MRS LIEUT. LUCEY Wife of Lieut. huceu Battery D. First Cali
fornia ArtiIlerI.

Which Is the braver, the woman who
remains at home, after seeing her hus-
band sail away to an unknown coun-
try, while she courageously takes up
her life alone, enduring awful suspense
struggling to stifle the craving to see,
if only for a minute, the absent one,
and striving to feed and clothe, per-
haps, a number of little ones: or the
woman who follows her husband to
war?
In my opinion, the former is the
Drawer? / have lived in Cavite. and
know that the excitement of conquest
holsters up the courage to do and dare.
And really, after all, that is not hero
ism. The insurgents had frequently
threatened to attack Cavite. and sew
eral times we women were hurried off
to Fort San Felipe. At the slight
est sound the men were UP in arms and
chasing madly down the street leav-
ing us to protect ourselves. An Off
GERS duty is to his country and a wife
at such a time is only care. On the
morning of the 5th of February we
were awakened by the bursting of
shells and the roaring of guns. We
forgot to eat breakfast and ran like
mad up and down the sea wall, strain
ing our ears to catch the fragments Of
conversation. The navy, artillery and
Winchesters thundered their reports

upon the air, and Mrs. Diss and 1.-THE
only women in Cavite at this time
prayed for the safety of our American
boys, while at the same time there was
a hope that there would be fewer Fill
pinos for our boys to fight.
All human feelings were lost, and I
wished that 1 were only man and
that I might have my share In the
contest, which we watched from the
tower on top of the house where the
colonel had his headquarters. Shell af-
ter shell was thrown from the Monad-
mock into the lines Of the insurgents.
destroying lives, block houses and nipa
huts. I found myself rejoicing at this
awful destruction, and hoped and
prayed that the warship Manila
would begin firing at the enemy.
1 wondered, as many others did, If
Admiral Dewey's terms would be ac-
cepted by the rebels, and half wished in
my heart that they would not, in order
to give those in Cavite a chance to
fight. The excitement of war overcame
all thought that the Filipinos were hu-
man beings.
If the unnatural, fiendish exultation
which possesses woman while witness
ing a battle is called bravery. then
give me the Christian, sympathetic
heroism of the wife who stays at home.
1t is sweeter and greater.

Ia II the bravest thing to run away
with our husbands to the field OF bat

remain at home?
THAT is a difficult question.

as the encouragement and stimulus of a
good woman in his home. Behind every
successful man is the influence of some
good woman. We sometimes say that
women know very little of business. and,
judged from the business standards Of
men, this is technically true.
The reason Of this is simple enough in
that the one is by his very creation fitted
for business and then trained; the other
is not. But the most powerful. If silent,
factor In the world of business to-day,
nevertheless, is the influence of woman.
She ii is who stands behind the man, in
fusing new hope, new courage, and point
ing the way to q new beginning and often
portant matters in a single moment where
days of planning along business lines have
brought only failure and deeper gloom.
How often the women of this land have
been the means Of averting business dis
asters or the multiplying Of failures with
further complications the world will never
know. But there are men who know 1t.
It may sound smart to some ears to say
that "a woman breaks a man." and alas!
that It should be true In some cases. But
1t Is also true that moro often woman
makes a man. We read and hear of the
former, and sometimes, because of certain
conditions of circumstances, we are in
clined to exaggerate their number. But
that is only because of the noise they
make. Happy marriages are silent, and
far outnumber the unhappy ones.
Whenever we hear of an unhappy mar
riage we should always remember that
there are thousands and thousands of
happy unions of which we never hear.
Where love is kept alive in a home un-
happiness has hard time getting a foot
hold, and as the good women in the world
stands q pretty good chance of getting
one of the right kind-that is, If he can

the keynote is unselfshness Before
the news Of the Samoan action had
reached US Mrs. Kautz had written to
the admiral Of some matters that had
given her annoyance, but when the
shocking news came in less than an
hour we were on our way to San Fran

Mrs. Kautz did not rest until she had
recovered letter from the mail in
which she had written to the admiral
OF some personal losses, for she said

ing If not experienced too long. I am
sure that I felt more courageous in
consenting to leave Manila than I did
in entering it last year. Then the city
was under military control and per-
fectly quiet. There was quite a little
of social life during the months OF No
vember and December, such as din
ners, dances, drives and promenades
on the Lunetta. After the proclamation
of General Otis, however, and the de-
fant reply of Aguinaldo affairs in the
city assumed a more serious aspect
Then came the test for the nervous
women to show their heroism We were
often startled in the still of night by the
call to arms, but so many false alarms
were given that on the night of Feb
ruary l obeyed my inclination to
sleep until / felt certain that trouble
was at hand. That night will always
live in my memory. The excitement.
Though silent, was intense, and the
courage that comes up, in everv
woman's heart rose to the occasion
then. The sound of the galloping hoofs
the quiet mastering of the troops, the
commands in the dark, thrilled every
one who saw it with a serious feeling

about our quarters. The Colorado boys

women in our household went to the

bearing the wounded and among them
the dead body of a Colorado boy-then
the women showed their courage.
They brought out drinks and refresh
ments for the returning soldiers, who
greeted them with three ringing tu-
multuous cheers-not for the success
of the skirmish, not for the red, white
and blue, but three stirring. agitated
cheers for the American women"
The women visited the hospitals,
wrote letters for the wounded, said
prayers for the dying, sang .encourag-
ing songs for the homesick boys and
soothed the aching heads with their
tender hands. This was their mission.
One American woman had two sons in
the field, and every day she visited the
trenches to inquire for and speak to
her darling boys, and every day she
came back to her home with their
promises of bravery newly pledged
from their lips, and every day the sons
of the absent mother watched for her
sweet face and blessed her as she
passed them.
But there is bravery surprising all
this, and it belongs to the wife who
stays at home.

Heroism in woman is a thing that
cannot be measured, therefore it can
not be compared. It comes up like a
prayer, under the most discouraging
difficulties, and her greatness lies in
her ability to be cheerful when gov

fore which a man would quail. The

en-, and no woman ever yet let her hus-
band go into danger without feeling
that he would be sacrificed, just be-
cause she feels him to be the bravest
of all brave men and knows that he
will court disaster to pluck the green
bow for her. There is difference in
the heroism of men and women. A
man concentrates his energies and eff
forts for the supreme attempt, and
woman accomplishes the same results
by carefully attending to the details
After all has been said all heroic ef-
fort ends in this-be 1t man or woman
