 Hester is looking very bad these days" Lester's mother informed her with little sniff. 'tHe is working far too hard. It these modern wives would consider their husbands health a lit tie more and be content with less their husbands wouldn't die quite so young 1! I don't like to say anything, but the very idea of Marilla getting fur coat this year"
 T gave Marilla the money for her coat" the maternal grandmother stated triumphantly. My daughter always has had things and I wasn't going to see her do without just because she had married young man who is still strug- gling! Why, Marilla had several splendid chances and why she didn't"
 '"There was girl crazy about Les ter who had couple of million left her." Lester's mother murmured re- miniscently. q certainly hope he never will be sorry for the indifferent way in which he treated her. She was a lovely girl and just because she didn't have a pretty face was no reason-of course am very fond of Marilla, only it is just as well little Lester shows so plainly that he is through and through Papershell. All the Papershell men amount to something in the world and have aspirations beyond mere money. I am glad the baby has Lester's nose, for while of course Marilla's nose is cute on her, nobody would want man to grow up with a cute nose. He could never be a judge or the President with such a handicap2
 Little Lester's nose is exactly like Marilla's brother's!" declared Maril- las mother warmly. Ut is no more like Lester's than-than mine is l am sure I don't see where your eyes are! Every act and move and look of that baby is like Marilla's side of the house! It is most distinct and pro- nounced mad"
 His resemblance to Lester is so strong" said Lester's mother, hotly, "that blind man could"
 "Yah-h-h! Wah! Eeeeeee-ow ,! yelled little Lester shrilly, waking up at this inopportune moment.

 want someone to accompany them to the theater, etc., and also need some one to advise them where to go and what to do. Or, supposing that a young girl going to school is to pass through New York, to be there day or two, and the mother knows no one to take care of her. She writes to the bureau and can be confident that her daughter will be met at the station and chaperOned by a reliable woman. believe that quite number of hotels in New York now employ regularly one woman who stands ready to act as escort and companion to strangers and people who are lonely and il seems to me that this is a good idea for all large-sized cities.
 For women who can only leave their homes certain number of hours a day there is housekeeping for other people. Some women do not wish to employ a resident housekeeper and yet want someone competent to do the ordering and supervise the running of the house, Many employ woman for this purpose for three or -four hours in the morning This enables the employee to have the rest of the day free for herself and yet earn, a certain amount of money. Any woman who is capable of keping her own house, who knows at all how to deal with people, is qualified for this position.
 Another job which needs only few hours e day is that of social secretary. The social secretary does not have to know shorthand or typewriting, though, of course, she can earn more money if she does. There are many women who need merely someone with good hand writing who is capable of answering their invitations, receiving and send ing telephone messages and probably keeping the check book. The social secretary needs tact, as she must handle the private business of her em- ployer. It is pleasant work, however, and does not demand great physical strength.
 Being private secretary to a business man or woman is, of course, much more difficult and important job than just plain social secretary. Many men will tell you that they are helpless as children when their pet personal secre. tary is away on her vacation. If she is efficient, she becomes absolutely in. valuable to them, but naturally she must know shorthand and typewriting very proficiently, and hers is an all day job. She must have an excellent memory and must be interested in try ing to protect her employer from as many worries as possible. Secretaries generally become as interested in the business which they are assisting as ii the man himself and I find that they are an extremely charming, clever and interested lot of people. It is a job where the employees interests become so closely allied to those of the employ. CT that they seem less like employee and employer than in many positions.
 The girl who is 3stenographer and yet who is not able to give her whole day to her work can very often find part-time work with doctors.

 "Marilla's baby looks like Lester? inquired the maternal grandmother in helplessly amazed tones. Why, I never heard of such a thing. In the first place boy babies always take after the mothers side and anyhow there never was anything so much like Marilla as that baby's chin, nose, eyes and pro- file Why, even his smile is like hers. "
 "When she was little every one al- ways admired Marilla's smile and ] am so glad little Lester has it. Mar illa's mouth is so pretty and while your Lester is fine boy, you admit that nobody would choose to have a mouth like his, if it were to be avoided, dear Mrs. Papershell! am sure little Lester is going to be the exact image of my sisters son, Henry. Henry is a tall, handsome boy with the most strik- ing profile and combined with Maril- las smile the effect would be irresistible. All the Garlands are tall"

Give me a strong, rugged face like Lester's every time! And if you will notice the baby's ears you can see that they are the exact copies of his father's!"
 "Oh, l hope not!' exclaimed the ma ternal grandmother in great alarm, go- ing to the crib and uncovering the sleeping baby's head with consider able anxiety. Tt certainly would be a pity if his ears stuck out that way Why, they don't at all They are nice and close to his head just like his mothers! When Marilla was a girl and wore her hair back, every one al. ways admired her ears. They were like little pink shells.

