The correspondent states that the
Russian foreign Office now thinks 1t
likely that the question of the time for
tie meeting must be settled before the
nj mber of plenipotentiaries is consid-
cred. Should Japan, as now seems
likely, demand that she be granted op-
portunity to send representatives from
Japan, 1t Is thought that the meeting
rust necessarily be delayed at least
two months. Because of this lapse of
time 1t is felt that there can be no
armistice and that the armies in Man
churia will continue to fight until the
peace plenipotentiaries meet. The Rus
sian foreign Office believes that there
will be three representatives from each
side, and is making its plans accord

The American Husband j..

The American man is more consist
emily considerable of and generous to
women than any fellow on earth. and
in no country does he get sharper snub-
bling for his pains. The handling of
husbands by wives in America amounts
to an art, a profession, almost a sci
ence. Based on the theory that the
more one has to do the more one can
accomplish. ladies who have hard
working, enterprising spouses simply
retire from active life. If he man
ages his office and business satisfac
and servants? What is known as "a
good husband" in the United States
Is first class, nontiring money max
ing machine, who gives everything,
asks nothing and brags ceaselessly Of
his wife's projections. Should he pre-
sumo to criticise charred chop or a
fiat souffie or complain at the size Of
the Diapers bills he is set down as a
brute, and the wife is pitied as first
class martyr. For such sins as the
above two men of my acquaintance
were forced to live in hotels a year at
a time. They had committed the crime
of finding fault with the impeccable
sex and We're reduced TO subsection by
