[7 HICH is the better companion, the dirt stained, hard working housewife, or the clean, lazy one? That is the t which a men’s club in Brazil, Ind., selected as a sub- et for debate. The novelty of the subject is about equal to fate of the man who argues im favor of the clean, idle if his wife is the hard working kind, should she hear views on the subject. Tt goes’ without saying that the man will win the debate who argues that the woman who has no maids or servants and who does her own housework, who looks like a turbaned P on sweeping and dusting days, and who gets all dirtied between romping with the babies and baking the bread, is ie better companion.

One reason is because I don't like to shave, and think I am so old and wise if I had }a smooth face. About the shaving part of it, though, the women of to- day should be thankful to the say- age pre-historic man for saving her that daily trouble. Away back {n the dim past, about 50,000 or 100,000 years ago, you know, women had as much hair on their faces as the men. As man did the choosing of his mate, it didn't matter much how he looked, but his one idea as to the desirability of women was that they must have youth, In stealing or buying a bride, then, the cave man alwa: chose a young girl. When a girl's face became fuzzy, {t was a sign that she was getting old, and her chances of mating were slight Women who developed beards early were sure to be spinsters, while those whose beards sprouted late had an excellent chance. Thus, through the intervening centuries, the males weeded out the bearded ladies until they became ex. tinet. Unfortunately for the men who have to spend much time or money to keep the follage off their face, there was no one to perform that cruel but kind service for them. Or else they were lazy, as they might have rubbed ft off against the rocks, of which there were a-plenty.

It can only accommodate about two hundred buyers at once. For every pair must be fitted, there being a rule which allows of no exchanges. : So far, the crowd outside has been greater than that on the inside. In Sunday’s advertisement I urged that folks come later in the week. Monday’s crowds are always big and strong. And behold, yesterday’s attendance was the big- gest of any.
