Sho married a southern girl may safely give that &
9lanation. But it is possible that the reasons are not
wholly Of that character.
Washington ststisticians tell rs that twice as many
wives are working now as used to work. Partly thst
Is because there are more wives nowadays in keeping
with q general incrase in population. Partly II 10 due
TO the economic opportunities open to women, married
or unmarried. Partly it is due to the speeded up
habits of consumption which encourages a young mar
ried couple to expect to start off where their own
fathers and mothers had clambered BY a generation OF
hard work together.
But, for the moments use, IL makes no particular
difference why wives work. Tho point 10 that work.
ing wives are common-more common IN the north
than in the southland the working girl who marries
and then goes on working hasn't done herself any par
ticular favor. " she prefers to work and have her
wages to herself. waiting the meanwhile . bit longer
for her ideal man who is TO be her husband, IL she to
be blamed for that?
The reason we have so many spinsters who take
their time about surrendering their pay check is be-
cause the surrender Of the pay check doesn't always
surrender the job, too. Meanwhile, when we are
speaking Of working wives. we have to remember that
the wife who is a home maker has plenty Of work fol
any woman.

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
By Charles p. Driseoli

Eva lie Gallienne is doing nobly with her own Civic
Repertory theater. She IL a good actress, but not
great. I saw her do a terrible Peter Pan. But what
courage il takes for anyone to do Peter Pan, after
Maud Adamsl Miss lie Gallienns occupies a badly
down-at-heel old theater in Fourteenth street, and the
lack of ventilation is a trial to the endurance Of the
patrons. The box office arrangements arc amat.urish,
with long lines Of customers waiting for tickets and
being shunted from one line to another in utter con-
fusion. But the prices are low, and the average quail
ity of the performance is so good that plenty Of pa
irons are willing to endure the discomforts and an
occasional disappointment.
How can a criminal get plenty Of firearms when he
is in Jail? This has long been a puyzlement in New
York, and, as the papers say, the police are baffled.
Reeurrently, when some desperate gunmsn wants 20
make g final play for liberty or revenge, the guns are
there ard the shooting is brisk. It Is the natural con-
clusion Of the populace that someone is not only baf-
fled but we'll paid in blood money for the privilege OF
slipping the weapons to the killers.
Frank S. LaIly, who is connected with the Aluminium
Company of America, was an interesting visitor TO my
workshop recently. From him ! learned that bauxite,
the mineral from which aluminium is made. is one Of
the most plentiful minerals on earth, but the CONNER
cal supply in the United States, in the ground. Is all at
the town Of Bauxite, Ark, and is owned by the Alum
mum company. However, there are great commercial
supplies of bauxite in Europe and Asia, and especially
in Russia. Mr.. Lalley says there is plenty Of competi-
ticn in the aluminium selling business in the United
States and Canada.
Robert Nesmith, who lives at Rye and is in the sd
vertsing business in New York. is another pirate hob.
byist. He collects all manner Of things and books re-
latng to pirates and buccaneers. and is very proud Of
a wax figure Of Blackboard, made by Dwight Franklin.
lie calls his Rye home "The Foul Anchor" and spends
much spare time working on a photography Of pirate
books.
Interest in the Vestris tragedy lasted nearly a week
IN New York. which Is a sea-minded town. Nothing
has impressed me more f~orcefully in years Of connec-
tion with news getting. news publishing and news corn
mentary, than the speed with which interest in a great
tragedy passes. The Vestris investigation kept on
turning up shocking facts and suspicious for weeks,
but nobody talked about Il. And ! have no doubt that
plenty Of ships arc leaving port. as they always did,
without seaworthy lifeboats or seaworthy crews.

The church is never sufficient for her task. She

God for the redemption OF mankind. We need to view
the great first principles of the gospel Of the Son of
God with new light.
We have come to the door Of a new day. Christian
thinking needs to be deep, broad and expansive. This
center Of Christian life is not a creed or a book but o
life. Jesus Christ stands alone. Next to him are the
prophets of ancient Israel.
