SIvY1HAT do l think of divor'

EkVY THAT do l think of divorce
w and alimony?" said Mrs.
~ May Arkwright Hutton,
the prominent leader of the Wom-
ans Suffrage club, when asked for
her views on the subject. We'll, I
can tell you in very few words my
ideas in regard to this question. I
believe that marriage is a civil con-
tract, as the contracting parties are
governed by law; when it goes be-
yond this it depends entirely upon
the individuals.
Divorce laws. like many other
good laws, have been abused, but
many times it is good way out of
a bad bargain. Why should people
remain together and be unhappy?
To my mind, the cause of so much
discomfort, unhappiness and d.
vorce is due to incompetency. I
believe that every girl should be
reared as Queen Victoria reared her
daughters-to be able to do every
thing from scrub a floor to play a
piano.
"The average girl is likely to
marry a man who will want Irish
potatoes three times a day, and the
average girl doesn't know how to
cook them. Yes, indeed, the great
est cause of divorce is incompetent
cy on the part of women. Statistics
show that there are fewer divorces
among Germans and Scandinavians
than any other nationalities and
attribute this to their early train
ing.
THE American girl and especial
ly the western girl, lacks training.

Hutton, by little experience | had

young lady, my mother was a cou-
sin to Lord Emerson, and l think
can be of service to you Can
you cook?" was the next question
addressed to the fair applicant and
she answered, no"
Mrs. Hutton drew herself up in
her comfortable chair and laughed
as l asked her what she thought of
the alimony part of the question.

Society Events
ofPast Week

The rush of the honday season
seems to have detracted little from
the social activities. In spite of the
fact that many young society maids
and their parents are preparing for
various trips abroad, and to numer-
GUS other places, this week has
claimed it's share of charming gath
erings. both formal and informal.
Tuesday evening the members of
the University entertained their
friends at a delightful dancing
party at the Masonic temple. The
club membership includes men and
boys from every college in the
United States, and their series of
dancing parties are among the
most popular ones of the season.
About IS couples were present last
Tuesday evening.
The members OF the Whist club
were guests of Mrs. Cyrus Happy

WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS.

Women know this, but we VEN
ture the opinion that not one man
in fifty knows it. When a woman
first makes up bed she puts on
two clean sheets, which are used
a week. Then lower sheet is
taken off and replaced by the up
per sheet, the upper sheet being
replaced with clean one. This
is kept up week after week, each
bed getting one clean sheet 4
week. We always thought that
when you got clean sheets on your
bed you got two clean; but you
don't; you get but one. When
company comes two clean sheets
are placed on the company bed.
When the company goes the sheets
are taken off and washed, whether
used one night or six.-Atchison
