Queen Mary is a poor conversation
alist- On some one being brought up
to her it is said she will begin to talk
with remarkable felicity, setting the
other at ease and delighting him.
Then, all OF sudden, she suddenly
ceases. an acute silence supervenes
and the other does not know whether
to break the pause or slip away. The
fact is the queen talks well by dint of
concentration; this does not always

SAYS WIFE is BEST sPENDER
suffrasist Hence Draws Moral That
Women Should Handle Nations
Cash, Too.

London.-That the working class
wife is a more efficient spender OF
the household accounts than her mid
die class sister was the contention Of
Miss Lucy Yates at a recent meeting
of the Women's Freedom League.
She declared that the principle Of a
woman having complete control Of the
house was always recognized by the
working classes, but higher in society
there came a sort of dual control.
Through this responsibility the work
ing wife learned administration, but
by leaning on some one else the mid
die class wife never learned.
The wife, Miss Yates said, should
have complete control Of the whole
OF the money set aside for household
expenses. including housekeeping.
dress and education. There should be
no audit OF her accounts unless by
her request She should be provided
with a checkbook, as more likely to
prove successful than the provision
OF loose coins. which might be cajoled
out Of her purse by tempting bar
gains.
The speaker declared that spending
was a finer art and much more diff
ficult than earning. Women should
also choose the house, and 1t was
high time. according to Miss Yates.
