Many a woman thinks that because she possesses her husband, because she has a marriage certificate, it gives her the right to anything. However, she soon finds that though possession may be nine points of. the iaw it loses out to the one point of love. The nagging woman reminds me of a piece of furniture in tHe house whose presence we know only by the annoying creaks. And usually sucn women chain down their husbands w their nagging ways. If they would only realize that a loose rein invites co-operation in the drive of double harness and that a little Iberty is relished by the best of husbands! If every woman would only be a little introspective, ghe would learn that what she is trying to do by her constant tirades fs to hold the hus- band fast to her. The truth is that the magnet that draws the wife's way is charged with the substance of consideration. The ons way to avoid nagging is to overlook the trifles that, if argued, become magnified. The way to hap- piness is paved with sacrifice— especially sacrificing one’s own desire to vent anger—anger mainly brought on by one’s self. And, finally, let it be known that everyday experience has shown that even little flares of temper will soon develop a conflagration in which a woman's happiness and that of her husband are burned beyond redemp- tion. The next article will be about the man who was “starved” out of his home, ae What They’re Wearing The Expert Dope on Smart Rags for Tidy Dressers By Neal R.

JARR appeared in the door- way and beckoned to Mr. Jarr, who obediently dropped his newspaper at the gesture and fol- lowed her to the window by the air- shaft. ‘What is it?’ he whispered, for Mrs. Jarr had her finger on her I\ps, signifying that he be quiet. She nudged him but did not answer, and then Mr. Jarr was aware of a fem- inine voice up the airshaft. “IT wish you'd pay some attention to what I am saying,’ said the voice whimperingly. ‘You are just like my cousin, Roswell, who married a widow with eight children, Sometimes he would be silent for days, and other times he would carry on like a ma- niac, just because his oldest stepson would be shooting on the roof with a cat rifle, and sometimes broke win- dows and nearly hit some of the neighbors’ children, and he wanted to send that poor boy to a reform school!** “This don't interest me,’’ whis- pered Mr. Jarr, and attempted to break away, but Mrs. Jarr held on to him, “And my cousin, Roswell, nevei had any luck, either!" the complain- ing voice went on, ‘‘He was hurt in a railroad accident, and although he got $10,000 from the railroad com pany his store burned down not long afterward and was a total loss. though he collected the insurance everybody said it was a warning be- cause he did not love his step- children."* | Could You Earn the ‘‘Fliteh of Bacon’’? — HE first modern revival of the T celebrated English "fliteh of bacon"’ custom took place 221 years ago, June 7, 1701, when Will- fam Parsley, a butcher of Much Faston, and his spouse appeared in court at Dunmow, and, having con- vinced a jury of five old maids that they had not quarrelled within the Space of three yeurs and were in the of cun- Joyment of a perfect sta nublal felicity, were rewarded with a tlitch or “gammon’* of bacon The Dunmow custom, thus revived, had its beginning in the middle ages, when the jolly celibate monks of Dunmow Priory offered to bestow a fitch of bacon uvon any couvle who, after a twelvemonth of matrimony, caine forward and made oath at Dun- mow that they had not had a quarrel, never regretted their marriage, anil would do it over again if they lad the opportunity. So far as the records show only three filtehes of bacon were awarded the Dunniow monks, After the suppression of religious establishments the offer was with- drawn, but in 1701 it was revived and William Parsley arfd his wife proved to the satisfaction of the spinster Jury their right to the prize. Since then there have been many notable ceremonies at Dunmow, when couples enjoying the highest degree of mat- rimonial felicity have been acclaimed by multitudes not so blessed by Hy- men. by McCardell 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. Mr. Jarr wiped his brow, but Mrs Jarr held him to hear the rest. “And there's your Aunt Fanny, in Newark, who has fits,"’ sald the fem inine voice, and is cruel to her step- daughter and accuses her of jumping out from behind doors and screaming at ler till it brings on attacks.
