Confessions ofaWife

"Oh, guess nothing more than
usual. Margie, l wish that before
a woman married she had to take
the responsibility of family on
her shoulders; she certainly would
have more consideration for the
man of the house afterward. In
the first place, there is, as you
know, always office politics and
office jealousy. The man that's
on a salary always knows that
there is someone Just below him
who thinks he could do the work
and spend the salary that is his
better than he can himself. Talk
about the petty details OF house
keeping and how hard It is to
keep household help, there is
nothing pettier or more monot-
onous than the details of a big
business. You need not look sur
prised-the details which go to
make up big newspaper are mo-
notonous and there is always more
or less friction.
A man must be worried to
death at times. and then to come

home and have some woman who
knows nothing about his worries
prattle away must drive him wild.
You see | am getting just that.
While | try to do the very best
work | can and am certainly turn
ing in more copy each day than
most of the men in the place,
there is belief prevalent in the
office that l am holding my job
because Pat Sullivan is personally
fond of me.
Every dub reporter whose pay
envelope is not as fat as mine
wants my job and does not mind
STOPPING to underhand methods to
get it."
"Mollie, do you mean to tell me
that the men are jealous of your
business ability?"
mot of my business ability,
Margie. for no man will own up
even to himself, that you have
any, but men are envious of any
thing you possess that they want,
and IL a woman by any POSSIBLE
ity is able to earn over $25 a
week, let her look out; she is a
target.
"Margie, a woman must work
harder for what she gets than a
man. l do about twice as much
as9a man would have to do to
earn my salary, but sometimes,
dear, don't blame men for re-
senting the woman In business.
Most of them have wives and fam
dies to support who have not the
slightest ideas of appreciation of
their struggles. You see, | have
found this out with mother. She
thinks 1t is strange when i am
getting such a good salary that |
won't let her dip into 1t whenever
she feels like 1t. She adds to my
worries every day and l can't tell
her any of my outside worries"
what Is the particular one to-
day, Mollie?"
well, have Just heard that
how that Chadwick Hatton has
gone away Mollie Waverly ia

van so that she can hold her job.

Cruze, Thanhouser star, who aD-
peared at the Melbourne theater

q, 1888. To be exact, he is 80
years four months and one day
old.
Holmgren, the lucky rerson tC
send the first correct answer
guessed 32 years. He was the
third answer to be received by the
Movie Editor, and arrived at The
Times office at 1871 D. m. last
Thursday. There were six other
correct answers, but they came in
later than Holmgren's.
The most popular guesses were
30, 33 and 38 years. But the
guesses ranged from 16 to SIS
Several persons attempted to
name the day and hour when
Cruze was born, but were many,
many years off the correct time.
Cruze looked over several OF
the answers personally when he
was here Monday, and expressed
surprise that so many persons
overestimated his age. He ex-
planned, however, that he had
been on the stage or in the moviee
since he was Is, and had fire.
quently appeared in "old man
roles, so that it was natural the
public should imagine him to be

years were: Margaret Smith
