FLAYS SUFFRAGE"!". Unsentimental Observer Sees Airing of Old Grudge Against Men. Editor Palladium: 1 have had a keen interest in the "Married Life" series since the second year and all the while have noted particularly the characteristics of the principles. That irrational female, who

calls herself "Suffraget," is undoubt-. edly some rejected, vindicative indi-1 vidual lacking of all personal charms ( or attractions, who, on account of come such fanatical remonstrations as those set forth in her supposed com-, merit on "Married Life," but which is really a verbal tirade against the male sex, has a grudge and enough antipa-' thy toward man in general to consider herself capab.e of commenting on reasonable subjects like matrimony. Perhaps Warren is over strenuous ! and unreasonable in some ways, but it ; Is this very thing which retains the ' love of the docile Helen. Moreover, there would be a still more tragical: matrimonial affair if Helen had 'spunk'' added to her ultra nonsensi- j cal female eccentricities. Evidently the majority of those who comment on; this story have not given the minor j characteristics of Helen and Warren ; much study. Helen is not. worthy of i all the pity, nor Warren deserving of; all the censure which has been ex-1 pressed. Many have taken thjs oppor- i tunity to air their personal grievances.; The "old hens" cry that they should . scratch is without reason. Warren is; terse but what judicious request has lie refused his wife'.' Because she likes more "coddle" and "babying" 1 than a business man of Warren's tern-; peranient can afford to indulge in is ! no reason why he should be termed a ! brute by feminine "soreheads" and masculine "henpecks." It does seem strange since the child! plays so important a part in domestic , life that Vinifred should suddenly disappear entirely from this story. I ' would suggest that the writer dispense: with the monstrous shopping tours,! restaurant tete e tetes and insienifi-:

car.t domestic difficulties with shop' keepers and maids, and give the read-; ers something new. Bring Warren's i iujiner rival back on the scene, send I Helen away, interest Warren in a club j or other society, anything to keep the

VOTES FOR WOMEN. Editor Palladium:

After living with two husbands who : other things this month.

reduced from $245 to $150. It was a wrap she could wear for years, and an opportunity ehe could not miss. She had felt sure Bhe could manage this, for her uncle always sent her a generous check for her birthday, which was the 26th. So she had paid a $60 deposit and was fitted out for the alterations. Yesterday was the 26th, but instead of the check had come only a letter wishing her "many happy returns," with an apologetic reference to hard times. A DESPARATE CASE. The coat was to be delivered tomorrow with a C. O. D. bill for $100, and she had only $35. She was desparate. What should she do? Helen was most sympathetic. But surely if she explained to her husband he would give her the money. "Oh, no, no, that is the point. I don't dare tell him! You see." re-

"Oh, of course," Mrs. Thurston, with a hauty, injured air, made a motion as though to rise, "If you don't wish to lend It to me that is different. I am sorry I troubled you. I wouldn't want to be under obligations to any one for so small an amount. If I had thought it wouM Inconvenience you, I CERTAINLY would not have asked for it!" This injured air had its intended effect. Helen felt duly ashamed and mercenary, and she arose with an almost apolegetlc "Oh, I didn't mean it that way! If twenty-five dollars will help I will be very glad to let you have that." HELEN IS DUBIOUS. Helen got her check book and made out the check, which Mrs. Thurston took with effusive assurances that she would return it very soon. When she had gone, Helen stood staring out of the indow with con-

FUSS OVER THEM. Editor Palladium: Every night my husband and I quarrel over Helen and Warren's troubles. He says she is to blame and I say it is

ail Warren's fault. All that I can say i ey of her! She should have sensed

"Wouldn't the store keep the coat for you for a few months?" ventured Helen. "I am sure if you would explain it, they" "Oh, it is only a small shop and they are going out of business. That's why thc are closing out everything so cheap. If I can't pay the rest of the money I wilj lose my $50 deposit!" In a flash Helen realized what Mrs. Thurston wanted to borrow the mou-

is that neither of them have enough real sense to fuss over, but we do anyway. D.

Just What She Needed. There is an old saying that "There is a remedy for every ill." It is sometimes years before you find the remedy exactly suited to your case. Mrs. Rachel Cribley, Beaver Dam, Ohio, was sick for two years with stomach trouble and constipation. She writes: "My Neighbors spoke so enthusiastically of

it before. There was a moment's tin- j comfortable silence then Mrs. Thurs-j ton made the plunge.

