This story is written to start an
argument.
Any husband can argue about it
with his wife.
Any father can argue about it
with any mother.
Any oma a argue about it
with any other woman.
The story itself proves nothing.
1t can be stated in this simple club
note:
ORANGE. N. j.. March S.-Mrs.
Everett Colby has declined the pres
idency OF the Woman's Club. This
decision occasioned much surprise.
as the Office is an honor coveted by
most of the women of the Lewellyn
Park smart set. Mrs. Colby decided
she could not accept the Office be-
cause she had to devote her time to
her five children.
The subject of the debate thus be-
comes: Children versus clubs" The
first point is won by the affirmative.
for Mrs. Colby's action speaks more
positively than words.
But should a woman, just because
she has children, give UP club life
which includes social. civic and pub
lie activities?
Mrs. Colby takes the forum and
says:
Before a woman enters into club
life, to the extent of accepting club
responsibilities and club offices, her
domestic responsibilities and her
children should be behind her.
'The cradle first; the club and the
community later.

having children earlier.

las a little diversion. an after
Moons amusement, a mother can
find some relaxation at a club. But
she hasn't much time for that sort
of thing If she is to do her job as
a mother properly.
Some women. I know, contend
that their duties as wives and
mothers needn't interfere IN the
least with club affairs-that they
can attend to both. They say their
children are being cared for by a
doting relative, or an excellent gov
erness, or a lovely nurse.
But as a mother / want my child
to be my own. / think a mother
can serve her community and her
country best by doing the best job
of mothering that can be done.
TOO many mothers children are
no their own; they are the wards
of paid keepers.
II like active women-cultured,
educated, interested in affairs: a
real mother must be all of this"

ed when real work outside the home
had to be done. 1t was her mothers
interest that made her accept the

You're not going to accept that

gasped.
No! Nor am I going to refuse
him. dear. I'm merely going to re-
mind him that I am married and
therefore disqualified to consider
his proposition. Respect for monog-
amy-that is the particular lesson a
man of his type should get from
every married woman he makes
love to-"
AS Martha penned her reply, I
felt for the t~housandth time how
wonderful life might be IL human
beings were only half as wonderful
! as they pretend to be! Life and it's
opportunities are more marvellous
than the dreams of poets. But hui
man beings fail.
Evan. a man splendidly endowed
by nature, had made q horrid tangle
Of the supreme interest Of his life.
He had wrecked his w and Mar
tha's happiness from sheer perver-
sity.
Certainly Martha was not a lucky
woman. Between Evan and Van
there was no choice. They were two
of q kind. Plainly, Martha ought to
be lucky in business since she was
SO unfortunate in love.
The only man 1T to be her mate
was Arthur Mansfield and he was
not the man to interfere in the af-
fairs of a married woman. The
more he loved her, the more effect
ually he would hide his devotion
from her. As I left Martha's house
I met another special delivery mes
senger. I smiled. and hoped 1t was
a word of cheer from the only man
who could cheer Martha.
In our dining-room at luncheon,
my husband greeted me:
80 Evan was knocked out by
Van! Bad business! Hard on
Marte!"
Bob's attitude gave me my own
cue! He and ! were to be friends.
We would remain friends and COM

more it occurred to me that human
beings are a great deal shallower
than they like to admit. Plainly, II
Bob and I were as big as we liked
to believe we would discuss our diff
ferences, and compromise them.
Bob held the doctrine. in a cer-
tain way. He expected me to be
big enough to overlook everything
he did not wish me to see! SILENCE.
Let us not speak about his little ad-
venture with Katherine," Then
everything between us would be all

had missed a certain depth in my
man. He was still the truant school,
boy, ready to go off and play mar
bles with anyone-just because he
was invited!
I was dying to tell him that I had
seen him with Katherine in front
of Chang Foo's place. Nevertheless
I resolved TO be like the lady of the
White Hyacinths; ! would hold all
ties lightly, I would never clutch
even at friendship, ! would grow
rich by giving! I would do all that
a devoted wife could do to further
Bob's happiness and his success.
Having reached this high condition,
I astonished Bob and myself.
Some tension in me snapped.
Suddenly, all my hurt burst from
my lips In a torrent of accusations.
Why had he not told me about
his adventure in the blizzard?

HOROSCOPE
The stars ineiin- but do not compel
"Wednesday. March Q. 1921

Copyright, 1921, by the Mcclure
Newspaper S~yndicate)~
Again a~strologers foretell that
the day will be uncertain in its
planetary direction. Jupiter. Venus
and Saturn are all strongly adverse,
Mars alone being mildly helpful.
There is an aspect that seemingly
portends anxiety and much discus
sion concerning financial problems.
Bankers will be much in c~onsulta-
ton over a questions in which
foreign nations are involved.
Severe criticism of educational
matters seems to be foreshadowed.
Sensational exposures of bad man
agement are presaged by the stars.
Under this sway there is likely to
be much lawbreaking. especially
where Illicit traffic is possible.
Crimes by women as well as
against them may be alarmingly
common Is the spring advances.
The lunation of this date falls in
opposition to Jupiter at the winter
solstice and this threatens difficult
ties in regard to government execu-
tives. especially those in high place.
Changes in the new Presidents
advisers. possibly among members
of his cabinet. seem to be indicated.
The rising position of Jupiter and
Saturn denotes both extravaganza
and privation among the people and
depression in certain lines of trade.
The weather may be u~nfavorable
for agriculture this month, for there
is likely to be too much rain.
The conjunction of Mercury and
Uranus in the sixth house denotes
reforms in sanitation and public
health matters. Women and chill
dren will receive much attention.
The birthrate is to fall off con-
~sidsrably. especially in the East and
West, where marriages may de-
crease.
Theatrical affairs are not subject
to satisfactory conditions at this
time. a period of change OF transit
ton being forecast.
Persons whose birthdate it Ia may
meet with losses in the coming year,
unless they are very cautious.
Children born on this day must be
trained to the most exact and eau
tious methods of business, lest they
become unfortunate in not gaining
the right foundation for success
