That prophecy has not come true ana

buildings seem inhospitable to vines. They
are not given a chance. Some of the

In these days of tango teas and woman
suffrage and silhoutte gowns and moral
crusading II is rare. indeed. to nnd
a woman with no other occupation
than the preservation OF a husband. IL
ought never TO be told, particularly by a
woman, but Ii is quite true. that more
than one husband has drifted into the
inconspicuous place of mere back
ground in his wife's life.
That isn't the sort of husband ''Davy"
Lewis is. Nor could any one, in the
widest flight of imagination. place Mrs.
Lewis In that variety OF emancipated
women.
Talk, to Mrs. Lewis ten minutes Nine
minutes of the conversation will be about
her husband One minute will be suffi-
Client TO include all remarks about her.
SELF And II isn't that stupid. newly
welded sort of gossip about my hus-
band" either. Not the sort that hinges
on such thrilling topics az He said to
me- and 81 said to him..
Mrs. Lewis remarks about Mr.. Lewis
are Just an outbreak OF her pride In him
and his success. Besides, they've been
married nineteen years.
Stop and consider what Mr. Lewis ca
reer has been Then, IL you're woman,
think how any wife in the world could
help being joyous over the success of a
man like 'Davy"
If you were an ambitious fellow like
Mr. Lewis--consider II a second-why.
there could be nothing in the world that
would be as great a comfort and inspira-
ton 10 you as the stanch faith of an en-
thusiastic wife.
You see, il hasn't been so very long
ago that Mr.. Lewis was a miner, work
ing with pick and shovel UP there in
western Maryland in a coal mine. He
was but nine years old when he went
down into the mines for his first strug-
gle. That was thirty-nve years ago
It's safe wager that even then the boy
Dayy decided to come to Congress some
day. He must have been that sort OF a
boy or he wouldn't be In the House of
Representatives now
Davy learned to read and write in sun
day school Think of that please. and
with all these early disadvantages OF
education that same boy worked his way
farther up in the world than do thSu-
sands OF chaps with far happier star,
in life.
He studied law at night after he had
finished his days grind in the mines
He was admitted to the bar. He came
to Congress and he was elected again
OF course. every one knows that the
parcel post bill, probably the most strik-
Ing measure Of Mr.. Tsfts administers
ton. was Davy Lewis own child. Pres
idept Wilson thought for long time. sc
the story runs, that he would make
Dsvy Postmaster General. The same
Davy who was working In the mines
when be was nine years old, mind you.

She was modishly gowned in a blue

smart little black velvet toque fitted
her head snugly.

clothes? Not exactly. but he is quick

I mean to be frivolous. very frivolous

dances. Even If we don't go out a

times when one truly wants to dance.
And doesn't two-step seem old fash

Mrs. Lewis belongs to no clubs. She
hasn't even Joined the Congressional
Club. nor a suffrage organization.
II believe in woman's right to vote,
she was saying, though I've never
made any open attempt to help the
cause. 1t seems to be that world wide
is sweeping along with such regular
success that it seems hopeless for the
most determined anti to evade it,
Before her marriage Mrs. Lewis was
western Maryland and met her husband
in just the way thousands of girls meet
the men they are to marry-at a party
given In her honor.
Her mother. who Is now keeping house
with younger daughter In Cumberland.
is interested in her son "Davy's" success.
She Is quite an old lady, and hasn't been
well and strong for a long time. That

line that has been printed in the papers

The interviewer didn't attempt an argu-
ment 1t is always 50 futile to try to per-
suade a Dickens enthusiast that Dickens
isn't all that she thinks he Is.
Mining conditions are naturally OF con-
siderable interest to Mrs Lewis. She was
eager to tell what fine people the miners
and their families are.
III a man has the hardihood to stand
the labor OF mining, he is pretty sure to
be a fellow worth while Oh. to be sure,
It is drudgery. Many of the old miners
realize this so strongly that they keep
their children away from the mines. They
want them to have chance to develop
in the outside world, where working con-
ditions are more agreeable" Is
