other dance for next Tuesday night
for the affair is to be in honor OF Miss
Strickler who leaves soon for Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Roy Stamm, a frequent host at
his bachelor apartments, said 10 have
no equal in all the southwest for
unique and beautiful furnishings, and
who Dame Rumor hath il will go the
matrimonial way-that dire fate of all
bachelors-mind you, that may be
some OF the chattering Danes gossip
without foundation of fact, but the old
| lady told me and crossed her heart
twas true, and said the wedding bells
would chime over the Christmas snow
with those other bells that ring out
peace on earth, good will to men
Mercy, how my thoughts do tangle-l
started out to tell o that Mr.. Stamm
was host Thursday night for his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. p.
Stamm. and maybe 'twere wiser and
more polite for US just to talk abou
the party. 1t was a really delightful
one, quite a gathering of oldtime
friends and relatives. and marked with
all the informality privileged such an
occasion. There were cards-5OO-
music TO cheer the game along. and
last but not least, a mighty fine sup
per. The participants were Mr.. and
Mrs NJ. =. Stamm, Mr. and Mrs. Ray
mond Stamm, Mr.. and Mrs. A. j..
Maloy. Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Walker,
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Edgar, Mrs
Shupe, Mrs. B. S. Rodey, Miss Bal
bridge. Mr.. j. c. Baldridge and Mr.
Roy Stamm.
At Just about this stage of the game
I am getting jealous-that's me talk
ing, and the old lady has paused for
~breath-and the supplanted editor is
going to tell you something of which
our lady of gossip knows nothing MT
Isaac Barth told me-you know him
that nice kind lawyer, and he is OF
the profession where Truth (speIled
with a capital) is the ruling factor.
It's all about the time that the suf-
fragist called me up Ito call me
DOWN about calling them suffrag-
cites. You remember the suffragist
told me that 3 suffragette wanted to
cast q brick alon~ with the ballot and
the writer possessing more creduiity
than knowledge. tina is about this
particular subject took the lady's
word for it-but Mr.. Barth objects to
that definition of suffra gette, and per-
sonally / am q great believer in Mr.
Barth, amt you? He told me that
the s~uffragettes not only wanted to
vote. but craved, and were fighting
for some OF the rights enjoyed by we
Americans. EIere's how that promi-
nent lawyer summed the thing up:
Did you know that when an
Engllshman dies he can. If he chooses,
cut his wife off entirely and not
leave her one cen of his fortune?
Did YOU know that while living
he can take his children away from
her and give them into the charge of
his footman or valet-if he chooses?
Did you know that if she has saved q !
tiny sum out of the most niggardly
from him, saved it penny by
penny to buy q stone Tor the grave
of a dead child, maybe, he can seize 1t
all, can so into our and procure an
forcing her to turn it all over to
Those are just a few of the
powers the English husband may ex-
ercise over his American wife"
And he ended up by declaring an
IInglishman could beat his wife
whether she deserved it or not. Tt re-
me of the way in which Lady
Tennessee Claflin Cook, who has
the suffrage tanners and other
banners compares the English
and American husbands:
with the Englishman," she said,
its my dog. my horse, my cat. my
house, my children-and my wife.
with the American it's MY WIFE
my children, my home, my horse, |
dog and cat. The wife of an Ameri-l
is his all. the wife of an English
man Is merely an accessory.
