daughter, Miss Marguerite Hart at
their pretty home in South and Main
streets. Crown Point last Saturday. The
entertainment included a one o'clock
luncheon and musicale. About seventy
FIVE society ladies' of Crown Point, Chit
cago and Hammond were received A
beautifully appointed luncheon of four
courses was served the guests at one
o'clock. The covers were laid at small
tables in the dining and living rooms.
Dainty hand decorated lace cards were
chosen to carry out the coler scheme
of yellow and white. The tables were
treated to simple decoration of flow
ers and greens and in the parlors there
was a profusion of garden flowers, pot
ted palms and ferns. The luncheon was
followed by a musicale. Miss Harriet
b. Jones, contralto and Miss jeanette
EStinson pianist both of Chicago gave
the program which was very delight
full. The program was given as fol-
lows.

THE MENfoRIAL BUILDING.

Inasmuch as the bill to appropriate
$250,000 for the construction of the
State Memorial building is sponsored
by the ways and means committee of
the senate, it is reasonable to assume
| that it will be favorablyN acted upon by
the legislature. And there is no good
reason why it should not be. The state
is sorely in need OF just such build
ing, not only for headquarters for
the state G. A. R. department, and as
fitting memorial to the gallant sons
of Kansas who fought and bled in the
civil war, but also to provide adequate
quarters for several of the state de-
partments which are now huddled to-
gether in the state house in such a way
that they are of little advantage ID
any one.
1t would certainly have been a mis-
take to have gone ahead and put up
such building with lime or sandstone
for its basic material, and this is the
only kind of stone that could have been
used if no more than the original ap-
preparation of 100000 for the building
was allowed. There is no lasting
quality to this stone. 1t may be all
very nice for sentimental reasons to
put up state buildings with a stone
that is native to the commonwealth,
but sentiments of this sort ought not
to outweigh utility and effectiveness.
The state has already had a sorry ex-
perience with soft stone in the con-
struction of the state house. So much of
the stone thus used is fast crumbling
away that it is only a matter of time
when one of the large wings of the
capitol will have to be rebuilt, and the
same course will likely have to be pur-
sued in the course of time with the
whole structure.
About $4,000 has already been ex-
pended for excavation and foundation
work for the Memorial building. With
the proposed appropriation of $3.50, 900 to
complete the structure. its cost will op-
proximate 100000 That seems like 4
lot of money. but it is not any too
much for the purpose to which it IS
going to be put, or for the worth that
this building will be to the state. 1t is
only $4,000 more than half of the sum
that Kansas has received during the
past three or four years from the fed
cal government as reimbursement for
state expenditures in repelling inva-
sions and helping out in the campaigns
against the Indians. This sum Of
money was a veritable find for the
state, and because of that fact it means
that the state will be able to erect this
magnificent Memorial building at what
will practically be no additional ex-
pense to the taxpayers of the state.

THE WIFE,s SHARE.

MY wife, writes a correspondent
much as if referring to a buggy or a
binder, says the Kansas Industrialist,
my wife says she has a right to SO
much every week. I'm not stingy; I
give up what can spare, but I OBJ
ject to paying for two new rugs and
calling them Christmas presents
Ordinarily this paper does not de-
sire to go into the chaperon business,
but neither is it conscious of any es-
pecial aversion to it in an instance like
this. Indeed it gives the Kansas In
dustrialist a feeling of pleasure to de-
clare. here that in it's opinion some men,
very many men, should be taken into
the alley. a really dark and fearsome
alley, and well beaten with a thorough
ly dry eucalyptus club-the hardest
wood that comes to mind on short no
tice.
OF course your wife is entitled to a
definite sum, you big gump. and the
more she can get the better for you.
Every woman has a right, in capital
letters, to definite amount every week
or month, or whenever it is that you
deceive some employer into paying you,
and that money should be put into the
bank for her or handed to her-to save
bookkeeping, for she will check 1t out
at once-and she should never have to
ask for it. Why should she? The
chances are she gave up a good home
or a job to be your wife-it's usually
some sensible, Industrious creature who
gets tied up with tight wad as they
are called in Sylvia.
Every little while the English Ian
guage is enriched by the addition of
some strangely expressive word for
which the world has waited. Tight wad
is such a word and it has come into
the kingdom to serve fine purpose.
Better than Miser or Closefist or Stingy
Bill it describes the penurious bears OF
the households in which faithful wo-
men cringe while humoring the Ill
natured, parsimonious lords who make
gay about buying me a present with
my own money or make life more than
usually burdensome by reminding others
at every meal of the high cost of living
The correspondent here referred to be-
longs to all these classes, evidently
What his family needs is a receiver
legally appointed, to give the wife hel
wages. the wages of faithful service
in this world. And he ought to be
mighty glad he has good meals, prop
erly prepared, and welI-kept home
all of which he grudgingly admits in hi:
misspelled letter. You just bet you
wife is entitled to a share. It ought
| to be doubled.
