"You make your own clothes?"
Tho thief's wife swept her modish

laughed a little, llko a mischievous

"Who, me?" she said. "I can't sew."
"Vou do ypur own washing, then?"
The thief's wife looked down at her

It will be noticed that among the Is

tale, the saddest that the world knows

Corfu Is none other than the ancient

responsible for thn greatest calamity
that ever overtook the human race.
Corcyra brought on the Peloponnealan

Greece, the home of nearly all the great
trlnkera the center of the art. eloquence,
science and philosophy, which made It
the "enUKhtener of the world.' and when
Athens. went down all that was not bar
barlo went down with It.
Because Corcyra appealed to Sparta
to help It fight Athens, and because, as
a result of the fight Athens was beaten
and practically wiped out, the harm
was done that could not be recalled. It
took the world eighteen centuries to re
cover, even to part, that which was lost
through the Peloponneslan war.

Miss
"Cave Woman"
Uy MAROAUKT HUJUUAltD AVKll.
The trouble with the modern woman
has been diagnosed as too much leisure,
which she fills very effectually with club
and philanthropic work to the ruin of her
health and domestic happiness as Well.
According to several prominent writers
the remedy Is to be found. In an abrupt
return to primitive life, to the life of the
cave woman, filled with ordinary simple
duties of preparing food for her family,
tidying up the rave when absolutely noc
cssury, 'and for the rest, getting ac
quainted with her children and Inviting
her sdul to loaf.
Mrs. Daskam Uncrtu, In h recent mag
azine Btory, takes her overworked hero
ine, a member of all kinds of commit
tees and a social welfare worker, nnd
plumps her down In the middle of a nice
and very distant cave somewhere In Ken
tucky. H, Q. Welln. In his laBt novel,
cuts the problems which have" entangled
his energetto ntul up-to-dato heroine, by
yanking her off to Labrador, where she
and her husband once .more "find" them
eelvee, and the happiness of early court
ship days In the Isolated setting of a
snow-covered hut, and an Arctic wlntr.
The women In lltcraturo always fore
shadows tho popular feminine trend of
mind, so we can expect a vogue of cave
ladles, and probably enterprising real es

fering from too many nerves, too much
club life, and the ensuing domestic com
plications. Just at present the Idea of being a cavo
woman makes no appenl. In New York's
most progressive circles, because of tho
chilly temperature.
"A cave woman, Indeed," laughed a
somewhat neurasthenic member of a
woman s club, who announces on all cc
caslons that she Is expecting to break
down from overwork.
"No cave for me. My husband Just

! Th lady In auestlon was working
j hard at a charitable baauar, Into which
; sho had put enough tlm nd energy to
run an averai family for a year.
Jllsa Kancy Sayres was at the fame
bazaar and Inclined to take the cave
woman question more seriously. That
Is becaus Miss Sayres Is herself a
writer, and, while she dotsn't live In
eave, she spends most of the year In the
country, living tho nearly simple Ufe,
with the help of automobiles elsctrle
lights, motorboats, and all tH wily
neosssary adjuncts to country comfort,

Dr. Woods Hutchinson, In "We and Our
Children." utters somu rather revolution
ary, but still complimentary views about
woman and her sphere. From the chap
ter on "The American Mother" I cull a
few paragraphs:
"The Increasing participation of women
In buslnpss affairs Is at bottom an at

counting house nnd the store as clean,
na healthful and as wholesome cnvlron-
j ments for boys and girls (und Incidentally
for women nnd men as wen as mo nome
now Is; and I can hardly conceive of
any lover of his klml and friend of help
ful progress falling to do otherwise than
sympathize with them heartily.
We haVe, to a disastrous degree, for
gotten our obligations to our children In
our attempts to build up Industries, to
carve out fortunes, to conquer the forces
of nature. The real end and aim of all
these trlumps Is the child himself, as the
emblem of the future of the race. Until
even our greatest cities aro wholesome,
happy places for children to grow up In
our civilization will be crippled, abnor
mal and a failure upon one of Its most
Important sides. And wo children of a
larger growth need this Intelligent, hu
mane consideration, and will profit Just
as much by It as our little ones would."
"The club-Jolnlng. committee-belonging,
movement-promoting mother of today is
simply endeavoring to organize and apply
tho greatest force known to humanity, tho
one great civilizing power co-operation
to the problem of extending her care, and
the care of humanity, over her children
from the first ten or twelvo years of their

Intellect and kill the Initiative In any

"This Is, nut a mere glittering generality

he will tell you without hesitation, nine

and the best trained and fed and cared

"Time and tlmo again I have heard
the expression from my colleagues: 'Now
that's a family It's a real pleasure to
practice medicine In; that mother Is al
most as good ns a trained nurse, and
better than a good many, because he
knows how to use her brains In an

"There is no better mother anywhere

from a very extensive experience on both

cent as good ns the Intelligent, self
specting. Independent American mother

r
Family Doctor's Song
J
Dr. Charles I.. Dana, at tho anniversary
meeting of tho New York Academy of
Medicine, pronounced what may be fig
uratively termed a funeral oration on tho
general practitioner, of whom he spoke
as follows:
"Thero has been much said about the
disappearance of tho old-fashioned family
physician urid general practitioner. H
was a splendid figure and a useful person
In his way, but he was badly trained. He
was often Ignorant. He made many mis
takes, for one cannot by force of char
acter and geniality of person make a
diagnosis of appendicitis or recognize a
tumor of the brain. I think the old fam
ily doctor is going, and it Is a good rid
dance." i
Considering the time, place, and cir
cumstances, this -may be regarded as
an official "hall and farewell" by the
specialists to the mere doctor. But Is
It bo sure that a pub'.lc which has long
put Its trust In tho family physician
will accept his summary dismissal?
Stranger things have happened In tho
development of medical science than that
the methods of today should be dis
credited tomorrow, and It Is by no meaud
certain that a coming generation of pa
tients will rely more on specialists than
on doctors trained In the general princi
ples of medical practice.
The limitations of the "old family physi
cian" are admitted. But he knew tha
family history, and that knowledge may
bo thought to have compensated for lack
of familiarity with the newest drug from
a German laboratory or the latest deft
process in the use of the knife. The faith
his patients had In him was a curative
agency of no mean value. That faith
may have been partially lost, but it Is
premature to pronounce his obituary. For
the general physician who keeps abreast
of medical progress there Is sttlf a well
defined field of usefullnees equally witU
the specialist Austin (Tex.) Statetmon.
