Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
What Is Your Standing as wife?-1.

What Is Your Standing as Wife?-1.
The president of q large financial
concern, which specializes in lending
money on mortgages, said the other
day that one of the chief things that
he took into consideration in deter
mining the amount OF credit that hit
extended to a man, was the kind OF a
woman to whom he was married.
If the mans wife was extravagant,
and silly, and bitten with the society
bug, and was trying to run with peo-
ple who were better off than she was,
her husband was a poor risk. he
would never pay off his debts. and
sooner or later the mortgage on his
house would have to be foreclosed.
| But il the man was married to a
sensible, thrifty ana industrious Wo
man. a woman who lived well within
her husbands income, her husband
was a good risk. He was pretty sure
| to get on in the world. he wouio pay
off his debt and own his own nome,
and in time take his place among the
Slid nrosperous men of the commun-
ity, so the bank was glad to exteno
him a good line of credit.
| 1 wonder how many wives nave ever
| thought Of themselves in this ilgnt-
as an actual, tangible asset, or liabil-
| ity. to their husbands or realized that
their habits and character were col
lateral on which he could either Dor
row money. or be refused IT,
| Not many. for women have SIN :
gularly imperfect idea OF how much
The family fortune depends upon
them. The average woman considers
the acquiring of prosperity to be some
sort of a mysterious, occult perform
ance that is beyond her comprehen-
sion. She speaks of those who get
rich as being lucky, and she regards
81 a sort OF
wizardry. Some men have the power
| to do this and some have not, and the
| fortunate women are those who get
\ husbands who have this gift. II new
er seems to enter her head that she
and her spending have any bearing on
how the family gets along.
| Yet how the wife spends the money
has Just as much to do in determin-
ing whether the family will go on to
success, or land in bankruptcy as does
the mans earning capacity. Nay
more. For in the majority of house
holds 1t is the wife who pipes the
tune to which the husband dances. ii
she is thrifty and saving, they start q
bank account. If she is wasteful and
extravagant they spend as they go. II
she is ambitious to get rich, they be-
come rich. If she is happy-go-lucky
they go thru life barely making the
ends meet.
No man who is not a financial
genius can ever make any headway
against an extravagant wife. She car
spend ten dollars WHERE he can make
one, and in the end the husband OF
such a wife invariably grows discour'
aged and gives up the effort to try tt
pay the bills that grow faster than ht
can settle them. On the other hand
nothing spurs on a man to greater eff
fort than to be able to see the results
of his labor taking actual form in the
shape of a home of his own. or a nice
little collection of bonds and stocks.

If Susan B. Anthony could return to
earth. she would view with great sat
isfaction and pleasure the elimination
of her efforts in behalf of obtaining
the right of franchise for her sisters
which she began many years ago. The
equal suffrage amendment to the fed
eral constitution finally has passed
both houses of congress. Now to be-
come effective it must be ratified by
three-fourths of the states in the
Union. 1t seems scarcely possible that
there can be thirteen states that will
stand out against it. Opposition is
expected in the south, owing to OBJ
lection to the acknowledgment of ne
gro women, but there is much senti-
ment in favor of the amendment in
that quarter and the south has not
been solid at all times and on all pub
lie matters. Ratification may come
slowly but it will come. Right and
Justice frequently are greatly delayed
but they always arrive.

They named him the Hoodlum when
he first came to Blue Meadow farm, a

colt, with nothing but a pedigree to
make people admire him.

