A Surprise For Paw. HE WAS TALKING TO MAIN ABOUT AN- OTHER WOMAN'S AGE. “ What fools some people are,” paw sod. when we were Having a nice soci- able Time on the frunt portch Thursday mte. " I no it.” mew told him. “ Some- time it makes me feel real sad To think they are so menny peeple in the world that (-an’t see their faults as Others see that», without thinking They are prej- udist against themselves.” "Look at the_captun and his wife next door,” paW‘isays. “ I should Think they ot to no Better.” “What have they Been, doing ? ” maw est. “ I rode out in the same car with the captun today,” paw ansercd, “ and we got to talkin about how jellus it always makes a woman to Be told some other woman looks yung. So he told me all‘ about it. He said he got to plaiging his his wife telling her Mrs. Bassett doesn’t look a day more Than Thirty. The cuptun’s wife sed she new she Was thirty Five, and so they Got agoin it, .and now she won’t speak to him.” ” It makes me perfectly disgusted with some people.” maw sed, “ when I hear about the Foolish things they do. ill he wasn’t blind he could see his wife Was rite about it.” “ But what I blame him for,” paw â€"says, “is stickin to it when he could have peace in the fambly by lettin his wife think he Thot the same as she did, becoz it wouldn’t do enny harm.” “And I don’t see why she wanted to , go on Talking aboutit,” maw told him, "‘ when she new that the woman was ‘thurty Five, and it didn’t make enny difference whether the captun thot so or not." . “ Yes,” paw sad, “and if I would of been him I would of let her go ahed .thinkin the way she Pleased, as long as it made her happy and wouldn’t make Mrs. Bassett morc’n twenty-nine or Thnrty, enny way, and mite”â€" " Paw,” maw told him, “ you’re just as sillie as the old fool of a captun About that wowan. She’ll never see Thirty-six again and you no it.” “ l‘hirty-six?” paw says. “ Maw, yr u’re crazy; I’ll bet she ain’t thirty . _y.t, You can see it by her Looks.” “ You no better than that,” maw sed. “ If you don't, you must be as blind as a bat.” “ There’s no use getting into a skirm- midge about it,” paw ansered. “ I ain’t aeoin to be like the czlptun' I no too nuch‘about hewmau naitcher for that. If you want to think you think she’s thirty-six, go ahead and Think so. It w n’t hurt her enny or make enny‘ Dif- ie.ence about what I think. So what’s .tl‘e use getting mad about it? I believe it. Being sensablc about these Things. 1 u" rather give ,up even when I no I'm ri e than to have a quarl with a womno about another womnn’s aige. So if it’ll . uu vou they good to Think she's six or seven years older Than she is, go ahead and be Happy, and I won’t say enny more about it. I don’t bclrave ital-Ian )in on a thing when you no your breth is wasted, but i can’t see why wimmin :. re so blame jellus of one another’s nine, and what’s the use ronging her be- hind her back? What good would it .do you if She was forty instead of twen- .ty-seveo or twenty-ate ? It wouldn’t make you enny younger, would it?- ‘l‘luat’s sumthing I’d like to have you explain. If the captun would of had enny sense, he would of just said all rile when his wife told him she was five or six years older than she is, and drop- ped the subject like me. But that’s where some people ”-â€"- Then mow jumped up and grabbed her sowing and went in the house and slammed the Door as hard as she could. “ Well, by George,” paw sed after he looked around quick two or three times, lemz he that he mite get hit by some thing from behind, “ that’s always the way when you no to Tawk filosnfickle to u womun. Here I came home all tired to-niuht, and thot we'd have a nice soshublo time, so I could Forget about BiZ'lCSS cares. and that’s the way it turns out.
