"Did you ever go into the old part of the cemetery, John, and look at the headstones; and then take a walk intosthe modern place where the dead lie and compare the headstones you see there with those you have just read? 'Noy sajd John, looking as though he thought I had gone suddenly mad. "What has that to do with what we are talking about?" J"Just this. When I was down in the country this summer, John, after my mother's death, I' visited the ce- metery very often; and one day I wandered over into the old part. You know those New England graveyards as they used to call them, are some of them a hundred years old. Wan- dering among the motnds one day, I was struck with the number of graves tifat surround the one that was marked with the man's name. There would be: 'Mary, Beloved Wife of John Smith, Aged 35' and 'Me- hitable, Beloved Wife of John Smith, aged 38," and perhaps even 'Martha, Beloved Wife of John Smith, Aged 43. In every one of those plots of ground you found some tomb with four graves marked with the name of a woman who had died, before sheswas fifty. And beside them was always one man, who had lived to the hale and hearty age of four-score years and ten. Oftentimes I have sat beside one of these burial plots and wondered if the women below these headstones were not a little glad, at last ,to be at rest. Each one, I pic- tured as wearing herself out for the husband who on her headstone, at least, had called' her his 'Beloved Wife.' And I wondered idly how many times he had called her that in life. These different graves told a story of women to whom love was 'woman's whole existence' and to whom the definition of love was the administering to the comfort and ---- Sane BY THE REV. CH that women are happier to selfishness of some man until, thor- offghly worn out, they were laid away in this quiet resting place."John, I believe many of our grandmothers would have hied themselves to the divorce court had they thought they could have earned their bread and bitter out in the great world." John fairly snorted. "I believe, really and truly, John, ay than they were in our grandmother's time, You see, we reason thing$ out and we take things that we know belong to us. We do not intend that our headstones shall be marked 'Beloved Wife, Aged twenty-eight, thirty or forty,' as the case' might be. Instead the woman of to-day who manages to bring up her children and take care of her home until she is forty or forty-five, finds that then she has just begun to live. Her children are married, or at least they do not de- mand as much of her atttention and she finds time to do the things that she has always wanted to do, I have come to the same conclusion ag Alice, John, that woman's entrance into the affairs of the country is going to do much for woman." "I can't understand," said John, impatiently, "why you and I have come to the point of always discugs- ing abstract things. I donm't--beleve any normal man wants to discuss an abstraction with any woman. When I want to have a good discussion, I want a man as my opponent. Beside, am not particularly crazy to discuss anything with a woman of forty, or over. Personally, I think woman's advent into politics is a great mis- take. What in the world a lot of old hens find to cackle about in the election of John Smith to the office of dog catcher, I never could tell." "You'll feel differently about it, John," I said somewhat flippantly, * when women decide that they do not like the way that John Smith performs the duties of his office as dog catcher and elect Mary Smith to do the work." Even John laughed at this. (Copyright National Newspaper Service. TAKING CARE OF THE GIRLS ARLES STBELZLE. r t The other day, hundreds of "wo- men of the streets' invaded the office of the leader of the 'clean up the town" movement, and asked: "What is to become of us?" They declared that they couldn't get jobs at a living wage, that most of them bad children to support, and that their past would rise up against them if they tried to "live straight." However, these statements may be met in a purely academic discussion by people who have never been up against what these women are facing, there is something in their conten tion. It's all right to say that they should: never have gotten into this condition--they'll admit that you're right on this point--but there they are, and "What is to become of us?" thev are now asking. Nobody knows. Some of them will g0 to other cities which haven't yet closed their red-light districts or where such women are still tolerated. A very few may go to the "homes for fallen women," where they'll be stdred at and patronized by the dear folks who support such institutions. A still smaller number m Iback to their disreputable husbands, from whom they fled with their chil- dren in order to be free from an in- tolerable existence. Some may again try "industrial earn about enough to make them realize the utter impossibility of get- ting over the border line of respecta- bility in surrouhdings, in physical comfort, in genefal cultare, in social lite; enjoying those refinements to which every woman is by nature en- titled. : Possibly some will become house- maids and general servants--where they will work continuously for from 12 to 16 hours a day, sleep in unven- tilated little coops, and be made to feel that they belong to an inferior order of human beings. They may do any or all of these things, but they've already tried them all and failed. Indeed, ' in many cases these were the very conditions that drove them into the red-light district. : Some of them are "bad women." Some are "lazy." Some are "too fond of dress." Some "enjoy this life." Some are "weak-minded." You're right. The fault isn't all on the side of society or the.state. But, in the main, society is to blame. + We are permitting ecomomic condi- tions which literally compel women to 'lead lives of shame." Women receive rarely dustry. They rarely receive the same wages that men receive for doing the same work. = Wo are tolerating conditions in the married relationship which are worse than unfair to women. And of these conditions could be re by Te by permitting women e. to X And the ou situations many servant girls are compelled to put up with could also be remedied law and by the voluntary action the mistresses of homes in which servants are employed. We are quite ] ] these "women of street," when responsibility in get- ting industry, and the state--and principally ourselves--set right in this matter, . 'We have set up certain moral standards which we expect others to adhere to--even these women, who, equal as the equal treatment of un- equals. If they are inferior to our- JuCivan-1a any way and for any rea- son--we must be charitably-minded toward them. y -- Attempts have been made in the past, with more or less. success, to meet the needs of working girls by establishing "hotels" or "homes" for their comfort, but in most cases the promotors have left out of their con- sideration altogether the element of a RU "GIRLS!

That} the Mill, ° human nature, which cannot be mea- sured by the finest micrometer ever invented. They seek to classify hu- ities his millions of bugs. But some- how, their "subjects' or "cases" will not stay classified. They have a fashion of breaking out in the most unexpected manner, upsetting all the calculations of the socioligist Now the average working girl is very human. She can't help it; she was born that way, and since thar time she has acquired a lot of 'the commodity which we know as "'tem- perament." Ii this she isn't a bit different than the lady bountiful who Is putting up the working girls' hotel, given the same chance to exercishrd with the exception that she isn't given the same chance to exercise it. Therefore, it might be a good plan to have the hotel promoter put her- nelf in the place of the "problem" in whose interest she is building this enterprise. 'And--by the way--it might be a good thing to ask herself how she would like to be regarded ag a "problem." There's something inspiring and ~ennobling in the thought, isn't there? To have other folks hold meetings to dissect "one' and talk over how "one" is to be helped! To be sure, plans must be talked about and the favored ones are to be heartily commended for their inter- est in those less fortunate than them- selves, but it they do it in the spirit of patronage and paternalism and with the notion that they are dealing with creatures of a lower order, they may as well quit at once. The average working birl is too high-spirited to stand for such an attitude, and for this she is to he congratufated. It would help mightily to have in charge of such a hotel a warmly aym- pathetic woman who knows life and its battles and who has regard mostly for general tendencies and not for the trifling things which are merely in- cidently. And may the Lord deliver he~ from the professiopalism which kills so many otherwise splendid en- terprises. 'There must, of course, be due re- gard for the well-being of the girls who may live in the hotel, but the honor system dis very much better than one which crowds out all natur- alness and spontaneity. Fashion- able folk must not conduct such af- fairs as mere fads. They should be started only after a careful investiga- tion as to the real need for such en- terprises, and after all the factors have been carefully considered. And the human element is not the least of these. Told in Twilight : .« = =» (Continued From Page Three.)
