Her husband was drowned
In Long Island Sound.
SO sea green weeds she wore.
And when with cang
The dinner bell rang,
To the banquet hall they sped.
They sat remote
At tho table d'hote;
The boarders. they sat at the head.
The boarders proud
Laughed long and loud
Loud laughed each little child.
As they ate their chowder
They laughed the louder.
But these neither laughed nor smiled.

Sir-It is interesting to note how people
will argue among themselves and drift
farther and farther from the truth, unless
they have a weii-defned working basis as
stabilizing influence.
woman was once the docile helpmate
Of her husband and he was tho head. his
word being final, and his authority was
freely acknowledged. After a while came
the days Of chivalry. the thought OF which
suppose is understood by all. But nova
days Il seems woman has como to the be-
lief that she has been downtrodden, and she
Is. In her belief trying to get what Is
hors. We read every day about the inde-
pendence of women. and how they are fast
becoming as we'll, or better, able to run
the afrairs of man than he himself can. We
could 20 on with tho argument and say
that. II women want to be Independent
and equal to mon. then let them 70 half
on the expense Of amusements. pay their
