It'll do it unless, every little while, you grease it with a new interest Dr. Gunsaulus proposes an eleventh commandment: “Get a fad.” A fad is something you like to work at when your regu ‘lar work begins to tire.

The extent and character of a lawful kiss has been a subject of judicial consideration in Mil- waukee. An engaged couple, seated on a couch before a window, in full view of passers by, were swept into an osculation of such intensity that a neigh- bor complained. You know there are many kinds of neighbors in this varied world; and this one apparently was of the kind which is bound to feel grouchy if others are happy. ‘aking note of what evidently was none of his business, he held a stop watch on the blissful pair and took oath before the judge that the kiss lasted 20 minutes. Being themselves unconscious of time's flight, the happy lovers weren't able to swear that the neighbor was mistaken. They admitted the kiss; in fact, were proud of it; and based their defense on the contention that engaged couples, within the shelter of the maternal home, have a right to kiss as often and as soulfully as they please. This sounds like pretty good law; at least like what the law, if it were good, ought to be. But, alas, the judge must have been a crusty fellow. He ruled that the neighbor’s protest was well taken; that being engaged gave the defendants no right to stage a public exhibition; and by way of admonishment fined them $10 apiece plus the costs.

But when you open the door, you are quite as tonished how warm and comfortable It is in there. “The back part of the cave is shut off by a pretty Chinese fold- Ing screen, on which bright and wonderful birds are pecking at bright and remarkable flowers, Behind it lies a rspring mat. » with a white damask counterpane, and on the mattress is a white pillow. “On the trunk of a birch tree which supports the roof hangs a nice, big, red clock. “The whole room Is hung with white damask, the celling, too, #0 that It looks just lke snow. On the ground is spread a thick, soft Smyrna carpet, and in one corner stands little stove with colored glass panes, in which the dry wood crackles and burns so cheerlly that it is quite delightful. On the walis hang a grand mirror and a number of colored pictures. “Then in the middie stands a table with a white cloth, with @ pretty colored lamp on it. Just now a very delicate colored cof- fi Pot with red poppies, made of beautiful china, Is also standing on it. “Round the middie table two comfortable, big armchairs are standing, and some other nicely carved ones for guests. “And do you know where ail these things come from?
