It made you feel good all over

less. including the speeches. Who
would have thought that A P.
Coles could make such a speech
as he did last night2 He was full
Of enthusiasm for his subject and
when he had finished talking he
had filled others with a similar
enthusiasm. 1t was the unbur-
dening of the heart of a man full
Of his subject. Everything about
the meeting was fine and sincere,
but the most sincere tribute OF the
evening was that to W. W. Tur-
ney, the finest Of his life, I think.
when, after his imprisoned plea
for the Red Cross and its great
work, Mrs Turney modestly beck
oned him and whispered. You
may announce my contribution of
five hundred" It was not only
her gift to the work, but it was
her tribute to the earnestness OF
her husband. The work started
with that fine Ell Paso spirit that
promises goal long before the

that the very thought of the clumsy

What he really meant was that he

hearthstone that holds a man down 10

So the woman was cut off from even
the poor feminine refuge OF doilies and

and fusslng over pots and pans and
cooking up elaborate dishes, in which
SO many women find an outlet for their
energies and affections.
There is nothing that you can do in
a vacuum cleaned hotel suite but think
And when woman thinks too much
she gets morbid. That was what hap

That is one way out. The other wa,

A FEW days ago a middle aged
~ woman, her handsome clothes
torn into ribbons, her gray hair
streaming wildly about her face, ran
shrieking through the lobby of the ho-
tel in which she had lived for many
years. When she was caught and over
powered, IT was discovered that she had
gone raving mad. u

people who knew her Here is a WON
an apparently in good health who leads
the easiest possible life III luxurious
hotel, with no work, no responsibilities,
no care, no bother with servants. no

rich and generous husband who gives
her everything that money can buy, and
yet she goes crazy What do you sup

And no one even guessed that the
woman had been driven mad by neglect
and the sheer boredom Of life tina,
had in it neither interest, duty nor
purpose.
The woman's husband wasn't inten-
tionally a bad or a'cruel man He was
just absolutely selfish and incapable
OF perceiving that any other human
being had any rights when they con

that a wife had any claim upon hus
band that went beyond her board and
keep These he lavishly supplied, and
having bought her Paris clothes and
set her down in an expensive suite IN

full duty towards her and that il she
wasn't happy and satisfied it was her
own fault, and because OF the unreasor
Of woman.
Long, long ago sne had ceased to

negligible factor in his life, For the
most part he was mans man, alb.

herself in its interests, and to reap its
rewards'
A woman complained to me not very
long ago that she never saw \ new
play, although she was devoted to the
theater, because her husband would
never take her out at night.
What's the matter with going to
the matinee yourself" asked her.
You've got two perfectly good chances
week to see any play you want to-
and its your own fault If you don't
go"
But apparently this simple solution Of
the problem didn't appeal to the woman
She preferred to stay at home and
feel herself neglected
Another neglected wife, who lived the
life Of hermit, had given up all OF her
friends because her husband never went
OF, with her She didn't seem to realize
that the more he left her alone, the
more necessary It was To her TO keep
in touch with other people and draw
her friends closer about her. SO little
by little she Withdrew from society in
stead OF plunglng into II up to her ears,
and making other people furnish to her
the human contact she missed at home.
The lot OF the neglected wife is. with.
out doubt a sad one, but il is never
so sad as when a woman neglects her
self and fails to make the best OF a
bad bargain.
