ska,
Not so. He goes as the crow flies—
exactly where the spirit moves him.
Metaphorically he throws time to the
dogs, and his chest expands with the
joy of living.
Meanwhile he tells himself that,
having pleased his family, he has
earned the right to please himself—
which means?— It depends upon the
man. There is, as we all know, a
very caddish sort of grass-widower
who palms himself off as a bachelor
and goes on his way callously, tramp-
ling down honor and boasting of
"scalps." With him we have nothing
to do. Our sort is the man who is
manly, and who is going to have a
good time at no one's expense save
his own.
Man is a lover of things edible, and
so the grass-widower begins his good
time by good breakfasting. He forti-
fies the "inner man" in so satisfying
a manner that his countenance fairly
beams, for he has eaten those things
that his palate has long craved, things
that they "never have at home."
His conscience gives him a little
prick when he remembers why his
thrifty Mary does not serve costly
delicacies, fit only for a plutocrat, to
a family of seven. However, he has
enjoyed his tidbit and thinks no more

of its cost. The piper's bills may be
Bteep, but man usually pays ungrudg-
ingly.
Later he prowls around a bit. tubs
luxuriously, and gets into togs fit for
the possible company of ladie •. Wit fe-
ed man? Not so, mesdames: Who
shall tell whom a lone man may run
chased provender for one meal at the
cost of a similar festival at a fash-
ionable restaurant. Let us see. The
steak is as thick as a slender roast.
He decides to broil it in a pan. He
does—not wisely, but too well. He
lets it cook itself while he answers
the clamoring 'phone. Jones and he
covenant together to go out upon a
motor trip an hour hence. When he
hangs up the receiver, his nostrils are
greviously offended. He sprints
kitchenward. There is no steak
There is a cinder. Also there is no
pan. Our hero uses strenuosities of
expression, nad goes steakless the
while. That night Jones wonders why
his companion eats so ravenously. Po-
liteness forbids comment; neverthe-
less Jones wonders. The joys of home
cooking are honored in the breach
henceforth by our friend. At the
worst, while the lunch counter flour-
ishes, no man need cook, decides he.
To a grass-widower, next in com-
panionableness to the cheerful clock,
comes a good leakless hose.
What is the natural impulse of
the home-coming man upon
torrid night? Exactly! To get
the hose. What fun he gets
out of it only another man of simi-
lar mind can appreciate. How he de-
lights in deluging the street before
his own door, then before his heigh-
bor's on the right, then upon the left,
and after them the deluge across the
way, as far as his nozzle will reach.
How he aches to sprinkle that silly
spooning couple across the way, or
would delight in sousing the girl's too
uumindful parents.
Ever and anon he chuckles .mirth-
fully. Ah! if he dared take off his
shoes and socks and paddle around
upon the wet pavement. He does
not; \\hat would Mary say, he won-
ders, and for her sake, and a little be-
cause he'd hate like sin to be car.sht
red-handed or barefooted in so boy-
ish an act, he keeps on his "tans."
Finally he unscrews his hose after a
full hour's dalliance.
Is he a creature of commiseration,
think ye, \-e mournful-tidings bearers?
If his are days of labor, are not his
| nights nights of rest? He sleeps
home, of course. Where? Oh. any-
where that there may be a breath of
air. From the roof to the cellar he
may "bunk," and no one say to him
nay. If he is "doing a foolish thing,"
it is his affair. That cold that he
"might catch" will be his cold; there-
fore. pillows in glad hand, robed
breezily, he wends his peaceful way
en route for comfort and the land o'
Nod.
Finally he Is snoring, and—per-
chance dreams of Mary, or of Martha,
or of that gold-laden ship that is soon
coming in. or some other dream of the
happy grass-widower.
