Women have got into many DIM
culties because of their ignorance Of
the law. Take. for instance, tho laws
relating to contracts. A neighbor Of
mine came to see me the other day in
great Joy.
well. at last I've got rid Of that
woodland on Lons Isand,' she said.
and I've signed an agreement to buy
the cutest little bungalow you ever
saw in Westchester. Mr.. Jones offered
me $4,000 for those woods and that
almost pays for tho other house.
How is he going to pay your l
asked. In cashT
Why. we didn't discuss tha., she
said.
And then It turned out that Mr..
Jones was such a nice man that she
cidnt think II necessary to ask him
to put the agreement in writing.
"The next day Mr.. Jones called I'D
to tell her that other things had
come up which would make it impos-
sible for him to buy the woodland.
There was my neighbor left with her
old property on her hands and an
agreement to buy the Westchester
X she hadn't thought the other prop
erty sold and the money as good as
in her hand.
Mortgages and Wills are other
things about which there cling a great
deal Of mystery and superstition in
nearly every woman's mind.
Mortgages on the stage are al
ways foreclosed on Christmas eve
when the snow is falling and the wind
Is blowing gale outside and the
poor. shivering old folks inside do not
cream that the door will presently
burst open to let in their prodigal son
who has made a fortune in a distant
c ty and come back to save trs old
home. Their dramatic value has hid
den their practical value"
Why Wills should he Made.
And the lost wll?" suggested the
reporter
"Just so,' said Miss Witte. Prob
ably more disappolntments have re-
suited from the absence OF last will
and testament than from any other
cause. Cousin Jane always meant me
to have her diamond earrings and Il
know John was going to leave me that
mahogany desk, He said SO ever SO
many times-we've all heard those
stories.
But the disappointed cnes would
have been the last in the world to
urge John and Cousin Jane to make a
will. There's an unrea sonable super

This has been supplemented BY an
by the Postmaster General as fol-

POSTMASTER should exercise every
effort to make delivery OF letters ada

boards to registrants under the Sc
lective-Service act and particularly the
notices which those boards send to
registrants calling them to places Of

ensue to a registrznt who fails to re-
spond TO this latter call, as the law
Classics him as deserter, and unless
an explanation Is. made he must be
dealt with as such It is therefore
