MANY WIDOWS IN CUBA.

The effect of the long Cuban war on
the homes of the Cubans is shown in the
returns of the census that was recently
taken there under the supervision of the
department. The census showed that
"a per cent of all the women who have
been married in Cuba are today widows.
Perhaps no country in the world can
show a larger per cent of widowhood.
An apparent inconsistency of figures con-
tanned in the Cuban census is shown
by the percentage of widows in that
island being only a little more than s
Der cent of all the women on the island.
This apparent discrepancy results from
the fact that the marriage ceremony in
Cuba was an expensive luxury during the
years of Spanish rule. 1t then cost IS
to get married at 6 o'clock in the morn
ing. and this expense was increased as
the hour OF noon, the most fashionable
time for the performance OF such cere-
monies was approached. Many Of the
poor people were forced to do without
che luxury Of a marriage. although they

The jealous husband is constantly in
evidence. He is not insane, although
at times he may be as difficult to deal
with as though he were; for a very
jealous man will lose control Of himself
in the same manner as will a person Of
an extremely quick, violent temper.
There is no rael, deep. abiding love
without jealousy. INK If a husband or
wife is entirely Indifferent to the habits
of the other in regard to their treatment
OF he opposite sex they have no true love
in their hearts.
OF course, the thing may be carried
to an extreme and the loved one be
made miserable by the watchful surveil-
lance of the husband, as in the case
where a bright, jolly, high-spirited girl
optimistic and full OF joy for the future
-marries a quiet, pessimistic, domestic
man, who cares not in the least for so
ciety and only goes about to social func-
ions to satisfy his wife's love for life
and enjoyment.

Kissing is one of the matters so fami

of it. OF course, every one of us in our
helpless infancy has been crushed be-
Meath the weight of unwelcome kisses,
and most of us. especially the boys, have
passed from this condition into one of
active opposition. wherein if the fat and
jovial friend of the family seized upon
angular old maid asked in dulcet tones,
Wont you come and kiss me, my pet?"

with girls from five to fifteen as matters
Of ridicule and sentimentality.
But Time, unresisting Time, leads both
girl and boy through this little belt of
cool verdure out upon the torrid plain
and the smiling rose gardens that lie at
the foot Of those weary and devious
paths that ascend the heights.
The permitted realms Of the kiss are
narrowing day by day. 1t would be mere
prudery, however, to deny that kisses
are still snatched, or stolen, or coaxed
ways well for their owners to remember
that the fruit that hangs just out Of

ages for equal quality of work Is this
fair basis to go upon. and women should
not be backward in advancing thedr
claims, for h world Is apt to take peO-
pie at their own valuation.
I attach great Importance to women
obtaining the franchise, because on that
all other questions hinge. While women
are unrepresented in the legislature,
their interests will be neglected by the
lawmakers. I am not at all AN cratic
person, n dislike the idea of a woman
unsexing herself in any way, but 1t seems
only natural to me that a woman should
live in the world freely, and that there
should not be any of these restrictive
laws imposed upon her because of sex.
Women fulfill their duty in the world
and ought not to be treated like ire
sponsible children.

used by a disemibodied spirit as a means
of making itself visible we call it ghosts.
But the baron also says that the odic
force is visible to experts, playing as a
light flame upon the ends of magnets and
upon the sensitive portions of the human
frame, especially the lips. and he grayely
that the measurable sensation of
a kiss is owing to the polarization of
odic force upon the fifth pair of nerves.
There are so any kinds of kisses that
again the subject of what is permissible
becomes involved in doubt.
There is the kiss of loving friendship
between women, the kiss of
ton, the kiss of simple greeting, the
kiss upon both cheeks. so common be-
tween men in Latin countries, the re-
spectful kiss offered to age, the kiss of
mere custom, happily going out of fash
ion.
And then there are Judas kisses, when
a man or woman dares to offer the high
set token of love to conceal ~inconstan-
cy, treachery and meditated treason
the worst kind Of lie the lips can frame.
Just why this contact Of the lips in
stead Of the cheeks, he chin, the brows
should be 50 instructive and 50 universal
who shall say? Perhaps, after all. Baror
R~eichenbach has hit the truth, and w

They accept the privileges of work and
of pay for it at good figures; they accept
the right to W property, to attend COL.
lege, to organize public enterprises, to
speak in public, and a thousand and
one other privileges, but they accept
these advantages with no feeling OF
gratitude or ingratitude. They do not
think o them at all. They are rights
which they hold to be inalienable; they
accept them as they accept Gods pure
air-the free gift and right of every in

The English gentleman who is so

Who has lived in some remote quarter of
the world under the conditions which
prevailed so years ago. One could we'll
imagine him to be a very old gentleman.
In his marriage ceremony the word
'obey" evidently figured co~nspicuously,
and in his domestic life it has been an
ever-present condition. He still holds
to the view, once universal, that men
compose society and the women are
their attendants.
But the new philosophy, largely adopt
ed by America, is that men and women
together make society. They both love,
cherish and cooperate with each other;
there is neither master nor servant.

If this be true, woman is taking a
step backward. That is especially de-
plorable now, when she was becoming
such a glorious creature, with her golf

ether athletic exercises and when her

oughly healthy that many things were

1t seems incredible hat a sensible

still more vital Importance, she Injuries

constructed there a most beautiful arch,
perfect in mechanism. The high heel
throws the weight on the toes and the

prise ar English one are accepted almost
without a ''thank YOU by an American

Are American women ungrateful?
No at all. Undoubtedly there are many
women who impose upon their husbands,
as there are many men who impose upon
their wives, but the motive is not ingrati-
tude. Such actions INDUCED in by men
or women represent nothing more or
less than unmitigated selfshness. That
women in America have more freedom,
more individual privileges and higher
recognition of their merits than in for
eign countries is a well-known fact.
What may seem like ingratitude in
American women who enjoy this en-
larged liberty is not ingratitude so much
as mere Indifference. Who ever heard

I am very optimistic on the economic

more and more to share the work of the

that some branches of domestic work are

think that ordinary justice would be dis

equality are too often ignored.
To return to the educational side OF
the question, a university woman who

which soon begin to jangle, and nervous
trouble is the result.
The weight of the body should be ev,
emily distributed in almost a straight
line. The bones of the leg bear 1t, and
the muscles take the strain. The. high
heel shoe throws everything below the
waist line out of poise.
The muscles Of the legs, trying to ac-
commodate themselves to this order Of
things, bow out. The straight line IS
lost. Walking is rendered difficult and
painful. Athletic sports become impos-
sible. Outdoor life must cease with the
advent of these perilous heels.
If American women want to become
just one degree removed from the Chi
nese women this is the way to accom-
plish it. They will of necessity become
indoor creatures, fit for nothing except
to sit around and be looked at. Grace
in walking, the erect poise of the fig
ure, must be sacrificed.
These shoes, the reflection of an artf-
fetal age, may suit pale. pasty, inert,
historical creatures. but I am quite in.
clined to believe that the freedom-lov-
ing, sport-loving, healthy women of to-
day will have nothing to do with them
