about to dissolve their relations, you
would have been shocked and would
have studied most carefully the causes,
putting the blame where it belonged.
Such thing in my day was a neighbOr-
hood calamity. The husband who would
not support his wife or who would neg
lect her was regarded as an OutcaSt-
The wife who neglected her nome and
who would not provide food and decent
lodging as her part of the partnership
was frowned upon and outlawed. The
greatest test of a good wife was Wheth-
er she was a good cook and housekeeD-
er. Now, however, 1t seems to be Wheth-
er she can wear split skirt and at
tract other men. Are we, as nation,
going crazy?
Since you went to New York, I have
been reading the papers of that city,
and recently 1 observed the statement
of a doctor that in a few years one
third of the world would be stark,

IeVe it All that l can gather Of life
in New York is that lot of politicians
are scrambling for office; men and WO-
men spend their afternoons dancing
tanSoes and turkey trOts at restau-
and dance their way into the night.
When I see the men and boys on the
farms about HOlbroOke going into the
fields, and reading and counting in the
evening for recreation, I find it hard to
realize that you and l are living in the
same world. If it were not for the
fact that occasionally 1 find it neces-
sary to drop over to the homestead,
where I find some of your fine ladies
smoking cigarets, l could not believe
that what I hear of New York is true.
There is nothing that I can say about
your determination to go on the stage.
You have decided TO do it and that is
the end of it. However, l will continue
to send you your monthly check.
Please don't disturb Jim Burke in his
plan to marry Molly Siddons. it would
be cruel.

wheat A little too much Sameness
about it, you might say. but relief
after the contact with the complexities
of life. He was as blunt and as SEN
sible as you might expect him to be.
You may be surprised at what I am

but 1 feel / should tell you before /

Molly S.ddons to be my wife First, L
want to know whether you think there
is the slightest chance that Laura could
ever care for me-"
That's exactly the way he put il,
Laura I might have sent him gallOp-
ing to New York to play Romeo to
your Juliet, but I was afraid il would
annoy you. He would make you good
husband, but have old fashioned ideas
of love and marriage. We used to
marry young. when I was 4 girl, and,
despite historical reports to the con-
trarN. we used to marry the men we
loved IT was only the very rich who
forced their daughters and sons into

told Jim frankly that there was no

you had told me YOU didn't, and had
written that he ought to marry Molly

Anyhow, he said that he thought the
situation was about a s I had stated IL
and added: I realize that it would be
very fine and noble of me to hang
around and wait until Laura had seen
something of life and was willing to
return to the haven Of my arms. but
unfortunately I have more sense than
poetry IN my system. I am beginning
to look upon her departure for New

New YORK. Aug. Is.
M OTHER DEAR; You surely were
VH meant for a tragedy queen. You
would have made a reputation
for the family had you played Lady
Macbeth. Personally. don't know
whether the world IS going crazy or
Is just emerging from that delicate
state of mind into sanity. 1 am inclined
to the latter view You say that the
old fashioned notion was that the value
of a wife was determined by her cook
ing. Have YOU ever thought that that
women by economical husbands 1t was
cheaper to get a wife cook than
hired cook. Naturally the men We're
strongly in favor Of the idea. but 1
have observed that while divorces were
not 50 frequent in those DAYS. moons
fancy on the part OF the husband was
probably more frequent.
We are taking harsh measures in
these modern DAYS to establish the
single standard OF virtue; that IS why
IN most OF the divorce cases to which
We refer the woman is the plaintiff
L viii never surrender the idea that
women are the equal of men: that they
have just as much right TO the pursuit
of liberty and happiness IS have the
men, Have you ever noticed that the
constitution OF this glorious country
does not guarantee happiness to any
of US? 1t merely guarantees our right
to pursue it That is what all of Us
are doing, each in his own or her own
way. l remember distinctly what YOU
told me before l went away; that in
your day children STAYED with their
parents and made their declining
years happier. But you also say now
that the children married when they
were young. Thus, they must have
set up new esta bnshments.
This much is certain Two persons
of the same sex can never live in the
same house on conditions of equality.
In the slang of the day. 1t can't be
done" one or the other must sur
render his or her personality. When
one is a child il is different. The
domination of the parent IS natural.
But when one is a grown woman.
either the daughter or the mother
must surrender to the others person
aliIy.
1t was not II nv nature to surrender.
I hated, mother dear. TO have You tell
me that my room was untidv. When
I wanted to 90 to the Homestead TO
dance. 1 hated to have 20 give an ac-
counting. L wanted to be free and VI

I had already written the little note

3LLIOTT SUCCEEDS MELLEN AS HEAD
 NEW HAVEN ROAD

It was believed that his title for the present would be that of President and that he would be moved into the position of chairman of the board as soon as possible after the changes in the bylaws creating this position are ratified by the stockholders at the an- nua1 meeting in October.
 Rumors that Theodore N. Vail would become chairman of the board did not find general credence in Wall streets as it was not believed that MT. Vail would give up his position as head of the Ameripan Telephone and Telegraph Company
 Whatever changes in financial policy, if any, are recommended at to- days meeting, such as the divorce of the New Haven's trolley lines also will not be placed in effect, it was explain ed, until ratified by the stockholders.
 The recommendation will go to the directors in the form of a report from the subcommittee appointed after the resignation of President Mellen. This committee consists of J. P. Nor gan, Theodore N. Vail, Samuel Req, William Skinner, Edward Milligan and Robert W. Taft.

GREAT SECRECY
 INVESTS RAILROAD
 ARBITRATION CASE

New York, July 25-Secrecy invests so closely the conferences of the fed eraI nediators and the railroad man agers, conductors and trainmen that little is known regarding what pro gross has been made toward an agree ment upon the matters to be arbitrated between the railroads and the men When these conferences were resumed today the belief was that the railroads were demanding of the men a com promise by which the roads would be permitted to submit some, at least, of their own grievances to arbitra- ton.
 public opinion is beginning to force the men to come part way to meet them in this attempt to adjust diff ferences.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-07-25

New York, July 25-The meeting of directors of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad this after noon was expected to open a new era in the administration of the rail- road, steamship and trolley lines con- trolled by that system. Wall street was less interested in the personnel of the new officers to be chosen than in the proposed changes in operating the financial policy.
 How far the directors would go to- day in adopting these recommendations was in doubt. It was believed, how ever, that the board would at least naJne a successor to President Chas. s. Mellen, that the new head would be Howard Elliott, now president of the Northern Pacific and that he would be given control of the whole New Haven system.
