Maidens, bewarel If you do not
want to miss the next foot ball game,
take this little warning from me, and
organize, congenial parties all your
own, for unless you are married to a
man or have a very, very faithful one
on the string, you may be left in the
lurch. All the Lotharios, the Bean
Brummels, the Sir Gatahads, the Sir
Walter Raleighs, Lord Chesterfields,
or whatever other name is usjd to
designate the handsome, pleasant,
courtly and thoughtful male creatures,
may Allah bless them and may their
shadows never grow less, are getting
tired of taking girls to foot ball
games. That's true. One of Omaha's
most promising and prominent law
yers told me so.
"This year," quoth he, "I'm going
to stag it with half a dozen other fel
lows. . Last year 1 took a girl down
to the game," ah, yes, clever reader,
he is an alumnus of our great state
university, "but it's too much bother."
"Bother T exclaimed I. "Why, I
should think that a girl would be less
bother, a more intelligent companion
at a foot ball game than when wit
nessing any other kind of sport. Not
that 1 wish to boast, but now I "
"Oh. well," he replied, "it's not that
they are so much trouble during the
game, but afterward, you know, you
can't do anything that you want to
because you have to be looking after
a girl. Of course, girls are indispen
sable, but, well I'm going to stag it."

Sand waves caused by sn ebb tide from Magazine of American Museum of Natural History.
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
Among II the records printed on the
leaves of rocks that form the book of
the earth, there is none so legible to
the beginner in the geological primer
as the wave-marks and foot-marks im
pressed upon ancient sea beaches hun
dreds of thousands and even millions
of years ago. -, .
Covered with sand by the next in
coming wave, these marks remained
in the layers of stone to which the
pressed and buried beaches were aft
erward transformed, and thus became

and a. scribe. .
But we are apt to overlook the fact
that these records are being made to
day as rapidly and industriously as
they were in the remote past, so mat
if the human race should perish and,
after long ages, be succeeded by other
intelligent and curious-minded crea
tures, dwelling upon a later "geologi
cal horizon" the sea strands would
again furnish important documents
for a new history of the earth.
To be sure, we have not today any
of the extraordinary animals, with
bodies of reptiles and the feet of birds,
that left their tracks and betrayed
some of the secrets of their domestic
life on the wet beaches that aeons
ago" were changed to the sandstones
of the Connecticut .valley; neverthe
less, the story now being written
would be of fascinating interest, and
if its characters included the foot
marks and other signs left by twenti

