rr HE most recent trend of automobile design is strik-
ingly exemplified in the "Bigger and Better" Chev-
rolet. The high,narrow radiator . . the long,
low bodies . . . the unbroken sweep of `the lines
from front to rear the stylish blending of
colors in finish and upholstery . . these distin-
guish Chevrolet as unmistakably new and fashionable.
In power, in speed and snap, the "Bigger and Better"
Chevrolet is no less modern and vigorous. Countless
refinements in engine and chassis give Chevrolet a
performance as dependable as it is brilliant.
The "Bigger and Better" Chevrolet, alone among low-
priced cars, has truly caught the modern spirit.
The G.IIT.A.C..`, Genera; Motors' own deferred pay-
ment plan' affords the most convenient and economical
way ofbuying your Chevrolet on time.

THE PARSON'S WIFE
By Parrish Bliss
;There are parishes that by their ca-
pacity to love and to comprehend
mustnow and again cause the Guar -1
d.ian Angels hurriedly to calltogetherI
the Heavenly Committee on the Ex-
tension of the Kingdom, lest the Ce-
lestial' Realm -be left behind by a few
groups of plain folk bent upon that
noble contention, or rather emulation
of who best can work and the best
agree. And in every parish there are
WING l /kiln. :^ '1'p'.IN11::
always certain blessed ones with im-
perishable halos that never need' to be
repaired or explained, who accept the
minister's family first and last as
other humans/. who have come to live
in their midst. But too often the min-
ister's family is a thing apart, placed
on a pedestal, perhaps that It may be.
the more easily knocked off; and in
most. parishes there is at least the
remnant of the Roman atelia, in which
the sign "Thumbs tip" is almost un
known;
The lawyer's wife, the farmer's wife,
the dentist'srywife, the ashman's 'wife,.
the merchant's wife, the professor's
wife, the doctor's'wife,:while undoubt-

cessand happiness of her husband„

ies of his profession or business.
If she makes a good home for her
husband, is reasonably, attractive,
looks well after their children, if they
have any, andiif he loves her, she gets
by witha wide margin to spare. In-
deed she may be none of these things
—the home may be ill kept, the child-
ren neglected she may hot love hint
and he may dislike her, she may defy
the conventions and outrage the good
taste and breeding of the best people;
still, if he is enough of a lawyer, or a
farmer, or a dentist, or an ashman,
or a professor, or a merchant, or a
doctor, and if he does not let it get
his nerve, it need not seriously, affect.
his career. His wife may be utterly
devoid of tact, a. gossip, a neighbor-
hood nuisance; still, if his wise enough
to keep his own counsel and main-
tain fiis' dignity, it may even happen
that l' the• public, is
p , sort y to see such
talent tied to so great .a handicap, will
generously contribute the more to his
success.
If a doctor's son or a merchant's
daughter does something to set the
town tongues awag, it is not reflected
in the profession or the business of
the father. People will buy the fa-
ther's diamonds, permit hint to mend
their shoes, or invoke his aid to help
them to evade laws which they assist-

And with the exception of certain
persons affected with chronic intellec-

large degree of understanding sym-
pathy:
But when we come to the consid-

ter another world: so differently does
;the vast majority .of people think of
her. If the -minister is a _wise man,
he will choose a wife not only be-
cause he
e-cause'he loves her, but because he has
reason to believe that a parish will
likewise love her. What would seem,
to be the particular and special busi-
ness, of two people who are devoted
to each other thus becomes the busi-
ness of a considerable group.
Sometimes it happens that a young

