SIDE TALKS
How Much Time?

The question as to how much OF
q woman's time running a home with
and without servants needs to take,
has brought me a crop of delightful
letters-some amusing, some interest
ing, some inspiring.
The one to which I am going to
give my space today is certainly the
latter:
IT am sure" writes this letter
friend, IF you received letters from
all the people who intend to write
you, you'd have a nervous break
down trying to read them. l, for
one, have been determining to write
you for years and I've at last been
pushed right into it by my desire to
tell you how absurd is the contention
OF the woman who says running a
house with two servants takes all
ones time.
IF that were true, that is, if it
had to take all of any woman's time,
how could I manage?

same name by Sir Gilbert Parker.
The picture is the big hit of the week,
the story being based on the Boer
war, with a strong man pitted
against q brainy one, and with a love-
ly woman being sought by both. How
the strong man wins, only to lose his
strength through dissipation and then
be reclaimed gives the foundation for
q great picture. And it is. In the
cast are Wilfred Lucas, Conway
