn out finished husbands like you can bet waffles. and speaking of waffles brings me right back to the starting point in the home industry I’m talking about. That’s a little matter of feed. It’s a fact so old that even Eve got a hint of it that the first princiv ple in the man- agement of a man is the sat- isfaction of his stomach. What ever else he may be. no mat- . ter how full of 3 f" brains his head. ' he’s an animal F»; and he wants l -â€"~‘ to be fed. \Vil)‘. ’ A bee line tor the first I’ve see u the car. greatest apos tles of the doctrines of sweetness and light sit down to the table and eat like a blue ribbon porker with his ' feet in the trough. Yet comparatively l few women appreciate the importance ' of this fact, and many a home is ruined by the theory that anything that hap- pens to be handiest will do for dinner. It won't Give him the best his in- come will afi'ord and see to it yourself that it is properly cooked. The aver age man isn‘t hard to satisfy. He doesn‘t banker after the strange and weird dishes you‘ll find in the. cook- books. Iic doesn’t care for airy wafers and delicate ices. He only wants some- thing plain and substantial and filling. like roast beef or bacon or ham and How? 011, my dear little girl, you have a better counselor than I right at home. I’m not saying that your mother did a very good job with me. but, bless her heart, It wasn't because she didn't know how. The trouh’ie was with the i didn’t have anything to do with lay- ing out this arrangement. It’s that way, and I reckon the Lord knows what he’s about. 013 em1rse some men are too’ soft and some too tough to do anything with, but the most of them are plastic enough for practical pur- poses, and I’m satisfied your William’s one of the majority “Your Material ls Mud." It’s up to you. sweetheart, to take the material you have and make a good husband out of it. Don’t expect nor try to do more than that. Don’ t attempt to mold him into a, figure of Gabriel toot- ing a trombone. Don’t try to put too many fine lines in your model. It you do. the whole blamed thing will come to pieces. and then, little girl, you can never, never put it together again. Just remember that your material is. mud, and mud, even in the hands of any. expert modeler, has its limitations. Resin-am your ambition to the point of making a good husband, and when you have accomplished that be satisfied with keeping him so. you prefer it. A man Is fist a piece of soft clay in a woman’s hands, and whether he ranks Al or double naught as a husband depends a good deal p5,. hnw she handles him. Yes, that places a pretty considerable responsibility on rhp woman, but you needn’t blame me. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE “Face the Music." There are several theories concerning theorigin of the slang phrase “Face the music.” It is said to have come from the army. One of the difficulties in training horses for the military service was that of getting them to face the regimental hand without cut- ting up a rumpus. Another authority says also that it is of military origin, but that it was applied to soldiers when they were drummed out to the tune of “The Rogue’s March.” Still another ver- sion is that it is used by actors behind the scenes when preparing to go on the. stage to face the music literally.- Hlnneapolis J onrnal. ' “..ay.” he asked. “what happened when you had'that trouble with the other conductor?” The stout man looked back. “I was in the hospital six weeks,” he mildly answered. â€"Cleveland Plain Dealer. 0 But when the stout man was about to-alight from the car at the Pennsyl- vania crossing the conductor’s curios- ity was too much for him. The conductor drew back a little and made no further attempt to collect the stout man’s fare “That's just enough of this.” he growled. “I don't want to have any trouble with you. I had trouble with a conductor once. I’d hate to tell you What happened.” ' The stout man grew very red. His hair seemed to bristle. i I i to say on that side presently.

For instance, if you were to fall into the habit of strolling over to a neighbor's every evening while he reads the pa- pers he'd have good cause to grumble and probably woull. He married to get a companion. not just a housekeep- er. and he wants you with him. not all of the time. but most of the time. when he's at horhe. He vants you to sit on the other side of the table by the fireside; he wants to read to you or have you read to him; he wants to gossip with you just like pals; he wants to tell you of his hopes and ambitions; he wants you to help him in his struggle with the world by your sympathy. your encouragement and your advice; he wants to hear your troublesâ€"not the endless repe- tition of the daily string of annoy- ances which come to every wife, but the real troubles, the problems which you find it hard to solve for yourself. And, over and above all, little girl, he wants to feel the gentle caress in touch and speech; the little evidences of the love that does not die with the honeymoon, but lives on and grows stronger and stronger with each pass- g year. low for the woman who presides over it.
