In the average American restaurant
today a man must play mean trick
on his appetite. says the Thrift Maya
zine, II he expects to have much left
out of a dollar after maintaining con-
tact with full meal. Statistics show
that there are 100000 persons who
subsist in American restaurants from
day to day. Among this vast army of
bacon and egg experts there are
many, no doubt, who would be glad
to see the daily menu card speak in
more conciliatory accents on the sub
ject of hash and other luxuries. Things
are done differently abroad. 1t is re-
ported that the national restaurant of
London which was established to ex-
pose the profiteers shows profit of
$3.50 a week or about 70 per cent on
the investment. Lunches and suppers
are sold for rs cents and tea and
breakfast for is cents. There is a
profit of about cents on each meal.
The cooperative restaurant idea also
has taken root in Paris, where ten
publicly controlled restaurants. each
seating 1000 persons, are selling good
meals for about 80 cents each.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
When Romance Dies.-1.

A young woman of my acquaintance
married q worthy young man about
three years ago. The husband is very
well to do, very generous and very
much in love with his wife. He has
luxury and is kindness itseIff but the
wife has decided that she doesn't love
him, and she wants to leave him and
take their baby with her.
The husband refuses to let her go.
Wherein he is making a great mistake,
in my opinion. He should let her go
and find out for herself what the life
she longs for SO ardently is like-what
it means to a woman, who has had a
fine home, to live in hall bedroom
and cheap boarding house. and who
has had a strong man to stand be-
tween her and the world to know that
she has only her own weak hands with
which to fight the wolf away from
the door.
For surely a woman, who broke her
wedding VOWS for no better reason
than that she had ceased to consider
her husband figure of romance,
would not expect him ito go on sup
porting such a gutter as she had
shown herself to be.
1t would do a lot Of women who are
ungrateful, unappreciative, and dis
gruntled, good to be thrown on their
own resources for a lille, and Ind
out by actual experience what poor
incompetent creatures they are, how
utterly unable they are to hold their
own in the fierce battle for bread. and
what a soft job they had as wives.
They are SO used to being thought for,
to being protected. to having their
wants supplied by their husbands that
they take it as a matter of course.
without thanks. and they need a good
hard jolt to wake them up
1t Is women like these who have
everything soft who cultivate imagi-
nary sorrows. who discover that their
husbands are not their soulmates, and
that some long lanky haired poet, or
musician is their real affinity; who
despise their husbands for being sor-
did money makers while they waste
the money the men toll for; who NOR
bidly gloat over their disillusion in
finding that their husbands are lust
men instead of matinee heroes. and
who make themselves perfectly miser-
| able by dissecting their emotions, and

husbands because they are not affect

Two and a half years ago the Dut-
tons of New York published 1.-The Ger

Wellman. the well known journalist.
In the form of an allegory, or history
written in anticipation of events, 1t
forecast the end of the war thru an
armistice, political revolution in
Germany, the abdication of the kaiser,
the setting up of a republican form of
government, and the reorganization of
the world with q league of nations.

tribunals for settling disputes. perma-
rent peace, a new era for the whole
race. The book naturally attracted
much attention. but few were able to
put faith in the authors remarkable

Utopiah to the last degree. Now he is
being showered with praise for having
produced q great prophetic book OF

to release me? BRUNETTE.

for you to rectify 1t at once Write

and tell him that you find you are in
love with some one else. Try to inn
agine yourself in his place when you
are writing and word your letter SO
that it will not hurt him more deeply
than necessary.

would have kept the money she squan-
dered on bogus stock.
The government employment serv-
ice in Washington has placed nearly
twenty thousand women in remunera-
tive positions in the past six months
They have ranged all the way from
dish washers to near-diplomats. Many
were placed in munition factories;
thousands have been absorbed into the
government war machinery as eff
cheney experts, stenographers, typists,
telegraphers. clerks. adding machine
operators, domestic science experts,
trained nurses and draftswomen.
The employment opportunities az
forded women by the war will be of
lasting benefit not only to the sex but
to the nation, in the opinion OF Mrs.
Hopkins. They have given thousands
of women much-needed business ex-
perience, and they have changed the
feminine attitude toward systematic
work. Women no longer boast of their
uselessness. They are no longer
ashamed to confess that they are in
telligent, able-bodied citizens. quite
capable of earning their own living.
