 | Mrs. Edmonds entertained at her apart ment in the Levert. It has been on a number of occasions the scene of some graceful hospitality. Yesterday the apart ments were beautiful, as they always are, for Mrs. Edmonds is most artistic hos tess and her decorations were chosen and placed with attention to detail and ex- quisitene of effect which always makes perfection.

Some two weeks ago I wrote an article on the High Cost of Living" under the caption of How To Live on $15 a Week. 5
 Since then I've literally been .swanped'' with letters asking all sorts of questions and containing all sorts. of suggestions.
 The High Cost of Living is subject that interests everybody.
 Everybody wants to know the cause of the problem.
 Even so august person as MT. Taft, who Is on the track and willing to run down things to find out, hasn't told us yet.
 Many of the letters have received have said that the carelessness of housewives is one cause of such conditions. but l am inclined to think that it is not so much due to the negligence of housekeepers as 1t is to the great increase in population. the enormous influx of immigration and the rush to the cities, leaving the farms neglected and unproductive, and this be- lief is trengthened largely by the testi- mony of expert scientific investigation.
 I largely suspect that the tendency to "Chuck" the blame on the .weaker sex'' is the old one that has been ringing down the ages since the Garden of Eden epi- sode. "The Woman Thou gavest me" etc.. etc.
 It strike me that instead of the women being to blame for such A state of af- fairs that the masculine element of our country has allowed a dozen or more men to seize all the living commodities and lock them up into cold storage plants. and there to hold them until they can drive prices up to the topmost notch.
 Of course, I couldn't begin to answer all the letters I have received on this sub ject, but one that covers the ground fully in few words, and permits broad view of the question, is from a correspondent who says she has tried the "sl5 a week proposition and failed ignomniously, and would help her bit by telling her just how much of the battle depends upon the woman, etc, etc.
 Not that I can make any specific re- ply to her (space is at a premium in these columns), and if I were to say all there is to say I'd probably have to publish a book.
 Were I to say such thing COULD be done comfortably I'd have to open an of

Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
 people before their time. Often be-
 fore a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of complete nervous breakdown. 1t is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good con dition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna Kounz, 2II Mechanic St., Pueblo, Colo, says:
 For many years I suffered from nervous prostration; was unable to do any house work and doctors failed to help me. Remedies tried from druggists did not do me particle of good. A neighbor told my husband abOiit

flee expressly for the purpose of receiy- ing guests who were seeking advice as to how this miracle could be performed.
 If I were to say such feat could NOT be performed, the myriads of couples who are at present living comfortably on that amount would feel righteously indignant that their existence is apparently not res garded as t''livng' at all.
 Consequently
 I will deliver my ultimatum in a very few words by saying that the proposition depends entirely upon the couple. and that the woman is no more responsible than the man.
