So a Week Content Is Mystery.

Dear LeOnore CaIvert-A wife who
can be happy and contented on salary
of S. a week is a mystery to more than
one good housekeePer. I know by my
own experience it cannot be done; and
advising any girl to take such a step on
such g beggarly income is worse than
ridiculous, and IS not proper advice at
all. Considering the cost OF living IN
these days, when everything is soaring.
il certainly stands to reason one must
have a sufficient income to meet the de-
mandS. Furthermore, II the truth were
known. more than one married couple
that boasts OF living so grandly on al
most nothing are receiving help from
their people in order 20 keep them on
their feet. but somehow or other this IS
never mentioned-it seems as though
they are ashamed to let anyone know
they are compelled TO receive help. And
now T wish TO speak IN regard 10 my
self. 7 am a thorough housekeeper and
know exactly where every cent OF my
money goes. / am managing a house for
FIVE adults. and know whereof ! speak.
Not one cent do 7 spend fOOlishly and
IL takes exactly S9.JO for food alone, to
say nothing OF the other expenses.
Thus anyone can readily see that living
eNpel ses amount TO over S a week

There are views and views OF this

pleasure must ever be one OF con-
science.
The idea Of the bishops, it is said.
is to begging a spiritual warfare
against what they believe to be un-
desirable pleasures.
In reference to the feeling in dis
tricts. it is widely divergent. The con-
ferences of the Western part of the
country. which include large rural dis
tricts. wish no change, while others
more densely populated and thrown
into closer contact with what are
known as worldly amusements, take a
broader view of the subject. as was
the case with the New York Confer
ence. which voted for modification
The paragraph which is to form the
shuttlecock Of discussion in one of the

ENTHUSIASTIC
YACHTSMAN HERE

Among the passengers who came to
Honolulu on the bark R. P. Rithet was
"a very enthusiastic yachtsman from
Los Angeles. Robert Fulton is one of
those water dogs who cannot keep away
from the water for very long at a time
and, as the yachting season at San
Pedro was about over, he thought he
would jump aboard a sailing vessel and
take little voyage to Honolulu.
Mr.. Fulton has been member of the
South Coast Yacht Club since its early
days and has been one of the most
consistent sailors in the club. He was
one of the famous crew of the Mischief
II. that came through with fourteen
frsts out of sixteen races in one sea
SON. The two races that were lost were
neither run on ordinary handicaps. One
was the final race of the season in
which an arbitrary handicap was i'm
posed and the other long distance race
in which the yachts ran into a gale
and the Mischief II. suffered damages
that effectually put her out of the race.
Mr.. Fulton was also member of the
crew of the Valkyrie that raced in San
Francisco bay for the interclub chal-
lenge cup and, while the Southern yacht
had no chance in the stormy waters OF
the Northern bay, all the San Francisco
yachtsmen took their hats off to the
crew for the way in which their tiny
craft was handled
He will stay in Honolulu for a few
days, long enough to do little surfing
and visiting with his many friends here
and then will return to Los Angeles
where his business interests prevent
longer stay.

RAPID TRANSIT
SOCCER TEAM

Employees of the Rapid Transit COM
pany are figuring on starting soccer
team. A committee has been appoint
ed to hustle up some players and find
out how many will come into the game.
This is a very good move and de-
serves the best of success. Amongst
the motormen and conductors on the
line there are numbers of likely looking
athletes who should be able to put up
a fine game whether they know it or
not and, judging by the accents OF
some of them, there are others who
have learned the game at home and
will be able to put the tyros wise.
Every encouragement should be Civ
en- to this movement as it can have
none but a good effect in every way
and it is to be hoped that we shall soon
see eleven husky Transit boys dis
porting themselves in that good old
game of soccer.
