cubans Must Wait For Wives.

Sonora Amalia NJ. Ybor de Garcia
Velez, wife of the Cuban minister to
this country, is passing the summer
with her husband and children at
Manchester, on the north shore of the
old Bay State. In talk the other day
about Cuban girls she said: "Our girls
do not grow up as quickly as they
used to. They are beginning to go
away to boarding schools and to the
United States to college. The two
daughters of our president, for in
stance, are in school in New York.
Cuban women now are not in such a
hurry to marry. Our men? All, they
do not like it. But they want their
women to be as well trained as the
women of the United States. They
are even willing to wait for wife
who can be their intellectual mate. It
should be that way in every marriage.

First Woman Probate JUDGE.

Mrs. Mary e. Cooper of Mitchell
county, Kan, is probate judge Of her
county and is, it is believed, the first
woman in this country to occupy such
position. The Office was held by her
husband, who died soon after his cleo
ton. Governor Hoch Che was gov
ernor at the time), appointed the
widow to succeed. Some of the old
heads thought it was bad precedent,
and so it has proved for the men, be-
cause the women of the state are now
seeking many of the offices in the
state, especially the office OF probate
Judge. There are more women candi-
dates for Offices in Kansas than at any
time in the history of the state.

nATGENTLY enough the family
ES had endured Frank Framely'S
= fads until he became vege-
tartan. An overindugcnce in
turkey ut the Thanksgiving feast had
been followed by fasting, repentance
and the adoption of the vegetarian
cult. Steaks gave place to salads and
lamb to lentlS, wherefore the spare
pennies of the Framely youngsters
Were invested in ham sandwiches and
smoked beef instead of cake and
candy.
1t had been bad enough when Frame
ly had adopted the thorough mastica-
tion fad ana the entire family had sol
emnly chewed its food to the loud
click Of the metronome. 1t had been
worse when all hands slept in a tent in
the back yard because Framely had a
cold and feared consumption, but even
with an approved vegetarian Kitchen
within half mile it was difficult to
give variety TO the menu with only
vegetables as a foundation.

Mrs. Framely the younger shrank
from an explanation and, with the
statement that things only needed to
be warmed up, thrust the matter aside
When her husband came in from
church with the children she slipped
out to put things on the table. When
the family came into the dining room
she supposed, of course, that her hus-
band had explained and so made no
comment when the old lady set aside
her thick vegetable soup with the com
ment that she never did like those new
tangled soups.
But when the turkey was brought in
and set upon the table the old lady
frightened up.

this outbreak, and toward afternoon
the mock turkey made its appearance
1t resembled gigantic candy favor in
shape and color. The tinting of the
outside had been rudely done and by
no means suggested the cracking skin
of the barnyard king bursting from the
pressure of the rich juices within. Sad
ly Mrs. Framely shook her head as she
showed the bird into the icebox along
with the rest of the packages which
the wagon had brought and busted her
self with converting some meatless
"mince meat" into pies.
Christmas day dawned somberly
