A Bachelor's
Complaint
By F. A. M1TCHEL
I aui a bachelor, and 1 propose to re
main a bachelor. Heaven forbid that
I should be tied by unbreakable chains
to one of those paradoxical, unreason
able, Illogical creatures, a woman.
Why my bosom friend, Jim Brown,
had lo pur a lirebntnd between him
self and uie 1 eau'i ■murine. We were
Inseparable. I nev -r felt at home with
any other person as with him. and
without me he did not know what to
do with hiiusel C. Suddenly I here pop
ped up bet wee u us—what? Clothes
many clothes, clothes varying in cut
with every season. Ami within these
clothes was a woman
There Is nothing unreasonable about
me. I would have been perfectly will
ing that Jim should go to see this
much adorned grownup child once a
week and stay till .'I in the morning
If he liked I certainly would never
have thought of being Jealous of one
who Is not endowed with a spark of
manliness Hut she was not satisfied
witli this. She wanted llitu all the
time. And Jin. pool beggar, was so
uuder her thumb that she did what
she liked with liiui.
Then she must needs nag :it liltn t«
bring me to see her Why she wished
to meet me was a puzzle. 1 certainly
hud no desire to meet her. "Do bring
your friend He must be u lovely num
since you are so loud of liiui." And
Jim was foid enough \o belli ve that
she wanted to fleet nic because I was
"a lovely man "
Just as soon j-s tliey were engaged
there was friction us t" the evenings
she wanted .1 im and those I wanted
him l. being u reasonable creature,
was willing to divide Jim's evenings
with her Not so she If Jim made
an engagement with me she would
make him break it.
Despite all this pulling and hauling
for Jim's companionship, lie must
brim; that "lovely" friend ot bis to see
her I refused lo so This frightened
Jim. fir l:o s.iit! mat n whuji c>-euie
uu enmity between bet :ii:il tne that
would be i!:i| li:isit!:t :iT* round. I gave
In tii Jim—::ot t<> lir»r
Con^lrttT'irj what <!«** wanted mt> for,
tier treatment of tin- was i cni.trkable.
Von wonl.l liuvc iln>tm!it siio was in
love witli mo iu.stiatl ft' Jim "I'm aw
fully fclnd If so? von!" she said, all
suilles "I'vi- beard so much about
yon that it seems 1 have known you
u long ".vhi!(> Yn'i have no Idea how
fond .lim is of you Von must come
and see nio often Any one that .lim
s|i. aks of so highh must be very nice."
If you had honid tho Inlonaiion she
gave tlu* words "very nice" you would
hnve realized the irony between the
beginning and eiitlinu ol litis sentence.
Mind ytui. I d.dn't »f tluougti al!
this then I toilless 1 wa.» fooled
while site was show ins plainly that
she had an object in fooling me. No
one Imt a woman can eod 1 lo a man
mid let him know that she is smiling
Mini without repelling him Instead of
repelling site winds him rouud tier tin
gel while she is feeding iiini poison.
(*ut I l.uow it all now .lim was
married, and when lie returned from
his wedding trip he tri. d to grasp my
hand with fervor.' but ll was riot the
same fervor as before I knew t hat
I had been supplanted, and. more than
this. I knew that his wife bud under
mined his good opinion of tin*. Then
It became apparent why she wished
Jim to bring me to see her S!ie
couldn't attack one s!io had never seen,
or If she tlid her onslaught would have
had no weight She must have some
thing tangible to attack.
"So this is the wonderful man.'' I
doubt not she said after seeing me
'that you have been lauding to the
skies Why did he not say some ot
those bright tliiti.iT-: tn.it you nave so
often spoken of? I'idn't feel well
enough acquainted': I suppose I shall
have to wait till he d»es Some day
when he feels more :■ t home here I ru e
suine he will deluge lis with his wit."
Wbal ii melancholy awakening Jim
must have hail after this tirst lu
speotion by his ladylove of ins bosom
frlt'od to discover that 1 was after all
a commonplace person: And limv sin
eul.it it b. that these creatures. who do
not know the difference helweeti a
syllogism ami side leather, ean produce
oa a m:in of intelle-tnil vigor the effect
they require by mere irony: Jim had
known tue intimately for years, and
yet by a few words a woman had shat
tered bis idol
Jim has a relapse occasionally and
drops into my room for a bit of "old
times." as he calls them Hut he
knows they are not old times: they are
altered times Doubtless he thinks
that for him they are changed for the
better; that he is leaving me in a sta
tlotmry position, while tie lias ad
rained At any rate. I have nolieed
that those tilings I continue to enjoy
or think 1 enjoy, are beginning to bore
him If 1 speak ol a new May on the
boards he will turn the subject to the
smart sayings of hi* little Jim Then
too. he has become absorbed in piling
up money for his wife and children
after he has gone, lie says it Is awful
to think of leaving them without sup
port It seems to me that in getting
married he gave up all the fun there
Is in life to make a slave of himself.
Sometimes I wonder whether if Jim
and 1 had grown old as bachelors we
would have maintained the same in
terest in each other 1 fear not. Men
develop on different lines. Some men
don't develop at all At any rate, I
find that association with any one does
not Interest tin* as it once did. I won
der If I will some day regret not hav
Ins put my head In one of these pestlf
erou> matrimonial nooses.

The Domestic Science class met
Friday afternoon with Mrs. Alber
Reinert at the Pullen House. A
fine article can be read in the Feb
ruary number of McCall's magazine
along tho lino of thi3 work which
is entitled "Overlapping School and
Home, Giving Dignity to the Dust
cloth and Wood Pile." When a pu
pil is given credit, that is, school
credit, for tasks well performed,
what a change for the worker! The
work is dignified and a pleasure and
instead of a task, the "chores" be
come something to look forward to
as a joy and not as a drudgery. One
can almost fancy a child cultivating
an "ear"' in the way of mus'e with
sucTa an incentive.
