It't made of red silk, with embroiderd tips. Don't You Owe Him Something? An Editorial for Women by Cjrnthia Grey. What does your husband owe you? Ah a question to which every wife has a long and detailed answer always ready.

But do you owe your husband? That's quite another notion, isn't it? And yet it la just as important, and altogether too much ignored by a certain class of young and vain and pretty ones, who in their shallow little brains imagine they can afford to ignore it. Of course there are many thousands of wives who always give more than they owe. But they are door mats, not helpmates. course there are other thousands who enter intelligently into the new partnership and do their part of the work with cheerfulness and Bkill. And they are the happy ones.

But don't you know many others who seem to say with every flirt of their too expensive gowns, "Well, he's got lucky he did. Now he can just turn in and get me everything I want, and ba glad of the chance." And they are the failures. Women like that seem to think that the gift of their own selfish persons is so great a boon that any man ought to thankfully go into perpetual slavery after receiving it. Of course she has given him a great she lives up to her promise. But aren't women like that forever playing "Injun giver" and taking the gift away? True, most men do enjoy the pleasures of the chase.

But they also like to be sure of the game sometimes. They like to get it, and they like to have it to show what they can do. Where is the hunter who wants his antlers, his wolf heads, his fox pelts, off somewhere at winter resorts in winter summer resorts in summer, at sanitariums any old time of the year? He wants them where they he is. And there in his home he wants, too, that other and that much more precious ornament wife. "Oh, I've trained my husband so he can get along without me." Don't you hear it pretty often? And is there any sentence more pftiful for the thoughtful person to hear? For it is the first symptom of that time that is surely coming when each not only'can, but will, get along without the other one forever.

A little vacation Is always good. A selfishly long, expensive stay often repeated is the death blow at the happiness of the home. How would you like it if your husband didn't stick to his Job? Jnst think about that awhile, and then do a little bit of sticking tight to yours! HI AYTIMF HARRY'S ROBBER Harry was happy. He had been given permission to go to the river. "You must start home at 4 o'clock," said his mother.

"Are you sure you will know when It is time?" "Will he know?" laughed brother Dick; "why, lie looks at that new watch every 10 minutes." Harry had looked at the time very often alnce Christmas; but, with an interesting game of hockey going on, he forgot that he even owned a watch. At last he noticed that it was quite dark. It was a long walk home, and all the boys lived on the other side of the river. He muat go home alone, and he' wag terribly afraid of the dark. He decided to go 'across lots because it was shorter, and the darkness was coming on I fast.

The trees, houses and fences were all fading into nothing but blackness. Suddenly he heard coming; then he saw a dim form rise above a fence. It Jumped down and came toward him. Who could it robber? Yes, in his fright Harry was sure it was a robber. "Hey, there!" he called.

Harry's heart stood still. Probably in another second he would say, "Money or your life." Then what was to be done? He hadn't any money. His watch, his precious Christmas watch that really told time, would have to be given up. The robber was coming' nearer. All Harry could think of was to run, run, run.

He started pellmell, and ran right into the "'Here, take 4t," he cried, as he thrust the watch into a hand and dashed madly on. I think no little boy ever ran so fast as he did for a few minutes. Then he saw the light shining from the kitchen window, and was soon stumbling in at the door. Before he could get his breath to tell the dreadful tale, brother Dick came In, holding out something in his hand and laughing heartily. Maybe you think Harry wasn't surprised when he saw that it was his own watch in Dick's hand.

"Wh-where did you get it?" he gasped. "You gave it to me," laughed Dick. Then they all questioned Harry till ha told the whole etory. Mother wouldn't let them tease him, but told him how ahe hoped it would help him to remember to obey his mother hereafter, to brother Dick i wouldn't have to go out to look 1 him up. Cynthia.

A yawn is nature's demand for rest. Some upeople think they yawn only because they are sleepy, but that is not so. They may sleepy also, but that Is not the real cause of the yawning.

HOW AN UMBRELLA SHOULd) BE IWMJ.KI* The process of rolling an urnbrcHa up neatly is simple. The majority of people hold It by the handle and keep twisting the stick.

Instead of this, they should take hold of the umbrella just above the ribs of the cover. These points naturally lie evenly -with the stick. They should be kept hold of and pressed tightly against the stick and then the cover should be, rolled up. Holding the ribs thus prevents them from getting twisted out or ipilace, or bending out of shape, and the silk Is bound to follow evenly and smooth and tight. If an umbrella is rolled in this fashion until it is old enough to look rusty It will look as If newly i that a grade of 8 feet in 100 was, hardly noticeable to anyone carrying heavy handbags.

countless American workingmen In countless American cities. He started to solve the problem and he was helped by letters from his frlenda In the big Dutch settlemeut at Pella. He decided to give up everything In Holland; to sell everything he owned, give up his trade and become a farmer in America. He figured the thing out Byatematlcally. He didn't know anything about farming, and knowledge was neceemiry so two years ago he sent his oldest son, Jan Johannes, to Pella.

A year ago, the next boy, Uys Dertus, aged nineteen, joined his brother, and the two went to work as farm bauds. In the meantime the father saved his money and by the time the two boys knew farming he had means to bring the remaining 12 to America. The boys had chosen the farm. They rented the 40 acres in January for $4 an acre. The father sold his effects and started for America, timing his arrival so that they would get liere just at planting time.

The Dam family got here to rind their 40 acres plowed and ready for the seed. They arrived it Pella one day, moved to the farm the next and the following morning they were busy planting.
