FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

How many jewellers in fiat houses know
that there is a code Of manners for them
10 observe. code as important as that
which governs polite society In pubHc9
Does not the average family live as in
dependently in rooms surrounded by men,
women, and children as II they occupied
whole house set in extensive grounds2
And the partitions are so thin, too.
There Is no denying the advantages OF
fat living for those who lead business
Ives and must be spared unnecessary
work at home. The heating care Of
halls and stairs. and the fuel fos the
kitchen range are looked after By the
landlord as well as the ashes reuioved
each day after the fires are dumped The
sidewalks may be slippery. but nobody
can blame the tenants. and one foot OF
snow or drifts 10 the sills are matters OF
equal Indifference. because the property
owner is responsible for its removal.
But the uncomfortable proximity OF
noisy neighbors is something 10 reckon
with. You belong to the quiet. early
retiring class and the family over your
head keep late hours and eutertains
literally They play games. pound the
piano. and sing popular songs while you
try 10 sleep. and II your vexation reaches
the point OF protesting you establish IN
pleasant relations which last as long as
you both live in the house II the family
IS indicative you VIII have a score OF
new annoyances thrust upon you.
I have tried il and am speaking from
experience. Ny first housekeeping was
done In a convenient suite. the only dis
comfort of which was contributed by the
family over us. The man was addicted
TO evening entertainment away from home
and after his return there was no more
sleep TIL the pair had exhausted them
selves in qUarreling. Twice I returned
10 find the fire department investigating
an alarm Of fire rung in by somebody
who had been attracted by the cries and
acts Of the two boys OF the family. who
amused themselves when their mother
left home Tor a few hours
I changed my home 20 house occupied
by so-caIled quiet families. with only one
child in the place-an infant The agent
neglected to tell me that piano fiend
had driven out every family that tried
TO live in that suite aad as she was away
on a visit I never knew the menace to
my place till 1 was wholly settled in what
I believed 10 be an ideal home. I held
on 10 my rebellious nerves for two win
ters. my five months sojOurn at the sea-
shore relieving the strain somewhat. But

none the less binding laws OF places OF

ton problem. This government OF ours
was founded upon tho great principle Of
Individual responsibility, and It's prime OBJ
.iect was to develop individualism. But
the tendency OF the age Is to shift the
responsibility of the individuals upon the
organization of which he forms II part.
We must get back to first principles,
ana the sooner the better. A corporation
IS nothing but an organization Of indI-
viduals. Individuals are responsible for
its management, and each and every
such individual must be held to personal
account and punished as an individual
for his shortcomings
