The modern woman has turned her

Is the chief Of sinners Her insane exr
travagance has inoculated English
women, who vainly try to outstrlp the
peripatetic oil queen who trails her
skirts over Europe every autumn. The
American woman regards her husband
as a money making machine. He ex.
lists simply to supply her with tho
means o. making other women sick
with envy She faunts In European
hotels while her husband is Saving At

ed all the old fashioned womaaly viz.
tues of self-sacrifice, tenderness, COM

cold, cynical and selfish. The Ameri.
can husband is the most patient and
