And he—with sweet masculine simplicity— Knew that “she hadn’t a fault in the world” And loved her for her fancied “perfection’ And because he loved her, He draped her in all his beautiful illusions, and Stuck @ halo on her head, And to HIM, her profile was not irregular—it was “piquant,” And her childish little ways were not silly—they ‘ were “cute,” And her rather extreme clothes were not com spicuous—they were “stunning!” And she was “the most wonderful woman in the world!" (Ob, YOU know how it is—when a man’s in love with you!) And then, One day, just as they were making-up, after a little love-spat, | HER mother dropped in, and said, “Poor John! You'll have to be patient with Molly. She's got ber | Father's hasty temper, you know. But she doesn't MiJAN anything!” And, after that, there were no more sweet “makings-up,” Because, no matter what they disagreed about, or who was at fault, He KNEW it was all “her hasty temper.” And, another day, Just as she was trying on a new hat, and he was about to take her in his arms, and tell her she was “the loveliest thing on earth’, Her sister happened in, and said—in the usual sweet elsterly way— | For heaven’s sake! Where did you pick up THAT atrocity? John, you really ought to help Molly select her hats. You have SUCH good taste! | And Molly loves to get herself up like “The Queen of the Gypsie: | And after that, when people turned around to look at her, | He squirmed with discomfort instead of swelling with pride. | Because he KNEW that there must be “something wrong with her o | clothes,” | And that it wasn’t her “beauty” that attracted attention, after all! uy And, another day, Just as she was mixing battercakes for him, And he was thinking what a clever little wife he had, Her Cousin Jane ran in—and threw up her hands in horror, and said, “My gracious goodness, Molly! Is THIS the way you keep house’— And after that, No matter how hard she tried, He KNEW that, whenever anything went wrong in the house, It was the fault of her “carelessness” and “lack of method!” AND, When he had got “tired of trying to reform her,” And she had grown “tired of being picked on,” And they had bickered and quarrelled, and SEPARATED, Her family felt dreadful about it, | And said it was “such a pity!” John had SEEMED like such a nice fellow—and SO fond of Molly; but “you never can tell about men!” And they urged them, with tears in their eyes, to “make it all up!" But, once a man’s illusions are shattered, and once a woman's vanity is crushed, NOBODY can “put humpty-Dumpty together again!” - And the moral is, yi ertnreee eee Pipe esti Sane ‘ “Keep off the grass—in the matrimonial Garden of Eden!” DD Sis y . 3 80-CENT GAS IN DANGER. T SHOULD be clearly understood that in deciding the 80-cent gas rate to be confiscatory and illegal in the case of the Brooklyn Boroish Gas Company, Referee Charles 1. Hughes renders a decision which applies solely to that company and the territory it serves, Much of this territory, consisting of Coney Island, Gravesend and part of Flatbush, is comparatively thinly settled. Extensive parts of it must have more gas in summer than in winter. The revenue and outlay of a gas company which supplies gas to such a section cannot & used as a bacis for determining what constitutes fair gas rates for th more crowed areas of Brooklyn and Manhattan So obvious is this that it seems incredible the Consolidated, th Brooklyn Union and ¢ should take the He pany’s case as the signal for a new drive against 80-cent gas. or big gas corporations of Greater New York es decision in the Brooklyn Borough Gas Com-, Never:Lel indications are that if the pending claim of thi i Kings County Lighting Company is similarly successful gas con- t sumers throughout the city may have to be defended against a for- midable effort on the part of the gas companies to sweep away the 80-cent gaz rate. It would be indeed unfortunate if these two Brooklyn wards— the Thirt‘vtl and Thirty-first—which were at first excluded from’ the 80-Cent Gas that law secured by The Evening World in 1916, only to furnish! should have been included in the extension of —— opportunity for powerful gas interests to start a move for a general! boosting of gas rates all over New York. | } The present mistrustful and defensive attitude.

The referee who upholds the claim of the Brooklyn Borough (as! 3 Company is none the less known as anything but an enemy of S80- cent gas. | Tt was the notable success of Charles Evans Hughes as counse! to the Stevens Committee which investigated the lighting monope ly of New York in 1905 that paved the way for 80-cent gas and went f. ar] J toward winning Mr. Hughes the nomination for Governor. | When Mr. Hughes formally accepted that nomination at the} Republican Club in this city on the night of Oct. 3, 194 OL”. a eee » his speecn,| addressed to the Chairman and Notification Committee, placed 80-cent | . cae high among the “genuine reforms” accomplished in Now York.