"Oh, you don't know how I hate to ask you, it is so fearfully embarrassing. But if you could only lend me

$75 for just a few weeks! Will is a little grouchy now but he will soon come around. I will give you my i note for the first of March I KNOW J I will have it then." J Helen flushed resentfully. Mrs. j Thurston had no right to ask this I

did not warrant it. i

Yet how could she refuse?

"You know I would be willing to do that much for you any time," in a hurt tone, noticing Helen's limitation. Helen thought with grim regret of

Married Man Says Another Chance May Come for Soured Miss.

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Are you going to be in this afternoon?" "Why, yes," answered Helen, wonderhigly, for over the prhone she felt the tenseness of Mrs. Thurston's voice. "Then I will come right over. There is something I want to see you about very much. I will be there in half an hour." Helen hung up the receiver with a puzzled fro-n. What could have happened? What could Mrs. Thurston want to see her about?

unless you could pay for it all? asked Helen, evasively. "I suppose I COULD let the grocery bill run another month," in frowning distress, "but Will would be furious if he knew. You could let me have at least fifty couldn't you?" Summoning all her courage, Helen

She thought of the

! given that woman who had sewed for

her that, too, had never been returned. Of course, Mrs. Thurston was different. Yet since she was so careless about money matters she might be careless about paying her debts. Helen was most exacting about anything pertaining to money. She had never borrowed a cent in her life and did not want to lend. What RIGHT had Mrs. Thurston to

come to her? She had resented the j way she had called hty up, without j giving a clew to what she wanted. ! I Then came the rankline thought of i

how secretly flattered she had been' Rev

that Mrs. Thurston had chosen her for a confidant. It was characteristic of Helen that

the more she brooded over a thing ! the more intensely she felt about it. j And after a half hour's steady revolv-j ing this in her mind, she almost hated . Mrs. Thurston. She felt, now that she' woud not harve another moment s peace j until she got back that, twenty-five dollars. Never, NEVER again would j she lend money no matter what the ; circumstances. I The thing that rankled most was that Mrs. Thurston had subtly made !

j her. feiel that she was mercenary for i j hesitating over so small a sum. She '. j knew that Mrs. Thurston prided her- : j self upon being generous, even care-1 i less, about money, and she had heard j

her speak disdainfully of people who j were "close.". j Perhaps if she was a little more "close," thought Helen, furiously, she ' would not have had to ask for this ; loan. Should she tell Warren? That question had been hovering in the back-; ground of her thoughts. She longed to tell him. Just to talk it over to give vent to her pent-up indignation i

would be a relief. l,vas late when Warren came home and she could see that he was tired and not in a very good humor. So it

was not until after dinner that Helen ventured to broach the subject. "Dear, who do you think was hwe this afternoon?" "Who?" "Mrs." Thurston. She called up and wanted particularly to see me. I could not imagine what it was all about, and when she came, what do you suppose she wanted?" Warren shrugged his shoulders. Impatiently at this round-about method. "She wanted to borrow sixty-five dollars," in a tone of indignation. "Picked you for an easy mark, eh?" derisively, as fce drew out a cigar. This was most disconcerting. His manner so plainly implied that he took it for granted she had not lent the money. "Never took much stock in her anyway," indifferently. "What kind of a hard luck story did she put up?" "Pretty good nerve to hand you that. Wonder whom she will touch next?" Helen's resolution to tell Warren was weakening. She could not. She did not have the courage. There was a moment's silence, then she faltered an anxious "But, dear, she is perfectly honest! IT anyone did lend her any money don't you think she would return it?" "Well, I wouldn't can it a gilt-edge loan. If any more of these females come around here with that sort of bunk, just refer them to me. I will give them a jolt they won't forget."

AMUSEMENTS

"Bought and Paid For." The Francis Sayles' Players are certainly giving an excellent production at the Murray this week of "Bought and Paid For" and each member of the company Is making many new friends by clever work. The play Itself is one of the best seen here in years.

There are more than one hundred thousand cloak makers in ew York city.

"Baby Mine." Next week the Francis Snyles' Players will offer a complete production of what was considered the most amusing of all comedies, Margaret Mayo's great farce "Baby Mine." All the old favorites will return to the cast next week and Mr. RayU-s will endeavor to give as good a pro duct ion as the road company seen lien' two seasons ago at the Gennett.

The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic;, in well known. Even in the smallest doses, if cort.inud, these opiates caufit? changes in the functions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, rausiag imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases such as intractable nervous dr"psia and lack of staving powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should ne-r receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The adrairtistration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any hut a physician cannot le too strongly decried, aid tho druggist should not be p. party to it. Children who are iil need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics.
