Ella Wheeler Wilcox Saws:

THAT IS per week is not too small
wage for girl to live on,
though she may find some diff
Guilty in managing It, is the opinion ex-
pressed by Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
just before her departure for Europe.
Also Mrs. Wilcox. talking with
reporter, replied to a list of other ques-
tons. the answers to which are printed
here:
Questionable mayor Of Boston. who
goes in for sociology among other
things. has stated that a couple may
marry and live happily upon SIS
week, but no less. This would let
very large proportion of the American
people out of the possibility of mar
riage. What do you think about it?
Mrs. Wilcox am inclined to agree
that marriage is possible on $15 a week
though that seems to be close to the
minimum upon which people could live
comfortably in conformity to American
standards. 1t depends. however upon
the woman.
The Right Woman
Question-Doesn't the man count?
Mrs Wilcox-He does not. Any man
can be managed by the right woman
and made to do the proper thing OF
course, there are some selfish brutes
who will drink and smoke and gamble
under all circumstances, but they are
the exception. The right man Will do
as the woman tells him. No, a woman
who is economical and a good house
lsaAnpp gn1t1a
upon that small sum if she were IA
miliar with food chemistry or even
used good common sense. In the first
place. we all Of us use about three
times a much food as we need. Upon
one-third of the quantity Of food NJ
present consumed we could live in
contented, satisfactory and happy man
ner If the wife would choose the
most nutritious meats and vegetables
purchase in large quantities and get
wholesale prices instead Of in small
quantities and pay the high retail price,
she could make tremendous economies
Question-And there are other ways
too?
Mrs. WilcOx-Yes. If she can sew
wonderful saving can be made. For
myself | would rather meet a roaring
lion than needle and thread, and I
am helpless in the hands Of my dress
makers and milliners I envy the wom-
an who can make her own things. I
have a niece whom am educating, and
am making sure she learns TO sew
A wife who can make her own dresses
do the mending and help in this way
might well feel that she could get
along on SO a week. Marriage on SIS
can be done if both husband and wife
are willing to do without many things
which we think we need, but which we
don't need at all. and il the babies
don't come too fast.
Girl Must Be Seamstress.
Question-Several economists say
girls can live away from home on IS q
week Do you think it is possible?
Mrs. Wilcox have known girls who
did It and l know of two who were
able to dress so that they took the
shine off women with expensive gowns
But they were good seamstresses, who

Dawson And try to get her for two
days if you can. It's such a huge
washing-Pm sure she couldn't do it
all in one"
Another Favor Requested.
Helen was almost certain that Mrs.
O'Reilly had no free days However,
she wrote a postcard asking her to call
Mrs. Dawson in the morning, explain
ing that she was sailing and that she
hoped she could help her out.
The next day about 10 Mrs. Dawson
again phoned Helen She began in much
the same way.
"Oh. my dear, Pm going to ask the
GREATEST favor-something thatli
make me eteruaIly grateful! You'll do
it for me-wont you?"
Again Helen murmured bewildered,
why. yes-if I can"
Mrs. O'Reilly always washes for you
Friday, doesn't she? Wen, will you
give me your day I know it's a lot to
ask-but I'm DESPERATE, She's Just
called up and says she hasn't a single
free day. but ! made her promise that
she'd come Friday if you are willing.
Then I'll persuade her to come back
and finish up Sunday"
why, I couldn't do that" stammered
Helen IF l gave up Friday I'd have
to wait another whole week, for that's
the only day l can have the laundry
downstairs"
We'll, couldn't you let it go over
just this once ! wouldn't ask you if
there was any other way. But there's
a lot of my fine things don't dare send
to a laundry. and / can't sail with a
trunk fun Of soiled clothes"
Helen hardly knew what to say. She
had never let the washing go two
weeks 1t would upset everything. But
Mrs. Dawson kept on insistently until
she murmured reluctant consent.

MOTHER IN i. S.
BARES ABUSE OF
zEL|E EMERSON

jackson. Mich, July s.-Mrs. r
II. Emerson mother of Zelie Emer-
son, who gained world wide noto-
, riety during the last few months by
her campaigns of militancy in behalf
of equal suffrage in England. has re-
f, turned to her heme in this city.
DO you think that militancy will
/ win in England?" Mrs. Emerson was
asked.
well, militancy is the only thing
that has ever won in England. Moth
ing was ever gotten there except
! through militancy. From the time
of the Magma Charta down to the
present everything has been Won
only after a struggle. Manhood suf-
frage in England was won only
through milltancy Militancy is the
only thing that will ever win in Eng
land"
Are the outrages in England now
charged TO the militaRts really COM
mitted by them?" was asked.
Shields Miitants.
Practically none Of these out
RACES are committed by he militauts.
None Of them is accomplished with
the knowledge of militants' officials.
The cutrages are charged to them.
but they do not commit them. OF
course, cannot say the sympathizers
with the cause are not to blame.
Tor do not know, but am sure that
the militants themselves are not re-
sponsihle for these outrages."
Mrs. Emerson declared that wom-
an is the under dog in England and
that militancy is necessary to arouse
the sluggish English mind to action.
She stated that anyone who would |
read Greene's History of England |
would find that it is history of sue
cess brought about by militancy.
rs 1t true that you found Miss
Emerson in bad condition, psysi
cally and mentally. when you went
to England"
Her physical condition was ter
rible, but her mind was not affected,
The statements concerning her men,
tai condition are untrue.
Interviews Are Refuted.
The published interviews are
nearly all without yestige of truth
in them. said Mrs. Emerson. ~
