" WV problem will be facing the men
 " and women of England, and that is the matrimonial one.
 It has been estimated that at the end of the European struggle Great Britain will lose 1,5oo.o00 men--killed or perma- nently disabled.
 The problem of the older women who can never find a mate will then be ac- centuated a hundredfold.
 Lady Troubridge, prominent figure in London society. and we'll known novel; ist, can see only one solution of the riddle and that lies in the stand which the women of England must take.
 The English women must become self supporting" she declares, "and they must strain every nerve not to take work from the heroes who return. but to step into the places of those who have fallen. They must acquire Cit is a case of musD that technical training, that thoroughness of application that is supposed to belong principally to men workers. Work Is the panacea for every evil under the sun and whatever women may lose of life's deep est joys and sorrows. no woman who is economically independent or earning her own living honestly need be unhappy. For her the sun will shine and the flowers bloom just as for her married sister. The world of art is hers and the solace of re- ligion. She must learn to be happy though not married. And there Is silver lining to this cloud, matrimonially speak ing. Many men were bachelors from choice and not necessity, and for want of seriousness they avoided the responsi- bilities of married life The war will change all this; 1t has already changed 1t. as announcements of many marriages already show. When death is to be faced, a man knows who 1t Is he really cares for; there is an end to nonsense and self de- ception. As in great picture by Watts, Life and Death go hand in hand, while Eternity broods over them both" Such statements coming from a woman of the type, position and education of Lady Troubridge, sets one to thinking, and one of the first thoughts suggested

support one wife, let alone more.
 The thing. it is plainly seen, that the
 English women must now do in order to
 be prepared to meet the conditions after
 the war is over is to cultivate the talents
 they possess and seek their happiness in
 work and some chosen vocation.
 Tehere Is no dearth of occupations to
 choose from, and that girls can do some
 of the work hitherto performed by men
 has been clearly and most efficiently dem onstrated.
 Every girl in Great Britain must face the problem and apply herself seriously , to it.
 There must be no more wasted hours in the life of the girls of the leisure classes. They must realize that existence has now taken on different and deeper meaning, and that life is real and some times desperately earnest. The sef-supporting woman. as Lady Troubridge sees her, is the one who will be enved after the war is over. not to be pitied as many might suppose, and the grave social problem which may rise in days to come after the heart-rending
 struggle that is now going on will be met by the women of England as it was met by the women of America in days gone by when devastation and waste and hunger and thirst assailed them from the same ravages of relentness war, with an un- daunted spiritl

Is that the women of England are now passing through a great transition pe- riod.
 The old order of things is being swept away, and a new one taking it's place.
 The society butterflies especially are not prepared for it, for they have been brought up to think that marriage is their ultimate goal-the solution of life's riddle for women, and now they must face the fact that half of their generation of the male sex is being swept away.
 Not being well versed in politics, Lady Troubridge goes on to say, T cannot estimate what preponderance of women over men will be, but whatever it may be, it will do away with the certainty

DOMESTIC FINANCE

Monetary Complications and Labor Troubles Elements
 of Business Uncertainty

New York. August 2o.-Dun's will say tomorrow:
 International monetary complica-
 tions and disturbances in the ranks of
 labor constitute the chief clements of uncertainty in the general situation. There is, however, nothing either un- sound or disquieting in strictly do-
 mestic finance and though further con- ;roversies between employers and wage
 earners have arisen. serious and pro- tracted troubles have thus far been averted. The foreign exchange prob- loms, which attract much attention, are essentially those of the belligerent na lions abroad and affect this country may be impeded unless relief is af- forded. Recent importations of gold failed to check the depreciation of
 european funds in.the New York mar net and more effective means will be necessary to correct changes that are wholly lacking in precedent. Negota- tions are under way with this end in view, but the exact nature of the remedial measures to be adopted re- mains largely matter of conjecture. Because it was attended by consider able loss of life and destruction of property, the most adverse advent of 1 the week was the storm that com pletely isolated several cities along the
 coast of Texas. Shipping and railroad
 traffic suffered and growing cotton
 was damaged, though to what extent l is not definitely known. Otherwise
 leading crops are doing finely. Gross | earnings of roads reporting for the first week of August made a better
 showing than for the same period of
