Show WHEN YOU WIFE GOES ON HER VACATION. Don't look too resigned on the day of your wife's departure women sometimes change their minds. Don't wear your gladdest rags the day after. Be moderate. A graduate change in the style of your attire is less noticeable. Don't at any time affect too jaunty a manner man-ner or too noisy raiment. You are undoubtedly young and lovely, but there might be the suspi-1 suspi-1 cion of the would-be "devil-of-a-fellow" about you, I which the knowing instantly ticket as belonging I to the man left behind. I Beware of the fascinations of the peek-a-boo waist the man hanging on the strap may belong to her.? I Don't start in with ten-dqllar dinners the first ! week. The summer is long. Don't mix your drinks just because it's sum- I mer. It's a strong stomach that knows no turning. I Don't assume a virtuous air with your green I complexion, and say that you are sticking too I close to your desk and expect people to believe I you. I Don't forget to go to bed. You wih look better I the next day at the office. I Don't invite too many bibulous friends to the house. They don't improve the appearance of thlrfgs. Don't play poker on the best mahogany table. Chips scraps. Don't fall to change your address if your next-door next-door neighbors are at homo. You will save yourself your-self future trouble if you do. Don't forget to visit the family the first Sunday Sun-day or two. You will enjoy your week In town better, and your wife's vacation will probably be extended. Don't forget the box of candy, new magazines, and, If possible, a trifling present when you do visit your family. Your popularity will surprise you. Don't send a telegram saying that important business detains you in town. Your infant daughter daugh-ter wouldn't believe that gag nowadays. Don't acquire too many roof-garden songs. Your ofllce-boy couldn't teach them all to you. Better wait till afternoon before writing your daily epistle to your family your hand will be steadier. A little shaking is an obvious thing. Don't expect much sympathy from your family when you dilate upon the horrors of being left in town all through the hot summer. They know a thing or two, sometimes.
