nGrass Widows"

The term "Grass Widow" very like
Nv originated from the wording OF a
Canon law of the eleventh century,
which ordained that widow should
remain under Gods protection and
gra ..e' for full year after her hus-
bands death, and then marry ii she
pleased Such women were widows
of grace" and in later parish regis
ters they are described as "Grasse
Widowes" In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term grass widow was ap'
piled to unmarried mothers, and In
this sense it was used in most Of the
TeutOnic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another explana.
ton of it's origin is found here in the
United States. During the days OF
gold rusheS it was common for men
to board out their wives until they
had made enough to start home In
the West, and this, in the picturesque
speech of the time, was termed put
ting ones widow out to grass"

BLUFF THAT FATHER MAKES
iberian Daddy Is Supposed to Be In
No Hurry to Get Rid Of Marriage
able Daughter.

Ordinarily fathers of marriageabie
daughters are very much awake at the
approach Of prospective son-in-law.
and are not at all given to being asleep
when the actual request for the young
lady's hand is made.
But in far-off Siberia, among the
Samnyed, a people who huddle close
about the arctic circle, things are
different. and the father is, or pre-
te1us to be, more or less asleep when
the matchmaker arrives, and has to
be awakened.
The girls father always assumes
a rpnsive, taciturn attitude, sort or
drowsy, uninterested air, even If the
terms offered are entirely to his Tx
ing. AS one gift after another Is prot
fered, he still preserves his silence,
and even mods as though the whole
thing made him tired and sleepy.
Finally, the matchmaker, apparently
at the end of his patience, strikes the
uninterested parent with the ceremo-
NAL iron staff which he carries.
Then the father. thus rudely
awakened to sense of his Obliga.
lions. promises to consult his son or
other male relative about the mat
ter. This he does, but only as mat
fer of form, for when the proceed
ings have reached this stage it is al
ready certain that the marriage Will
take place.

WAS 1T FOR THIS AMERI-
CAN SOLDIERS WENT
TO FRANCE?

TO scrub the floor for even so estima-
bic Il gentleman as Col. House as Mr..
Richard Seclye Jones remarks in his
Paris correspondence to the pOSt-In-
telligenccr, is Il poor reward for ser
vices rendered in the ArgOnne. Col.

ing necessity; but Just why American
soldiers should be called upon to per-
form this honorable but humble task
we are not able to say.
1t may be answered that the uni
formed scrubmen that Slush sudS

from choice, and that they are not COM
PEELED to engage in this mental service
unless they SO desire. This. however.
we submit is not Il sufficient answer.
and is one that oyerlOOkS the essential
opposition to the SOldier-Scrubman-
the uniform. If the uniform of the
American soldier stands for anything.
and for two years we have loudly pro
claimed that it does. then it is worthy
of Il higher station in the Hotel Crillon
than that of the scrub bucket and the
mop. \ soldier may properly scrub
his barracks and perform such other
duties as are necessary to his own
health and comfort. That is one
thing: bat when he is put TO work as Il
soldier Scrubbing floors and washing
dishes for Il hotelful of peacemakers
and their families he becomes stand
ing argument why Il great many Amer
leans want nothing to do with the
army.
If fhe uniform of the United States
army may indicate that the wearer is
either man who has fought for his
country or who has scrubbed floors for
Col. House. the doubt cannot but de-
tract from some of the affection and
admiration we have for it, Scrubmen
and diSh-WaShprS are necessary. and no
stigma should attack to their callingS.
But none the less they are not soldiers
their vOCatiOnS normally call for en-
firely different qualities. and the diff

proper that such soldiers as have a
