Show H 1 1 vjk, HI HE old, old say- H 1 r II InS "S n tan H il m. J III finds work for H 1 r idle hands to M 1 HI do," seems to H I farijjfrjirwiir ' -J I be verified M these days for 1 even In the stress of war work and H war duties there are certain fair H ones of the feminine persuasion who K- find time to fuss about with some- fl one else's husband or some young H girl's beau. There surely is an at- H traction for men of a certain class H in young wives who have time to hold H their hands, complain about the heat, H sip ice tea(?) (that has been kept in H ' the cellar since August iirst), bundle H their children off to the care of a H nurse maid and spend their time in B outrageous flirtations. H There are three patient husbands H who have endured more than their H share of wifey's summer follies since H last May and all have about decided H that if Cutie, Flirt, and Flip, don't H cut out the men folk they can seek H solace in the courts. Of course the H husbands can go to war to get away H from the domestic melee, or as the H cave man did centuries ago can go H out at night with a big stick looking H for the other fellow. However, all H the blame can't be placed on the H men, for if the lazy little trinity had H not been surfeited with nil good H things that money can buy and that H they have only known since matri- H mony, the men at fault would never H have been heard of. H Oh! it's great to acquire nerves H and social enui, but did you ever stop H to think that the women who have H i so recently acquired them and who H are as lethargic as a spoiled prlm- H ma donna, before their marriage H were, to all appearances, hale and H hearty and did not have enough loose B change to play for stakes or buy H boots at $15 per. Nay, nay, Pauline, H it's an age when nerves are acquired H with a bank roll. H IT seems in some quarters that even sentiment is being commercialized M these days. They are telling the M story about the pretty young divorcee, m famed more for her decorative H charms than her gray matter. She H"' was at tea a few weeks ago with a j mutual friend who had married about Hi, the same time as the pretty blonde ff and now. 1b the proud possessor of a Wt beautiful home, an adorable baby and . i other enviable assets. The visitor lis- Kt tened intently to the praises heaped i f upon her girlhood friend and it was . evident that she was comparing notes in her own case. Ah the matron f paused lor reath, petite Mrs, Blank m stifled a yawn and remarked: "Well, B I I don't know that she has done much Hf better than I, everything considered, for with my honeymoon in Florida, my automobile, my jewelry and my alimony, I've cleaned up rather a neat little sum on the deal."