Dacre wrote back, "and he's all gold.
believe me, Aunt Sally. Just keep him
till get back, and, don't let anybody
but me break him. 1t won't be long"
That had been nearly a year ago,
and still the Hoodlum ranged freely
without a saddle on his back or a bit
between his teeth. 1t seemed as If
he had become almost a symbol, to
Miss Sally, of Dacres safe return

since his mother had died in his baby
hood, and had given him into her care
when she was only twenty. He had
grown UP at the farm, and it had
brought all of the horror of war close
to her heart when she had heard that
he had gone into the aero service
But the Hoodlum took life easily. He
was a handsome colt. rich bay in tone,
with darker name and tail, and white
feet. He would come at Miss Sa1ly's
call, clear from the river meadows
where he loved to Craze, to the lane
bars for some sugar or an apple from
her hand. And when she drove along
the road toward town. the colt would
race, with name. flying. trying to catch
her before the carriage turned the
bend in the road, to whinny anxiously
after her departing figure
Then Betty had come unexpectedly
and the Hoodlum took second place in
interest. Betty was seventeen and adj

told her something also.
At any rate, they became extremely
well acquainted after Jerry, the stable
boy, gave her Hoodlum's story. Every
day found her on her way down the
mulberry lane to the river meadows,
with plenty of "coaXers." as she called
them, to tempt the colt, and one day
she carried an old saddle of Dacre's on
her shoulder, and a bride.
1t was early in the spring when
Dacre returned. He had been wound
ed and detained for months at a base
hospital. Miss Sally was in a perfect
furry of excitement after the tele-
gram arrived saying he had left New
York and was on his way south. but
Betty happened to be staying over the
weekend at Juniper Hall, nearby,
with two girl friends, and missed the
news.

A friend who had heard that some
times suffered from insomnia told me
of a sure cure. Eat a quart of pea
nuts and drink two or three glasses of
milk before going to bed" said he,
land I'll warrant you'll be to sleep in
half an hour" I did as he suggested,
and my friend was right. L did go to
sleep very soon after retiring. Then
a friend with his head under his arm
came along and asked me if I wanted
to buy his feet. I was negotiating
with him when the dragon on which I
was riding slipped out of his skin and
left me floating in midair. While 1
was considering how to get down. a
bull with two heads appeared over the
edge of the well and said he would
haul me up If 1 would first climb up
and rig a windlass for him. So. as |
was sliding down the mountain side,
the brakeman came in and 1 asked
him when the train would reach my
station. I'VE passed your station
miles back" he said. calmly folding
up the train and slipping it into his
vest pocket. At this juncture the
clown bounded into the ring and
pulled the center pole out OF the
ground. lifting up the tent and all the
people in it, while I stood on the earth
below watching myself go out Of

A friend of ours has bought so many
appliances for his car. including a
patent cigar lighter. curling iron and
electric cooker that there is no room
in the car for the family. 1t takes so
much power to operate the appliances
that there is none left to operate the
car.

are impossible, and this is one OF
them.

And Tearle tells them how" It

me that Mr.. Frederick would be sure
to make a good impression, and that

help Neil. Little did I think that the
lunch. his acceptance of Lorraine's
invitation were both because of that

given detached leave for three
months, and must agree to remain in
college that length of time. They are
divided into detachments, each of
which is commanded by an officer
and has a civilian director who acts
as dean. Each man receives three
dollars a day for room and board,
and each must pay $50 francs for tut
ton.
This opportunity is limited to men
who have already had two years of
college education. About $4,000

French universities of the Sorbonne,
Bordeaux, Grenob1e and Dion. The
other two thousand are in England at
the universities. OF Oxford, Cambridge,

field, Bristol, Birmingham and Man
chester. These Americans in foreign
colleges are said to be improving their
opportunities. They have crFsc;-eH
athletic teams. published newspapers,
and Introduced other features OF
American college life.
The officials in charge Of this edu-
cational work are enthusiastic about
the good it has accomplished. It has
made tens OF thousands of men con-
tented and busy who would otherwise
have been restless and idle. The stu
dents in foreign universities. espe-
cially, are doing more than any other
Americans, perhaps. to cement the
friendship among America and her
allies.
All of these soldiers students are
gaining a new sense of pride in their
own government. Three months of
study in pleasant surroundings at gov
eminent expense is something of a
compensation for the hard months in
the field.
This educational system in Europe is
of course temporary thing, but edu-
cation in the army is not temporary.
On the contrary, 1t is intended,to make
the army more and more a great
school. where the man who gives his
time for the security of his country
will be fully compensated by educa-
tional opportunities.
