THE JUDGE HAD A BIRTHDAY BLOWOUT
CHlNbU bsu-i

Can you aolvs this problem for me and
tell me how to cure a husband who has
an apparently Incurable case of the
wandering; foot? ' 1 have been married for
ten years, during
which tlmo
.my
had
at-
husband has
innumberabte
Unities,' and
has
made my life a bur
den by continually
telling me of hia
'hits' he makes with
other women.
"I've tried I n
every way to b
a food wlfo, and
he says . there
coul ln t be a better
one, but he Is eter
nally making me
see how much he
admires women
who are entirely
my opposite In
looks and character.
When we go on the
street together, no
matter how much Interested he Is In any
subject undor dlseurslon. It fades from his
mind f a good-looking woman posses
him, Alt he thinks of Is women, women,
women, and ho imagines himself to be
so fascinating that no member of the
fair sex could resist hm, although, as
a matter of fact,. h U a- faded, blond,
with many wrinkles and flirty blue
yes and I suppose I am the only woman
In the world who is silly enough to b
In love with him.
'However, even a female orm will
turn at last, and-1 am sick and tired
hearing other women praised while I work
myself to death to make him a comfort
able and pleasant home. Is there no
way I can break him of this conceit? I've
tried to maJce him seo that he makea a
fool of himself, boasting of him con
questsIf he makes any and, at anj
rate, that It would be kinder not tu
flaunt them In my face, but none of mj
arguments has anjj effect upon him. Do
please tell me of some way to get this
Idiocy out of his head."
Alaa, sister, you do not mourn alone.
There are hundreds of thousands of other
women who face the stme problem that
you do, for man Is an Imperfectly
oomestlcated animal, an It Is easier to
teach a Jackrabblt to come and eat out
of your hand than It Is to nail a husband
to his own fireside.
In spite of all the restraining Influences
of thousands of years of civilisation and
religion, man la still pol gamous at heart,
and no woman may ever realise a wife's
desire to be all-in-all to her husband.
He will always have an eye out for other
"woman" that Is exactly her antithesis.
This "doesn't" mean that he doesn't
prefer bla wife to all ether women and
that he Is not In love with her.
No Solomon In petticoats with suffi
cient wisdom to cope with this situation
has ever arisen and so we are confronted
on every side with the traglo spectacle of
side
stepping husbands, and wive who
are
breaking their hearts over their
John's defections.

freed went oarer to the piano and aang
this song:
Oh. my darling hart's desire,
I am setting by the fire,
I am thinking moat of you, my bophle.
Tou r the dearest Utile thing.
Let me take that diamond ring.
And I'll keep It Always, sweetheart, for

To a woman In such a position there
are three courses of oonduct open. One
is to pack up her doll rags and hike out
to the divorce court. She can say that
she doesri't propose to be neglected and
Insulted, and have some other woman
preferred before her, and that if John
isn't just as true to her as she Is to him
she'll quit. . . .
A great many women take this view
of the case, but divorce Isn't all peaches
and cream. Quite the contrary. It's apt
to leave a very bitter taste In one's
mouth. There are objections to It, one of
which 1b that a woman may still love
a man in spit of his shortcomings. An
other, that a man may be a very poor
husband and a very good provider, and
still another, that there may be children
who are to be considered before a wife's
hurt pride.
The aeoond method of dealing with the
situation Is for the wife to fight the devil
with fire. If a man is vain enough to
imagine every woman he meets Is lp love
with him, his conoel gives his wife
tool with which she man work him to a
finish. Let her pile on the flattery with
a shovel, so that the compliments that
any other woman would pay him would
seem poor and Inadequate.
Such a case calls tor.no half measure,
and t Is up to the wife a assure her
husband that he Is a concatenation of
very charm and beauty-, and fascinating
on earth. No other woman will take the
trouble to pile the gush on that thick,
and so lrl time he will come to believe
that his wife Is the only woman who has
the Intelligence to really appreciate him.
The third and beat solution to the dif
ficulty is patience. If the wife only has
the courage to wait, the wandering hqs
bahd will come back to her at last, and
the more the woman can laugh Instead of
weep over his little filterings away
from the family hearutone, the quicker
will be his return.
In tithe a man tires of pretty faces. He
finds that his fancy has dulled, his blool
runs colder, that he's gotten too old and
stiff and rheumatic to kneel even at the
feet cf beauty, and then he comes home to
mother to the woman who knows him for
what he Is, and loves him In spite of
what he la and who doesn't expect too
much of him, nor demand too many at
tentionA Nor will the waiting seem so Tiard If the
wife can only realise that under her
husband's Idle fanoles is the real, solid
supei structure of his love for her, and
that while he may admlie a hundred other
women she is the one who Is necessary
to him and to whom he turns In times of
trouble.
But as for curing a man who Is A wo
man chaser and who thinks himself a
fascinator, there fs no known remedy.
The only advice that can be given Is to
else the man up, and if he Is worth watt
ing for wait for him, with peace and
quiet And good humor. Otherwise pack
your trunk for Reno.
And only the wife can decide the point.
I KIRK.
yet that cud keep from being a trophy
for oaver a year.
Walt a mlnnit, sed Mister Shuks. that
la not the end of the song. The girl looks
Lack at him at sings In the seoond verse
like this:
Yes, my darling hart's desire,
W hen the Hudson Is on fire
es the Itegions of the Lost are frozen
tight,
You can have that diamond ring,
You fat. old grasping thing.
Uoodnlte, dear I.uv, goodnlte!
That Is the kind of a song that I like,
Sed Ma; thare Is so much sentiment about
it. I can jest see that dear girl putting
her diamond ring In the safety deposit
vault & giving the key to her big brother,
ted Ma. After all. Ma sed, it is senti
ment that maiks the wurld go around.
Slr.g us another song, Mister tchulis. A
then Mister Bhults sang:
The coin I've spent on thee, deer hurt,
Has surely got me up a tree.
I'll have to go learn the art
pf Bank-rupt-cy, of Bank-rupt-cy.
Ma dldent like that song so well, ft wen
Mister Schulu went hoam she dldnt shalk
hands with him.

