Wage Earner After Marriage
Hy lK)ROTHV 1IX.
One of the curious problpms that mod.
rn social conditions have Interjected Into
'matrimony Is the right or advisability
of the wage earning woman to continue
t follow a gainful occupation after mar
riage. Of course, . If the
.woman Is of a do
Imextlo. .disposition
and her taste nnt
lurnlly runs to pots
land pans, and if
I she marries a man
iwho Is well-to-do,'
'nnd amply able to
I comfortably sup
port her, tho ques
tion settles . ifself.
There are, how
I ever, many women
' who have no turn
.for rnnkini! . and
sewing nnd scrub
bing, and to whom
, the very name of
housework is Ana
thema,, but who
iliave, the money-
making talent keenly developed, ond who
;treathe best 'In the' atmosphere of store
or office. There are also many other
.women who marry delightful men who
have every other charming virtue ex
irept the Instinct for getting on In the
, world. ( ........
Should the woman who loathes to cook
,and loves .to keep books be forced to
cook merefy because (ho gets married?
Should the woman who can earn a.
Week outside of her home be forced to
lo th work that any f2 domestic could
do better than she cun? Should, the wo
unan who has spent years of time and
thousands of dollars perfecting .lwrself
to follow some calling abandon her pro
fession and throw away all of this ef
ifort and money Jut because she takes a
husband?
Should the woman who 1b capable of
earning enough money to give herself all
Itlie comforts of life be forced, to go on
half rations, and do without all of the
refinements and luxuries she might have,
.simply because she Is married to a man
!who doesn't pet along, tut whose prldo
.will be hurt If his wlfe works outside of
the family circle?
', In short, inus-t a woman choose between
love and husband and home, or business,
lunlcw she hapens to have the luck to
'bo domestic herself and marry a pros
perous man?
These be hard questions to answer and
1 1, for one, shall not attempt to solve the
problem, which, after all. Is ono of those
Individual ones that each couple must set
I tie for Itseir.
In ono' way It seems a foolish enonomlc
j waste for a woman to fit herself for an
'occupation tlmt she probably vrlll not
follow -mole than three or four years,
and not -even that long If she happens to
have appealing blue eyes and a peachy
complexion. It Is also cynically amusing
to reflect on tho quality of a man's love
who Is perfectly willing for his wife to
follow an 1 uncongenial and exhausting
lino of Work In tho home In order to help
htm, lut who is arhamcd for people to
see her doing some e:uy and agreeable
work outaldo of the home. Nor, in strict
justlca. Is there any r:oro reason why a
married woman has, le-.-s r'ut to fo'Iow
ihe occupation in which sho U hnpplest
and most skilled than 11 rinrricd msn has.
Nobody suggests that Mr. Joi-.es should
give up being a commercial traveler and
become a tailor, or a baker, Just lcause
he Is married. Why khould Mary Smith,
who Is a cvacker-Jaclt sleswoma-i, be
turned into a co:,!: J'-ir. because sl.e en
ters the holy estate?
On the otlirr Ua.C t!-.rro is. o.' course,
the traditional ai.J ixnenllunal view of
the subject, that Lome i"n't home unless
a woman Is c'.iiiine.l to tho kitiiitn range,
and 1 have a letter front u woman who
signs herself "An Old-Kiishloncd AYI.'e,"
who ably sets forth lli!s side of the mut
ter. She writes:
"I'toes a tiusband ffl flattered In t'iii
lnowledge that his wife can earn a good
week's pay? Is he d lighted to have the
world know that she iluev? Is a home,
where all the duties of hoiwkeeplng are
dona by a hireling, alluring to lilr.i? Is
It not merely a boarding place for two
Instead of for tho public? 1.1 home a
home in the enVe of the good old days,
when women forsake the sacred fireside
for the office and such life channeU of
Income?
"What is to become of this dear, sweet,
old institution known oa home if the
mother, who should be Its queen. Is
hanging over a typewriter or ledger all
her yeart? What is to become of the lit
tle oues who see their mother only long
enough to kiss her good night?"
All of the (iroblems, except the one
Involved In the question of the children,
are easily solved. . As for a home not
Being alluring that is run by a competent
servant. It is likely to bs a lot more at
tractive than one that la conducted by a
blundering wife. W are getting a long

