"PERFECT" MAN GETS ROAST
London Writer Retusea to Envy Worn
en Who Are "Blessed" With
Such a Life Companion,
Every one envied a certain lady be
cause It was apparent that she kid
si.ch a perfect husband.
True enough, the gentleman neither
drunk, swore, looked at other women,
grumbled, nor did he spend any time
away from bis wife except when at
business.
Vet the woman who "possessed" this
model of i-orfeetlun found him a most
Irritating companion with whom she
w forced to spend her life, mi.vs l.on
don Answers. Kor Instance, If she got
worn out trying lo pacify linby, who
whs cross, aud eventually lost her tem
per with the child, her husliund would
come In, take the little one In his arm
and amiably try and often succeed,
as a fresh person sometimes does to
work the oracle with calmness.
Thut would be all very well If be
didn't put on the "See how much bet
ter my method la" ulr, which is most
tantalizing.
Perfect men are so anxious to ob
trude their perfection upon (heir wom
enfolk that they often defeat their own
ends. They spend money on seats for
the opera or buying little presents with
no knowledge of whether such will be
Ibe most acceptable or tleslnible gifts.
It Is because these men are so good
In Intentions that their wives haven't
the heart to say, "I'd rather have had
.1 shillings for a new box iron. It would
save me such a lot of trouble."
The husband who has a few glaring
faults Is pretty sttre to look over his
wife's fallings and humor her, whims.
The perfect man has a horrible knack
of preaching at his womenfolk.
The woman with a faultleas husband
often feels like doing something to
make him awear at her. Perfection la
apt to become dull and monotonous.
Don't envy the woman with a per
fect husband, you wives who wish
your own men wouldn't drop cigarette
ash on the carpet or storm a bll w hen
things go wrong; for these careless,
"temperlsh" men have a lot of goisj
qualities to balance their faults.
The man who never raises his voice
to complain rarely softens It to wife
with loving words of praise.
Shells Still Flying.
Residents of the devastated districts
of France are still fleeing from bursts
of shell and shrapnel.
The new menace la caused by the
small grass and swamp fires, which
frequently set off the shells that have
been piled up to be hauled away and
exploded In some safe place.
MaJ. H. C. lireene of Huston had a
thrilling ride and narrowly escaped a
ball of shrapnel on his wiiy from St.
Quentln to Laon as a result of one of
these fires. A French woman work
ing In a tleld neur Bouconvllle was
gassed and considerable damage hs
beeu done.
In the vast, desolate fields, thou
sands of unexploiled shells huve been
picked up by (lennan prisoners, and
though there are details hauling them
away and exploding them In remote
valleys every day, there are still long
ranks of them everywhere. Sparks
from locomotives and from small tires
where battlefield rubbish Is being
burned occasionally set fire to patches
of dry weeds, and the accidental
bursts are numerous.
Brazilian Church 100 Years Old.
Christ church of lllo de Janeiro,
which soon will celebrate Its cente
nary, Is said to have been the first
Protestant church to he built In South
America.
It was erected to provide a place of
worship for the English community.
Two restrictions were placed on the
church, the exterior was to resemble
a dwelling house and not a temple,
and no hells were allowed. Out of
this concession grew the religious
liberty which now exists In Brazil.
Today there are two Anglican dlo
ceses and 40 churches In South A liter
lea.
Jack of All Trades.
Although President Kineritus Eliot
of Harvard university no longer takes
an active part In the conduct of the In
stitution he has been characterized as
"Professor of Everything." A man of
his acquaintance overheard the follow
ing conversation of two rural folk st
Bar Harbor a few days ago:
"There goes Professor Eliot."
"Who?"
"Professor Eliot of Harvard col
lege." "What's he professor of?"
"Well. I dunno, but I guess he's prsv
fessor of the whole darn thing."
Just a Pocket Piece.
The Newcomer I can't Just get
the hang of this American money.
This nickel, for Instance: what's It
worth?
The Did Timer A nickel? That has
no purchasing value these days. It's
merely the change you get out of a
dollar.

This picture, painted especially for the Near East Belief by M. Leone
Ilrnrker, vividly portrays what words fall to express the horrible suffering
of I je women and children of Armenia and adjacent countries. Pence has
blessed Europe and America for more than a yeur but tn Western Asia con
ditions more frightful than any wur time experiences of the martyred popu
lations of Belgium aud France still exist. Thousands of women and children
escaped uiassucre h; the Turkish aoldlers only to face the terrible agonies of
death by starvation. At the present time It Is estimated that 1,250,000 adults
and fully lir.it.tKK) orphaned children are completely destitute and In Imminent
danger of death by starvation and exposure.
The Near Easr. Belief, 1 Madison Avenue, New York, Is at present the
only organization giving aid to these suffering people and lack of funds atlll
preveuta the reaching uf more than a small part of the stricken people.
