her ears, she wore another solitaire III
pin that fastened a cluster Of lace to
her throat, and a fourth brilliant was
IN ring. Her hair, nearly white, was
laid in waves; her cheeks were tinged
with just a shade of color, and her ap-
pearance indicated that she was quite
happy in spite Of the annoyances Of
crankS.
After Mr.. Green and Miss Sylvia had
left the dining room Mrs. Green re-
viewed CURRENT topics, prefacing the
interview by saying that the country
is in need Of some good, sound sense.
What do you think of the new
Woman?" she was asked.
DISCUSSES THE NEW WOMAN.
''The new woman is all right" she
said, "but we haven't got the right
kind of q new woman. My idea of the
new woman" declared Mrs Green,
shaking her finger by way Of emphasis,
lis the one who stays at home and
makes home happy. Good food is the
basis of happiness; therefore, the wife
going to pink teas and look after her
cooking. / don't care how many girls
q woman has in her kitchen, she ought
to be there herself occasionally to look
after things. She should lay down her
diamonds and knead dough once in a
while. Her husbands digestion will be
better for it-that u.s. if she learned
how to cook, as she should have done
before marrying, and he will stay at
home nights, instead Of going to the
club. There is no economy in buying
cheap food. If you haven't much
money don't get a big assortment, but
what you do get let it be good. Hash
has caused more divorces than I'M
faithfulness."
What do you think about dress re-
form?"
Mrs Green raised her hands in horror
at the suggestion. Il am against it
no, I am for it," she answered I'm for
reform, but not the kind some women
advocate, I'm for skirts that are not
germ collectors, but I don't want them
the length that little girls wear. If
were making the skirts Of the world [
would have them come within an inch
of the ground. Then women wouldn't
have to make themselves ridiculous by
holding up their dresses
You are opposed to bicycles for wo-
men, of cOurSe?'
"Of course I am not opposed to BIZ
cycles for women" was the reply my
daughter rides a wheel-that is, in the
country. There are too many people in
the city for there to be any enjoyment
in it. 1 don't ride added Mrs. Green,
and she chuckled at the thought of 1t,
but / might have ridden if bicycles
had been in date twenty-five years
ago. But those bloomers They're aw-
full Moreover, there is no need OF
them. The bicycle costume should have
a skirt just short enough to escape
getting tangled up in the wheel. 1t
should be below the knee and would
not be immodest. With such a skirt
there is no need for boomers"
HOW TO WAR ON TRUSTS.
AS to voting, Mrs. Green said that
women of good sense didn't want the
ballot.
IF they know when they are well
off they will stay at home, and take
care of the house." she said. Still she
has ideas of her own about politics
and good government and isn't afraid
to express them.
IF / could vote" she said. Il would
be a Democrat, because 1 am opposed
to trusts. The trust is the big political
question of the day. u 1t destroys COM
petition, and competition Is the life
Of trade. Trusts keep young men with
