She's the Lucky Guy,
Nothing to Do Til 4 a. m.

Milwaukee, Jan. 26. - When Mrs.
John Landusky would get through
tending bar in her husbands saloon. at
one or two o'clock in the morning, she
would have nothing to do until four
o'clock A. NJ.
At least, that's what Mrs. Landusky y
told the court when she filed suit for
a divorce from John. to whom she was
married only last May.
In her complaint Mrs. Landusky says
that she arose daily at four o'clock to
scrub out her husbands saloon. Then
she polished the bar and shined up the
glasses When this was done she did
the housework, prepared the free
lunch, got her husbands meals and
washed dishes. In the evening she
took charge of the bar, serving drinks
until closing time, while her husband
hobnobbled with friends. Mrs Lam
dusky is fifty-four. All she asks is her
freedom.

IMPRESS SHAME OF
DEBT ON YOUNG
Make Them Realize That 1t Is
Wise to Pay as You
Go

Whatever else you may wish to do
for your children and cannot do, you
can at least, impress strongly upon
their young minds the shame of debt.
You can make them realize by
precept and example how much
more admirable it is to go without
things or pleasures than to possess
them a the cost of self-respect and
at another's expense. There can
be no greater benefit bestowed upon
a child than to have these ideas iln-
bedded in the mental consciousness
until they become foundation stones
of the character.
A woman in New York, mother of
two lovely young daughters and
wife of a good man, was ambitious
to shine in certain intellectual
clubs. She was admitted to one of
them and invited friends to be her
guests at a large social function
where an expensive luncheon was
served but when the bills for her
dues and luncheon tickets were pre-
sented she ignored them.
The same woman purchased eX-
pensive material in which to clothe
her daughters. and ignored the bill
until a lawyers letter frightened
her into paying it.
She is only one of hundreds of
women WHO are ureSslh6, ulnlnB
and driving on other peoples

/ trained by her parents or she could
never have descended to such a
level. She had, no doubt, heard her
mother speak admiringly of people
who shone socially and who wore
fashionable garments more fire.
praise the people who refused to
run bills or incur the taxing re-
sponsibility of debt.
The name of an eminent profess
sional man chanced to be mentioned
in a market where a gentleman was
making purchases. The purchaser
spoke highly of the professional
mans intellect. Eyes, he has intel
lect, all right" isaid the market
keeper. but l haven't much use for

"He has owed mo $2s on meat

stopped sending the bill now. He
gives his patronage to other mar

on each one after time, and he is
that way in everything. He owes
everybody, and they all grow tired
of sending hire bills and so he
comes out the winner of a few dol
lars with each party, but he loses
the respect of everybody he deals
with"
This is a shameful record for any
man to have, 1t is open theft and
nothing less There Is no intellec-
tual achievement, no social honor,
which can compensate a man or
woman for such q reputation, 1t Is

Ned stopped and Helen found her
self deeply interested in what he was
saying. OF course he was right in the
main, but it was just impossible for
her to even consider his proposition.
1t all sounded too much like story.
She might have credentials, but when
it came to taking the matter over into
her own hands and deciding it for her
much in love with Warren and had
lived too long under his regime, allow
ing him to settle her business for her,
to suddenly break forth into an inde-
pendent life. Some women could do
it; for her it would be impossible.
And you say that Warren would

do you know? Have you ever tested

NO. because he has never thought
of such a thing. and neither have !. 1

fact, Warren detests all women who
are advanced. He is so convential
that he just cannot understand women

there are hundreds of men who think
just the same upon these subjects. |

then spoke. NO. | couldn't,

I thought you were going to hand
over any responsibility to me. l am
afraid of business; really you have
picked the wrong woman. There must
be hundreds of other women who
would fit in beautifully with your
scheme, but l am not the type at ALL"
Ned sat back in his chair and
thought. At least he had planted the
seed of discomfort in Helen's mind.
Well, it would do no harm to wait a
while now, the developments were
sure to be interesting

Ned Burns came into the room
easily and smiled as Helen rose to
meet him. Helen. in spite of the fact
that Ned was there to tell her of his
engagement to some unknown girl,
had dressed very carefully and was
looking her best.
Ned looked at her keenly and Helen
returned his smile with one calculated
to be simply friendly.
Ned, how are you?" she said cor
daily.
Very WELL" he responded conven-
tionally; you are looking well, Helen.
How's Warren ?"
Helen responded lightly. This was
plainly an exchange of conventionali-
ties. for the deeper business lay under
the surface, and both Helen and Ned
were aware of the fact and were anx-
ious to begin. Ned was anxious to tell
Helen what he had alluded to in his
letter, but Helen, in spite of her curl
oSity concerning the business arrange
ment he had spoken of. was more
anxious to congratulate Ned on his en-
;gagement. She felt somehow that she
would feel easier afterward. That was
the thing that would change the COM
mon ground between them and put
Helen more at her ease.
II told Warren all about it last
night" Helen began quickly. I'VE
Ned laughed. Helen thought en-
barrassedly, and said: We'll. let's put
off that subject and get to the business
arrangement"
But l don't want to put it off. I

met her and what. she is like
Don't you want to hear what

"Oh, yes, Ned, I am consumed with
curiosity" Helen fastened to say. She
could not help wondering why Ned
wished to put off telling her his news,
but she acceded readily enough to his
request to postpone it until later and
turned toward him eagerly.
"All right, what is this exciting
lnews?"
Ned warmed up to the subject
quickly.
