pieces considerably larger than the
foundation, and having scallops and
eyelet holes around the edges.
The piece for the top of the pillow
has the design stamped upon it, while
the underpiece has only the scallops
and eyelets. These pieces are laced to-
gether around the pillow by colored
ribbon run through the eyelets, and
tied in a bow at one side. A ruffle is
formed by the scalloped edges

Elizabeth Cady Stanton tells in her
autobiography how as a child she used
to sit in her fathers law office and lis
ten to the Scotch widows of that neigh
borhood tell him their property trou-
bles, arising from the fact that the
whole property descended to the son,
and the mother was made dependent
upon him, after working all her mar
ried life to help amass the property.
Years after Mrs. Stanton prepared the
first speech she was to make before
the New York Legislature. Her father,
who was not in sympathy with this
movement, sent for her to bring her
speech and read it to him. When she
had finished he sat silent for while
and then asked her where she, a wo-
man who had led a tenderly sheltered
life, had learned to know and feel the
things she had put in her speech.
Here, in your office" said she,
when as a child l listened to the COM
plants those women used to make to
you"
Times have changed so much since
| then that one of those curious develop
ments of modern commercial life is the
passing of great estates into the hands
of women. AS in the case of hereditary
thrones, women have become rulers of
countries in which they would not be
eligible to the meaEest office: so in the
business world the reins of power now
pass into the hands of women, who,
/ if they were employees in their own es-
Establishments, would not be paid as
much as the man who worked beside
them.
Mrs. Stanford with her gift of $780,
100000 and Hetty Green with her stocks
and bonds are the first who come to
mind. Then there is the Philadelphia
widow heiress, Mrs. Weightman Walk
er, who was left mistress of a chem
ical establishment employing $50, 900 900
! of capital. The steel works of which
Bertha Krupp is owner make a king
dom in themselves. More water is
needed to supply them than is used IN
the city of Dresden; more gas than is
consumed in Munich. one thousand
nine hundred and twenty-three rail-
road cars, forty-three locomotives, and
467 telephone stations are necessary to
transact the business of the plant. Four
thousand one hundred and ninety Off
ycials and 1929 wOrkmen work for Ber-
tha Krupp, who, with those dependent
on them make a city of some 10000
people,.
