HOW TO TREAT A 8WEETHEART
“Th kindest and tbs happiest pair
Will find occasion to forbear
And something every day they lira
To pity and perhaps forgive"
The man who has progressed suf-
ficiently in his lore affairs to call his
best girl sweet-
heart need not
think that love's
pursuit Is entire-
ly won
This Is the crit-
ical epoch In lov-
ers' lives He has
not as yet asked
the all-important
question Hopes
and fears are
equally balanced
In his heart If
he’s too bold In
showing her af-
fection he fright-
ens the very timid
maiden If he re-
strains his ardor
many a girl thinks
him lacking in heart warmth even in
Interest After escorting her home
from some affair and the hour Is
drawing close to midnight he
shouldn't expect to be Invited In
even though the girl’s mamma or
spinster aunt Is awaiting them in the
parlor Nor should he linger to caress
her at the door If a girl refuses him
a good-night kiss he should not Insist
upon it More young men have lost
nice girls In this way than any other
Because she refuses he should not
taunt her with being an Iceberg
wanting in affection when she may be
one of those nice little maidens who
remember the Instructions laid down
by her wise old grandmamma: “Too
much affection is a bar to matrimony
with young people” If he would hold
the girl’s affection at this critical Junc-
ture he must be In his wooing Judi-
cious neither too bold nor too back-
ward He must show tenderness with-
out giving her cause for annoyance
yielding gracefully to her will and not
expecting her to be pleased with all
that he says or does Girls ought to
be chary of their kisses as every
sensible young man should know In-
stead of being angry with her for re-
fusing he should respect her all the
more
He hasn’t earned the right as yet
to claim her undivided attention nor
must his conversation always be on
the one topic of love It would weary
even the most enamored of girls and
he would long meditate over how It
was that some other young man who
had been little in the society of wom-
en and knew nothing comparatively of
love-making cut him out The wise
man proposes and weds his sweet-
heart He Is a wise man who realizes
that he should not make violent love
to a sweetheart and allow her to
starve for the crumbs of affection
after she becomes his wife The hap-
piest pair are those who do not do
so much courting but treat each
other cordially tenderly yet with a
certain restraint looking forward to
the tying of the marriage knot
A MARRIED MAN’S RIGHT8
Without our hopes without our fears
Without the home that plighted love en-
dears Without the smile from partial beauty
won
Oh! what were man? A world without a
sun
Are there hard and fast rules re-
garding a married man’s rights 7 Le
us see!
He has the right to be called the
pillar of society because he Is the
foundation the main support of a fam-
ily He has the right to elbow single
men aside and pluck all the plums
the best positions offer because he
Is married His rights extend further
to paying the household bills delving
early night and day to make money to
give his wife comforts to buy her
costly clothes that she may enjoy a
life of luxury and ease bridge after-
noons and hesitation waltzing at
night
A married man has a right to be up-
before dawn on a bitter cold morning
making a fire in the kitchen range
calling his wife when the coffee is
ready
A married man's rights are to deny
himself anything more than he abso-
lutely needs and to save save save
while his little girls are growing up
The girls declare when they are old
enough to have beaux that father has
a light to refurnish the parlor He
has a right to keep out of It when
young men are calling The married
man has a right to pay his wife’s bills
when she is off summering In summer
and wintering In winter The right
Is his to furnish the family with an
automobile servants and cash The
married man has a right to go to bed
early to rest up for the next day's
work while his family are enjoying
the theater or ball
He has the right to wear cloth of
last year’s cut Inexpensive even a
bit shabby so long as his women folk
are arrayed in the gowns of the pre-
vailing mode
He has the right to Invite marriage-
able young men home to dinner to
meet the daughters that the curtain
lectures may ease upon him
He has the' right to have his say so
about having the kind of dinner he
likes— corned beef and cabbage at
least once a week — that one day of all
others when guests rarely drop In to
dine — Monday wash dsy The mar-
ried man has a right to give his daugh-
