Why He Left.

A dispute once arose between a
landlord and his tenant. The latter
had given notice to quit, but would
not put a bill in his window to say
that his house was ITO Be Let"
To make matters worse, they went
TO law about it. The judge, having
heard the case, made an order for
the defendant to put bill up with

The landlord was so overjoyed at
his victory that on the fourteenth
day he took a friend with him around
70 the house to chaff his tenant. The
bill was up in the window plain
enough, but under it was another bill,

Woman S roper Place
By DOROTHY DIX.

good business positions and who bring
their money home TO make an old
mother comfortable and educate
younger brothers and sisters out CT
their places during working hours?
Is the woman who is married to a
man whose health fails out of her
place because she puts her shoulder
TO the wheel and helps the domestic
wagon out Of the ditch instead of let
ting It sink down into the mire?
If you ask my opinion, think that
every woman who needs money for
herself or for her family, is exactly
where she ought to be when she Is
earning 1t by her honest work. II the
men of her family can't support her,
there is no reason why she should not
support herself and help them, too, IL
they need it, For my part, I have
never been able to see why it isn't
just as feminine thing, and as much
in her line of duty, for a woman to be
prop to man as it is to be a mill
stone about his neck.
Is woman out of her place when she
belongs to clubs? Isn't It woman's
place to add to the sweetness and
light of life. and haven't the women's
clubs done more toward fostering the
higher education, identifying towns.
supporting art galleries and picture
shows, and giving the country a gen
eral esthetic uplift, than all other
causes combined?
Is the woman of wealth, and intelli-
gence, and leisure out of her place
when she devotes her energies to pub
| lie reforms and charities? Where else
would we look for our great philan-
thropies? Who would raise the money
for our hospitals, for our fresh air
funds, for our tuberculosis camps, for
our societies for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals? There Is not a
community in this country that hasn't
some old maid or childless widow who
is its good Samaritan, and nobody &C
cuses her of being out Of her proper
| sphere, except the evildoers on whose
corns she treads.
Out of Place?
There are those who contend that a
woman is out of her proper place
oh, millions of miles out of it-when
she takes an interest in politics and
wants to vote. Why? Has she not us
much at stake in the country as any
man? Does she not pay as many
taxes? Is she not affected by the laws
| just as men are? II food prices ad-
vance, does not the burden of making
the family income go further fall
upon neT II the sITeelS are ulTtb
and the water supply impure, does she
not have to nurse her sick, because Of
| it, and IL they die, is not her heart
| broken over their loss even more than
any mans? How can she be out Of
| her place when considering the ques-
| tions that are most vital TO her?
The truth is, there is no place in all
| the wide world that is not woman's
/ place. First al the cradle and last at
the tomb, she pillows mans head in
infancy on her breast and kisses shut
| his eyes when he dies, and there is no
| hope, no joy, no struggle, no labor no
victory, no defeat in his life in which
her place is not always by his side.
| 1t is idle to talk about sending
woman back to her place. The earth
is hers, and the fullness thereof, just
as much as it is a mans.

DON'T CALL AGAIN.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 10 and very popular. Late
ly / received word from a young
man who used to call on me pref
ty steady that he would like to
have me call him on the tele-
phone. l was informed he was
not in, and, as he is travelling
salesman, ! believed this, but
called few days later only to be
told the same story; this time
leaving my name saying he
should call me up. Now, as the
young man who received my mes
sage is also a good friend of mine,
and spoke quite confidential to me
on the phone, also telling me that
the other young man is just jolly
ing me along, l am in doubt as
to what course to pursue.
BABE.
You should not have called in the
first place. and your second effort does
not speak much for your dignity.
The young man, my dear, who IS
worth having will always take the
initiative. He will always make every
effort to communicate with the CIR
he loves and ask only that she be
pleased at his overtures.