slef still a ,rood deal of a lamb, feel-
ing just as other people feel, assumes
that he can act like other people, and
so without long and careful considu,
ation permits himself to fall in lov,
with a woman whq has a proiessit✓
or a business yielding her 'a lielpfu
income. His salary is small, but,
the true optimist, he adds, " as yet.'
Well, she can supplement .it by keep-
ing up her teaching or singing or de-
signing or typing, and they can have
their love, Marvellous! But it never
occurs to him, untutored as yet in the
frugal ways of the overage parish,
that most congregations will expect
two full services for one small salary.
• The minister's wife is supposed, to.
work at, her .lhisband's job—a kind of
spiritual antenna, he, of course, being
the loud speaker. She cannot follow
herown bent. She must keep the
manse, teach in the Sunday School,
be president, of the women's society,
fill parish gaps in hospitality to stran-
gers; she must chaperon the young
people and stand between those who
associate the church with nothing
more lively 'than ''the cemetery and
'those, who would change liberty into
license. She is at the -call of every
committee, and to her the place of
endless torment is only the central
office of the , Eternal Telephone Ex-
change. She dare not decline to do
many things for which she has neith-
er adequate time, strength, nor ability.
Besides these small: duties, she must
entertain and keep up social contacts
outside the parish life.
She must have talent, and super-tal
ent, not to let any particular ability
that she may .possess to greatly over-
shadow that of any member of the
congregation who happens to be simi-
larly gifted. She dare not be dull;
but, if her brilliancy chances to ex-
ceed that of certain of the congrega-
tion who set high value upon their
own power to shine intellectually, her
husband, may find; it necessary to dim
her to a shade leis than the same
shining parishioner. She is expected
to listen to all political and social news
sympathetically but must not offend
by expressing her personal convic-
tions, particularly when they happen
to class with those with whom they
should not class, else her husband-
"Dear, dear man— such an inspiring,
helpful preacher and such a devoted
pastor, but hampered, don't you know,
so hathpered, really—this cannot go
ons"
If she is dowdy, she is doomed; but
woe betide her if she dresses too well.
A sufficient number of skillfully twice
turned gowns entitle her to one pair
of used angel wings. Her husband's
salary is really not 'his and hers to
spend on clothes or culture as they
see fit, but, even after it has been
earned and been paid often too
widely separated times it' is still by
some Christian cunning the property
of the. congregation.
It does not do for the minister's
wife to allow any particular person or
group to like her too well, lest those
who care for her not at all make it
an occasion for jealousy.
If she is tactless, or if she is an
inefficient housekeeper, her life will.
be just one parsonageafter another.
If the children turn out to be eagles
in the nest of a common garden va-
riety of every -day fowl, and get be-
yond her control, violate the generally
accepted conventions, join the youth-
ful progressives belonging to the trus-
tees and the deacons and the first
families of the parish, the annual "Ev-
ery Member Canvass" for the budget

there is so much spiritual static in the
air that it is extremely difficult to get

heartbreaking period and out of the
babel of unintelligible sounds, a voice
is distinguished, and the minister goes
to a place with tht assurance that
there is unlimited opportunity to work
and limited chances to succeed. And
even then, with the parish secretly
congratulating itself, the lady of the
manse must not seem too glad to
go.
The coal merchant's wife and the
Captain's wife inay have been among

minister's wife Must "deny herself
and take up her cross" --here is where
we depart from the quotation --and
follow the parish traditions! She can-

nected with it will appear to the hes
possible advantage. She must be col•
stantly vigilant to see that her hus
band's aura radiates the proper light
and is toned to just the right shads:

of invisible hands with which to ar-
range a multitude of things that many
a citunsy-minded participant will
swear she arranged herself. She must
never claim copyright. She cannot
be :a person, much less a personality..
She is a scene shifter in the earthly
drama of divine adventure, and : as
such cannot take applause. Her re-
ward is in knowing that the show has
made good, Applause for her comes
all too often when distance or death
has dulled her hearing. Life often
makes her pretty much of a chaznelon,
taking on the color of her environ-
ment. When things become too
kaleidoscopic, like the chameleon
green, blue, purple and grey, but when.
which obediently blended, into red,
placed upon the Scotch plaid burst
itself trying to make good, so she.
breaks herself in the hopeless endeav-
or to meet the diverse multitude of
parish demands. ,
And yet, despite all the handicaps,
the inhibitions, • and the self -denials, it
happens more than often that the par-
son's wife is a character ofrare and.
lofty distinction. If she is great en-
ough to occasionally perch on the top
of her surroundings and see them as
they really are; if she can work un-
seen and still work well and without
bitterness; if she can give herself un-
