oscar Used To Hang Around To Civ
 Flowers To Lily Langtry

At the time when Mrs. Lantry was at the zenith of her fame and beauty, Oscar Wilde, just out of Oxford. uni versity, came to London, poor but proud.
 He fell in love with the Jersey Lily, as all men did, bought one exquisite blossom every evening at ~Covent Garden market, marched across Lon don, holding it in front of him with the amazing unself- f-consciousness that he afterwards parodied so well, theatre to open the door of her car riage and then handed his tribute of adora ton in silent ecstasy
 For a time there was something rather touching in the gallantry of this knightly deed, and Mrs. Langtry accepted the inevitable gift from the sallow, large eyed, long haired, mar tieulate youth with pleasure.
 But the deadly monotony of these evening presentations, and the regu- lar sight of bis worshipping figure looming in the shadows as she left the theatre, got eventually on her nerves, and Wilde was begged to go away
 Shocked and wounded, he continued, however, to hang about night after night in the deepest melancholy gloom; until at last, taking pity on his passionate plight, Mrs. Langtry sent out word that he might renew his worthless attentions and once more allowed herself to be handed out of her carriage by the man who orig mated the now so popular method oI saying it with flowers.

Most women have become infected with the desire to de something, to have some interest in life outside of the home. This is particularly so since the war-it is almost impos- sible after leading @ life of activity to return to one of inaction and frivolling. The trouble is that many women do not know what they want to do or else they have not been fit- ted for anything. l feel sure that the day is coming when girls will be brought up with the idea of a job or career exactly as are men.
 Women have unquestionably proved their capabilities in practically every kind of business So. much so that l fear little jealousy and irritation Is back of some mems dislike for the Idea of the working woman. They do not quite like to have their male superiority questioned. Their su periority has been questioned by working women, who have demon strated that ability is not matter of sex. It seems to me that the sooner men and women realize their equal ity and their value each to the other, the sooner marriage and life will be- come simplified.

MOTHER -IN-LAW JOKE
Legal Aid Society Flames Her For
 Most Domestic TanxIes

Legal Aid Society Blames Her For
 Most Domestic TangIes
 The mother-in-law joke Is no joke to the Local Aid society of New York. The society issued a statement the other day, asserting she is a dis turbing factor in many American homes and the chief cause of un- happy marriages. She does more to break up homes than any other in- fluence, the society claims
 The organization bases its state- ment on its records of 47 years of free legal service to the poor of New York. In the last year the society helped straighten 5000 domestic tangles.
 "Mother-in-law were responsible for most of them." said Leonard Mo- Gee, the society's attorney. "There are three reasons for this. First, no mother thinks any other weman's child Is good enough for her own; second, mother frequently sees In tho marriage of her child the thwart- ing of her own plans and ambitions, and third. where the boy or girl Is a wage earner. the mother dislikes sharing her accustomed income with another or giving 1t up entirely,

GARGOYLE THAT LAUGHS
Exuberant Mirth Expressed By Fig
 ure On Notre Dame Tower

High up on the tower of Notre Dame the other morning I saw gar goyle laugh. He made no sound but that he was laughing was quite evil dent. There was that suppressed convulsion of features which betokens inward laughter which perhaps IS greater laughter than the laugh ter that is loud. Why he laughed could not quite say.
 Perhaps one had to seek the req son far back in history. The joke, whatever 1t was, was too rich to be very new. There seemed to be some explanation of the gargoyle's laugh ter in the great cathedral on which he was perched gazing over the city's roof tops.
 What an exuberance of spirit had sent those walls soaring up to heaven, sent those fyling buttresses leaping in mid air. carved and fretted into lace work the front of the great pile. Worship, surely, had been sufficient ly expressed in such work as this. But there we are wrong. Even the building of Notre Dame Itself could not exhaust the exuberance of those who in adoration built 1t. Having finished it they climbed to the top of it, two stairs at time, and laughed in mighty joy on the tower top. In that laugh, though history does not record it, was the gargoyle born. And that is why the gargoyle laughs the youngest, merriest laugh in the gay city of today.-F. G. H. In the Continental Edition of the London Mail

recognized and she can use that power for herself and her children and not be forced to use it through her unrecognized, Influence on a male. History shows that every great statesman, writer, or ruler has al- ways had some woman with whom he has discussed questions of inn portance and who has had strong influence on his actions. All that has happened now is that that woman may continue to influence man if she so desires, but she nay also use her brains and ability toward mak- ing a life or career of interest for herself.
 It seems unnecessary to say that the argument that things have been a certain way for many years, and consequently should not be changed, is a poor one. Why then should we use telephones or automobiles or any other modern contrivance? .. Even if we reject this analogy as Having no bearing on marriage and the conduct of life, we must rem ember that in the old days there were no kitchenette apartn. .ents, that the average woman thought of cooking as an art, made all her underclothes and many of her dresses herself, and at least kept herself occupied in her home. Changes in costumes and mode of liv- ing have been a big influence in woman's life and have been impor tant factors in iinpelling the woman of energy and intelligence to seek an interest and occupation outside the home.
 That the most intelligent women are seeking outside occupations can not be denied, and they are proving every day that woman can be d good wife and mother and still take care of a job in the business world or the arts. So many are proving the practicability of this way Of living that it is my firm belief that the world will soon have to acknowledge it.
