AUCTION HIM OFF TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER A SIGN THAT WOMEN ARE BEGINNING TO TAKE A PINCH OF HUMOR WITH THEIR TRAGEDIES TH Pr HERE HEREre ERE are re various ways of dealing with the philandering husband who has a roving eye and a wandering foot SO lU sites hes 8 and are strong and alt ait patient i g J I patiently ly for their ther prodigal husbands to neary eary of ot affairs with other women and at lit to return home homo to t V partake ot of o the veal seal eal ce that they have kept I Vit warm arm on the back of oC the stove for them during all the years of oC their stepping side d Othel women haul their rounder husbands Into I 1 the tM divol ce COUI coult t and cash In la their blighted dreams of wedded bliss for such allmon alimon alimony as us they can get But Dut It has been reserved for an enterprising western I v woman oman to find an absolutely novel way of ot solving the t o or of the human triangle triangle i It AJ Discovering that she the possessed a husband I t who loved not wisely but too many she the met I It JC the situation with neither prayers prayer prayers nor tears tearS I t Sj i ithe or or a subpoena but has applied for a permit to hold an auction at which she the proposes propose to DIX BIt sell her husband to the highest bidder She I says that since her husband hu band has haa ha proved so at- at atI attractive at attractive I to other women she thinkS there should be quite a bitof bit bitof I of spirited bidding for tor him and she hopes hope to realize a tidy little I Isum sum from his sale which will be handy bandy In helping her and the tho I children through the summer And anyway whatever she the gets I will be more than he is worth to her IT an idea but I am nm wondering how she sill III press her second hand husband so as to make him seem desirable to women husband She cannot recommend him as a good domestic housebroken hue hus band because he lie was nas one who al ala a s heard the call ot of the tho wild COlen and refused to stay lied tied She cannot call attention to him as a a desirable a-desirable desirable voke oko mate male because lie he balked at pulling halt of or the load and was al alays ays slipping the and jumping the bars She cannot e toll him as a parlor ornament ornament because he was nas as only onlia a loan exhibit In his own onn 0 n home and it you wanted anted to see hIm at his best vou ou had to 10 view Ie him in some othet othel womans woman's dra drawing room where there thero was stas a better belter light on him than there was nas as at his 0 own n fireside She couldn t I guarantee him as a reliable meal ticket because he spent his money on bu Ing champagne for tor chorus girls Instead of milk for tor the bab babi babl She might praise his hi good looks his hi dancing the fervor and of his kissing the romantic line lone of love talk that he carries But alas these are only pre matrImonial charms and virtues After marriage a handsone handsoMe husband is aha aha- a ha- ha lia liability rather than an asset Matrimony Is a Jog trot not Jazz The only reliable domestic kisses are aro those that have the well well known known ham harn and egg flavor and It Is more important for a hus hus- husband hus- hus husband husband band to know how to make money than It is Ia for him to know how to make maks loveN love NOT N OT much in the character that that the wife could give the husband willingto she wl bes to auction off oft that would make any other oman v oman nilling to 10 pay 2 75 in real money meney for him to say nothing of ot in 10 investing eating her all allin alln allin in n him is there Looks as if it there would be very Cry few takers for or such an undesirable piece of ot household e Dut not so Be lIe not Dot discouraged Lly the tile women omen will still fight over him and iun lun him up to some figuie as thes do the junk at other auction sales For no woman ever learns anything from another womans woman's experience in matrimony and every woman believes herself to tobe tobe tobe be the great original man tamer and a miracle worker to bootT boot T HUE 1111 mere fact tact that a II man has been unfaithful to one wife does not suggest to her that he Is of the unstable e temperament that tan Cnn be to nothing That lie he ba basely ly abandoned the little children that he Into the does not warn am lie he Is Js lacking in all of honor and

marry him E Esen ife en Ife murderers find women willing to risk rik their necks with them But the thing that Is really Interesting about the western womans woman's plan to auction off orf her husband Is le that it show shows that women are arc beginning to Oct act a grimly humorous slant on what has heretofore been an unrelieved tragedy Tnt HUE T could alwa have told a II wife that the husband who needed to be wept ovel oyei wasn't north a tear that It was sheer a naste aste le of or mollon to break hel hei heart 0 oter Or a II man who ho was as as so pool pooi and noak eak n a that hat he lie

on grieving over worthies bus hus hut bands bands weeping agonizing for the return of husbands Iwho tho ho were kissing painted panted lips lops and spending the money that was needed at home on the gold diggers So it is encouraging to hear that they are beginning to take a saner view of the sub sub- subJect subJect sub subject BUT B OUT UT how Interesting things will still be It Ie there are
