eyIRAVAGANCE AS CAUSE OF DlvORCEs

exTRAVAGANCE AS ACAUSE OF DIV0RCEs At the opening of the fall term at court in Pittsburg 100 women and 98 men applied for divorce from their matrimonial partners. Fifty of the men ask ed for divorces on the ground of extravaganza, claiming that their wives spent too much mon- ey on fashionable gowns and hats.
 And this in Pittsburg. whose men have the reputation of burn- ting up he long green! Or, per haps. they only burn it cheerful | ly for women not their wives.
 The question raised by these Pittsburg divorce statistics is an important one. and 1t would be interesting to know just how much partwomen's extravaganza plays in domestic infelicity, and in how many divorce cases, if the real correspondent was named, 1t would be the millinery store or the bargain counter.
 Undoubtedly there are many women who are dress mad, and who in order to disport them selves in the latest Paris fnery are perfectly willing to ruin their husbands, or work them to death. Certainly any man is justified in getting up and leaving such a woman. Better the divorce court than the bankruptcy court, and wise the man who ha the courage to free himself in time from a wife who is sc~heartless and So sei.ish~that she thinks
 mos 9 Of al5rn;ne her own bae& than she does of his peace and comfort.
 The criminally extravagant
 wife is, however, much rarer
 bird than is generally believed.
 Ninety-nine times out of hun
 dred when you see woman
 spending more money than she should upon her clothes and liv-
 ing, it is because her husband
 has kept her in ignorance of his
 financial affairs, and she does
 not know where she stands on the financial platform. No man could do business without having an idea of what his assets and income were, yet the majority , of women are expected to man. age their affairs thrifty when ] they don't know whether they , can afford homespun or silk vel
 vet.
 The money question in the , family is one of the burning , questions that will probably never be settled this side of mill , annjum.
 , One of it's curious features i; 5 that the man who delights ir
 throwing his morey around out ' side of the home is very frequen. l tly a tight-wad in it. He vii 5 spend twenty dollars buying drinks for a lot of barroom loaf : fers. and then have a fit over ' his wife's extravaganza because l, she wants a ten-dollar hat. |, Another reason why men ac' cuse women of extraG m

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Some Of the new road law talk is
amusing. We heard a bunch talking
the other day, and the conversation
ran something like this: We have
gotten along alright just as we are
for thirty years. Why not get along
this same way for thirty more years?
When the farmers were poor, the
legislature left them alone. Now that
they are well-to-do, the legislature
wants to get their money away from
them. Our lawmakers are rascals,
and the new road law is simply a
scheme to get the money away from
the farmers for the benefit of the le-
gislatures. The new law would make
our taxes so heavy we could not
stand the extra burden" Well, we'll,
we'll, if we had left we'll enough alone
for the past thirty years very likely
we would be binding our grain by
hand and threshing it with fails,
driving to town with orleans and
stone-boats and all that sort of thing.
And bless your heart, Mr.. Farmer,
that man you helped send to the le-
gislature isn't the thing to get your
money away from you. He is trying
to help yourself through better roads.
Good roads ten times as much
to you as they do to any other man
OF this earth. If you should pay out
a little money for good roads YOU are
the mar who gets the most Of its
benefit. We are not shouting for the
new road law-don't know a thing
about it. But ii makes us feel a little
disgruntled to hear a man set up a
dismal cry just as sool as anybody
suggests the expenditure of a little
money for public improvements -

FEAR MIX-UP OF FALSE HAIR
Why Women, Apparent Strangers,
Insist on Occupying Adjoining .
Berths In Pullman.

Nobody can tell funnier stories
about the false-hair craze than rail-
road employees.
For some time after women began
to swell their heads out with such
enormous quantities of hair" said
Pullman conductor, I'VE couldn't quite
understand why women who were APP
parent strangers to each other should
insist upon occupying neighboring
berths, even bargaining to exchange
with other passengers to obtain the
desired accommodations. Finally a
girl wearing about bushel of blonle
hair enlightened me.
"'Have you noticed she said, that
blonde insists upon sleeping near
another blonde, and brunette near
prevent ludicrous mistakes in an
emergency that necessitates quick
dressing. Surprising there should be
an accident in the night and every
body would have to throw on their
clothes and hair In the dark. If am
shut up in the same compartment
with a brunette 1 am likely to mix
some of her black hair with my
blonde puffs and she mine with hers.
What we would both look like can be
imagined That happened to me once,
so now insist upon sleeping near
blonde neighbor, even If l have to
pay extra for it,"
