Two Sides to a
Question
By E4TRICE FAIRFAX.

THOUGH love and marriage are
the dreams of every girl. hap
piness is not dependent on
either and often one is hamiest With
out them
There are two sides to the ques-
ton. The CIR, who is looking anx-
lousy for the coming Of a lover. aud
who grows apprehensive when he is
delayed, sees only one side. She takes
no account Of the look Of care, unhap-
piness and discomfort on the face Of
the wife. She does not see-she re-
fuses to see-th.t matrimony does not
always bring returns commensurate
for the price one must pay.
Perhaps it may lessen the d!scon-
tent Of the girl who has no lover 90
compare the life of the woman who
never marries with that Of the wife.
The girl has time and opportunity
for cultivating every talent with
which she is endowed. The only tai
ents the wife is given opportunity 10
develop are those Of economy and pa
thence.
The happiness Of a nation depends
on its power to dream. and this being
true Of the whole. is true Of the part
The girl dreams of an ideal lover
and the dream is never shattered, a
wife has no illusions left.

A Wife S Work.

A girl has many hours In which she

ARGUMENTS OVER
LOWER CAR STEPS
Twenty-seven Amendments to Existing
Regulations Have Been
Submitted.

Following a prolonged investigation Of
the street car service in the District.
twenty seven amendments to the exist
ing regulations have been submitted by
the District Electric railway commission
ington Railway and Electro Company.
for comment.
Secretary Eddy, of the commission
stated yesterday that some of the
amendments were minor and that others
were important. The street car COM
panies were given two weeks in which
TO consider tn" proposed amendments be
fore final action will he taken by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The amendment directing that the
street car companies shall lower their
car steps from eighteen to fourteen inches
is bitterly assailed by the companies
The Washington Railway and Electric
Company. in n brief filed at the commits
sion. hold that il the order Is put into
eject, It will mean the abandonment OF
their summer equipment. Before finally
making its recommendation to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, the Dis
trict Commission will consider the objec-
tons of the electric companies. Secre-
tary Eddy refused to make any predic-
ton as to what the outcome OF the mat
ter would be.
A number of Washington clubwomen
have been working for the low car step
regulation and for the regulations in
surfing better ventilation of the cars.
The regulation for the 14-inch car step
was decided upon by the commission
after a hearing at which Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey and other women
spoke. The companies may have to
abandon their open car equipment and
this will not meet the approval of the
open-air advocates.
