How do we spend our time Why,
in admiring our husbands" replied the
wife of British Prime Minister to a
visiting Frenchman fifty years ago.
Jules Cambon. in a recent after-din-
ner speech, used the story in comparing
French and English women.
Our women do not only spend their
time admiring us" he boasted. They
also sustain and direct US through our
entire lives" And while he did not say
it, the thing is well known to foreign
ers in France. Frenchmen would sink
into innocuous desuetude We're il not

is the paradise of the incompetent and
lazy good-looker.
The peculiar cause of the phenomena
is the enormous proportion of moderate
but sufficient incomes from investment
that distinguish France from every
other country-eapital built up through
generations by systematic saving and
added to by marriages and Inherit

When Is a Man
Iwenty-One?
BY Professor John Wurts of Yale Law
school

1t is said that law is applied COM
mon sense. While il is true that law
principles originated in common sense,
the law itself is the combined expert
ence of many men; for no two men un-
instructed in law will agree as 10 what
is applied common sense.
Then there are many rules of law
which undoubtedly have a common
sense origin. but. conditions being
changed history fails to disclose this
origin. Yet these very rules must be
retained in order not to shake per-
sonal and property rights. Therefore.
no man can depend on his own un-
instructed common sense TO know the
law
To drive this statement home. l have
frequently put to an incoming law
class the question, When does an in
FAINT become of age2" The ansv er is
always unanimous, When he is twen-
ty-one years Old
The next question appears ridiculous
to some and makes them laugh. while
others set their alleged common sense
at work, and never with correct result
When is q man twenty-one years old -
One student says. "On his twenty
first birthday" but. of course. he does
not mean it, for he is about Il year out
of the way. Another ventures, "On the
twenty-first anniversary of his birth
day" This sounds better, but. even if
correct. is not specific enough When
he has completed his twenty-first an
niversary." AT the beginning of that
day; "On his twenty-first anniv~<sary.
at the precise hour of his BIRTH are
other answers.
And then l surprise the guesserS by
saying that they ars~ all wrong.
In computing time IL IS a general
rule that the law disregards part of a
day In applying this rule suppose
man was born just one minute before
midnight on January 2, 1880.
At midnight Nhe had lived but one
minute, yet the day on which he was
born was ended and the law considered
him one day old. So in computing the
twenty-one years which man must
live in order to reach his majority. we
do not begin with the moment of birth,
but with the commencement of the day
of his birth
Now. since we must start with the
first moment of January ?. 1880, it is
perhaps natural to say that this man
did not become twenty-one years old
until the close of january 1, 1901. Math-
ematicaIly speaking, this is true.
Twenty-one years in that sense re-
quires that the last moment of January
1. 1901, should have arrived in order to
make the man of age, and. obviously.
But here again the rule is applied.
AS the man was of age on the last
moment of January 1. the law disre-
CARDS the entire part of the day inter
vening between the first moment and
the last. and consequently he became in
law twenty-one years old on the first
moment of January l, 1901, the day pre-
ceding the twenty first anniversary of
his birthday
This rule is a part of what is known
as the common law and is applied in
this country in all States where the
common law of England has been
adopted and remains unchanged by
statute. A man may vote or make a
valid will on the day preceding the
twenty-first anniversary of his birth
day. although the right in the one case
and the capacity in the other is given
only to persons who have reached the
age of twenty-one years.

was the cigar store at which he was
also an old customer. But there was a
strange face behind the counter. The
dealer was i'll. and his substitute re-

there wasn't time, He galloped out
and made for a grocery next door.
They didn't know him there, but he
thought he might stand as good a
chance there as anywhere He did.
They would be glad TO cash a check If
some one would identify him. Armitage
bolted out again. He looked wildly
about the street for some other place
TO try. His tailor's was closed; there
was no time to rout out friends-it
was 9:35--it was all up. Miss Dali
rymple would have to buy the tickets.

porter at the Office. Brady's clothes
were OF the resplendent ill-htting sort
that the laborer usually dons for a
Sunday outing. In ordinary circum
stances Armtage would have given him

Brady by the hand and slapped him on
the shoulder.

gleefully. I'm delighted to see you.

Nothing Doing
for Armitage

It's great thing to have a bank ac-
count except on Sunday That's what
Dudley Armitage viii tell you if you
ask him about his experience in getting
down TO Palo Alto last Sunday morning.
Armitage takes pride in his bank
account and pays most of his bills by
check. Consequently he carries only a
small amount for car fare and ciga-
rettes and lunches with him. He used
to take pride too. in having lived in
one street for ten years, resisting the
uptown trend of things and being

north side of Jefferson Square. but the
fire forced him to move along with the

1t was weekend house party to
which Armitage had been asked, but

abandoned for time, so he had TO go
down Sunday morning. However, there
was compensation for that is the fact
that Miss Dalrymple. just back from
Honolulu, was going down on Sunday.

He wore his newest suit for the first
time since April IS and thought it's

changed the things in his pockets he
discovered that the money he had pru-

dinner he had had with his friend Par

had left was s1.3O.. But that didn't

with his trusty checkbook and set
forth.

so he could not ask her to cash a check
He decided to get the money at the
restaurant on Oak street where he had
been breakfasting for years. That
morning he was greeted by the pro-
prietor and walters with the accus-
toned cordiality. After a while tho
strolled by and smiled Al
Armitage again
BY the way" spoke UP Armitage.
I'm UNFORTUNATELY out of money this
morning. Would you mind cashing a
check for me?"
The smile faded from the proprietor's
face. Whose check is it?" he asked
coldly
It's mine" replied Armitage. I'm
sorry to bother you, but
The fact is" the proprietor's voice
was now like ice. Il can't cash checks
on Sunday morning. Not enough money
in the cash drawer" And the voice
went on.
With surprised and offended dignity
Armitage paid his bill. betook himself
from the restaurant, for the last time