ter In marriage to a man he detests
after having argued the matter out
with his wife and lost the battle
Father has a right to take the new
son-in-law Into his business putting
the young man’s experience against
hls hard-earned capital
The married man has a right to
keep up with the times that hls family
may be pleased Instead of ashamed
of his carelessness in dress speech or
habits
married man has a right to all
the devotion of hls family He bus a
right to provide for them bountifully—
and to be glad that he is alive
WHEN COURTSHIP IS ONLY TALK
I told her of the knlsht that wore
Upon hls shield a burning brand
And that for ten lone years he wooed
The Iadr of the Land
It is wonderful how many excuses
women make for men who court for
years but somehow evade popping
the question
Some women lay It to a man’s bash-
fulness his cold nature lack of suf-
ficient funds anything everything
but the right reason that he really
doesn’t want to marry Of course he
gives her Innumerable hints and cer-
tainly gives her to understand that he
Is fond of her He realizes that it
would be a very foolish girl who
would waste her time on him other-
wise Women are wont to pin their hopes
upon sich trifling expressions as
“some day I expect to have a home
of my own" “Few men settle down
until after they marry” “It takes a
wife to give a man ambition to ac-
cumulate" When a girl repeats this
talk to her anxious relatives she soft-
ens their hearts toward him They
conclude with such Ideas it Is only a
question of a short time until he asks
her hand In marriage But when the
seasons come and go and there Is no
sign of a coming wedding the practi-
cal ones of the household begin to
doubt his matrimonial Intentions and
assert their belief that he Is only pass-
ing away the time at her expense —
hearing himself talk No modest girl
can take the Initiative and give a man
a hint that she’s Interested In know-
ing hls intentions
It Is a delicate matter for her folks
to Interfere He may have valid rea-
sons Then again he may not have
any reason for not proposing at pres-
ent In Boston they believe In taking
time by the forelock The women
have petitioned the legislature to pass
a bill fixing the legal limit of two
years on courtship If a man calls
regularly upon a woman for that
length of time monopolizing her en-
tire attention they would have It as-
sumed that he Is on marriage intent
and he would be held legally account-
able If he attempts to shirk the re-
sult of courtship— marriage We sug-
gested that courtship should have a
time limit In this column some time
ago The Boston women were quick
to catch the good Judgment of the sug-
gestion Long-drawn-out courtships
rarely end In wedlock In such in-
stances the man In the case grows
languid in hls love making The fire
has diea out of hls heart The same
woman cannot kindle hls ardor into
eager love again When a girl real-
izes that a man Is all talk — but her
hopes end there — out of duty to her-
self and her own future she should
give some other man a chance reliev-
ing not only her anxiety but that of
the friends nearest and dearest to her
as well The man who talks love but
not marriage Is the bane of society
Vegetable 8pongea
One of the most remarkable In-
stances of nature providing for the
wants of man Is In the vegetable
sponges of Ecuador The vine on
which the sponge grows Is found on
the flat wet lands of this republic ap-
pearing only during the rainy reasons
It is an annual and grows rapidly
after the fashion of a pumpkin vine
with long smooth fruit resembling a
summer squash
Upon ripening the fruit Is gath-
ered and dried when the Interior Is
seen to be composed of a tangled net-
work of fine fibers with black seeds
similar to those of the watermelon
The dried skin Is easily removed
when the fibrous network or sponge Is
ready for use after one side has been
cut open Washing In a few wa-
ters removes all extraneous materials
and the sponge may be used as any
other The poor people use them for
washing dishes and when bathing
claiming they are superior to the ani-
mal sponge
Felt He Had Paid Hls Pap
It happened on a three-cent car line
The car was crowded A German got
on He bought a quarter’s worth of
tickets (eight) The conductor took
one and handed him the others
"Tickets” called the conductor as
he came around for fares again The
unsophisticated one gave him anoth-
er Other calls and finally the Ger-
man handed over hls last ticket say-
ing: “Py himmel I puy no more tick
ets! I valk!” And he got off and
walked