This great truth concerning the solid
arity of the race marks a mental epoch
In the- onward and the Upward march. It
wa hinted At pretty strongly in 1776,
And carried Into
business as an ex
periment about 1876.
It Is no lunger an
experiment. T h
spirit . of the times
the lletfest, to
ttirrora a word
from our German
friends Is a con
stantly progressing
entity.
The preson spirit
of the times Is a
kind of unequalled
In history. We hAV
thousands upon
thousands of men
and women who.
Are thinking great
and noblo thought
and doing great
and splendid work.
Very many of our big business men
regard themselves AS public servants.
Our aeltgelst la sensitive, restlnas, alert.
imprcsslonAbls, progressive, and la mak
ing for righteousness. ' The man who can
Imagine a better religion than now exists
Is allowed to throw hi vision on the
screen, and he who can formulate a bet
ter government thAn w now have Is not
hanged for hi pain, but Is allowed to
express his dreams.
I'ubllo opinion rule. No law that Is
contrary to the aeltgelst can b enforced.
Judges construe, translate and Interpret
the laws to suit the spirit of the time.
Every man who speaks out loud and
clear 1 tinting the aeltgelst. Every man
who expresses what he honestly thinks
Is . true Is changing the spirit of the
time. Thinker help other people think,
for they formulate what others r
thinking. No peron write or thinks
alone thought Is In th Air, but Its ex
pression Is necessary to create A tangible
spirit of th time The value of the
thinker who write, or a writer who
thinks: or a business man who acts. Is
that he supplies Argument for th people,
And confirm All who at on his wire In
their opinions, often before unuttered.
The Brotherhood of Man Is an Idea now
fully appreciated In business. Commerce

If It were not for th love babies bring

she wa ready with a remedy. The first
baby la a more sorious rival than any
man knew In his courtship days,
After It comes. Its father feels very
much a An old doll look when It owner

she doesn't notlo that he has neglected

Should he want to kids her, he must wait
till she rid her mouth of pin.

that lullaby songs are not sung according

Titer ar many reasons why it Is a
good thing to have a baby In the house;
its presence broadens one's sympathies,
increases one's capacity for love, and
takes the attention of the mosquitoes
from th grown folks,
Tli men like to say a woman can't

It mother to see If sh heard it.
Even a colicky baby I mora desirabl
to have next door than a graphophone,
for th reason that If It parents keep It
It may grow to be a useful eitlaeu, but A
graphophon will never be anything but
A graphophone.
Would you be a good a th baby It
a lot of gtanta got around you with th
ide that to amuse you they roust pinch
your cheeks and pinch, you In th ribs,
and ever so often your mother took yuu
to a place downtown wher a man looked
at you through soma sort of a machlna
after first scaring you to death by ring
ing a bell, or having an Imitation bird
sing, that lie might make a picture of
you, tliat ha no mori expreeslon than a
lump of dough? . i
If th baby is treated light, th floors,,
alH-ays look as if they had' been swept
with a hasty glance, and If th baby Its
the first of a number. It I grown up at
10, And If It I the lart It I sUU con
sidered a baby at U.
It it gets A y balloon. Its possession
means two weeps: A weep to get.lt, and
A weop a few minutes later when It blown
up. And All through life It joys ar At
tended this way.
When the baby cries, its mother doesn't
scold. She looks It over for offending
pins and waist bands that pinch, and this
excuse for tears and temper attends no
one over the age of 5. There I aiwwya
sume one to pull th baby back from the
fire to keep It from burning Itself. There
Is always some one tempting It to play
with fir when It grows. A man never
know how small hi houss is until buby
screams, nor how large until baby is dead.
Ask a baby what it name Is, and It
mother will wipe its nose and say, "Tell
the gentleman." Every tlmo someone
looks at it Its mother is reminded that It
is time to wring Its nose. Therefor don't
look at th baby.
Th father come horn In great ex
citement to tell hi wlf hi rich uncle
ha fulled. "I that so?" aha will eay.
"Do you know, I think th baby 1 look

change In the map of the world, and she
replies, "The baby hasn't cried once to
day," and his delight In an election Is :
