In his statement Gov.

Judson, the jhnior partner, was back from his wedding trip. Mr. Jarr was one of the first to felicitate him on having braved all the perils of the honeymoon. The good wishes of Jenkins, the bookkeeper, and Johnson, the cashier, and all the rest followed. Judson bad asked them to “call up to our littie place” at that rather in- definite date, “some day.” Then the office friends began to advise him as to how to steer his bark successfully through the seemingly calm and peaceful waters of matrimony. “You want to start in from the very beginning, being kind, but firm,” said Jenkins, ‘Remember, now is the time to get down to cases on & working agreement that will, through all the rest of your life, leave you a free man--that is, as free as any man who is married can be.” “What would you advise? Be spe- cific,” said Judson, “I am going to be that. You must join a club.” “But I gave up all my clubs,” fal- tered the junior partner. “I thought I'd have no more use for a club after I married.” “You won't,” said Mr, Jarr, “and, furthermore, it ls doubtful if you will have the money to pay dues"—— “Let me explain this to him,” in- terrupted Jenkins. “Judson, you want a club and you want it quick!” “But I don’t want to go to any olub, and, furthermore, I don't desire even to pretend I want to join a club. I want to be at home; that’s what I married for.” “I thought the eame, too,” sald Jenkins, “but I was advised by an experienced friend. So I took Tues- Gay night off from the very begin- ning. Now I am free any Tuesday night.” “But I don't want to adopt a sub- terfuge like that. It doesn't seem square.” “You mean you don't want to leave dome nights,” eaid Mr. Jenkins. “That's the way I felt, too, The first six months my Tuesday night off was &@ lonesome horror to me 1 was Gowntown, bumming and discon- wolate, I'd rather, a hundred times, heave been home, But after six months the proposition began to draw dividends, Now I even call special meetings of that club at The Jarr Family By Roy L.

We label the girl “wayward” and the youthful boy, her accomplice, as “weak.” Their defense is that it was too quiet and dull where they lived and they could not withstand the lure of the gay life of the white way. ‘When, oh when, will young women realize the emptiness of it all and that such wild oats produce only a harvest of woe? They can't be blind to it. Every day the public prints are full of such experiences—the way- wardness that ends up in broken health, broken ties, broken lives. Better by far, my dear girl, had you endured the dulness of the quiet town and avoided the anguish which you now no doubt endure, There is a great jesson for your sisters who live out- side the precincts of the big city.

They will bear witness of its folly and aftermath. There is always the ac- counting, and sometimes the penalty ia severe indeed. In contrast, I know a young woman who lives in @ quiet suburb and longs for the city, but in a different way. She longs to make good there. She 1s pursuing the course of a pro- fession, Many quiet hours are given over to study and reading and re- search work so that she may fit her- self to take some part in the world’s work and—who knows?—perhaps a big part, She makes herself love the simple pleasures, the recreations, the games that are at hand. For she is wise enough to realize that after all pleas- ave her weak and wan and weary.

Yet it's a good working arrangement. We call it ‘The Sheltering Order of Wok-Wok.’” “The Sheltering Order of Wok- Wok?" repeated Judson, “That's it's name," said Mr. Jen- kins, “Sounds moral and beneficial, doesn’t it?

And, to be honest, I was not at all averse to her going.
