1 went to a luncheon the other day.
There were eight women in the party
and I was the only one unmarried.
Being so very much in the minority
and feeling that was only very I'M
important spinster, 1 took little part
in the conversation.
But the rest of them talked Deary
me, but how they did talk!
What did they talk about? Babies
and servants and bridge"
I don't play bridge so I could only
simulate mild interest when that topic
came uppermost
But when they talked babies and ser
wants 1 was terribly interested.
+ Many of my friends and relatives
have babies and I've done my share in
looking after those babies. Therefore
I'm Interested when they talk about
their babies.
As for the servant problem, I'm also
very much interested in that, but not
in quite the way in which my friends
expect me to be.
In the average household they keep
but one servant and very often she is
expected to do more than her share of
the work
1 know that there are shiftless I'M
tidy girls who do not earn the money
paid them. That's one side of the ques-
ton
There are also intelligent, willing
girls who merely need a little system
and training TO become excellent ser
wants. If they find situations where
the work is done higgedly piggedly, one
thing crowding upon another, and the
mistress demands more than they can
properly accomplish, they develop into
slipshOd shirkers.
In the first place, when you take
young girl into your service you are
just as responsible for her moral and
physical welfare as though she were

her time off. what hours she keeps and

y Harry Jenkins was a brOnZed young
harvard man who spent the summer at
Silver Beach as a volunteer life saver.
Already Harry had rescued from the
raging waters a wOman's- hat, small
dog, a tin pail which a child had drop
ped from the pier, and a New Yorker
who had ventured out of his depth in
an effort to impress a ladyfren- So it
will be seen that the brOnzed young
harvard man had a natural aptitude for
the job. But in addition TO the vein Of
romance his avocatiOn showed to be in
his nature Harry possessed a shrewd-
ness that he must have inherited from
an old Scottish ancestor who. when on
the gallows, hesitated to accept the
pardon brought him by a rider, lest
there should be something to pay on ii.
So one day when the expected hap
pened and a beautsous young peach was
seen waving her arms outside the ropes.
Harry swan rapidly toward her.

then when you affix your signature I
will save you. Listen; it's quite short:
L hereby promise that 1 will not regard
myself as having any claims upon Harry
Jenkinss time or company because OF
his saving my life. and especially do
abjure all matrimonial claims"
And Harry proffered the paper and
an indelible pencil.
But / don't want to sign things IN

anyway. you ought TO save me first"
Sign, or I will call the men in that
boat and let them rescue you"
The threat was sufficient. To be
hauled awk wardly over the edge OF a
boat and rowed ashore would be humil-
iating in the eXtreme-the only way to
be saved is by brOnzed young man
who struggles ashore with one through
the breakers
So the peach signed. and when Harry
had tucked away the document IN q
waterproof purse he saved her in SEN
sational style.
The peach is to marry Harry IN the

father, who is a lawyer, that a promise
made under dureSs is not binding.

Z ONDON, Eng, July 1.-THE po-
litical war in Great Britain is
war between feudaliSm and
democracy and its tissue will be de-
termined by a great battle between
peers and people. The question of
what to do with the house of lords is
the most important political problem
in Britain today, since it includes and
comprises all other political problems
whatsoever. The house of lords rep
resents that tripartite alliance of the
landlords. the liquor interests and the
church which is the Tory party. 1t
tOlerates, for reasons of political expe-
diency, that element of whilom Lib
erals which opposes the Radical pro-
gram on account of a conviction that
England needs protective tariff. 1t
is the champion of the privileged as
against the unprivileged. and it will
fight to the bitter death in defense of
the remnants of feudalism which still
remain to bless the few and curse the
many in old England.
The house of lords is composed of
more than 500 peers who are legisla-
tors in the upper chamber of the i'm
perial British legislature by reason of
the fact that they were born eldest
sons of other peers. or because they
the common people by warrant Of the
crown, entitliag them and their sons
forever to this position of honor and
legislative power.
While the hereditary principle in
Legislation is indefensible and is prac-
tically undefended, even by the peers
themselves, there is an even greater
objection TO the British house of lords.
And that is that 500 of its members.
an overwhelming majority. are consist
ent and reliable supporters of the poll
-cies of the Conservative party, and
there is no opportunity short of revO-
luton to change this condition.
Conservatives Control.
This means simply that when a po
lftical issue has been referred to the
country for the verdict of public Opin
ion and the Conservative party has
been returned to power with a major
ity of members of the house Of COM
mons the Conservative government
formed as the result of that political
victory is able to place upon the stat
ute books any legislation it may de-
sire, secure always in the blissful con-
scfousnesss of the entire sympathy Of
the house of lords. But if the Liberal
party Is successful at the polls and is
entrusted with the business of con-
Quoting the affairs of the government,
il never can be certain of its power TO
pass any law or to make effective any
legislative or administrative policy.
since it may legislate only by the grace
of the huge opposition majority in the
upper house
Those of the people of England who
can vote gave an electoral verdict in
favor of the proposition of home rule
for Ireland. Home rule was defeated
by the lords. And every Englishman
and every Irishman knows, or ought TO
know, that the cause of home rule is