Dear Mlaa Fairfax: I have been going

DONALD B.
Flirting la never la good taate whether
you refer to coquetting with numerous men
she does know or mean that this girl talks
to chance acquaintances. But loyalty to
the men aha la engeged to Is at ataka as
well as propriety and good teste In general.
It la neither honorable nor decent for your
fiancee to dirt.
Once upon a time there Was a Beau
teous Young Maiden and a Stalwart
Young Man who fell in Love with
each other and got Married. For the
first year of Married Life they were
All-in-AU to each other, and were very
Happy.,
They played Golf together and
went to see the Good Plays together
and Danced together at. the Cabar
ets, and spent long, happy evenings
together reading and talking under
their own Drop Light, and when
they found out that a Little Stran
ger was coming to them they were
all the more Blissful because they
thought that a Baby would be just
another Link Binding them To
gether. , ,
But to nis amazement the Hue
band discovered that the Baby was
not a Bond of Union, but a Wedge
Driving him and his Wife apart.
That was discovery No. 1. Discov
ery No. 2 waa that His Nose was
out of Joint, and that he had a
Deadly Rival in Mr. Baby.
Discoverv No. 3 was that the Baby
took up all of his Wife's time and
attention so that she had no Interest
in anything else. And Discovery
No. 4 was that after the First Baby
arrived a Husband ceases to be Any
thing in the Household except a Cash
Register, and he Exists only to pro
vide Indulgences for the Children.
The Husband being a Mere Man,
and not a Young Mother, could not
understand what - had wrought so
great a change in his Wife, and he
put many -Questions to her trying to
solve the Riddle.
"Why do you not Curl your Hair
and put on.your fretty Ijowiis witn
Doodabs on them any more?" he in-ouired.
"Because the Baby pulls at the
Lace and Chiffon, and tears it," she
replied, "therefore I wear this ugly
old dressing gown that he cannot
hurt." '
"I hear that Caruso is in great
voice," said the Husband, "let us go
and heir him sinar. A
I would Much freter hearing tne
Baby coo. It is so much more
Thrilling,'1 replied the Young Mother.
"Let us go and see a Jolly Play,:
said the Husband.
"Oh no," said the Young Mother,
with a shudder, "Baby ; might Cry
while we are gone.
"Let us SDend the Evening in Con
versation as we used to do, said the
Husband.
"I am sorrv. but I've got to be
with the Baby," said the Young
Mother, as she flew back to the Nur
sery.
It waa not very Lively Alone in
the Living Room, and so the H us
band wandered forth to eniov him
self with Men and Women who did
not have to sit in a room with the
Lights turned low because of Baby's
F.yes, who did not have to speak in
Whispers for Fear of Waking Baby,
and whose whole Talk was not Des
iccated Baby Food. These proved a
Pleasant Change, and, as Wife con
tinued to remain in the Nursery, he
formed the Habit of Going Out
every night without her.
For a time the Wife was so ab
sorbed in the Baby she did not even
Miss him, but finally a Kind Friend
woke her up to the Fact that she
would Lose her Husband if she did
not get back on the Job of being a
Wife again.
"What shall I" dor" wailed the
Wife. "Shall I neglect my Baby to
ketp up with my Husband?"
"You can hire a Nurse to take care
of your Baby," said the Friend, "but
the Price of Getting Another Woman
to Look After - your Husband and
to keep him Amused is Divorce."
"I see," said the Wife, and there
upon she rose and bought her some
Good Clothes and began going about
with her Husband once more.
"I am Glad," said the Husband,
"that Baby is old enough for you
to leave him." ,
, "A Husband never gets old enough
to be trusted out by himself," said
the Woman with a Smile. ,
Moral: This fable teaches that
while the Devoted Mother is spend
ing her evenings holding the baby's
hand some other woman is gener
ally holding her Husband's Hand.
awaken controversies as full . of
guesses and theories as any that have
raged among our geologists. -
These considerations may add in
terest to the photogrphs made by
Mary Cynthia Dickerson on the
Massachusetts coast last September,
one of which, representing some re
markable wave-prints, we borrow
froni the American Museum Journal.
Winding across the ridges formed by
the waves sweeping over the sandy
beach .are to be seen the furrowed
tracks of periwinkles, and the very
marks pictured in this photograph
may have been filled up and covered
by the succeeding waves, and thus
preserved like the letters and lines on
a printed page.
How much more vivid the evidence
read by the geologist from the rocks
becomes when we thus behold - the
actual printing of the record going on
under our own eyesl Putting side by
side thepicture of a wave-marked
and trail-marked. Massachusetts beach
of the year 1916 and that of a similar
tell-tale beach which bordered a now
vanished sea a million years ago, is
like comparing the hieroglyphics : of
ancient Egypt, or the printed cylin
ders of Babylon, with a modern news
paper., .,.... i .-. . -
We humans have greatly changed
and improved our means and methods
of printing history, but nature works
stilt along the old lines, and it has
never changed its printer, or the
sheets on which it stamps its story
with the wavering fingers that play
from his roaring billows.
The Secret
By JANE M'LKAN. V
The poet Bits in his attic room
And writes in verse of tbe love of man,
But love is spun on a fairy loom
Threaded with dreams since the world began.
He who writes of the tears that start
Must dip his pen in his own warm heart.
The artist sits at bis canvas wide,
And mixes his colors of blue and gold;
But bis thoughts are all ot the world outside, '
And his dreams are narrow and white and cold.
He who would paint with a seeing eye
' Must search his soul for the reason why.
