D MAKE MONEY.

. titled person. who likes to see women
work Doesn't It sound brutal: or
rather doesn't II sound British? Yet Sir
Frank Newncs. son OF the late Cir
George Newnes. and proprietor OF a
chain OF magazines and newspapers. Is
not a brute. though he Is an English
man-which IL not IN Intentional para
dox.
Now. most OF ts like to see other poo
pie work. and millionaires are notice
ably partial to that particular form OF
amusement. Also 1t Is not unusual for
them to combine business with pleasure
by watching other people work for
them. But that Is not exactly Sir
Franks point of view:

All women should have a Definite
o. patton" said Sir Frank firmly.
mo nece ssarily a money making occu-
patton 1t would be rather foolish for
a Girl OF good family with plenty of
money TO go out In the world as a ste
nographer. The same purpose is served
for such a girl II she interests herself
in athletics of some sort. But II Is not
coed for women TO remain idle. Though
quite frankly. on the other hand, | per-
sonally do not take Nonan's work very
seriously"
Just what do you mean" I asked.
and Z trus; l glared IN a dangerous
manner
Il mean said Sir Frank. with a
g~ood-natured shrug. that woman's
work. most OF It. is at the best a
makeshift. The great masses OF wom-
en- really go to work until such time
az they are married.
All Think Of Marriage.
I'm her own heart no woman. no
matter how Independent. eve gives up
the thought of marriage. and most OF
them think OF II as a condition under
vhich they will give UP their work
and settle down to the care OF their
homes and children. And they should
Mind YOU. I approve OF It.
"a woman with a family should not
continue her activities IN the business
world. II she does It means leaving the
rearing OF her children TO servunts-and
that 4. all wrong. There is a very deli
cate ana intimate relation between .
moline, and q young child, That relation
is vital 90 the child's best good"
Does not all this eound as though
Sir Frank were married and the father
az at east eighteen children? But he

built person. with the typical t,nslish
culoring. and the Typical English clothes
and the typical English manner OF pro-
testing.
"Oh. ] say, but they will rag ne over

"You know" admitted Sir Frank. II
Am a BIT old-fashioaed in my IDEAS
about women. l have not even declared
tnyscl' In favor q. woman's suffrage
vet. on, u course. YOU viii get II,
rhe women OF England will have II
soon, aui the American women VIII. too,
But / am not quite sure myself that
approve.
You see, ! am not positive that wom-
en- fundamentally and honestly do want
10 be enfranchised. In England. you
know. there are more women than there
are men; consequently all the women
of England cannot marry. There are
not enough men to go around.
.Now. my point is this: haG there
been enough men in England t. pro-
vide a husband for every woman
would the suffrage agitation ever have
ftartod?"
,'you make suffrage denerde1t N
statistics" ! exclaimed. But you see
taat does no. work ont either, because
I'm America there are more men than
there are women, Yet We wish 10 be
