CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE

Harry Symone always does the
right thing, Annie" said Dick as he
heard of his beautiful gift 10 Margaret
Anne. Were thinking Of running
him for mayor next spring. Tell Tim
that It would be a good thing II he
would pass the word around among
his friends"
"It's mesilf that'll do that, Mr.. Dick,
and I'll tell the women about it., too.
Ay course, you won't give It away,
but down in our ward, Mr.. Dick, most
of our men vote the way their wives
want them to. Most OF us know more
about what the boss is doing for the
ward than do our husbands. They do
be talking big about why they are
going to vote for, but l notice last
fall they defeated that rascally lawyer
for the judges place, although they
say he Is a good Democrat and prom
ised everything to the gang, and by
the same token 1t was because or
those same promises that he was beat
en-. We women have decided at our
mothers meetings that we'll beat up
that gang. We don't want our ward
to be run by liquor dealers and men
who own the houses Of i'll fame.
Last fall we commenced and we
did up that would:be Judge all right"
"What do you think about giving
women the franchise, Annie?" asked
Dick.
well, you see, Mr.. Dick, I don't
know much about it, but I'll tell We
one thing, It 'ud be good for u ward
IL the women could vote, for some Of
the men still cling to that barrel
house gang, Notwithstanding all their
wives can say"
Do you think their women would
have courage enough to vote against
their husbands, Annie?"
Wouldn't they? Some OF the wo.
men down there would be 20 glad to
vote against them that I believe they
would crawl on their hands and
knees to the polls IL they couldn't get
there any other way"
How does Tim feel about your
voting?.
"well ye know Tins got sense, and
he says II he can trust me to run his
house and his baby and himself, he
he can trust me to have a
voice in the affairs OF the city and
nation.r

NEW YORK SYMPHONY
 ORCHESTRA CONCERT
To Be Given at Slater Hall April B.
 Miss Jamieson to Assist.

The great musical event of the sea- son, and one of the greatest musical treats that has ever been offered a music loving public, will be the con- cert by the New York Symphony or chestra, 50 pieces, Walter Damrosch conductor, which will take place in Slater Memorial hall Monday evening, April 5.
 Walter Damrosch of the New York Symphony orchestra, though only 52 years old, has been for many years the Dean of American Conductors;'' and in his 30 years as director of the New York Symphony has brilliantly contin- ued the work of his father, Dr. Leopold Damrosch, who founded this great mu- sical organization.
 MT. Damrosch not only gave Ameri- ca it's first Beethoven festival and the first performances of many of the sym phonic EorkS of Brahms, Tscha1koW- sky, SibSlius and Elgar, but also, since 1907, the modern French school has received much of his attention and sympathetic interest in the presenta- ton of the works of Debussy, Dukas, Enesco, Chausson and Rave1. He has also encouraged American art by the production of many works of native composers.
 Nearly all of the famous foreign art ists who came to this country during the last 30 years have made their first American orchestra appearance with the New York Symphony orchestra, Among them may be mentioned Lilli Lehman, Ignace Paderewski, Fritz Kreisler, Sarasate. d'Albert, Bloom
