When at Marlborough house the other day
King George v. invested Thomas Hardy with the
order of merit the act was not perfunctory or
inspired by political influence; it was sincere
tribute of admiration from reader to fayorite

esteem and is said to be familiar with them ALL
There is no indication at the present moment
that the reign of George v. will be remembered
especially for its contribution to literature, as

The opinion prevails that the appointment of
WI Ting Fang to be councillor to the foreign
office Will secure to his country sagacity, knowl

sense of justice in dealing with other nations
Here he strove to keep China and the United

WOMAN SEEKS TO NANfE A
HUSBANDS SUCCESSOR

For the first time in Georgia poll
tics woman has announced her de-
sire to select a congressman. She is
Mrs. Griggs widow of Representative:
J. M. Griggs, who died recently.
AS soon as the governor called an
election Mrs. Griggs called a. confer
ence of friends announcing that she.
wished H:sH. Mcintosh to succeed her
husband 81 .s &. =.3 S.. $ss}}3s
Mcintosh will probably make the
race at her request. Mrs. Griggs' ac-
ton, it is said, was taken because Of
her knowledge Of her husbands un-
finished plans. She says Mcintosh is
the man best fitted to complete them.
b Is there not, however. one person
better fitted than Mcintosh to. work
out the dead congressman's plans
namely, Mrs. Griggs herself, who has
evidently followed them =, with the
keenest interest and Intelligence? Can
anything more unfair or absurd be
imagined than laws which render it
impossible for this pub1ic-spir
woman to continue her husbands
work herself? Surely this incident is

WOMEN SUFFER MOST s.<.
FROM DOMESTIC Toll,

DR.. Woods Hutchinson presents
some interesting comparisons between
the health of women working outside
the home and those working In it. r.
"Every gainful occupation in which
woman is employed in the United
States" he says, Shows lower NOR
tality than that of the total number
of females for the same age period,
with the single exception Of domestic
servants. The contrast between the
women who work outside of the home
and those who work inside the home
is appalling. The general average fec
the two classes is S.3 per thousand at
all ages, and Ill per thousand for
domestic servants The home and
the farm have become now practically
the only places where women can be
habitually and persistently :: over
worked, overstrained and underfed,
without the interference of the law.

MORE is EXPECTED .
FROM GIRL IN HOME
Than FROM THE BOY

Why are the wages of a girl living
at home SO often considered to be en-
tirely the legitimate property of the
household in general?
A boy turns in a fair amount as
recompense for his board and lodg-
ings, but, no matter how poor the
household, he keeps something for
himself. With this he does absolutely
as he pleases. He may indulge any
little foollshness, and so gain valuable
lessons. he may be prudent and make
profit by his miniature investments;
but the exercise of wisdom and folly
in the matter of spending are open to
him. .r~
His mother never dreams of APP
peallng to him when the drawing
room curtains refuse to bear the bur-
den of existence any longer, or the
kitchen hearthrug. has been borne
away by the dust man. Neither does
she expect him to provide all the ct
ceteras< of his wardrobe, or to Guilt
vate the petty habit of pleasing all his
relatives by remembering their BIRTH
days.
All these things are expected
from a girl, and; as a rule, she gives
them as ungrudgingly as, in many
cases she, gives her leisure hours to
making things comfortable at home.
! The UNFOLDING of familys social
prestige is always laid on it's women
members, and a girl is often driven
to Keeping up an appearance beyond
that which her income can comfort
ably support, while her careless
brother reaps the social benefits,
which arise from her struggling re-
fnements. If the details Of her
dress, is shabby she is condemned as
a '.sloven. He, for the same sins, ii
sympathized WITH Poor fellow" says
gossip, "he's always hard up, and SO
shabby; his mothers and sisters don't
seem to look after him at ALL"
me nome economies and scrapiilg
to which almost all womankind is
driven are additionally explained and
excused by the theory that on ali
tarlngs-forth in search Of festivity the
men do all the paying, but in the
modern instance OF the houseful of
Wage-earning boys and girls the
theory has become obsolete.
More and more are girls paying
may manfully hand out the cab fares
and tip the waiter, but in how
many cases is there not a settling Of
accounts to follow? Not many. if
those cases are excepted where the
girls have arranged the finances be-
fore the expedition could be UNDER
taken. .''
Many mothers will protest that
their girls are literally treated in the
way of spending money; but it's pos
session is seldom absolute.
