HILE unhappy husbands needn’t try to traco all their woes to the delicatessen store, there is truth in the contention et s clergyman that the delicatessen puts a strain upon happiness in New York. “There ts nothing,” he says, “that sends a man into the day Better prepared for victory than a good breakfast and a clean shave. New York women are too prone to dip their fingers into every pickle jar of the corner delicatesuen store instead of - @toking wholesome meals for their husbands. The kind of Greakfasts that do a man good do not come from the delica- _teasen, which is catering to a general trade and cannot make @hings as each individual would like them.” Schemes to cut down the cost of living by establishing low price Fkete make little headway in this town. Why? Because the tele- and the delicatessen store have made marketing for the home mn. too inconvenient to suit the habits of the average Now York » And there lies the big difference between the husband’s job and wife's job. The man uses labor saving devices—telephones, type- tars, etc.—to crowd on :nore steam and put more earning capac y io his day's work. The woman too often seizes upon convenience pavoid doing any work at all. A quarter's worth of sliced ham from a delicatessen will action that a home-cooked slice » The husband works just as hard, pays the same or more, gains ng. On the contrary he loses the benefits of wholesome home .

The vacation was looked forward to from Christmas time on, Mother began to make white embroidered dresses for little Mary and waists for little John and pretty things for the baby.

Y Daughter, there are many things that a man may do which are accounted piquant, even fascinating, but a woman who attempteth them must be either rich or beautiful. Behold, when a man scoffeth at women and pretendeth to despise them all be called “interesting” and the damsels shall clap their hands end cry “HOW funny!” But she that maketh a mockery of men shall be called “MAN HATER,’ which is to say “hard up.” For a female cynic is as a grain of dust in the eye or a nail in the shoe, a painful thing which cannot be endured, ’ i But a male cynic weareth a ribbon upon his eyeglass and is applauded for his “wit” wherever women are gathered together. When a man crosseth his knees so that the purple of his socks ig displayed, oven unto the gartor clasp, it shocketh not the bromides. 5 But if a damsel displayeth so much as oue silken ankle they shall cry “Tut, tut!” He that discourseth of his accomplishments, of the battles he hath fought and the ducks he hath shot, is considered “entertaining” and meay medals shall be pinned on him. But she who talketh of her CHARMS and retaileth her conquests is an abomination in the sight of men. A youth may chew cloves, yet if he be a good dancer he shall find 20 lack of partners, but she thet useth a cheap perfume shall sit against the wall forever. When a man promenadeth the streets he stoppeth to stare after the pretty dam: and appraiseth her candidly. yea, when she crosseth a gutter he turneth to look at ber But when a woman strolleth forth she keepeth her eyes fixed upon the heavens as one that seeth angels, for if she so much as glanceth toward a man he shall say: “Aha! I have made a HIT! She observeth me!” , Lo! I went among a gathering of men and women, and some of them were intellectual and some of them were suffragists, but ALL of them were feminists. And the men took out their cigars and their cigarettes and proceeded to blow smoke in the eyes of the women and to scent their clothes with tobacco. But the women sat and endured ‘Then the men said: without murmur, “Lo, since we may smoke, why may not the women smoke also? For we KNOW that they do it in private.” But three of the fattest women arose and cried: “Nay, nay! It {s not PROPER!” ‘And thereupon ALL the women voted AGAINST permitting themselves to smoke. And the men laughed and continued to blow emoke rings. Verily, verily, my Daughter, when the Ballot cometh and women sit in the seats of the Mighty, I ehall ask only this: that in mine hour of fm iquity I shall be judged by a jury of MEN only! Selah.
