REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
What Happened at the Restaurant.
By ADELE GARRIGON

What Happened at the Restaurant.
 The chicken salad is very good today.'' The waiter bent defer cntially toward my motherin Jaw. We were sitting at a table near the fireplace in Fraunccs' Tavern, the old pre-revolutionary inn of downtown New York, which has been restored ry the Sons of the Revolution.
 Have you ever eaten the chicken salad here?" The elder Mrs. Graham totally ignoring the man at her elbow.
 Yes, indeed, and I have found it very good," I replied. My mother-in- law sniffed. There isn't a restaur- ant cook in the world who can pre- rare chicken properly, even for salad,'' she said decidedly.
 Her tones were clear and carried halfway across the room. number of diners turned and stared frankly at us, and some of them could not conceal their smiles at my militant companion.
 To me there is nothing so painful as to be the object of attention in public place. But from my slight OK rericncc with my husbands mother, ] think I can count upon being sub jected to many wondering Starcs if l accompany her on her trips.
 The elder Mrs. Graham has DO thought for the opinion of any one save herself. Whatever she wishes to do she does with royal disregard of criticism, which would be superb if it were not so annoying.
 l wondered idly if this charactcris- tic of hers was not one reason why Diclzy had shifted the conducting o1 her sightseeing trip from his shoul- ders to mine.
 "What else is thcre?" Mrs. Graham turned to the waiter with a move ,oent so quick and imperative that it brought him to attention as if he were soldier.
 Almost everything, ma'em he rnurmured "Crab flake salad, lobster salad-'
 My mother-in-lav cut him short. "I do not mean salads. l mean meats"
 He was evidently an inexperienced waiter, for he fumbled with the menu card and started to look through the list of meats. His slow movements seemed to exasperate the elder Mrs Graham, for she took the card from his hand and put up her lorgnette
 If this is a specimen of the ser vice." she commented acldly It strikes me that the diners who had Sam Fraunces for host were much better off than we are.

 London, March 22.-Great Britain's annual income has increased by 0O,OO0,0O0 pounds ($3,000, ,0O0,O00) since the beginning of the war. This was the statement made by Sir
 George Paish, the well-known tinan- cial authority in a lecture on war finance delivered before the ROya StatistiCan society. The nations total income, he said, was now $3,000, 000,- GOO.
 Great Britain, said the speaker, has nearly succeeded in maintaining it's productive power despite the with drawal of approximately 100000 men from it's industries. It had called In half 8 billion pounds of it's capital from abroad since the opening of hos 't1ities. nearly all of this, however. having been used to make fresh loans to foreign countries and colonies If allowance were made for the i'm crease in the country's gold stock, Sir George said, the nation would he found to have succeeded in meeting virtually the whole of it's war eXpen

Officia1 Calcula tions of the new taxation imposed up. to the present tune amounts to 1O7,531. .0O0 pounds, and Sir George estimated that the taxation in the coming year will reach nearly 45O, 100000 pounds.
 On the whole, the speaker said. tho 1 hurder of taxation was light consider ing the circumstances and compared with the burden the country bore during the NapoIeonic wars. The na- tional debt before the war was TOT, 100000 pounds. It would be 2.4O0.000,o 900 pounds by the end of March, Sir George added. and if the war continued another year it would be pot far short of 4,OOO, 1000, 900 pounds

SUBMARINE OF QUIET POND
Swapping Turtle Often Sinks SWIM
ming Duck and Makes Leisure
Iy Meal. ~@

Ever see duck, swimming along q
pond quite peacefully, suddenly disap-
pear beneath the surface of the water?
You may have suspected that the duck
had some enemy submarine lurking in
the pond-and you were right The
name of the attacking submarine is
swapping turtle.
He lives in rivers and lakes through
out the United States, usually in deep
water. He has big head and long
taii-the long tail providing a very
safe and convenient handle to pick
him up by. At least, you'll find it
safest if you ever come in contact with
his jaws.
The snapper's jaws are fitted with
pair Of sharp blades which come to-
gether with click like steel trap. A
large snapper has sufficient power in
his, jaws to amputate mans finger.
AS for the duck, she hates him like
poison. A snapper will sometimes
seize duck by the leg and draw her
completely under water to eat at his
leisure.
A common size for snappers is about
fifteen inches, including head and tail,
with a shell about nine inches long
They lay their eggs in a hole scooped
out in the sand. Both the eggs and the
flesh of this turtle are excellent food
so good that they often masquerade on
restaurant menus as "terrapin."

New York, Dee. l6.-New York is
rolling, revelling, rollicking in wealth.
This is ''never before in history
story.
New York banks today held reserves
of 1916, 1874 200 and from every quar-
ter of the globe money is pouring in
actual yellow gold by the millions to
be changed from the coin of other ma
tions into the cola of the Z. $. A.
Wall Street has become a gambling
table on TO which is being thrown
money from the earnings, winnings and
savings of Americans and money from
the golfers Of kings.
While the large majority of New
York's six millions are fighting the
universal, desperate battle with the
high cost of living, on the surface 1t
appears that everybody has money to
spend They are spending it for neces'
stiles and Injuries.
Forty or more blocks in Manhattan
are given over entirely to that ancient
trio, wine, women and song. Wal
bride dividends have given night time
Broadway a new life. Men whose busi
ness it is to take money from spend
ers say they never were able to take
90 much Of it before.
Babylon Not In It.
Ancient Babylon could be set down
inside New York's winter pleasure
grounds without being noticed; Ne
buchadnezzar wouldn't have reputa
tion outside Of his own block.
Cabarets have sprung up like mush
rooms and dance halls thrive as il
any new gold camp.
'Business is three times as big al
the biggest we ever saw before tins
season. said the manager Of th'
largest cabaret in the city.
Hotels are crowded, theaters are sole
cut. Crowds, that the "shOp early
slogan do not account for fill the de
partment stores.
Warehouses are depleted of stocks
and deliveries are far behind.
New York is spending ITS money anC
getting what it can for it.
But it keeps pouring in.
