This is & most exceptional case in these days, however. It is amazing how some mothers will permit little children to interrupt conversations by their prattle of childish things when callers | directed toward him or her and not to the neighbor or stranger. Another example comes to mind of this very thing. When the. mother had a caller her little boy invariably rushed into the room and lavished caresses and kisses on his mother. She accepted them in good faith and thus had her attention so diverted from what was cerned. Sometimes children will insist upon playing in and out of & room in which mother is entertaining caller.

Puds Simkins cam: back from his ants house in the country yestidday, and he had all his pockits full of little bits of green apples, and I was sitting on his frunt steps tawking to him and he took out one of the apples and started to eat it, me saying; Hay, they aint to eat, green appies aint to eat. And he finished the apple and pulled out another one and started to eat it, saying, Of course if your too delicate to eat a teeny little green apple, thats diffrent, nobody’s asking you to. ‘Whose delicate? I sed. If I coudent eat more green apples than you, or any other color apples either, Id resign from the werld, I sed. And I started to prove it by eating 2 every time he ate one, the result being I ate 10 in about 5 minnits, and all of a sudden I got a fearse pane on the inside of my stummick, and I grabbed a hold of the outside, saying, Owtch, | darn the luck, I mite of knew this would happen, I told you you awtent to eat green apples.

WHY are men afraid of their wives? Why do men stand for being henpecked? A man asks these questions.

Why do they have to have wife's O. K. on all their comings and goings? Why do they not dare to ask an old friend to make a visit without consuiting wife as she asks people to visit her without consulting husband? Why do they live where wife says instead of where husband wants to? Why, when there is a difference of opinion on any subject, do they compromise by doing wife's way?

Then there were custards and junkets and blanc manges and of course bread and milk. But a favorable combination for all the family except chilled, soft custard with oranges and sliced bananas in its depths. When Nancy made this, even Peter passed back his sherbet glass for a second helping. Nancy put two cups of milk in a double boiler and let it get hot.