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Plcturs of “Hollaring Jonas” at Fa-
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform
A well-known Illustrator who makes
Interesting western pictures once
made the acquaintance of a noisy but
good-humored cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation of “Hollering Jones”
In physical appearance this man was
typical of hls kind and the artist made
several studies of him both in re-
pose and In hls favorite diversion of
“hollering" Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maga-
zine They showed Jones In his most
violent state
A year later the artist again visited
the region He was soon approached
by Mr Jones himself bearing one of
the pictures which he had torn from
the magazine in which it was printed
Pointing to It he asked :
“Is that met”
"Well” replied the artist evasively
"I got the general Idea from you of
course but — ”
"Oh 1 ain’t takln’ no offense” Jones
made haste to say “It’s all right only
If it’s me say eo"
"If you put it to me that way” said
the artist “I can only reply that it is
a fairly good portrait of you”
“The men here on the ranch agree
with you Bo I look like that when I
holler do I?”
“I think you do"
"In that case” said Hollering Jones
"all I’ve got to say Is that Hollering
Jones has hollered hls last holler
Hereafter when I celebrates I does
so with a tin horn In my own opin-
ion no man has a right to look like
that — not round white folks anyhow”

As Herbert Cory tells It he went to
a dinner once where Andrew Carnegie
was a guest
“After the eating was over and the
speechmaking had started” said
Corey “Mr Carnegie reached In hia
pocket for something and pulled out
a handful of small change A dime got
away from him and fell on the floor
and at the first chance Mr Carnegie
got down under the table and looked
for It”
“Did he find It?" asked one of the
audience to whom Corey waa narrat-
ing the incident
“Did he find It?” echoed Corey "He

"Nsvor Again!"
“Never again” was the conclusion
of a story told by a young bridegroom
of the month after he related bis ef-
forts to please hls bride by fulfilling
her every wish
Sitting In hls office a few days after
the v adding be received a telephone
call which was something like this:
"Dearie I do so hate to trouble you
but I have run out of lace for that
dress I was making and I can’t finish
It until I have another yard Can't
you stop at the store and get some as
you come home — Oh I can tell you
what It Is like — Just four leaves then
a sprig then four leaves then a sprig
and 'so on — It’s Just two threads over
an Inch wide”
He hung up the receiver and mopped
hls brow He walked by the store
twice finally entered and approached
the lace counter She was pretty but
be bad been married only a week and
waa busy repeating In hls mind:
"Four loaves then a sprig”

of lace I got It but — ” — Indianapolis

No Airs About Her
“Airs!” exclaimed the proud mother
and shook her head vigorously “My
Elsie for all her learning hasn't any
more airs so to speak than her poor
old dad”
"Then she won’t turn up her nose at
her old friends?" queried the visitor
"La no!”
"How refreshing! Most girls who go
through college nowadays will hardly
look at you after they're graduated”
"Well they ain’t like my Elsie that’s
all 1 can say” retorted Elsie’s ma
“She's become a carnivorous reader of
course and she frequently Importunes
music But stuck up — my Elsie? Not
bit She's unanimous to everybody
has a most Infantile vocabulary and
what’s more never keeps a caller
waiting while she dresses up No she
Just runs down nom de plume as she
Is”
Heartless
Absorbed in her own sweet thoughts
Miranda meandered through the
meadow coyly aware that In the dis-
tance her lover awaited her coming
The sun just popped off this earth as
Miranda was clasped in her lover's
Sandow embrace
"It has been the longest day In the
year" he whispered ardently as he
held her still closer
How perfectly sweet of him thought
Miranda as she closed her eyes In an
acstasy of happiness
"Sweetheart” she breathed raising
her face to his "why has it been so
long?"
"Because — because” he answered
lamely — “well because my dear girl
It's the twenty-first of June”

Rather Effeminate
Congressman Peter J Dooling of
New York smiled the other evening
when reference at a dinner was made
to effeminate uays He said he was
reminded of the explanation of Smith
Some time ago the Smiths attended
a reception where they met a man
named Brown On the way home
while exchanging opinions of the
guests Brown was mentioned
“Speaking of that man Brown” vig-
orously remarked Smith "he certainly
has an effeminate way of talking”
"Why John” was the wondering re-
joinder of Mrs Smith "How can you
say that? He certainly has a very loud
and masculine voice!”
"Yes I know he has” explained
Smith "but what I mean Is that he
talks all the time” — Philadelphia Tele-
