Th golf widow and tho ' fcae ball widow have just been to see me. The golf widow is fairly young anel more than fairly pretty, but She's noth ing like tho beauty she was a year ago. There is some thing a little wist ful about her eyes, and her foolish. lit tl mouth has a doleful droop that is not quite be coming The base ball widow is quite at different type. Rather a sarcastic, bitter. look in her bright eyes,' and when she smiles it is a little sad to Fee her, I don't quite know why. and yet she's gay and very lively, and always what she calls "on the go." There's something wrong about both these women, and yesterday I found out just what it was. Listen a minute and maybe you'll know-, too. "I'm the most miserable; woman alive." said the golf widow, "and I don't care who knows it. My husband, used, to be perfectly devoted to me and now I'm lucky if I get a glance from him even onco a week. I'm down sick over It, and if it were, not for the children I'd 'disap pear' like those men you read about who turn up in Seattle married to some one else and never knew how K happened. "No. It isn't another woman, it's golf, golf, golf, morning, noon and night. He leaves his office at 3 o'clock-dear me, how we counted on the time when he would be able to do that -but much good does it do me, that extra time. He tears out to the links as If the fiends were after him, plays as long as he likes, rushes home late for dinner; makes us all wait while he changes his clothes. After dinner he goes out Into the garden and practices drives, and then comes up on the porch and falls asleep In tho swing. He's just 'about as much company as a deaf, blind and dumb man. He doesn't rare about a thing nn earth but his old golf, and all I can do is to sit and wait. What, stay with us take me out. Why. Ithe idea, it's golf. golf. golf, all day long. !and I can cry my eyes out alone, and 'he'll never notice they are red. "I'm about desperate. I don't believe ihe cares for me at all any more, and this golf is Just a distraction to take his imlnd off his broken heart." The poor little Golf Widow had all she (could do to laugh, pretending she didn't mean it, and all the time ehe was talkine her wistful eyes were full of tears, though she did her best, to pretend she 'didn't know It. The Base Ball Widow laughed-such a mean little laugh. "You're a goose, my dear," she said. I used to be; but I've recovered. What ,do you care what your 'husband does between meals so long as he sends ymi th check to pay for those same mea's? "My husband is quite decent all winter, but the minute the base ball-season opens I might as well put on mourning and buy a 'not dead but sleeping' wreath and be done with It. "I never see the man I'm supposed to love, honor and obey at all except for a minute or so between games. He's always lther at the grounds yelling himself hoars-or he's at the club telling how this play was bad and that one was 'noble. "He doesn't know I'm alive till he pays the bills for my new hat or something. "Care? Not I. I'm glad of it. I mar ried a man, not a foolish little boy, and th boy bores me to death. I'm glad to b rid of him. I have my own friends, my own world; my husband doesn't know me the real me at all. "Row can he? He hasn't time to get acquainted during the summer and when winter comes I'm busy at my own fads. What he doesn't know about the sums I lose at bridge will never worry him. I Just put them on some bill or other and let it go at that. "I used to sit at home and weep over the shattering of love's young dream while husband was in the grand stand whooping himself red in the face over some Southpaw This or Straight Ball That but I've outgrown It all, and so will you, my dear, In time." The Golf Widow smiled tremulously, ighed, twisted the wedding ring on her trambling finger and said, "I suppose so." sadly, and they both seemed to think the thing was settled then and there. I think that both of them were wrong Ail wrong. Wheiv will women learn to give up trying to make men over into a kind of glorified woman? When will women lern that the life lived by the average man is the same normal, sensible life, and that the life ehe wants him to Hve is at far way from his natural In stinct as It la for a rooster to sing a lullaby V neat ful1 of downv cn'cks?

