riage didn't pay"
The same thought persisted in Gene
vieve's mind for week. Whenever she
went out to an afternoon social gath
ering, only the bachelor maids
seemed to be free to enjoy themselves.
They talked about parties and flowers
and drives and picnics; but the others
discussed the trials of married life, the
difficulties of getting help, the unappre-
ciativeness of men in general, and GER
tain husbands In particular, and the
awful drudgery involved in keeping a
house. Genevieve had not as vet
reached the point Of taking part in
these discussions she still kept I'D
what she bitterly called to herself 1.-THE
fiction" of being a happy bride But
when she thought OF the years stretch
ing before her, laden with this awful
burden of drudgery that apparently
oppressed every woman with a home
to look after, she wanted to scream.
How could she ever stand it? How
could she give up all her dreams of
happiness with Burton? They had
planned to read together, she was to
keep up her music and play and sing
for him; they had talked of rides and
walks in the summer to come. when
they were to be always together
But even now she was too tired.

to sleep in five minutes if Burton tried
to read to her. She hadn't found a

Rufs for short NecIxs.

Surely every article in the realm Of
fashion may be so modified that it will
be becoming to almost every woman.
For instance, the lovely neck rufus,
that were the despair of the short
necked woman, are now fashioned in
a way that she may not only wear one,
but find that it suits her. In the front
from ear to ear the ruff is quite plain
of fur, perhaps, while the back portion
is augmented by the conventional ruff
fling or frilling, bow in the back be-
ing the finish.

Low Sewing Chair.

A woman who sews a great deal OF
the time has found that her back does
not become so tired if her chair is
low, or if she has a stool upon which
to rest her feet. It is surprising what
a difference the comfortable position
makes and how much more work she
can do.
Should the arms become weary, she
puts a cushion in her lap. On this
she rests her elbows, changing the posi-
ton of her sewing, thus giving both
arms and eyes a chance to recover.

boiling 200 Egg at Once.

If one would be familiar with all the
latest electrical novelties, he must
make a tour of the kitchen OF a big
Atlantic liner The automatic egg
boilers. like those on, the Lusitania and
Mauretania, are able to cook 200 eggs
at once, a clock arrangement causing
the basket containing the eggs to hop
out of the water at any half minute up
to six minutes Another novelty is a
self-dumping oyster cooker for Stews
At the expiration OF a given time the
cooker pours its contents into soup
plate and automatically shuts off the
electricity.

This is one mad, merry vacation

This Is due to the fact that there are

long enough to look over their early

an hour or two.

OBJECT TO PAYING
FOR SEWER TWICE
PlC0 HEIGHTS RESIDENTS TO
PROTEST
VIII Demand of Council That Pro-
ceedlnes for Construction Of Storm
Drain Under Bond Act Be
Abandoned

Following the example of the proper
ty owners included in the Monte Vista
storm sewer district, property owners
in the Pico Heights storm sewer district
will appear before the council at its
meeting this morning and demand that
proceedings for constructing the Plco
sewer under the bond act be aban-
doned.
While the amount that would be as
sessed against each lot, IL this storm
sewer is built, would be comparatively
small, amounting in most cases only 10
about Sc for a 50-foot lot, property
owners believe there is principle at
stake and they declare they are tlght-
ing for this principle rather than tor d
few measly dollars.
The trouble is that several years ago
bonds were voted to build storm
sewer system throughout the city. A
portion of this system was constructed,
but some of the money had to be placed
to the credit of the outfa1 sewer ana
there was not enough left to complete
the system. In order to make the
system complete the board of public
works instituted proceedings, after
second bond election had failed to car
ry, to build storm sewers by the Vroo-
man act.
object to Paying Twice
1t Is this feature to which property
owners object. They declare that II
ali the storm sewers had been built by
the district plan they would willingly
pay their share Of the cost in their own
district; but as some were built by
bonds, which they helped pay for, they
do not believe it is fair to ask them TO
bear the entire burden Of the sewers in
their districts.
Not only will the Pico Heights sewer
come UP for consideration, but there
will be big protest against the Ala
media storm drain as well, and TINS
Will probably be abandoned. The board
of public works will ask the council to
define a policy on these storm drains;
The board wants to know If the council
intends to knock out proceedings begun
for all storm drains under the Vroo,,
man act. If it does, then the board
viii not institute any more such pro-
oeedings, as it costs about $1,000 to
bring a big district up to the place
where property owners have the right
NJ protest, and If the proceedings are
abandoned all this money is wasted.
