WHY WOMEN ARE LATE.
Scene in sqlIbob Household Explains
 the Sex's Tardiness.

From the New York Sun.
 Its just o'clock" said Squilbob, "and so you have plenty of time to dress your self carefully for the theatre. With this margin of time, Henrietta, you can surely have no excuse for being unprepared at the last moment, trait wholly confined to your sex.'
 "Yes, dear, I'll start dressing right now" said his helpmeet dutifully.
 And 1 myself will show you a good example In promptness,'' said Squilbob, kindly. "Ill start right in now myself. By the way, where are my shirts?"
 Here they are.'
 Put the shirt studs in it, will you? And, er-by the way, this dress suit is rather rumpled. I must have tossed it around In the drawer. You are rather handy at those things ,-@I1enrietta-cant you press it into some sort of shape?'
 All right, dear
 And, while you are at it, fix the pearls in my shirt front. Gingerl I wish you'd chase up my cuff buttons'
 Mrs Squilbob flew around with delft and willing hands, gathering the masculine apparel together while Squilbob calmly dressed himself in the intervals of his rapid-fire directions. Got my top hat?'' he asked. Good Now please fix my necktie nd--why-er-er-"
 Squilbob gasped in surprise, looked at the clock hands, which pointed to 8, and then surveyed the Hurried little woman.
 "Gingeri" he said In fine seorn aren't you dressed yet? Well, if that isn't just like a woman!

He was prolific reader, a great student and keenly alive to all questions of the hour. MT. James R. Mellon said, after meeting Mir. Sea- man in Paris: T understood Nellie By married an old helpless man, but MT. Seaman is one of the smartest, keenest, most intellectual men l have ever met" ]"
 Reputed to be a man of wealth at the time of his marriage, Robert Seaman owed his latest years of comfort to the untiring labor of his young wife Un- wise speculation and the intriguing dis honesty of those nearest him had under mined and consumed his fortune until only the shell remained, and although the world still thought Robert Seaman a man of millions. Nellie By knew the true condition of affairs at the time of their marriage.
 Two years after the wedding he gave her all he had left-a mortgage-covered, tumbled-down factory, with an tiquated machinery and primitive methods of man- ufacturing. Laboring night and day, Nellie Bly, unaided and alone, performed miracles, saved the business from bank ruptcy, paid off it's debts and made it a prosperous. self-sustaining, valuable cor poration. Nellie's By sound judgment. untiring effort, closest economy every where, cutting off his big salaried people. introduction of labor-saving devices and day and night work accomplished what seemed impossible.
 In the summers Robert Seaman and Nellie Blys family went to the noun tains, but Nellie remained in New York hard at work. In the winters MT. Sea- man and the family went south while Nellie kept steadily at work. It was this energy and effort of the wife which al- lowed Robert Seaman to spend his last days in comfort and luxury.
 In appearance Nellie Bly is still Nellie Bly-quiet, modest and unassuming. For five years she has been in deep mourn

 As a Business Woman.
 She has altered and changed the fac tory until it has no resemblance to the plant she took charge of five years ago. Besides this, Nellie By has made many inventions. and taken out many patents. As she was about the only woman in her original line of journalism, she is the same in her line today a line seemingly quite foreign to women. Her factory makes steel barrels for the transporta- ton of oil and acids; steel boilers for houses, steel tanks for soda fountains, galvanized tubs and buckets and ash cans; steel milk cans and enameled kitch- en ware. When she first took hold of the business, then tottering on the verge of bankruptcy. she was greeted with distrust and suspicion on every side.
 But today even her business enemies grudgingly admit her success. At home, among her family, with whom she still lives at 15 West Thirty seventh street, she is the same quiet Nellie Bly she al- ways was. She does not care for money or display, and never spends much upon herself, but is liberal and thoughtful for those who depend upon her. She will not allow herself to be interviewed, and all though constantly receiving tempting of- fers, even from Paris. where the fame of her work in the business world has travelled, she refuses to write for the press. Though her experimental work among the poor and outcast would make columns of beneficial information, she refuses to talk on the subject.

 As a curative agent, however, the mo- tor has a peculiar value, in certain ab- normal conditions of the nervous system more especially. In cases of nervous de- pression the exhlliration induced by run in motor car is most beneficial; the cir culation Is improved; the blood purified by the more rapid respiration of fresh air; and even In cases of pronounced in- somnia regular and refreshing sleep Is obtained.

Story of Andaman Island Marriage.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 The day was warm for March. The sailor sat in an ice cream saloon eating ice cream and lady cake.
 "rhe aueerest marriage ever seen, miss" he said, was in the Andaman islands But maybe you ain't interested in marriages?"
 He laughed, as men always laugh over this joke, and the pretty waitress permit ted herself to smile.
 "The islanders in them islands" he said, lis dwarfs. Four feet, on the aver age. Very fierce and ugly"
 If a young islander wants a girl for his wife he asks her parents for her They never refuse. They take the girl and hide her in the forest There the lad must find her before morning. If he finds her she is his. If he don't she ain't.
 of course, I don't need to tell you | that if the girl wants the young feller she sees to 1t that he finds her all right.
 And vice versa.
 Here is how the marriage ceremony is performed. The lad climbs up a slim young tree and the girl climbs up an- other close to him. Her clothes don't

Her Salary Was Meaeer.

Her Salary was Meager. She immediately left her home and came to Pittsburg, where, by accident, she found employment on the press. She started at salary of $5 week, and be- fore she married she reached year In which she earned $25OOO.
 Perhaps her most notable achievements in journalistic work before she went to New York were made while she was on
 the staff of the Pittsburg Dispatch. Even vet, whenever her name is mentioned, thousands of her friends and admirers at once connect her with Pittsburg' s leading newspaper.
 In spite of the fact that no name was
 better known in journalistic work. Nellie
 By was known personally to very few.
 In the office of the New York newspaper
 for which she wrote she was known only
 by the few superiors, and she had a pri-
 vate office in the building, and only vis- ited the main office to turn in her work or to consult with the managing editor. | Her life was spent entirely with her family, to whom she was devotedly at tached, and to her work. Society she de- tested, and lion hunters who bothered her she abhorred. She was very shy, wretch | edly sensitive, painfully truthful, and ab- solutely ignorant of fear. She made few
 close intimate friends, but to those few she was devoted. But, like all who win success, she made enemies. Those she exposed; those that feared her, and those that envied her, filled the ranks of her enemies, while the better part of the world were her friends and admirers. Writers in Pittsburg remember Nellie By as a slip of a girl, weighing about eighty pounds; attired in short dresses
 and wearing dark hair hanging down her
 back She had red cheeks, big, honest
 eyes, and showed the refined, gentle man
 ners of the true-blue. She was always
 spoken of as the little lady" and her
 success did not change her in the least.
 Modest to a degree. she had the most
 simple tastes. and devotedly spent all she made upon her family, her mother, sister, brothers, nieces, cousins and aunts
 whom she supported and with whom she
 lived.
 Ten years ago, and while at the height
 of her success, Nellie By suddenly re-
 nounced newspaper work and married
 Robert Seaman of New York, a man
 many years her senior. MT. Seaman was remarkable in mind and person, an1 though past his seventieth year, enjoyed perfect health. In fact, he had never been sick, and in looks seemed not over 45. He was a decidedly handsome man. almost six feet high. black-eyed, and though his hair was white. his complex ion was the pink of healthy baby He
