In Defence Of Chivalry
The knighthood that was in flow- er has sadly gone to seed,
Women had a pedestal beneath them for a few hundred years. To- day they are lucky if someone does- n't kick their feet out from under them:
From far and' near comes the plaint of suffering maidens that the single standard is being impos- ed by man who has forgotten the instinct that once sent knights in shining mail to battle dragonsin defence of maidens.

Ow To Old Yore Man
By MRS. ELIZA MIFFIN
Aving got your man the next job is to old im.
if yore man is fond of the ladies like the late Mr Miffin this will take a bit of doin as this tipe is al- ways on the look out for a lark and there is plenty of snakes in the grass waitin to pounce if you dont keep yore eyes open.
first of all i advise my lady read- rs to git old, of his pay envelope Bava-man cant do much without money though i must say that the late Mr. Miffin did better than i expected with a shilling a day beer money and a bicycle.
The next thing apart from good omely cookin which goes without sayin is. never let yourself go to seed.
always ave a fresh ribbon in vore bonnet, and never let in see you in curlin papers.
also you should keep im guessin. you dont always_ave to tell im who bought you a nourishin stout. or wot you've got in that brown paper parcel...
and wot about doin that ban in yore heck one day, and on top of yore ead the next to give im a su prise?
but if the worst appena i do beg my lady readers not to take no no~ tice of them modern writera wot advise you to ask the snake in the grass ome to tea And tell er no wonder yore usband likes er as shes so pretty.

ing the filming of "Wife, Doctor and Nurse,” Warner Baxter compli- mented me on the fact
that not once did. I arrive late on the set. While I appreciated the compli- ment, I certainly didn't expect it, for I always try to be on time. My advice
to the man who's going to be even a quarter of an hour late is to call up and say so. It may save the day. More important, it may save the date.
Don't try to show off. The man who yells at other drivers in traffic doesn't impress the average girl with his bravery but with his boorishness. When you brag about having taken a cold shower every morning, don't forget that she may do the same thing herself.
