TT was three hundred and TWEEN
ty-two years ago that Peter
Bales published his Writing
Schoolmaster, the worlds first
book on the system OF writing
known as Shorthand"
II seems to be well established
fact that the more advanced ma
tions of antiquity had something
that was to a certain extent equiv
alent TO our present-d day art of rap
id writing: but during the dark
ness of the Middle Ages all prac-
tical acquaintance with the short
hand systems OF Greece and Rome
faded completely away, and it was
not until the closing decade of the
sixteenth century, with the publica-
tion Of Bales book. that the lost
art began TO revive.
Bales system was a clumsy one
clumsy from its very completeness,
since II contained an arbitrary sign
for every word in the English lam
guage. but It was a system of quick
writing, a system that worked,
however inadequately; and as such
it was a new departure from the
slow caligraphy which had pre-
vailed for many centuries. A truce
mad been declared with the Old a
call had been thrown out to the
new, and It was only a matter Of a
short time when the idea would
/. materialize in fullest results.

published his book and the pres
ent time over six hundred distinct

that Bales was the first to give the
modern world-the idea of quick
writing.
1t was a great idea, and it goes
without saying that the man who
put 1t into cur heads deserves a
niche in the Hall of Fame" along
with the other real benefactors of
humanity.
1t is quite unnecessary to insist
upon the advantages of shorthand.
They are obvious and they are
weighty. 1t would be quite impos-
sible TO transact the mighty volume
OF present day business without our
system Of shorthand The CONNER
cial value today of the idea that
was whispered into the worlds ear
more than three centuries ago by
the quaint Englishman goes up into
the hundreds of millions.
Indeed. If we had suddenly to go
back to longhand many lines Of
business would suffer great loss.
the law courts would be paralyzed,
political campaigns would be held
up. the press would be nightly
hampered, and in thousand WAYS
we would feel the absence of the
stenographer.

and has no money with which to
pay for his freedom. she does well
to go anyway, for there is no other
laborer on earth Who works so hard
and gets so little pay as a Door
mans wife. Her only reward is
the love and appreciation of her
husband, and if she doesn't get
these her labor is profitless indeed
There is no woman of ordinary
sense and health who can't make
living in these days and be treated
decently in the bargain, and SO
there is no reason for wife re-
naming With a husband who tells
her how tired he is of her and re-
proaches her with being alive. ex-
cept that she wants to stay.
unfortunately there are plenty OF
women who justify the old adage.
"a woman, a dog and a walnut
tree, the more you beat them, the
better they be-" Such women sim
ply thrive on i'll treatment, and the
more they are kicked and insulted.
the tighter they cling to a man.
Nobody need waste any sympa-
thy on them, for they are having
the time of their lives when they
are believing your parlor carpet

telling how their husbands neglect

iels that crawl back to kiss the
hand that strikes them, and they
are subjects for our contempt rath-

Enjoy Their Misery.
Nothing can be done for these
women except to leave them to en-
joy their misery and to revel in
whining They are spineIess crea-
lures, worms of the dust without

Few sections of vertebrate, enough to
make her resent being an unwel-

get back her lost happiness.
And that is by leaving her hus-
band, and giving him a chance to

spised is more necessary to his well
being than he has realized. Moth
ing makes a woman of such value

Indifferent to a woman as for her to

chief reason that men make negIi-

cherish the idea that a wife is
something you can't lose.
Therefore, a wifes one and only
chance to win back the husband
who frankly tells her he Is weary of
her and sorry he married her is to

By DOROTHY DIX

r GET great many fearful let
tiers from women who say that
their husbands are a-weary of
them. and wish to be rid OF them
These wives write that their hus-
bands are brutally frank, and tell
them to their faces what burdens
they are, how they hate them, and
how they Ions for death, or di-
vorce.
One woman writes: MY husband
says that he must certainly have
been drunk when he picked me out
for a wife" Another woman says
that her husband is always Won
dering why some kind friend didn't
put him in a lunatic asylum when
he announced that he was going
to marry her Still another says
that her husband is always saying
that if he hadn't been fool enough
TO tie up with her he could marry a
rich widow.
What She Should Do.
After relating these insults, and
mistreated by their husbands, these
women wind up their letters by
saying: What shall I do? Shall I
leave my husband or not?"
That depends on whether wom-
an has the soul of an outstanding
human being, or of a dog. To any
woman with one drop of free, in
dependent blood in her veins or
one shred of self-respect in her
character, there should be no such
question. She would have packed
her trunk and left at the very first
intimation that her husband no
longer wanted her, and felt her a
burden upon him. One can no more
understand woman lingering
along as a palpably unwelcome wife
than one can understand a woman
continuing to remain at : a place
where she knows herself to be an
unwelcome guest.
That a wife would stay on with a
husband who is tired of her and
who wants to be rid of her is the
more strange, because she is in
such a bad situation that nothing
could be worse. Whatever ills she
might fly to would be less endura-
BILE than those she suffers.
Certainly, to a sensitive woman
there can be no torture worse than
to live in the close relationship of
marriage with a man who hates
her; to be forced to note his averted
chances; to know that he begrudges
her even the very bread she eats
and the clothes upon her back
The Wise Woman.
Her only chance for happiness. or
even peace of mind, under such cir
cumstances is to go away where
her heart will not be stabbed daily
by cold looks, where she will be free
of insults and reproaches. and
where she can live her life in quiet
and selfrespect, as she can not do
as an undesired wife.
If a man has money the law will
force him to provide for the wife
he wishes to discard. AS matter,
of fact he will be willing to paw
out good money to get rid of her.
and If the woman is wise she will
put aside sentiment and come down
to brass tacks and drive a hard
