New York women do not know
the real meaning of marriage. They
marry for q home to live out of;
they marry a man to be away from
him; they marry, in fact, to get di-
vorced in order to get a new hus-
band or live on the alimony of the
first.
Children are the last thing they
want. They are the very last word
of the useless"
Colonel Edward H. R. Green,
who promised his mother, Mrs. Het-
ty Green, that he would not marry
until he was 20 years over age, has
kept his word and is now qualified
for matrimony.

'If they can have beautiful
clothes and look fashionable" Col

it is that women from other States
follow like sheep.

little woman from my State-from
TeXas-come here and in a few
weeks she'll be fine veneer of the
New York woman. If a fashinable
New York woman went up Fifth
avenue wit ha ring in her nose. the
jewellers couldn't finish nose rings
fast enough to supply the demand.
The hobble skirt got down to the
Mexican border in my State six

women here do it? Most married
women here among the wealthy
classes don't know any more about
why paregoric is given or when the
youngster is expected to cut its first
teeth than they know about an ich-
thyosaurus.
"They leave that to thousand

If more women knew how to cook
