CHOCOLATES CONFECTIONS | “The Humorousness of Things” What we call a sense of humor is a curious affair; Some say it's rather common; some con- sider it quite rare. It's funny when somebody seats himself ‘upon a pin, Provided it’s somebody you're not inter- ested in. It’s funny when the gold brick man de- ludes a. trusting soul And leaves bis crops in pawn and puts his family in a hole. It’s funny when small children cat green fruit and cakes and pie And suffer pain—though I could never see exactly why. It’s laughable to see .a man in most things brave and strong Break down and seem quite helpless {when affection’s hopes go wrong . It’s ‘funny when some man in whom the public placed its trust Gets out and makes a silly splurge with other people's dust. It’s funny when you stand for hours as on the cars you ride; It’s funny when big autos have explo- sions or collide. When you note the timely topic and the gay satiric fling, There's no doubt a sense of humor is a very curious thing. —Washington Star. The Fable of the Two Brothers William and John were two brothers who differed very widely in Tempera- ment (see Dictionary). William was always kind and good, and had been ever since he was born. John was bold and bad, and would be until he died. When William reached Man's Estate (which was the only Estate he ever did reach) he fell in love with a Beautiful Maiden and married her. John also fell in love and married, which was the only time in his life that he followed his brother's example. As time went on, William rose in the Business World until he became a Book- keeper for a Wholesale Grocery Firm at a salary of Twelve Dollars a week. John found it necessary to struggle along on a modest stipend of Six Thou- sand a year, for he was only a Broker. William, however, couldn't be any Broker. William proved a model hus- band, and permitted his Better Half to absorb eleven-twelfths of his earnings, whereas John made his wife keep house on $4.75 a week, and beat her regularly every Tuesday After a while, the World was surprised to hear that Wil- 75,000,000 WASHBURNE'S PAT.

John's wife stili adores him, and Rumor says that she has requested Her Husband to beat her hereafter on Fridays, as well as om Tuesdays. For such is the way of Woman!-— Lippincott’s. Adornment Do women dress for men or for one another? is among the permanent and never decided questions. The ordinary observer is puzzled by the idea that men prefer simplicity, and yet women’s dress and headgear often make for the ornate. As long ago as the days of The Tatler, Stecle observed : “Tt may indeed tempt a man to steal a woman, but never to love her. If ladies will take my word for it (and as they dress to please men, they ought to consult our fancy rather than their own in this particular), I can assure them there is nothing touches our imagination so much as a_ beautiful woman ina plain dress. . .
