What Women Spend.

American women may be the great
&c, snenders in the world for dress, if
thew have the money. and various es-
Inmates have been given to show how
much a woman needs year to dress
on. These vary all the way from a
few dollars up to many thousands. But
fact not we'll known is that ninety
per cent Of the American women spend
less than $50 a year for their dress, in
Guiding all kinds Of clothing.
Then too we may have wrong idea
as to her extravaganza in household
matters. 1t is a fact worth mention
ing that 80 per cent of the American
housewives employ no servant what
ever, and of the other Is per cent not
half Of them employ more than one
servant
In conducting her household expen-
ditures the American women spends q
little more than in any other nation
but that may be due to the higher cos
Of goods here. The average American
women spends for food here $50 ;
year; a Frenchwoman $48, a German
S45, Russian $40, Spanish 1888
an Italian S24. Altogether it NAV ap
pear from these facts that the Amer
can woman as a whole is not so ex
travagant helpmate as many people
seem to suppose. Washington Star.

MANY MARRY BY CONTRACT.
New York Law Enacted Three Years
Ago Leads OF 5000 Such Unions.

New York-Marriage by contract
are becoming popular in Gotham.
Since the law providing for this kind
of marriage became operative three
years ago there have been filed in the
city clerks Office almost 5000 Such
contracts. Marriage by contract is
simple legal procedure. Two persons
desiring to be married go to lawyer
or any other person qualified to draw
up a contract or apply to the city or
county clerks Office for the regular
blank form, having the contract drawn
up or fill out the form and then go be-
fore a notary public, justice of the
peace commissioner of deeds or any
other officer with legal authority and
there the contract is acknowledged.
That ends it.
The contract may be filed with the
city clerk or it may not The law
does not require that it be filed; it
only entities it to be fl1ed. On that
point the law is lax and efforts are
being made to have the law changed
so that it shall require the notary or
whoever takes the acknowledgment of
the contract to file it with the clerk of
the city within ten days or be subject
to penalty. The law requires a cler-
gyman to file with the bureau of vital
statistics all certificates of marriages
performed by him within ten days
after the ceremony.
The marriage contract is not with.
out other weaknesses. 1t is true that
if husband and wife agree to disagree
or one forsakes the other so long as
the contract can be produced in evil
dence of their first agreement or wit
nesses can be obtained to the signing
Of the contract of agreement remains
in legal force. But if the contract has
not been filed with the clerk or has
been lost or destroyed and no wit
nesses to the contract can be produced
and one of the parties to the contract
desires it abrogated there seems to be
no redress for the victim.

RAISES LEMONS IN IOWA.
Farmers Wife Has Bearing Trees
Growing in Her Garden.

Bussey, Ia.-Not only does the Iowa
farmers wife produce the fruit with
which to make her pumpkin and go1Sc-
berry pies, but Mrs. B. T, Little wife
of a prosperous farmer living near
Bussey, has succeeded in producing
the lemons with which she will manu-
facture her lemon pies for Thanksgiv-
ing
That this particular variety of cit
rus fruit may be cultivated with some
success in such varied climate as
Iowa offers has been demonstrated by
Mrs. Little.
She has half a dozen lemon trees
growing in her garden. They have
all produced fruit this year. Some of
the lemons are of enormous size show
ing that the Iowa soil is full of the
substance necessary to the production
of lemon pies.
rlpened on the trees cultivated by Mrs
Little are II, 1919 and 10H inches in
circumference, and will weigh nearly
one pound each.
Mrs. Little declares they will make
the finest lemon pies in the state, and
that she has made five to seven pies
from one of her immense lemons. The
lemons are perfect in shape and color,
having ripened evenly, and seem to be
full of juice of uneuualed flavor.