made everything she did better than what
anybody else did, and there are mighty
few of us now who would be willing to
risk our lives on mother's bread and
mother's pies. We prefer the output of a
sanitary scientific bakery.
Also the time is passing In which men
hold to the arrogant notion that a
woman must be Inferior to a man and de
pendent upon him. and with it will come
a husband's Joy lit his wife's success nnd
her ability to do things outside of the
home. When that glad day arrives a
man's vanity will not be hurt by know
ing that his wlfo eurns her own money
and helps along the family. Also in
selecting a wife a man will look out for
a companion more than he does for a
cook.
The kitchen and the drawing 'room can
take eare of themselves, but the nursery
Is another matter. No incubator can take
the place of a mother's brenst, no trained
governess Is a substitute for the brooding
mother love of even an Ignorant woman,
and when there are babies In a householu
everything should be sacrificed to their
needs. They ire mother's career, and
they are her pay envelope.
But this question of the right or a
woman to work after, marriage Is on
that should never disturb the home circle.
In the first place, unless a man is able to
support a family so that his wife doesn't
feel tho need of earning money, he has
no right to ask a' woman to marry him.
And, In the second place, if a girl hatos
domesticity and isn't willing to give tip
her work and make a home for a man.
she has no right to marry..
The only exception to this rule Is when
a couple are broadmlnded enuough to dis
cuta the matter before marriage and to
have a thorough, understanding that each
la to pursue his or her calling after mar
riage, and that they are to be pals and
comrades, -and preserve their financial In
dependence. I have known many couples
who have done this and who are happy
and contented, although they live In
hotels, and the woman makes money in
stead of bread.

Ber.ator L,uUo Lea of Tennessee, apropos
of the operatloa for transfusion of blood
that he so nobly underwent on his wife's
behalf, sold at a dinner in Washington:
''Latter-lay surgery is a wonderful
thing, and I'm sure you won't think rue
at all disrespectful if I tell you a strange
stcry about it.
"I have a friend nutned Jasper, and,
meeting him tho other day, 1 said:
" 'julixr, you look, cumehow, queer.'
" 'X expect it's my nuse,' said he. 1
fell down a coal hole and tore a big piece
oat uf It.'
"Why your nuso seems all right," said I.
" 'Uii. yes,' said Jasper, 'It seems all
right. Ths surgeons, you know, grafted
a piece of my arm on it. liut the shape
is changed, and besides I can't go to the
ball games any mors.'
"'No? said I. -Why not?
" 'Because,' said Jasper, 'having a piece
of my arm in my nose, whenever I get
excited over a good play I start to wave
it, and that makes i.io so conspicuous.'

Brnd a !srtro-mngntlo Impulsa or wava
through tha nlr and direct a balloon, or
along over tlio sea and direct tlin move
nicnlA of boats, and you will solva one
part of the problem of acting at a dis
tance. And with no human or boat or
balloon. This la a very recent achieve
ment. C?ould the reador secure one glimpse of
tho wireless mechanism now In use
throughout the world, en manse, he would
be surprised at Its magnitude.
Hunts have been steered to right or
left, stopped, started, reversed, acceli'r
atcd, retarded and controlled In every way
by an operation In a wireless plant on
the shore. No wire from man to bout
waves of electric force only.
None must fall Into the mistake, how
ever, that power to run tho boat was
transmitted from land. Accumulators of
electricity l.a., . StoraBe batteries actuat
ing a motor were on board the vessel.
Now, the wireless starts, stop and re
verse this motor, or can actuate a gaso
line explosJoii motor, with a facility equal
to tha of an engineer on the boat. This,
indeed. Is a triumph of limitless mind
ovr the forces of nature.
The first trial, made on a lake In Ger
many, was the managing of a boat
thirty-three feet In length, having a four
and one-half-horsepower motor. On
board waA an. attuned receiver able to
receive and use waves coming In from
the signal station located in a distant
lighthouse tower. If power could bo
transmitted, then the career of man
would be almost completely changed from
its present status.
Tha operator In ths tower first caused
a gun on the boat to fire a signal shot to
attract attention of spectators. Then be
started tha unmanned . vessel, which as
sumed a speed of ten miles per hour.
Then he stopped the boat, reversed the
motor and likewise the direction of mo
tion, changed the rudder, aport, to star
board and amklHhlp; fired rockets, turned
on lights and also signals and continued
these modern wonders during several
hours.
Tha antennae, a system of wires whose
office Is to select waves from space and
tralsmlt them to the receiver In the hold
of the vessel, were stretched between
two tall, slim masts. The receiver sent
these Impulses Into the tuner, and,
when tuned, they were sent Into the dis
tributer of foree to the; motor Apparatus.
The applications of this now .perfected
wireless mechanism are numerous and of
groat value. It enables those on shore to
patrol harbors, sent boats anywhere Crom

