best in the world and discuss
with each other ways to further
their happiness we are getting
away from the vital part Of life.
Z 1.-The modern woman is at heart
more domestic than she seems and
the subject OF her husband Is per-
haps more fascinating than the
study of Henry James novels or
Hostand's poetry. At social az
fairs she would rather tell a good
joke on her husband than about
someone's trip to Oberammergau
and the other women like better
to hear 1t.
In our rush for what we may
call a wider horizon''--a broader
mental outlook; new field OF
thought and everything which
spells culture and means distrac-
tfon we are simply selling out
birthright for mess of pottage.
Most women OF today are so
eager for worldly knowledge and
SO covetous for unusual popular
ity that they forget the fact:
What shall it profit a woman IL
she gain the whole world and lose
her family?
II was husband" that was un-
der fire at the tea table. Ellis
place In the scheme of creation;
what wife owed to him and
what he owed wife," And most
of all: How shall one retain
his love until loving becoming a
habit so fixed that 1t is impossible
to break it."
One woman told her real re-
ceipt for keeping her husband al
ways her lover and l could see by
the sad faces of many of them
that they had been unable to do
this even with all the advice with
which the magazines and newspa-
pers are filled.
| The subject was pretty we'll
threshed out, however, and con-
sidered 1t was pretty well settled
by the woman who painted por-
traits.
The way for woman to retain
her husbands respect, admiration
and love is to retain her own re-
spect, admiration and love-" she
said.
Every woman should make
herself absolutely Independent of
her husband in 80 far as that she
may spend hours, days, weeks and
months IL necessary without him
and not be unhappy.
| MANY a woman has made a
man perfectly miserable by loving
him too much. A man will chafe
under the binding cords of low
ing woman provided she can see
nothing in the world but him and
her love for him.
| "Become interested in some
I1ffe work as he has and then you
will not have time nor inclination
tozrnagnify HIS little negligences
land thoughtless acts into cruel
tbs.
IA man gets tired Of talking

Waits to live 1t when the other
| gaines of life do not prove more
Interesting"

Dear Miss Grey: Regarding
the qualification remedy for
the divorce evil. ! think 1t
will be: Enough good sense,
obtained from the right edu-
cation to enable us to polish
the rough diamonds most of
us appear to be In the eyes of
our partner until we are per-
feet gems they will be proud
to possess for lifetime.
/ find from a IT years
experience in married life
that the possession of q
greater or less amount of
money has had only a more
or less effect on physical
comfort.
In the results of marriage
coming under my own obser-
walton the greater evils have
happened to those who have
had more than sufficient to
keep them both hustling.
l may say that l have
mixed with people In both
hemispheres from those who
have not worried so much as
to how to cook, as to what
to cook, up to those who
have paid $1,000 a year to
their cook.
Should any who may read
these lines find faults in
marriage, the best thing they
can do before thinking of
divorce Is to consult some
one like Miss rGey, and take
her advice, for I believe that
nothing outside of ourselves
can make a success OF 1t, to
say nothing of an aptitude
for saving money, or cook
ing, though good cooking Is
first aid. Sincerely, @. G.
p. ST. might make the
remark, which ended the Fa-
bian Societies discussion, as
to the line of division be-
tween the fit and unfit
where one line is drawn,
where place the next liner"
Dear Miss Grey: "A. w.
p" on the divorce question
is amusing. Perhaps he
thinks the Thousand" per-
fectly capable Of overcoming
all tendencies toward, Wine,
Woman and Song on the
part OF the husband, and the
certificate of cook able to
perform miracles on friend
wife's temper, possible SLOW
enliness or laxity in money
matters. He doesn't take
temperament into considera-
tion. / wonder: could a re-
fined college professor
(granted he may have saved
the thousand) marry Bridget
(tho' her baking-powder bis
cult are the finest within a
hundred miles) and live hap
PLY ever after?

IL the redder II gets, and

A.-Bathe your neck In cold
water and stop rubbing it until It
gets perfectly well; then apply a
little peroxide well diluted with
water. It IL also good for
freckles. To some skins IL seems

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-Reports tina,

WalLst. today. brought the following
statement from the exchanges board
OF governors;
The plans OF the committee OF FIVE
to resume dealings in stocks on the

board OF governors has been called

One circumstantial report, set al
rest by the boards denial. was that
the governors would meet Monday
and that the exchange would reopen
under restrictions as to minimum
prices resembling those under which
trades In bonds are now permitted
about the latter part OF the week. II
was not denied by governors OF the
exchange that an early re-opening
was being considered. but IL was In
sisted that arrangements have not
reached definite stage.

tCopyright. 1914, by the re"
Evening Post Company
NEW YORK. Dec. 5.--To the nu-
merous other favorable developments
OF the week, in various directlons'
there was added today an extremely
rapid movement OF foreign exchange
In favor of this market The rate
for sight bills, which ended last week
O. AS9 IA, and which stood yester-
day at 4.Ss "A, broke today 10
4.S7 IL. This emphatic action means
one of two things, or, more propaOiy,
means both Of them. Our own POSI-
ton on international account Is be-
coming sound and normal, as a result
OF increasing exports following extern
sive redemption Of our European opil-
cations, and the attitude of financial
Europe towards our market Is be-
coming much more favorable.
In the days trading in securities,
there was little change from the
status OF the past few days, Prices
OF bonds were generally well main
tanned, with some further advances.
II is altogether desirable for the
very point OF view that the stock ex-
change should extend its present ten
tative arrangements as soon as Is
reasonably warranted. to the status
OF a free and open market. Natur-
ally, this does not mean that unre-
stricted trading ought Immediately TO
be adopted, and minimum prices"
abandoned. The stock exchange au-
thorities and the financial commun-
fly are still testing the actual char
acter of complicated financial situa-
ton, whose outcome In relation to
the markets, whether immediate or
ultimate. Is marked out by no clear
precedent In financial history.