husbands money, wears beauti- full negliges, and is continually flattered and made love to.
 So, naturally, when the bride finds out that she has married very human man, full of faults and weaknesses, instead of godling, and when she ascertains that her husband is selfish and opinionated, and has ways that irritate her, she is bitterly disillusioned.
 Also, she gets another shock when she discovers that marriage calls for perpetual self-sacrifice from a woman, that there are quite few thorns among it's roses, and, that, generally speaking, the holy estate falls far short of what poets and romancers have press-agented it to be.
 Follow a time of adjustment when the little bride is trying to swallow her bitter pill of disillusion without mak- ing too many faces over it and attempt ing to fit her dream to reality. They are not happy days for her. Her castle in Spain lies in ruins about her. She is hurt, bewildered,> dGspairing.
 Then 1t is that she longs to run to mother and weep out her sor- rows on her breast. Then it is that she vivisects her husband for mothers benefit and turns the spotlight on his every blemish. Then it is that she makes hus- bands nasty word sound like a premediated insult, when his careless act becomes crime, when a necessary economy turns . into miserliness.

So every time that John complains about the coffee or refuses to buy Mabel new car, or says he is too tired to go out of an evening, Mabel chases over to mothers and cries into her best handkerchief while she tells mother all about it, and is commiserated on how unreasonable John is. Or else she writes mother a tear-stained letter in which she pours out her woes, and mother gets a picture of John firmly fixed in her mind as a close-fisted brute, who takes a delight in torturing her angel child.
 And she hates John accordingly. In the meantime Mabel has forgotten all about her accusations against John. She loves him and he loves her, and in her heart she knows that in their quar- rels she is just as much to blame as he is. So they kiss and make up and all would be well if only Mabel hadn' t told mother about it.

Therefore, I say, don't tell your troubles to mother, little bride. When you and your husband have family sQuabbles, referee your own fight without calling mother in.

R. R. LABOR BOARD
Has Destroyed Itself ; Chair
man Hoover Partial
to Owners

Chicago.-The railroad labor board
is challenged by the railroad brother
hoods, and representative of these
organizations refuse to recognize
subpoenas to testify in their dispute
with western carriers.
The workers are especially resent
full at Chairman Hoover, of the board,
because of his leanings toward the
railroads. The chairman has carried
this favoritism so far that he sug-
gested law against railroad strikes
at recent meeting of railroad Off
cials in New York city.
The workers are now ignoring the
board and it's orders. They say the
purpose of the board is to delay nego-
tiations.
"The employees refuse to submit
their controversies to the so-called de-
cision of the board, not only because
the action of the board is premature,
but also because the board is not an
impartial tribunal" representatives of
the workers declare. ''The chairman
has repeatedly and gratuitously made
public attacks on representatives of
the employees and on the policies of
their organization, and has disquali-
fed himself as an arbitrator.
"The cost of submitting contro-
versies to the board is very large;
decision of the board is not binding;
the board itself is biased, and the en-
ployes have the right (recently an
nounced by the United States circuit
court of appeals in Pennsylvania to
refuse to contest matter before the
labor board.
Therefore, the attempt of the
board by indirect means to compel
them to submit controversy to the
board is an unlawful abuse of the
powers of the board and violation
of the constitutional rights of en-
ployes and of their representatives.
''Up to date the carriers have re-
fused to hold conferences, and in so !
doing are violating the requirements
of the transportation act. The plain |
duty of the board is to annul its order |
assuming jurisdiction and to direct |
the individual carriers to hold legal |
conferences with the representatives
of their employees"

SISAL SUIT
Casts Bright Light on 'Spe'
cial Privilege"

New York.-The extortionate pro
fits that monopoly makes possible is
shown in a government suit against
the sisal trust.
Farmers are forced to pay more
than $3,000,000 a year in increased
prices for their binder twine because
of the monopolized sisal, it is claim
ed.
Mexico is the only country in which
sisal is produced in sufficient guam
titles to supply the United States
Prior to 1915 Mexican sisal planters
sold their product to binder twine
manufacturers IN the United States
under conditions of competition. AT
that time the New York price of sisal
was 51a cents pound. A corpora
ton was formed to take over the
entire Mexican product, and New
York prices were increased at one
time to 10 cents pound. Mexican
planters were then paid 4 to cents
a pound.
The promoters also organized the
Sisal sales corporation, which re-
ceives 6 per cent on gross sales. In
one year the sales corporation real
lied a profit of more than 100000
on an original investment of $1,000.
