AN EARLY WOMAN LAWYER

A MONtI the most interesting treasures of
"A the British Museum are the clay tablets
of ancient Babylonia. These tablets, resem-
bling unglazed tiles, throw quaint lights and
shadows on the manners and customs of long
ago. Usually the records are fragmentary but
are occasionally fairly complete, is that of
legal proceedings instituted by woman OF
Borsippa," which action IS of particular inter
est as showing that married woman's prop
erty law was in force early as $50 B. c.
The proceedings to which the documents :"
refer were taken by a woman against her
brother in law to regain possession of property
left by her husband. The evidence showed
that man of Babylon had married the woman
from Borsippa, and with the money of her
dowry he had bought an estate. After a few
years. having no children of their own, they
adopted son, and shortly afterward the hus-
band mortgaged the estate. Later he died,
leaving the estate mortgaged and his brother
attempted to claim the property
The widow took the matter before the court
at Borsippa; but it was beyond the jurisdiction
of this court and was referred to the High Court
at Babylon Here the case was duly heard
and the Judges rendered decision to the effect
that, the property had been the husbands.
the widow could have it upon paying off the
mortgage. and that the brother had no claim
Eventually. the estate would be the property of
the adopted son. 1t is expressly stated, as
though a matter of some interest, that the
woman pleaded her own case in the High Court
of Babylon without assistance.

THE SCARLET THREAD

EVERYONE of the thousands of ropes used
II in the British naval service from the small
est heaving line to the largest hawser. whether
it be used on shipboard or in a dockyard, has
woven into one of its strands single red thread.
This practice has prevailed since the days of
Nelson.
Many romantic suggestions have been ad
vanced as reasons for this red thread but as
a matter of fact, the real reason is a simple and
practical one,-simply that it affords a sure
means of identification of royal property, and
if any rope containing the red thread is found
in unauthorized hands the presumption is that
it is improperly possessed. 1t is. of course. for
hidden that rope manufactured for private use
contain a similar red thread, as it is forbidden
that any paper in the United States contain
bits of silk such are placed in the paper from
which the national currency is made.

AN EVICTION MERRYMAKING

THE trials and tribulations of the large num-
L Der of clever young men and women who
are struggling for recognition as writers and
artists in New York city are lightened in con-
siderable degree by festivities in the studios
One young woman whose landlord was hard
hearted turned seamy situation into light
comedy. and saved expense by giving what she
called an eviction party. At about two IN
the morning, after a generous flow of soul and
punch she announced to her masculine guests
that it was time to labor. With much Joy each
of these became furniture mover. They bur-
dened themselves with chairs and tables and
bric-a-brac and trailed with their loads through
the silent streets toward the new studio. On
the way they rested in the middle of an avenue
placing the chairs round the tables on the
asphalt and resuming the social function. \
raising of windows began, and the sound of a
bell somewhere created an annoying fear that
patrol wagon might be coming round the
corner.
Thus it was that the soiree on the asphal.
was suddenly broken up. The window gazers,
wondering what this strange proceeding in the
night might mean probably did not realize that
they were viewing process in the land Of
Bohemia of laughing carking care out of coun-

WHEN STYLES CHANGE

CHARLES STRANG. who travels for a Chi
cago overall factory, was recently assigned
to new territory in Northwestern Iowa. While
preparing to go there he received letter from
a small town near Fort Dodge. The letter
said the writer had been informed that Strange
had been placed in charge of that territory and
that it was desired that an order for two hun
dred pairs of overalls be placed at once. The
letter was signed H. ]. Prince.
Strang accepted this advance order as an
earnest of big and ready sales in his new field
and he FASTENED to write Prince that he would
make it point to call there the first stop on
his trip and, just to please the prospective
cutomer, he sent out a pair of the very best
overalls the factory produced In closing cor
dial letter he referred to the overas and said
Wear these with my compliments"
A few days later he received another letter
from the customer. which read, Gift received
and appreciated. l cannot wear them how
ever, until the styles change Respectfully,

Happy Ending -Good Beginning

IF all issues of our SUNDAY MAGAZINE
= were as good as the last one of 1909,
we should feel a heap more satisfied
than we do. If we could feel sure that
every number during the coming year
would equal it. we shouldn't worry. Just
the same we are going to try to make each
one little bit better. When we don't
succeed, we'll try a little harder on the
successor. Anyway, it's happy ending
for good beginning.
nRINCES OF THE ATLANTIC" by
! William Lawton Curtin, is one of the
best articles we have ever printed, good
enough to be repeated now and then; for
it has in it more stuff than is ordinarily
found in half dozen articles. It's about
the Captains Of the big liners that run be-
tween Europe and America, and they are
wonderful men. No other human beings
have such great responsibilities, none is
more capable and none is SO underpaid
One short paragraph, showing how Cap
tain Pritchard maintained discipline on
the great Mauritania, is worth its weight
in gold to any man at the head of bust
ness machine. Captain Pritchard solved
very important problem, and he ex-
plains it in the homeliest, simplest way.
There are incidents of narrow escapes, of
great devotion, of unlimited resources
not fiction, but significant facts,-as well
as a wealth of personal information that
makes one feel he knows these truly great
men who do big things in the world. It's
the kind of article that provokes great ex-
pectations and then satisfies them. That
is about the highest praise.

GHORTY McCABE, in "A New Ticket
~ for Julia, tells one of a home cooking
wife who brought her elderly husband
back to the domestic fireside after he dis
played an inclination to be a tri1e gay.
Incidentally, it is fine illustration of
good construction in story, if you are in
terested in those things. If you are not,
you'll find it a pure delight anyway.
Shorty's part is that of mere narrator.
Being a real man, he ism t anxious to stand
in the limelight all the time.
THE HAPPIEST MOMENT" really ex-
l plains itself. William Johnston has
talked with real men who told him what
they thought made them happiest, and it
is Accordingly interesting. You see, they
are real stories, and they make you think
mighty we'll of your fellow beings, es-
pecially that one about man who is
grandfather, which will make your heart
glow and feel you must find him right
away. A woman has the last word, and
what she says will make you ponder a
long time.
A SON OF THE IMMORTALS is
I reaching the climacteric point, and
one can feel it very plainly. One hears
the mutterings of trouble everywhere.
That is what makes the next instalment
particularly effective.
A TEST OF SKILL" is one of Roy
4 = Norton's stories of the Captains
Three. and it is really the best of them all
so far in action, characterization, and
romantic interest.

For the first time in many years
there will be no public dance in Han
cock ON Thanksgiving eve, none of
the various local organizations having
arranged one for this date. The An
cient order of Hibernians have in the
past usually given their annual dance
on this date, but on account of the
fact that OF late years these events
have not been financially successful,
deficit resulting from each one instead
of a surplus, it was decided not to hold
one this year. There will be other
amusements provided, however. In
