Mildred Harris Chaplin admits

anything she denies IL just as bisndly.
There's nothing dynamic in her voice

OF a settlement OF $3.50. 000--of mis-
placed and betrayed love, OF the baby
who didn't live, and OF the present
styles In womens gowns all In the
same low, almost colorless voice.
I'm tired" she says. in such plain

going TO cry about IL, and you feel
that you're TO blame for II all for

trying to share nifty fifty in Charles

and the Woman's City club, are offer ing courses this winter in the study of government, with first hand knowledge to be gained by visits to meetings of the board of aldermen, the board of estimate and apportionment and the various city departments. They are holding many open meetings where public questions are discussed.
 Should Study Affairs
 Women should first make a careful study of the government of their town. city, state and nation. and then get out and take an intelligent part in the conduct of their affairs.
 By this I do not mean setting a watch on public officials with an eye to criticising their every action, but giving helpful cooperation at a time when their officials require this kind of support, and holding officehoiders up to giving their best to the public ser vice.
 If the same young women would give to the country now in time of peace a fraction of the service they gave during the war, they would be giving equally high patriotic service, and at a time when the nation needs their help as much as it did through out the war period

But I'm not blind-waSnt in coleSe- wasn't in the army. I should say that half the time a man doesn't know mat he's headed anywhere -with-woman until he arrives.
 Men are bigger fools than they seem," I said in my most sarcastic toen To myself, I thought:
 Goodness. gracious. l shouldn wonder if my husband had been tell ing me a grand secret about his sex as well as about my own. Heres a phase of mans nature few women sus- pect-few except those who take ad- vantage of it. And it's something all! decent women ought to know, too In self defense.
 Bob wasn't a cad I told myself. lie never could be that. His statement only reinforced an opinion of my own. I had seen girls and women coquet all my days I realized that nature had put it them for purpose just as she had planted something polygamous in so many men.
 ..Bob." I whispered, in strange mood which was one-halg humlnatioh as if I myself were only tool or ma ture. Bob, Did you arrive at the al tar with me before you knew where yeu were headed?"
 You dear little goose. or course not, You're not common clay. Jane.
 Bob, Just recall how angry you were about what Dr. Certeis said to me when you were asleep. He said, you remember. If you are not for me then you are not for any mani
 Bob turned his pillow and gave 1t a vicious punch, and took a long time to settle himself comfortably in his bed It delighted me to feel that l had jealousy.
 Let's cut out this line of talk, Jane dearest We get nowhere"
 Answer me, Bob.
 You never lured Certeis one inch. Sure-I know that.
 Then you've got to admit that there are probably a lot of other women like me- Women who would scorn to en- tice a man-even to the altar.
 Certainly There's my own mother and Martha Palmer-and-
 And scores of others-so good-so trustful-so innocent-of whats gong on in this rotten old world that they that we lose out to-just common clay like Katherine Miller." I sobbed.
 No. They do not, Jane. They do not, Never," Bob took both my hands in his own to emphasize his protest Don't think so for single moment, my darling wife. Why, asked you to wear my name my dear girl That is the highest honor any man can pay a women. Doesn't that satisfy you? Can't you see that l never have and never can love any woman I love you?
 Maybe" I said. At any rate. compromise. l agree. I'll do as you say-Tll think of your affair with Miss Miller as ancient history. I'll consider it of not much importance. And I'll pass over it lightly Is there anything more I can do for you, Mir. Robert Lorimer?"
 Then I laughed hysterically-and was glad to see that my husband re- garded me dubiously. I didn't under stand him-in spite of all we had said. Such being the case, I did not care to be an open book. myself.
