"If the husband of a married teacher
becomes mentally or physically incapaci-

effect with the Board of Education, she can
be reappointed at her former salary. The
proper authorities must be satisfied, now

CORNERSTONE LAYING
OF HOSPITAL TOMORROW
Archbishop Prendergast and Governor
Brumbaugh Will Attend

Archbishop Prendergast will lay the cor
nerstone of the new Misericordae Hospital.
Fifty-fourth street and Cedar avenue, to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock The pres
ence of the leader OF the Catholics in the
city, as we'll as rectors of many Catholic
churches in this and nearby cities and
delegations of prominent laymen, promises
70 make this event one of the most note
worthy Catholic affairs OF the year.
Governor Brumbaugh is among those who
have promised TO talk tomorrow which date
was chosen because II is the feast Of Our
Lady of Mercy and the patronal feast OF
the nuns who will administer the hospital
when Il is completed.
Though built by Catholics. it will be open
10 all denominations. IL is less than year
since Archbishop Prendergast broke ground
for the hospital.

tions their bad ones. Men are naturally
acauisitive, impelled TO work for gain
and gold, gain and more gain, gold and
more gold. Unable TO deter them from
this impulse, we turn II TO an unselfsh
end; that is we let them support us, pre-
serving for their sakes the fiction that we
are too frall TO support ourselves. IL
they had neither child nor wife, men
would still be rolling up wealth. but II is
very much better for their characters
that they should suppose they are work
ing for their families rather than for
themselves. We might be Amazons. but
for mems own sakes we refrain from what
would be for ourselves a selfish indulgence
in vigor.
Man Is not only naturally acquisitive,
but is naturally ostentatious of his ac.
auisitions. Having bled for his baubles
he wishes to put them on and strut in
them. Again we slip in and redirect his
impulse. We put on his baubles and
strut for him. We let him think that our
delicate physique is better fitted for
jewels and silks than his sturdier
frame.
mot only for the moral advantages
gained by men in supporting us do won.
en- preserve the fallacy Of physical feeble
ness, but also for the spiritual exaltation
men may enjoy by protecting us and
resculng us from perils. The truth is
that women are not really afraid of any
thing. but perceive how much splendid
incentive would be lost to the world IL
they did not pretend to be.
"The universally OF the mouse fear
proves its prehistoric origin, showing
how consistently and successfully women
have been educating men in heroism in
earliest times it probably required a
whole dinotherium ramping at the cave
mouth to induce primitive man to draw a
weapon in his mates defense, but now to
evoke the quintessence of chivalry all a
woman has to do is to hop on a chair
at the sight of a mouse"
In other words. instead of having been,
as feministic writer has dubbed us.
''the worlds worst failures" we women
have made a pretty neat job of the work
set out for us-that of making real he.

is exactly my attitude toward your query.
The field of interior decoration is no more
crowded than the many other fields into
which the modern woman has projected
herself.
The question of salary will be dependent
entirely upon what you have to offer and
the firm 10 which you offer it, 1t would be
impossible to tell you the yearly increase
an interior decorator could be certain of.
That, OF course would be dependent also
upon her. Why don't you go to an interior
decorator OF big reputation in Philadelphia
and ask him or her to tell you about the
practical side of the profession before re-
linquishing your present job?