A woman is first of all a wife, then she's a woman, then she's a human being. She's got the procession all wrong, every bit wrong, and it's about time she woke up and railized it. The woman who spends her ttme "waiting" for her husband is wasting not only her own good time, but her husband's. He is normal. Why doesn't she turn around in her tracks and be normal, too? Wake up little Golf Widow, the world is a most interesting and most incredibly pleasant place. If you'd only look around and see it. Wake up and find some of the interesting people; wake up and get some Interesting books; wako up and go walking, or motoring, or tennis playin or anything on earth but "waiting." Make a fad of the children; they are fine fads, the most fascinating things in the world. Don't sit around and wait for husband to get through with everything and everybody else and then come to you. Be "getting through" with something yourself and you'll never know he's late. He isn't your whole world any more than you are. his whole world, and the sooner you realize this plain, every-day fact the sooner you'll be happy ajid mako your husband happy, too. No Men on the Planets i: The fascinating speculation the prob ability of the planets being inhabited is discussed in the journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada by Prof. Robert Grant Aitken of the Lick Observ. atory. Prof. Aitken summarises all the latest researches, and his conclusion In regard to the possibility of a high form of life on any of the planets are a3 fol lows. The Moon The moon must be regarded as practically a dead 'world, although it may be that low forms of vegetable life are sustained by water vapor exudipg through crevices from the moon's In terior. Jupiter Obviously in such a world there can be no question of life. The conditions are chaotic. Jupiter is a sernosun, probably gaseous throughout with matter distributed as on the sun. and there Js no well-defined surface or crust. Saturn This planet resembles Jupiter. but It is probably not so far advanced, and is even less fitted for habitation than Its larger neighbor. T'ranus and Neptune They are so far away from the sun that its heat and light can hardly be effective in protect ing life upon these two planets, even should life in any way originate ther. Satellites and Jupiter and Saturn-It is possible some of them may have wa ter and an atmosphere dem5 enough for life. This Is merely conjectural, and not very probable. Mercury It apparently, always keeps the same face toward the sun: It get? seven times as much hpat as the earth, and neither its eternal night nor its everlasting roasting day is suitable fir any form of life. It seems to have no atmosphere. Venus In size, mass, density and sur face gravity it greatly resembles the earth. It has a dense, cloud-filled at mosphere. The whole question as to life on Venus' turns on the problem as to the length of Venus' day. If Its day equals Its year, that planet must be utterly desolate. The question Is . still an onen one. though the evidence favor the belief that the day and the year on Venus are of equal length. MarThrA undoubtedly are strong marklncs on Mars, but astronomers are not screed as to whether the marklne are natural or artificial, canals or mere earthquake cracks. The Martian atmos phere Is rare, and there are no perma nent bodies of water on the planet. There is not enough water on the whole of Mars to fill one of the American great lakes. The so-called polar ice caps and "frost" on Mars may be de posits of carbon dioxide. The best that can be said is that while the tempera ture on Mars Is very low, there may be on that planet, to a limited extent, the conditions essential to life prob ably only vegetable and animal life, but no beings of intelligence.

When you go down the street you in stinctively judge every girl you meet by her clothes, dt.n't you? Do you realize that she is judging you by yours? I recommended a young girl for a posi tion as stenographer not long ago, and sent her with a letter to a friend of mine who had a very good position to offer. The girl was capable and efficient, and wfiH nicely and suitably dressed at least she was when she left me with the letter but she evidently thought she would improve htiseif by adding a few trinkets and make a better Impression on her new employer, for I received this irate message from him over the phone: "She's impossible I don't care how well she can work I can't stand cheap Jew elry why should ahe wear a big spark ling flim-flam on her chest in the of flee? My wife would never think of wearing so many noisy Jewels for a big dlnnpr." It was hopeless to argue with him. as the thermometer was almost at boiling point and (he man was right, anyhow. I had a heart-to-heart talk with, my small girl. She won't make the mistake again of wearing imitation diamonds, even In the form of hatpins, during working hours, for she was judged at once by the most conspicuous thing about her, the sparkle of cheap, .pretentious