" YOUR WIFE IS YOUR sTENoG.
RAPHER.

Copyright, 1915 by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
"Oh. why should love get in a stew,
Conclude with Cupid's curse! D.
They that do change old love for new
Pray gods they change for worse"
II you were to ask a goodly number
ef the wives of business men what they
would be. could they but be touched
by some good fairy's wand and turned
into what they would. 1t is not a queen
OF fashion they would yearn to be-
come, nor yet a glorious star in the
theatrical armament, or silver-throated
songstress' laurels would they crave.
II their one aspiration could be real
ized, 1t would be TO become a stenog-
rapher in hubby's office. He pays $40
per week to the other arm in his Of
hce;" wiley would gladly the
same duties for half that amount
he need pay her only what he had
mind to II business was duh.
The average wife wonders why nus
hands would not jump at such an Of
Ter from their heartmates. She coulC
hang family pictures around and
about the office, making II look for all
the world like home. He would have
some one TO confide in when perplexeo
and needing advice, such as only an in
terested woman could give; hold his
head when ii ached dreadfully, and
whisper CHEEKY consolation when he
was most In need Of it. 1t would dc
away with the necessity Of his having
to explain at home why he remained
In his office so late, and allowed his
soft heart to be touched by Mrs. Tom
Dick and Harry, who wandered int
his office according to his story tc
collect money for distant heather, this
that and the other thing to which he
could not we'll help contributing. 4.
And then his business affairs. The
majority of wives are usually at sea
and In "a fog concerning that which Is
OF such vial concern to them. II they
were but his stenographers, they could
keep a bead on his income and what
the outgo was for. He wouldn't have
to send out for ice cream and cake fol-
luncheon for his Wife-a sandwich
and a cup Of tea would suffice her.
And then wouldn't it be delightful
90 have wife coming and going with
him. Hubby then could have thC
backbone to resent Indignantly thf
ogiing and smiles cast his way or
street and in car by designing females
He'd save temper, money and honor,
perha :. by such an arrangement.
Of course, she'd have to run home
now and then to see If the baby in
nurse girls charge was all right, and
an hour or so on the day the Dun
q n or somebody else were to call.
She couldn't miss the Wednesday
matinee, and then the marketing
shed have to slip away from the Of
fice awhile every morning to attend to
that
One week in hubby's office would
teach the average wife that there's no
place like dear, old, sweet home for
her. 1ll. r." :

Russia In Wartime.

stephen Graham In the March Atlantic.
I have now just returned to London
after a year in Russia, after three
months of Russia in wartime, and I am
surprised at the difference In atmos-
phere. There Is an unmistakahle de-
preston In London. Among those who
have no personal stake In the war,
no one lighting in the trenches, no one
drilling, no n serving on special duty,
there Is q certain amount Of apathy
and pessimism. But In Russia there is
no apathy. There the whole atmosphere
is one of eagerness end optimism. They
are full of thankfulness for the things
the war has brought to Russia; n&-
tional enthusiasm, national tenderness,
national temperance and moral unan-
unity. The war has closed the vodka
cidal strife with Poland; It has shown
to the world and To themselves the
simple strength and bravery Of the
Russian soldiers and the new sobriety
and efficiency of their officers. It has,
in fact, given q real future to Russia
to think about; 1t has shed, as from
= great lamp, light on the great road
OF Russian destiny, Russians have al
ways dimly OWNED that they were a
young nation Of genius they have held
faith In themselves despite dark hours;
but now they feel confirmed and GER
cain OF their destiny; Of their progress
rom being an Ill cemented patchwork
If countries to being a single body feel
ing In all limbs the beat OF a single
ness and vast iliteracy to being con-
hdent possessors of a strong voice in
the counsels of nations; Of their prog
ress from denial and anarchism and
individual obstinacy to affirmation, CO.

The Cottage Home

There's money in apartments and it is easy living
in them there's loss to the city and loss to the
family and loss the spirit of FL Paso in changing too
completely from the cottage idea to the apartment idea
For all the years the town has been growing to
its present big city estate marked characteristic Of the
place that every stranger noticed and that FL Pasoans
rather took as matter of course this: that the
houses are not built blocks, has the apartment
idea possessed the town It has always been city Of
comfortable homes brick cottages with plenty OF porches,
and substantial handsome big homes, at least bit Of
grass and strip Of garden for everybody and generally
glimpse Of mountain OF mesa and plenty OF sky over
head.
To exchange this idea for the apartment flush to the
street and street cars with grass sky and probably
no glimps of mountain line, is a bad trade.
