That Is a Question which a Chicag go
Woman Has Investigated


Mrs. Emma jackson OF Chicago, has
been Investigating a much discussed SUBJ
ject with results acceptable to the mass of
women. She says: 'I was told that
you could not get married unless you
promised to obey your husband. The
thing was said so often that finally L
came to believe 1t. In the past year
the old story has came up again and again.
l got tired OF it finally and looked into the
matter. To my surprise, 1 find that there
is no authority for it whatever.

That's all there was to it. The great Roman
Catholic church. the Greek, COptic, and
Armenian have followed the same practice.
The church of England in the time of Henry

churches introduced the word obey

FRENCH ABIGAILS.
They Also Have Many Woes of Their
Own.
London Telegraph.

London Telegraph.
An outcry has been raised In Paris by
some OF those useful and indispensable
adjuncts to every household. namely, the
femmes de chambre, who are clamoring for
the establishment OF a special bureau de
placement" or employment registry.
These abigails, or soubrettes, as they
are called on the stage, have numerous
grievances. They complain that when
they are out OF work they are obliged to
enter boarding-houses. where they have
to ply the needle, something after the
fashion of Hoods shirtmaker, and when
they have toiied for a few weeks they per-
haps get employment in what they term
box meaning a small household. at
about 3Of month. Sometimes they enter
homes kept by religious persons, who,
they say, only obtain employment for them
when they know the Bible by heart.
Another grievance OF the domestics is
that they are being replaced by foreign
ers. either English or German, espdciaily
ers. either English or German. especially
the former, owing to the fact that French
natrons now desire that not only their
children, but they themselves should learn
the language of Shakespeare and Milton.
Some OF the tirewomen who have been
abroad advise their companions to try
America, where French nurses are in good
request.
One servant in particular, who is among
those actively conducting the movement
for the foundation of the special registry,
relates that she had splendid situa tion
in the United States, where she earned
nearly f5 monthly, obtained many dol
lars every week by way of largesse. and
lived on the fat of the land. Her dream
or bliss and prosperity was, however. cut
short by the sudden death of her generous
mistress, whose widowed husband soon
afterward consoled himself for his loss
by marrying his cook. or course, when
the cook began to assert herself in her
new station the help from Europe had
to pack up her trunk and bandboxes and
take passage home by the first liner.
The new mistress would only have around
her people whom she had herself chosen.
and the cleanest OF sweeps was made of
all the domestics who had been engaged
under the old regime.

best success in proportion to the land al.

pulled up the weeds from her neighbors'
plots, which she preserved, dried, and
burned, using the ashes to fertilize her own
land. She thus secured good crops with
small expense, and besides storing up
enough vegetables TO last her through the
winter, she succeeded in making profit Of
