That the will Of Thomas Smell. the &c.

The decision sets aside the opinion of'the
Dewitt County Circuit Court on the con.
test brought by Richard Smell. son Of the
deceased. and Mabel Smell Mcnamara Is
to get the share of the estate bcqueathed
her by the will. Not only does the SUI

lower court. but IL leaves no peg upon
which the contestants may hang another
case. IL IL held by the court that be-
cause n man has relations with u woman
which might be deemed improper 1t does
not affect his ability to make a will. and
that the point ut issue is moral one and
not one which would be material in this
case. Several million dollars were at
stake in the case. The aged millionaire
cut off his son Richard with $50 and al
lowed Mabel Smell Mcnamara of Kansas
City a life annuity II was contended
that Smell was. of unsound mind and had
been Influenced unduly in making his will.
Sensational letters were produced TO IL

The Supreme Court says there Is not an
iota of evidence on which to base the
verdict that Smell was insane when he
made the will or its codicis. There is no
evidence. IL Is asserted. that Mabel Me-
Namara in any way influenced the will
or its contents. or that she ever said q
word to him or wrote to him about It,
Considering the size of the estate her

THE work of the stenographer is
broadening, liberating, that of the wife
narrowing and combining. The stenog-

coming in contact with new people
constantly mixing in affairs of inter

occupation. The wife stays at home
with servants and children, her life
rotating in a limited orbit Of petty
domestic concern and duties. She has
no time for reading, study or recrea-
ton. And what is her economical ap-
preciation@ The stenographer has a
salary to which her right is undisputed.
The wife has only so much as her
husband sees fit to dole out to her. 1t
is true that many women have an al
lowance, but what does that mean? 1t
means that after the husband and wife
have carefully estimated the expenses
of the household to the last penny,
the servants wages, of food and cloth
ing for the wife and chilrden, and all
the regular cost of the domestic es-
tabishment. sum of money covering
these expenses, and no more, is put
in the bank monthly to her credit. and
she is permitted to sign the checks to
pay the bills and run the house. For
She has no Independent income to do
with as she pleases for the expendi-
ture of every penny of her allowance
is determined for her and she must
scrimp, and save, and figure in order
to live within it.

unending service, this work of hand
and heart and brain. the wife is an
unconsidered economic factor and Of
ten ignored by her husband except in
her special function of mother and

complained because her husband did
not make a companion nor confdant
of her, and because the conditions of
her life barred her from seeking SYM
pathy and understanding elsewhere.
She loved her child. but it was not
enough for her to be a mother. She
wanted also to be a wife, loved, ap-

feel that she was necessary to her
husbands happiness, not merely
nurse maid for his children and the

which he kept up in order to impress
and entertain business acquaintance"
