What followed may be set down to coincidence or to the de- Jusions of a weakened brain or to witchernft, as you ehooge, . ~- On the way to the Seine the Inckless Raphnol stopped for n moment nt an anti- quary shop near the quay, Phere he fell into talk with the hideous and mysterious man who kept the shop, - Ruphael was led into professing his plan to kill himsel, . \The shopkeeper listened to tho desperate youth's story; then produced from his .*xeasure chest the skin of 1 wild donkey, ou.

Yet the wishing linbit is hard to break, And more than once, unthinkingly, he voiced some idle wish; which enused .the Magic Skin to shrink. | By this time the skin was barely six inches square, | . Then, at the opera, one night, Raphael chanced to meet Pauline Gandin, again -the girl he had loved and who had been parted from him by poverty, ; :- tthe 'oldtime romance was renewed. | He and Pauline fell desperately in love with | clnch other, once more; and now no obstacle separated them. They were married. 20s - a For a while the two were gloriously happy. But always, in the back of his mind, Raphael carried the knowledge that he must die as soon as his list of wishes should have used up the Magic Skin. And by this time there was but a tiny frag- ment of the skin left. ; N « Incessant worry broke dowh Raphael's none-too-sturdy health, Pauline! was pathetically anxious about him.

I've known a slipshod woman who had hothing to do all day long but keep her. house in order who didn't do that, She'd dawdle about the halls of her apartment all day Jong, rush to the movies in the afternoon and come home in the evenihng at about the time her husband did to offer him a cold menk of delicatessen urchases. . \ - - he v t Half the time the poor, tired man would have to slick up, the sheets of his un- miade bed before going to his night's rest, | All the time ho lived in dust and dirt which made his once-cheery little apartment a'squalid as a two-room tenement where 10 people sprawl about in a sad and sordid. imitation of living, for the woman who has nothing to do but keep her house in order and who is too lax and Jazy to-do that I feel nothing but scorn, | Phere are--hlas>-plenty such alackers-but the masculine ones for a change.

Mow well is a man doing that when he lets the girl he was going to protect start off every morniog on an equal basis of work and then lets her add to the sum total of her exertions for him all of the housework? If their work» ing life is.on a 50-50 basis-fine! But why should the girl-add a full percentage of home making to hee quota? | Why shouldn't that be 50-50 tno? ._ \For the man who slouches around in slippers and smoking jacket and scatters geetions of the paper and nshes all over the place every Suntay-all the old-fush foned housekeepers in the world would have ever had lifted hands and eycbrows and then friend husband rouseed up the place on Sunday, his wife remembered that he was a boy-grown-up and that this was his one day for rest and that it didn't hurt a woman who'd had it casy all'week to clear up a bit after a man who'd worked like a dog. - « All right. Fine! as we said before. * But if a “21h: has worked from 0 to 6 every day of the week, just as her hus band has done,'doesn't she need a day of rest just as much as he does?
