her exDerience in other cities in lndianap-

Here is little character study for those
who grow Decentralization those who have
plenty, but who want more or different
things. In one room Of a North Side base
ment live two Swedish women. One sews
overalls and makes enough to keep both
women alive and to pay the rent. The other
one takes care of the house and helps with
the sewing. Nothing wonderful in that, Is
there? But this is. Everything. mind you
everything in their house has been picked
up in the alleys. The quilts on their beds
are made from picked-up scraps. The
feather pillows are made from one pillow,
which the housekeeper washed and aired be-
fore using. Everything is as clean as wash
ing ana scrubbinS can make il. Plates and
cups are nOtched and pitchers are minus
handles, but the women kneel and thank
dishes. Dainty maids who have refused
epicurean connections on nicked china might
spend a moment in thought about this little
matter.
A charitable woman took them basket
of fOOd-enOugh for several days. They ate
enc meal from it and carried the rest to a
sick boy who so like salary and schicken."
When those two little women sit in their
clean little den stitching away, sometimes
their thoughts wander back TO the mother
country. They see themselves full OF life
and youth. working in the fields glowing
with sunshine, and life seems glad and fun
of sweetness.

Fin De Steele GRANDMOTHER.

The grandma in her cap Of snow,
Who by the hearthstone used to sit,
And in the frelights cheerful glow
With flying fingers used 10 knit,
Is gone alack-a-day!
She used 20 make such gingerbread,
What seed cakes, too she used to bake!
Fit for a king the children said.
Was grandma's golden JOhnny-cake.
But she has passed away.
Quite different Is grandma now,
Her Office Is sinecEre:
No wrinkles corrugate her brow:
Her hair - Ia POmpadour:
She wears deHii-train.
She laughs at signs OF fitting years:
No spectacIes rest on her nose:
At things Oid-fashiOred grandma sneers;
y lorgnette takes where er she goes
Hung by a golden chain.
Coarse knitting work she does not love,
Though oft she spins upon her wheel;
Her ball dress fits her like glove,
Her snowy neck does not conceal
The fashion or to-day.
OF cookbook rules she has no need,
on mental culture is she bent.
And Roberts Rules does grandma read,
She of a club Is president:
And she has come to stay.

Ambitious women. who possess the power

without establishing that most delightful

in England. exists to-day. exerting an in

drop the fatal knife upon the neck of pOlit-
fcal victims. The atmosphere OF New York

anything OF this sort. The nearest approach

The American woman Is not subtle enough

turned their drawing rooms into mere men,

and whiSkered specimens OF the genus man

American woman. and especially with the
New York woman. IS not that she lacks

Another idea in making up organizes is

Women and Business.

Ida H. Harper in New York Sun.
1t was an Indiana state senator. Drum
mOnd by name and the bill under discussion
was one TO allow women TO go surety. He
said: Women did not know anything about
business, and he hoped they never would
know anything about it. Woman's place
was not in business. but to give majesty and
sweetness to a home. A woman could not
take a mans place, and ought not. Her
heart was not made like a mans"
This reference to anatomy reminds one Of
the times when it used to be gTavely as
serted that man had one less rib than
woman because one was taken out to make
woman. 1t will have 10 be admitted, how
ever, that her stomach is so much like man 5
that she gets hungry occasionally although
not 80 often, perhaps, as he dOeS), and she
also has 10 be clothed. Many one has been
very poorly fed and clad, and so have her
children, because her husband had believed

fortunately he could not live always 10
protect his wife in her sweetness and ig-
nOTance and some other man took advan-
tage OF these very qualities so that the hcme
became his instead of hers.
When the writer of this article was in
that same city of Indianapolis, a few months
ago, a prominent real-estate man said: The
turn first 10 women for their easiest VIC
Tins" Every one of US can recall women
who have been beggared because they lacked
the knowledge of protecting their material
interests Ii is astonishing that a father or
husband should consider IL a mark of affec-
ton to keep the women OF his family In
ignorance OF business matters. This spirit
Is relic of those days when 1t was con-
sidered ''unwomanly" for the wife TO hold
property in her own name or for the daugh-
ter to work for wages. A thorough training
in business matters does not render a
woman any the less sweet" or prevent her

the less majesty" and il may enable her
To keep a roof over her head if the husband