"Dear Miss Ayer: My l.s are very
thick ad the only reason I can account
for. It is that I breatho with my month.
"Now, I had my nose operated on about
three years ago, and I hoped that It
would do away with moutli brentlilnir. I
hind my mouth when I go to bed, but
that does not keep It closed. 1 have used
an astringent for my lips, but that docs
not reduce them, so I thought I would
ssk you !f there Is any remedy for thick
lips.
"Also the least exposure uolli dries and
chaps the lips. A. FRIEND."
This generation ought to see the htft
of the hsbltual mouth breather. Tho pub
lic schools are making a crusade against
mouth breatldng, and ths next genera
tion will have Its attention culled to this
fingerous habit in a painful and effec
tive manner.
My correspondent, who had her nose
operated on three years ago should go
again to the doctor and have the nasal
passages cleared. Borne thin little mem
brane may be clogging the air passage,
and It can be removed without pain, and
in a few minutes. It Is necessary to have
this done not only because one's looks
are ruinod by mouth breathing, but be
rouMo It is bad for the health to breathe
air through the mouth, either by day or
night. Nature provided that the air
should ! warmed reaching the lungs
by passing through the nose, which also,
acta as a sort of filter and keeps dust
ond dirt particles from reaching, the
lungs.
Lots of people are mouth-breathers at
night only, breathing perfectly through
the nose during tha waking hours. This
Is attributed sometimes to a slight de
fect or clogging In the nasal passage, or
to the fact thai people whose brains are
very act've and whoa circulation la bad,
having overtattgued themselves during
I lit day. the blood does not leave the
liesd, and epeeially does not leave the
large glaud which Is situated back of
the noee. and which, with the relaxation
of sloep. settles down as a sort of pillow

shoro to ships, or from ship to ship.
Thus, a town minus a harbor or pier can
send out boats to losd or unload off
shore ships; send malls and perishable
goods. DlKtant lighthouses can be lighted,
mines fired, dynamite detonated without
danger, signal guns fired, storm bells
rung, likewise fire alarms and signals of
all kinds actuated.
One great use Is the sending out of life
saving in in Is to the drowning and to
sinking ships on rocks In surf. The waves
are broken up Into sets by the ordinary
Morse tolvRraphlo keys. All of these
beneficent ubcs tho sending of malls and
rescue of the perishing together with a
hundred others, are harbingers of ap
proach of great blessings to modern
clvllliiatlon.
Oood things turn to horrors. Thus an
ordinary torpedo can be surrounded with
a chamber of compressed air for power
and provided with an almost Invisible
float. Two upright hold antenna wires.
One of these poles contains electric lamps
visible from the shore, but not from n
ship that Is being attacked, Txxik at this
terrible engine of death. This floating
torpedo Is not to be fired from any tube
on a warship and Is not limited to alae.
This ono large torpedo, capable of being
directed with unerring accuracy from an
invisible plant on land, can bo silently
and visibly sent on Its horrible errand,
carrying a charge that will simply anni
hilate the largest dreadnaught.
Million dollar forts and million dollar
batteries of colossal guns are obsolete, for
a few torpedoes sont from unknown nooks
and corners could send to the bottom the
most formidable armada. And deadly es
ploslves can be dropped on decks from
the sky by an operator on shore hidden
from the sight of sliips. Three men cun
now annihilate a fleet in short order,
and with little expense. It Is not even
necessary to plant harbors and road
steads with mines. Armies on land can
be wiped out as easily at Ironclads at
sea.
These terrific things may at last open
up an avenue to the brain of man lead
ing to tho throne-room of reason. Then,
after having listened to reason during a
few years, man may finally sea that war
la absolutely unnecessary. And can It bs
that lyddite, exploding from sky and
sea. Is the only known chemical, device
or substance that Is able to awaken the
reason of mankind T Flowing blood and
tears, so far. In man's erratic career, have
been without effect on war-obsessed men.
It now seems apparent that dynamite, lyd
dite and cordite only can awaken slum
bering reason.

I'eople who Bleep with their heads too
high ore also likely to breathe through
the mouth becauxe the jaw naturally
dropn In sleep with the relaxation of tho
muscles.
Don't Fleep with a high pillow, do
without any pillow at all. vr with a
very small one. When you -i o settling
yourself for sleep, tilt yom d slightly
forward so that the Jaw i it fall. lie
sure you have the uliulou open, and
don't sleep with your face too near the
wall, for that Is not only unhealthy be
cause of possible emanations from ths
stono, plaster or paper, but because you
will also have that smothered sensation
unconsciously, and open j--ir mouth for
mora air.
Of course you can bind your Jaw i,(
with a silk handkerchief or bandage, but
I don't believe In that myself unless you
have tried every way of making yoursulf
breatho through your nuse at night and
failed.
Now as to tldck lips. Your lips nr
thick lii-i-uuse they are always roluxed.
Iarn to use the muscles with determina
tion, put more will power Into clublng
your Hps. You can do fcoine little exer
cises, such as pursing the lips forward
and back, tensing all the muscles, and
using a great deal of force. Study dic
tion, careful pronunciation and elocu
tion; all these things help la forming the
contour of the lips.
For the roughness of the skin use a
little vaseline or cold cream; camphor
ice Is good, and If you want to toughen
the skin a little, wet tha lips nlfht and
morning with spirlta of camphor.
You will find as soon aa your nose baa
been attended to, that you will be able
to sleep with your moutht closed, and
your doctor will probably order you to
cleanati the nasal passages dally with
si me simple remedy, like salt and Warm
water, or with an antiseptic.
