We all mtike troulilo and llien wonder why we have it.
As often as one gets something for nothing one gets noth
ing for something.
Pure recklessness is the only reason that presents itself
why some persons marry. .
It doesn't cost so very much to start in business now. Ten
dollars will buy a fairly good sucker list. . ,
STILL IMPORTANT ,
It would seem that the age-old route to a man's heart
hasn't changed niych since the day when Eve stirred up the
original batch of applesauce. In spite of the array of titles
in modern periodicals which suggest 57 varieties of occupa
tions in which women may demonstrate their ability, and
seventy times seven cosmetic intrigues with which to endear
themselves to the sons of, Adam, the space devoted to food
continues to increase.
A glance through any woman's magazine will reveal that
as much time is being spent in finding a new way to serve
the bacon that the modern Cains and Abels bring home as
is granted any other field of feminine activity. Interest in
house furnishings is centering more and. more in the kitchen,
also. If women have a favorite recipe for success it probably
contains the ingredients for ginger-bread or blackberry tarts.
NOTHING IS "FREE"
. A card on a free towel case where the public is permitted
gratuitously to wash its hands reads, "Why us two towels
when one wipes dry ?"
That is a question worth considering with respect to all
"free" things. The unthinking say, "Use all you want of
that, it is free." Hut only the selfish and unthinking will so
reason.
There are few things in this world that are free in the
sense of being without cost. Somulxidy pays for the towels;
somebody pays the man who brings the towels and puts
them into the case; somebody pays for every service, else
the servant cannot continue to serve.
. And when careless people trample the grass or raid the
flower beds or damage the benches in the parks, or deface
the walls of public buildings or waste or misuse other things
that are offered freely for public use and enjoyment, every
body must pay. The wrong and injustice is not less because
the cost of the carelessness and waste is spread widely.
