Gilpin observer., 1901-09-19

Door husbands? They have developed
into mere money-making machines,
and yet it is their own fault; they are
utterly unselfish as far as their women
folk are concerned. They want their
wives to be smarter than any one else,
their houses to be in the most fashion,
able quarter, and, above all, their din
ners to be described in the papers!
For this they are willing to pay. Up
early, hurried breakfast and off to
the office they go, rushing for steam
boats to cross from New Jersey, tear
ing for tramcars to get over Brooklyn
Bridge, or flying for the overhead to
convey them from Harlem in their
wild rush for Wall street. They work
hard all day in a pandemonium, lunch
con is a scrappy entertainment, after
noon tea is unknown, and they arrive
home tor their 7 o'clock dinner dead
beat and thoroughly played out. My
heart often ached for those poor hus-
bands; they seemed to have SO little
relaxation in their strife for wealth.
'Tis hard life, that of the well-to-do
American citizen, but he never COM
plains. and goes on week after week
with punctilious regularity raking in
dollars for his wife to spend.

XnVenffon TO Curn LeavcS of

Young men nave long made them
selves useful by turning over leaves
of music for ladies' who were playing
the piano, but it is doubtful if in future
tney will be called upon to do much
of this pleasant work, for device has
now been invented in France, the OBJ
ject of which is to do this very work
mechanically.
When this device is attached to a
piano, all that the player has to do Is
to press with the foot upon a small
rubber knob, which is placed near one
of the pedals. A slight pressure of the
foot sufiices to release sheet or leaf
of music from a clasp which holds it.
