tirely If there is a girl anywhere
around-unless he has an oppor-
tunity to make cutting comparisons
all vanished over as fun of
course.
eff ever I marry" stated the girl,
I'm not going to marry one of
these men who think a certain kind
of surface gallantry is enough for
woman. I don't care If man
never pays me a compliment. What
I do want is for him to have so kind
heart and so wholesome a respect
for all women that he will never
think of treating his wife without
kindness or failing to show her that
respect which every man should
show to his wife. And even if he
! knows his wife isn't worthy of re-
spect, as sometimes happens, he will
never let anybody else suspect it.
''I don't think any wife ought to
be the butt of her husbands jokes.
To say the least, it isn't in good
taste. And 1 want to state right
here and now that no matter how
funny 1t may seem to the husband
who does the joking, It isn't funny
for the people who have to listen.
They feel for his wife and they have
mighty poor opinion of a man who
exercises his cheap wit at the ex-
pense Of his wife to entertain the
company.
Nobody likes fun more than I do
and I can take a joke as well as any
body. But 1 want good, clean fun
not the kind that hurts somebody.
''Pd hate husband so serious that
he couldn't see a joke without q
surgical operation. But I'd hate
him a whole lot more if his sense OF
humor was all exercised at my ex-
pense.
eff I were married I'd certainly
hope to have a lot of fun with my
husband and he with me. But
would just as certainly uphold his
dignity with all my might, just as
would expect him to demand respect
for me, in actions and words, with
. all his might.
} 81 suppose you'd call that man one
of those dear old-fashioned gal
lants," concluded the girl. "He GER

A Chinese Problem.

One curious phase of the Chinese
situation is the virtual necessity
forced upon the Chinese revolutionists
Of choosing between a republic and
an empire with the present Manchu
dynasty at its head, even though the
throne We're shorn of all real power.
There is no available Chinese prince
TO take the place of the Tartar en-
peror, II the revolution were entirely
successful.
China has been so long under the
rule Of the Manchus that the old ma
tive dynasties have been forgotten by
all but the scholars who delve into
the history of their country. The
ancient royal families have been alb
sorbed in the mass of the nation, in
solar as they have escaped extermina-
tion by conquering foes. II would not
be possible TO find in China a man so
distinguished by descent and marked
out by position for the chief place in
the government that he could be
placed on the throne by common con-
sent. His claims would be chal-
lenged by many others with as strong
backing, historically. as he could
show.
Nor could China so outside of the
empire for a prince to become the
head OF a mild and strictly limited
constitutional monarchy. which Is the
form of government that many good
authorities believe Is best suited to
the Chinese nations present stage OF
development. Greece did that when
the long rule OF the Turks was ended
and the old princely families had no
candidates for the throne who stood
out from the rest. Bulgaria also took
n sovereign from an alien nation. OF
submitted in that respect TO the die,
tates OF the great powers
But China cannot go 10 Denmark OF
to one of the small German states 70,
a sovereign. Japan is the only ooun

stand just what the situation might
demand OF a new Chinese emperor and
dy-osty, and the military powers OF
Europe would look upon the sugges

Now there's a man who thinks he
is making a great impression on
me-" said the girl as she closed the
door after a middle-aged couple who
had Just terminated visit.
I'm the first place." she went on,
The thinks he's just a 'crusher'
where there is a woman around.
Hes old and bald and fat, but he
thinks he still can fascinate. He
fastens onto a girl and showers his
sweetness on her, tells here how per-
fectly charming she is and how he
has succumbed to her and If only he
wasn't married-here he sighs-and
if only he had met her sooner; and
does she believe in afinities?-more
sighs-and all that kind of rot.
Then he tries to take your hand
and pat it, or maybe he puts his
hand on your shoulder and smooths
it down. And he tries to sit as close
to you as he can and talks into your
face until you wish he'd take his in
fernal tobacco breath out into the
cabbage patch. And he monopolizes
all your attention and won't let
anybody else get to you; and all the
time he thinks you're dee-lighted be-
cause he has singled you out for his
fattering attentions.
| But l could stand even that
went on the girl, eff it wasn't for
the way he talks to his wife and
about her.
Now, know her very we'll indeed
and she is the dearest soul. Why
that man couldn't live a day with
out her. She does everything fol-
him-even keeps him looking re-
spectacle.
But he never speaks of her ex
ceept as the old woman He's al
ways making fun of her and saying
the cruelest things about her.
"Of course he makes believe ht
says it all in fun, but if that's fur
l want none of it. I've seen tha
poor woman vince more than once
when he was enjoying himself max
ing funny remarks at her expense.
"She is worth a dozen of him an!

she's on earth only to minister Il
him; that she's a sort of inferior be
ing-a person not to be respected
just because she is his wife and haC

taste she ever showed, in my opin

ton of Japanese prince for the
throne Of Picking as evidence not to
be tolerated of the intention Of Japan
to make China a virtual dependency.
1t is a clear choice between the
Manchu dynasty, stripped Of nearly
all its power and prestige. and a Chi
nese republic. 1t is extremely doubt
full whether the first alternative will
be accepted and equally uncertain
whether the second is practical, as
China stands today.

MRS. PHILANDER c. KNOX,
AVA wife of the secretary of state,
probably cares less for the social side
OF life In Washington than any other
woman whose husbands official po-
siuon entities her to so high a sta

Both Mrs. Knox and her husband
have pronounced dislike for social
functions They love the quiet of
their own home, and spend as much
time as they can on what they call

active interest IN the farm and its

PROJECTION. Not Rcrenne.

The allowance OF nearly a quarter
million dollars for 'the presidents
tariff board" win be eliminated from
the next sundry civil bill, according to
Washington dispatches. The reasons
assigned are:
A tariff board under direct super
vision Of the president is not demo
cratic.
The constitution gives the house OF
representatives the power OF initiative
in revenue legislation.
A presidentially controlled tariff
board amounts TO a usurpation OF that
power IN the house.
These reasons read like good logic;
perhaps 1t is hard to get away from
them. And yet there will be some to
make answer. and they will consider
