The Other Side By K. N. ATTIE adored her husband and enjoyed all kinds of house work, especially cooking and preserving, but she loved a well-planned murder and read detective stories all her spare time. Jessie was a spinster. She had a parrot and a cat, and she liked tea, yet she read every love story that came on the market. Evalyn was an expert accountant. She always knew whether the income of her corporation covered the ex- penses or not, she could take a trial balance in just a few minutes, she knew what was due the corporation, and she could add a long line of fig- ures without a mistake, but she never read anything in the evening paper except the continued story telling of a bride’s married life and problems. Lottie was pretty, she was an authority on fashions, and she knew all about cosmetics and hair dressing. She read stories about young busi- ness men and their struggles.

David, who was a reformer, read the Wild Women’s Magazine in his spare time. Oh, well, he wanted to know what wickedness they were up to, and he knew the women started it all. He never told how he knew either. ago? Triceratops Prorsus By Ivy KELLERMAN REED. "PRICERATOPS, who used to live In Mesozoic time, Was twenty-five feet long at least, When wholly in his prime. Of brains within his eight-foot skull Proportionately less Had he than other vertebrates Who ever lived, I guess. He wore a horn above his nose, You'd think that one would do: Two more arose above his eyes, And they were bigger, too.

Mose thought a moment, then asked for a pencil and paper. He proceeded to make a number of illeg- ible scrawls, puckering his brow and sighing deeply. “Wal, suh,” he said, “hit comes out dis-a-way.

I want him to stay.” Evasive Vases Alice—I’m sure the DeWitts have never kept servants. Virginia—Why? Alice—Mrs. DeWitt showed me some vases which she said were more than a hundred years old.
