ALFONSO IN
PARIS DESPITE
DEATH THREAT
Secret Service Men Take Ex-
ira PreCautiOn to Guard
Spain'S King
SEEKS COMMERCIAL
ENTENTE WITH FRANCE
BY the United Press.

BY the United Press.
PARIS, May 7-Undcterred by the
discovery Of an alleged anarchist plot
to assassinate him, King Alfonso
XIII Of Spain, arrived here today for
a state visit of three days to Presi-
dent Poincare, of France.
Il is the first time that the Spanish
ruler has officially visited Paris
since 1905, when he was the guest Of
President Loubet, on which occasion
anarchists hurled a bomb at him that
missed the King, but injured 2S per-
sons in the crowd watching his car
riage
In view of the recent attempt on
King Alfonsos life in Madrid, and the
Montpelier discovery of two days
ago that resulted in the arrest Of six
men in Barcelona and Bordeaux, the
police and secret service men are
taking extraordinary precautions to
guard the King during his stay.
While in Paris, King Alfonso and
President Poincare will talk over a
proposed commercial and industrial
entente between France and Spain,
which. it is said, will in a way be
like the triple entente now binding
France with Great Britain and Rus
sia.
A military review. a state dinner,
at the Presidents palace and night
at the opera are among the enter
tainments planned for the King.
The newspaper La Patrie today
says that the revolutonists plan to
make a big demonstration today be-
fore the Spanish embassy.
Two anarchist newspapers this at
ternoon issued lurid extras. urgin1
in violent language that a demonstra-
ton be made against King Alfonso.

When She Plans to Wed
By DOROTHY DIX.

Gghtwad husband. and still another has
grown nervous and peevish. and is a
fretful mother Of fretful babes And it
doesn't seem to little Miss Bookkeeper,
or little Miss Cashier that there is any
particular allurement in the fate Of
these ladies to make anyone else yearn
to follow in their footsteps.
Also there is the other side Of the
picture. Every normal woman wants
a husband. and home, and children OF
her own, and the only way she can
secure them is by marrying, and max
ing the sacrifices that marriage de-
mands That is the price she has TO
pay. and it is for her to decide whether
she is willing 10 give it,
A New Man.
OF course. in time this problem will
settle itself In the process of evolu-
ton there will be developed a new man
to be the fitting mate Of the new woman,
and he will look on all these domestic
questions with wiser eyes than the man
Of the present day.
He will see that 1t is Just as unfair
to ask a woman TO give up the work
become financially dependent on him,
as It would for her to demand that he
should change his profession because he
married her, and become dependent on
her
Why should the man, for instance,
who marries an actress insist upon her
leaving the stage? or why should the
man who marries business woman ex-
pect her to become a housekeeper when
she may have financial ability of the
first order, and be the poorest cook that
ever made a pan Of adamantine bis
cuits7
The rich man who can supply the
financial equivalent Of his w.fe's earn
ings has some sort Of justification in
requiring her to decide between a mar
rage ring and her job, but certainly
the poor man has none. As long as his
wife must work TO help him it is no
more than right that she should be
permitted to do the work that is easiest
and most agreeable to her
But men don't look at the subject
this way. The average mans vanity
requires the sacrifice of his wife's pub
lie career. He wants her to work for
him as hard as she can, but he wants
1t done behind closed doors where no.
body can see II, so that he will have
an opportunity to pose around and talk

Therefore the working girl who mar

Job and her husband. One of these, a
young woman who has built up by her
self a profitable business that will make
her independently rich in a few years,
asks me If she should give it up to get

answer for herself Some men are worth

In a Cupboard.

Even Tennyson was careless with
regard to his manuscripts and seemed
to despise them. Some weeks after
leaving his lodgings at Mornington
Place, Hampstead, he wrote from
Barchurch to Coventry Patmore, the
author of The Angel in the House"
asking him casually to go along some
time to his late lodgings and see if
he could find his book of Elegies-a
long. butcher, ledger-ike book" as he
described it. Patmore went, and the
landlady gave him permission to
search the poets old room. There. in
a cupboard in which TennysOn had
kept his tea and butter, Patmore
found the book, full Of verses. 1t
was the unpublished manuscript Of
In Memoriam," Tennyson's master
piece.
Edward Fitzgerald was utterly care
less of his fame. He lived to be an
old man, yet not one in a million Of
his fellow countrymen regarded him
as a poet, even if they had heard his
name mentioned as an old chum Of
Alfred Tennyson. Yet he wrote The
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam' long

Browning receive nothing for it orig

Yet so highly did Rossetti think Of
this despised masterpiece that, not
being able to find a copy elsewhere
he went to the British Museum Ii
brary and spent several laborious
days copying it word for word!
Mrs. Browning was so careless as
to the fate of her works that it is
a wonder that any of them have sur

a devoted husband after marriage, it

THERE is no doubt that life grows
more and more complex. especially
for women, and the more doors Of
opportunity that stand ajar for
them the more difficult 1t is to choose
the particular one behind which they
will md happiness.
Take the marriage problem, for in
stance. Heretofore that has simply been
Hobson's choice with a girl. and the
only trouble she had was In deciding
which one Of her suitors she would take
Now, however, II isn't so much a
question of the rival attractions Of two
men as It is Of the man and his job,
and when you see a pretty maiden
Plucking at the petals of a daisy she
is not saying with the poetical heroine,
he loves me, he loves me not" but
she is asking the fates whether she shall
give up good situation for a problem
atical husband.
Laugh not at her. Hers is a very real
dilemma that a man is spared. Mar
riage does not cut him of from the
work he loves, the profession he has
ntted himself for, the success he is be-
Ing. He just adds a wife and the com
forts Of a home to all the other good
things he has. A wife is plus with him.
But husband is minus everything ex-
cept affection to the business and pro-
fessional woman. When she marries it's
a case Of all for love. and the balance
OF the things she cares for lost. She
has to give up her business OF profess
sion, or else carry 1t on in the half
hearted style that means failure. She
has to sacrifice her independence, her
ambition, her JOY in the work that she
has prepared herself for, and that was
the breath Of her life TO do
Give Up Work.
More than that. she has to give I'D
the line Of work that she prefers. and
do the sort of work that she probably
doesn't like, for which she has no nat
ural aptitude, and in which she is to-
tally unskilled
OF course it's the custom to ignore
these plain and simple facts, and to
rhapsodize over the joy of having your
own little home. But the expert and
highly paid stenogra pher or teacher, who
exchanges nice desk in office or school
room, and a fat pay envelope for the
drudgery OF a kitchen, and the soul.
narrowing experience Of trying to get
along on less than half Of the money
she has been accustomed to live on, may
be pardoned II she casts a few regret
full glauces at her past estate.
Nor is it to be wondered at that the
working girl debates within herself
whether she shall exchange Il perfectly
good job for the doubtful happiness Of
matrimony. She visits around among
the young married women who were her
associates in store or office, and she
notes that this one is shabby; that that
ones hands are sodden with the water
Of the washtub and SCARED with burns
from the gas range; that another has to
wheedle every cent she has out Of her
