SOME ADVICE TO WOMEN

The fad that the bathroom, bar-in leaks may well be an annoyance, but why let it worry you iiito visualising au inundation that ruins the plaster anil takes you iiito the plumber's shop, where a huge bill rises to smite you'd The fact' thai your, daughter didn't wear her heavy coat may well be au apprehension, but why iot it become, in yoiir mind's eye, a .long spell of illness, a heavy doctor's bill, and pelhaps a funerali 1
