This is the explanation which Mrs.
Ellis gave me of her own time
defying romance.
my husband and I have always
been free human beings. she
summed up. "and our marriage has
been based on nothing but ro-
mantle love.
Each of US has been self-sup-
rorting. Each has had an individ-
nal dwclling-tlace. Each has done
creative work, without interfer-
ence or assistance from the other

other. We have met only when we
wanted to meet. and the result is
that we are even moro deSirVns OF
hcing together now than we were
twenty-five years ago.
we have simply reversed the
usual procedure. Instead of being
inseparably domestic at the begin
ming of our marriage and then
growing apart, we have all along
preserved our individual freedom,
and we are now planning for a
happy old age in the same little
cottage"

asked "It reminds me Of the old
Spartan law, forbiddinS the hus-
band to see his wife except by

And then Mrs. Ellis made what
seems to mo her most valuable
contribution to the philosophy OF
marital happiness.

Mrs. Carolyn b. Shelton.

Washington, March 12.-Mrs. Car
olyn B. Shelton, secretary to Senator
George E. Chamberlain of Oregon and
clerk to the senate committee on for
eign affairs, is the only woman now on
the senate rolls who at one time has
been acting governor" of big state.
RMS. Shelton enjoyed the distinction
of being an active governor some
years ago, when Mr.. Chamberlain was
governor of Oregon. There was no
such office as lieutenant governor in
that state at that time. The constitu-
ton provided that in the absence of
the governor his secretary should be
acting governor" 1t was only in the
event of the death of the chief execu-
tive that the secretary of state sue
ceeded to the governorship. Many
times during the temporary absences
of Governor Chamberlain Mrs. Shelton
was acting governor.
In 1909 Chamberlain was elected to
the United States senate, and on Feb.
81 of that year he left for Washington
to take his oath of Office. not yet hav-
ing relinquished his governorship. Ac-
cordingly, for a week Mrs. Shelton was
Mrs. Governor"
Despite her career as woman OF
affairs, Mrs Shelton is essentially
feminine, and not bit militant. She
is prone to attribute her success TO
the fact that she entered Chamber
lain's office as a stenographer before
he entered public life and remained
with him for IS years.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

| Black chip hats, as a rule, only
need oiling. Use a little sweet oil
and rub it off with a piece of black
velvet.
When washing white chanois
gloves the yellowish look they often
get can be avoided by rubbing them
with the white of an egg while they
are still wet.
When ripping old garments use a
small steel crochet hook for pulling
out the threads and the work will be
twice as easy. Use this for pulling
out the hastings, also.
A mixture of salt and flour will re-
move mud stains.
