SHALL MARRIED WOMEN WORK?

the married -woman's right to economic
individuality, to personal freedom, to
choice of occupation, to limit her daily
tasks at will by four walls or the four
winds of heaven.
Thinkers interested in the race as
whole rather than in any single section
of it approve the idea as tending toward
universal reverence for what, after all,
represents woman's highest service for
humanity. When marriage means moth
erhood it means also. In the main, an
absorbing and comparatively permanent
occupation. Discussion of whether or no
this occupation may be successfully fol-
lowed by another, and which, where
choice becomes necessary, may be most
wisely selected, cannot fail to attach to
motherhood the sacredness hitherto less
actual than romantic.
Serious novelists do not, from the very
nature of things. outrun or precede pub
lie opinion. They must, on the other
hand keep step with the public trend in
order to observe and record it. That the
problem of "Shall the Married Woman
Work?" now occupies novelistic attention
means that it has become vitality I'M
portant to the thinking world.

New Orleans Prosperon.

New Orleans is in an exceedingly
prosperous condition." said j. w. Allen,
formerly of Birmingham, and now a res
ident of that city who is registered at
the Tutwiler. Il have always been a
strong booster for Birmingham and al
ways will be. The city changes every
time l make trip here Birmingham is
totally different from New Orleans. The
people of that city are of the old south
ern type and they still have the habit Of
enjoying life at all times
Business is transacted in a business
like manner, but at the same time there
is an air of sociability about the dealings
of the business people. There are many
amusements in New Orleans and the city
is liberal. This winter there will be a
greater number of northern tourists than
ever before in the history of the Crescent
City. The various commercial organiza-
tons are pulling together to get this
business, which undoubtedly adds to the
life and prosperity Of the city. Their
efforts have been met with success thus
far. I think Birmingham could be more
of a tourist city if more careful treat
ment were given those from the north
and west who come here"

Neither Scotland nor Ireland can claim
to have invented the bagpipes. Greeks,
Romans, Assyrians and Chinese all
played bagpipes of sorts long before the
time of Christ, and the instrument ac-
tua1ly figures on one of the coins of
Nero, who may have played it. The
Breton bignon, the Calabrian zampogna,
the German sackpfeife and the French
cornemeuse are all bagpipes under diff
ferent names.
1t was actually a Scotchman, and no
less man than the lord advocate of the
time, who publicly declared so years ago
that 1.-THE bagpipe is an English instru-
ment, essentially English; the English
were the orr ginal bagpipers." He pointed
out that, while Shakespeare often speaks
of bagpipes, he never does so in Mac

Y7NASMUCH as 100 persons attended
the unexampled house party in Nc
q Lean county. at which Arthur Hay

at a house party will be surprised at
the killing.

DANGERS OF HOUSE PAR TIES

At some house parties the guests are
led to drink. At others they are driven
to drink, but at all house parties the
men drink for diversion or in self-de-
tense if anything drinkable is served or
has been brought along. And men-hogse
party going men-are provident in such
matter.
| OF course, both men had been drink
| ing, if they were human.
Witnesses agree that the two men were
neighbors and had been warm friends.
Neighbors and friends go to house par
| ties, but they are not, necessarily. or
commonly, friends by the time the house
party breaks up. Bloodshed is rare as
feature Of house parties in polite So
ciety, but bad blood is bred by them. In
circles less restrained than those of the
more effete social capitals what could be
more natural than bloodshed at a house
party?
The verdict of the coroner's jury is non-
committaL The jurors cannot be censured
for being noncommittal in such case.
If they were among the guests they are
in a position to take a broad. If not
sympathetic, view of the action of any
guest overcome by temptation to kill
another guest And they must have been
guests in house party of 100 in
sparsely settled section.
There Is but one suggestion which
seems allowable and that is that the
coroners jury might have showed sense
OF justice, and at the same time revealed
an understanding of house parties, if it
had returned a verdict that the deceased
died a natural death as result Of hay

parties expressing himself in the pres

The incident should be warning to
the Hospitality inclined. House parties
should have maximum of numerical
strength. observed rigidly. AL guests
should either be searched for arms or

should be fair play, upon the part of the

which the house party becomes unendur-

The Orkney Islands do not really be-
long to Great Britain in the sense that
they were ever coded by treaty or ac-
quired by conquest. They were simply
transferred by Denmark to Scotland in
1853, in pledge for the payment of the
dowry of the Princess of Denmark, who
was married to James III, King Of Scot
land. In the deed of transfer, which is
still in existence. 1t is specially men
toned that Denmark shall have the
right to redeem them at any future
time by paying the original amount OF
the dowry with interest to date.
There is no likelihood. however, that
Denmark will ever attempt to exercise
her right of redemption, because 10000
florins, the original amount of the
dowry, plus compound interest for AS
years, would amount to perhaps a tril-
lion pounds. and that is a bit, more
than the islands are worth
