CARRYING riOKAGES
T I' IS ono of the wholesomo signs
i or tho nge," saj'B a member of tho
Department of Agriculture, "that pec-
pl hen brenKing nwny from tho Idea
thM n perfect lady or gentleman nover
teaMon n pnekago."
It iu really hard to remomber thut
BU-ili tn opinion ever was held, and
k'ot, may bo sure If you know nnyono
Hvto "Stilt clings to the notion that It
Ib ttuieuih his dignity to carry n
Jbuy.Slo of nny sort that that person Is
qulto behind the times nnd has not
kejjt pace with tho times.
1'ho only time when It Is bad form
to Rrry pnekugea or bundles Is when
by doing so you might causo others
antoynnco or Inconvenience. A wom
an Should, bear In mind that If sho 1b
going to bo accompanied by u man,
didn't Intend to cook any more nnd
that If he wanted food he must get It
nnd cook It, too.
Mr. Fox dropped his pipe and It fell
to tho floor with n smash as he stared
open-mouthed nt his wife; his cars,
too, stuck up straight; he could hard
ly, believe he heard rightly whnt she
snld.
Mrs. Fox walked out of the house
while her husband growled nnd fussed,
but she did not return nnd Mr. Fox
had to go hungry to bed thnt night,
for she nto her supper before she came
home.
For three, days this went on, nnd
on tho fourth Mr. Fox grew very
meek nnd brought home n nice pair
of chickens. "My dear," ho said, "It
would bo n pity to spoil those birds
cooking them ns I should, and there
Is no ono lri tho world thnt can fry
a chicken ns you can."
Mrs Fox agreed to do this, hut she
mndo her husband wnlt on her, and
!
when tho dinner wns rendy he put It
on tho tnblo and helped. clear It nway
nnd wnshed the dishes.
It was not long before Mr. Fox wns
bringing home all the food and help
ing his wlfo ns a good husbnnd
should, nnd, best of nil, he praised nt
every meal her wonderful cooking.
"Whnt did I toll you?" said Granny
Fox when she heard what had hap
pened. "Remember what I said, 'hun
ger's the best sauce' for any meal, and
the royal road to a husband's heart
Is tmvcled fastest by serving him n
good menl ; but don't let him lose sight
of tho fact that you nro u wife as well
as a good cook." '
