Some young matrons in a small

duced an innovation which added a
new nOte-the next hostess added a
little more to the menu; the next
one had prizes trifie more expen-
sive, until entertaining the club
grew to be nightmare, because of
the cost.
Finally one young woman went to
her mother and laid the matter be-
fore her. The elder woman advised
a return to the old, simple plan, the
abolition of the prizes, and the
daughter did SO. The clubs session
was just as enjoyable as it had ever
been, and young bride thanked
the young matron for her lead
which she was too glad to follow.
There the standard had been
raised beyond the means of the ma

Whether there was any real SYM
pathy due the woman who bought
piano-s'fve dollars down an three
dollars week''-when her husband
was getting $1S per week, depends
OF course on how much sympathy in
your makeup is going to waste.
The moral of the story was, that
spurred by the thought of that So
per weekly payment, the woman's
husband demanded a "raise" of So
per week, and got it.
But with the piano, and the
raise the family was not content
to live in the three rooms they had
occupied, and they moved to larger
and Of course, more expensive quar-
ters.
Step by step they added to their
debts, by living up to the false
standard they had set.
1t is very much like the man who
lived with his family in an oldfash-
Toned house. He was in distant
city once and bought a very hand
some rug for his wife's parlor. The
rug made the mantelpiece look very
shabby, and they bought new one.
The furniture looked badly when
they compared it with the new
mantelpiece-so some new furniture
was bought, finally the newly-fur-

Many of Them, According State Board of Charities
Are in Deplorable Condition and Are Contami-
mating Not Regenerating, Centers

The women of the state could not
forts toward the improvement of the
legislature.
This will be next winter.
For the benefit of any woman here
abouts, who casts an eye over this dia-
tribe, and who is not versed in mat
tiers of public procedure, il might be
said that the Legislature in Indiana
meets every two years and continues
its sessions for sixty days.
Therefore this would seem an op.
perfume moment to take this matter
up.
Many jails are dirty, unkept, unsan-
itary and actually filthy.
Men and women cast indiscrimi-
nately into these detestable places are
degraded still lower by their incarcer.
alton in these execrable holes.
In many communities, too. youthful
offenders are locked up with the wors,
degenerates and criminals and are
contaminated thereby.
, Many jails, which are roomy and
comfortable enough, are untenantable
because they are so dirty.
! A Jail should be kept as clean as q
hospital.
1t should, in short, be one of the
aids toward the improvement of the
moral and physical condition of its
inmates instead of the reverse.
| This state has the only woman's
prison in the United States, and is eel
ebrated thereby.
In all other states of the Union the
womans penitentiary is in the same
location as that of the men
In Indiana we have separate State
prison.

ali Smith, was influential in its inaug-
uration.
Mrs. Smith was an Engiishwoman
of great force of character and extra
ordinary executive powers and 1t was
through her influence that the Wom-
ans Prison in Indiana was instituted.
She was its first Governor.
Mrs. Smith was the mother of Mrs.
William ]. Hiatt. of this city, and a
woman highly esteemed by the admin
istration of Indiana al the period of
her public activities.
II was through her offces and the
dominant influence she exercised with
the Governor and other state ofhcials
that caused Indiana to lead in a great
reform many years ago.
4 reform which the other states
have not yet been able to bring about
II was a woman, therefore, who was
instrumental in the establishment OF q
Woman's Prison in Indiana.
And IL should be the women who
would reform the jails.
People in forced confinement, fol
one thing. should be given some sort
OF occupation.
| A horrid condition prevailed in one
county of the state where the mer
were reported as picking the plaster
, ing off the walls. For this the inmates
were not to be blamed. They were
driven to it through inaction and in
anity. No matter what the offense, the
! inmates of jails should be given some
occupation, however trifling. Some
thing with which to pass away tn,
time

There might, and possibly should

There's no use denying we are
proud of our reputation for turning
out novelists and poets and musicians

Our educational system, one of the
best in the country.

OF our enlightened legislation of a
various character.
But there can be no question about
one thing.
And that is the lax conditions under
which the county jails throughout the
state are managed.
The State Board of Charities has
long been after the state administra
ton to remedy this.
But SO far, save in occasional in
stances, the county jails are more OF
less of a disgrace to the state.
For one thing there should be sepa
rate jails for women throughout the
state.

regard in that the Home for Friend

city but county women offenders.

they are put into separate apartments
