SHE PLAYS WITH THE CHILDREN.
reader, and there's nothing she likes
better than to talk to intellectual peo-
pie. In fact, she has nothing in com
mon with the type Of woman the Ger-
mans designate as hausfrau.' Well,
my dear the other day she happened
to call on a woman of this description
"a woman who cared for nothing but
her houSewOrk and kitchen. And what
do you suppose happened? Why, she
fascinated the creature completely.
During the whole of her visit she talk
cd most enthusiastically on household
subjects, discussed the relative merits
of Browns and Of Jones baking pow
ders and whether that new washing
cOmpUuud "VIc hvIco In tho clothes OK
not. Fancy! And l don't believe she
ever held a tin of baking powder in
her hand during her whole life. Here's
another instance: She can't endure
children, you know, yet whenever she
goes where there are any she plays
with them in the most charming man
ner and quite wins the hearts Of all
the mothers.
"She will volubly discuss politics on
Tuesday evening with Jack Wither-
ington, who admires brainy women,
and will make him admit she is the
cleverest one he ever met, and yet on
Wednesday, when Lester Carew ap-
pears on the scene Che has old fash
ioned ideas on the subject Of women,
no will dfcr,lar- or 10 a
utterly feminine ignorance on all seri-
Gus subjects.
"And then when she attends the
meeting of the Society Of Advanced
Woman Thinkers she wears a costume
so severe that it savors strongly of the
masculine, yet that very afternoon she
rushes home, effects a quick change
and appears at the Van Sutphens' aft
ernoon tea in a creation Of most friv-
olous chiffons. Now, did you ever see
such a contradiction
''Why, nor exclaimed. "She is the
adaptable woman, the woman who Is
born to be the delight of her husband
and Of society at large. She is the wo-
man who will never offend you by in
dulging in a different frame of mind
from your own.
'It is certain that she will never be
straitlaced in Bohemia or Bohemian in
the salons OF Mrs. Grundy. When she
goes to strange country, she will al
most instantly adapt herself to its
ways and customs. When her husband
loses her fortune, she will look as at
tractive in print gowns as she did in
brocade ones, and she will do her
housCwork with the same grace with
which she received her guests at din
ner parties.
"When by chance she has to do with
inferior people, she Will come down to
their own level in talking to them, and
when she has dealings with individuals
who are her superiors In life she will
raise herself to meet them. In other
words, the adaptable woman is all
things to all people"
But Maisie shook her head disap-
proyingly. She herself Is not an adapt
able woman.

Creasing or decreasing its volume or as
reducing the length of haul by horses
| and wagons and changing its direction.
Practically all of these railways par
allel important highways between the
principal cities and towns. Many Of
them have franchises from the state
granting the right Of construction and
operation directly on the public high
ways, while others own part of them in
the shape of purchased rights of way.
The cars on these lines transport pas
sengcrs from town to town or between
the points on the road as comfortably,
more cheaply and almost as quickly as
the steam cars between stations and
far more quickly and agreeably than
the trip, long or short, can be made by
horse and buggy or wagon. 1t seems
obvious, therefore, that the electric
roads will tend to reduce the light pas
sengcr travel along the wagon roads
which they parallel
But the traction companies are not by
any means content with passenger bust
ness alone. They have already embark
ed in the express and light freighting
traffic, despite the legal obstacles which
are being thrown in their way by the