and abso lutely false and unsuitable ornaments. So much imitation Jewelry 1$ worn now adays that one cannot merely wave It aside and call it all vulgar, as was the custom even ten years ago. There are plenty of good near-precious stones, but there Is one unfailing rule for them. Never wear the imitation when it woqld not be good taste to wear the real jewels If you possessed them. No woman of the fashionable world wears her beautiful diamonds with a plain shirt waist or a simple cotton frock. The woman of wealth never wears a profusion of jewels except on 6tate occasions and never by daylight. She confines herself to a brooch and lace pins generally of semi-precious stones for morning wear such as are neces sary to her costume. Incidentally it is not considered good taste to wear many rings on the middle finger, for the simple reason that this makes the hand look larger and more awkward than when the rings are placed on the fourth finger Of either hand. The girl In the picture is wearing $1,000 worth of clothes, including her hat. With this costume, she could wear Jewels of any price, and were she to wear good Imitation jewelry no one would ever be lieve that it was not genuine. But she looks as if she were a young person who does not believe In sham of any kind, sham Jewels or sham feelings. Now sham jewelry Is almost always detected, excepting when one Is dressed In such a manner as to hrow the Jewels In the shade. If you wear Inexpensive frocks, wear plain and inconspicuous pins; even a real pearl neckless will be branded ts "fake" if it is worn with an inappropriate costume. Whatever clothes you wear, see that they and all the accessories are ap propriate. A party hat and a raincoat don't go together unless the hat is pro tected by a veil. The business girl can't dress like her Ister who stays at home, nor should the busy housewifely woman dodge the early morning dress question by slip ping on a wrapper.

It Is no wonder that the French revolution has such n mighty hold upon the Imagination and affection of man kindno wonder that despite the terrible excesses into which It finally drifted. It still appeals so suc cessfully to the sym pathy and admiration of lovers of humanity the world over. There Is something simply bewitching in the French world of 1789. It was full of hope, full of enthusiasm, almost In toxicated with that most beautiful of all the sentiments that cen stir the human heart faith in the victory ef right over wrong; and above It all shone the child like naturalriess and simplicity which seemed to say, "It's all right now the reign of wrong is over from now on jus tice will rule the world." All this divine hopefulness, this holy expectancy, hud Its voice in the famous national assembly . with Its 1.231 picked representatives of the rea'm, looking Into one another's eye? and planning .to wipe out' all human Industry, .by simply de creeing that It should no longer exist! And so the blessed optimists votod. unanimously, that "the feudal system be utterly abolished!" Feudalism! What a condition that woid brings to mind.

If one wants to get a little glimpse of the way the times are changing, plea? make note of the fact that the geji-. era! government in Spain has recently passed a law making begging on the, pub lic streets a misde meanor. Any individual so begging Is liable to arrest with a fine from SI to H0. For second offense Im priFonment is pro vided, without the privilege of paying a fine. Third of fenders are liable to be sent to prison for the rest of their natural lives. AH a-down the centuries men have been urged to give to the poor, and we have always taken the view that poverty was a virtue and riches a disgrace-that poor men were good and rich men bad. When wealth was only obtainable by robbery, this view of things had a certain basis in fact. But wealth obtained by rendering a service to humanity is a thing of which to be Justly proud. The parable of Dlvos and Lazarus has gotten a firm grip on the Imagination. Lazarus In heaven and Dives in hell is a particularly pleasing proposition for the great family of Lascrus. The only way to help people Is .to give them a chance to help themselves. That is all anyone should ask for-opportunity. Giving to the poor Is lending to the devil. Money earned means manhood. Money gained by an appeal to sympathy is tainted and it stains the toul of him who gets it. Now when things ate coming around. to where most everybody owns a home who really wants to, we are getting a new focus. Italy and Spain are the homes of beg gardom. But now Spain penalizes beg gary and Italy is Introducing the Monte sorrl system of education, which means eventually earning your living;' not merely securing it. The church hss always cast a mantle of sympathy around, the . sick, the lame, the decrepit, the unfit and the poverty stricken. Scientific sociology with Its high power lens shows us In the distance an Ideal world Poverty will be done away with, disease eliminated, crime abolished.
