She Married An

BY ZOB When I was in London, Eric Sands and I went to the National Gallery. I 6hall never forget a picture I saw there. It was called "Icarus." I rlid not know at the time who Icarus was, but according to the painting he was an Intrepid, if misguided, youth who tried to make himself wings and fly. He fell to earth, of course, and so poignantly had the artist depicted his failure and death, that I could not ehake off the gloom It threw into my soul. I remember bow Eric Sands tried to cheer me, taking me to a jolly little But here! I did not Intend reminiscing. What I started to set down in this book was that my attempt to fly has failed. Yet not altogether like Icarus's. For while the editor of "The Messenger" has quite definitely turned down my stories, he has not turned down me. This sounds immoral, but I must not be squeamish with my diary. It is not immoral; it is only human, which in turn means that he had a job to give out and he gave it to me because I was an attractive woman. The world would be Elysium and the Millenium would be at hand if men decided everything with their heads instead of their senses. Men have always been swayed by woman's appeal to their imagination and they always will be. It is woman's part to see that the best, and not the worst, imaginings come true. I might have said to Mr. Randy Lynch, editor of "The Messenger": "Now, in accepting this job, my dear Mr. Lynch, I contract for nothing but the work my salary covers. As you know, I have a husband. I am not go

Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am nineteen years old and have been going with a young man two years my senior for almost two years. I think he loves me, as he has often told me so. I haven't made up my mind yet whether I care for him enough to have him for my life partner. I didn't have the opportunity to associate with other men to find out whether I love him or not. my parents not allowing me to have social gatherings. I don't know what to do. I do not intend to get married for three or four years, but he thinks if you go with a gentleman for a while you are going to marry him. That isn't my Idea. In my opinion a girl should pick her life partner and not take the first one that comes along. How can I meet other men? Also please tell me how to explain to my parents how necessary it 13 for me to give parties and to Invite friends to dinner. My parents could certainly well afford to have entertainments. HEART BROKEN. When a girl gets "tied" to one man if is difficult for her to break away and make other friends. Young men take it for granted that she is engaged and look for other girls.

Wheeler Verily, my Daughter, a foolish damsel raiseth her voice in protest against the League of Matrimony, crying: "Strike therefrom the word "obey" or I shall not sign it!" But a wise virgin keepeth her counsel, and placeth her trust in the Self determination of Little Wives Behold, she accepted the Marriaga Treaty "as is." But she formeth her own "interpretations and reservations." For lo. she knoweth, in her heart, that there IS a way! And she perceiveth, that if she but yseldeth sweetly unto a man's desires and commands in all the petty things, she sha.ll rule over him. without trouble, in GREAT THINGS. For. verily, cr.ily, in the small things of life a man is strangely small, but in big things, he is astonishingly BIG! And SO simple! Go to! She that insisteth upon selecting her Beloved s cravats and dictating the height, of his collars is a thorn in his side, and a torment to his soul. Yet, the dwelling-place in which he must live, and move, and spend all his nights and holidays, he permitteth her to choose, without question.

Behold, she that shattereth her Hus band's favorite pipe or trifieih with his razor shall be bitterly reviled. And for her that hangeth his trousers upside-down, he hath no mercy! Yet. peradventure, if she breaketh hla heart, or rifleth his purse, or rlopeth with his chauffeur, she shall receive his full pardon, and be covered with kisses and forgiveness. She that seeketli to move his shoes from the left-hand side of the chiffonier to the right-hand eide thereof, shall be met with reproaches. But, when she naggeth him to remove his place of business from Punk ville to New York, or from New York to California, he capitulateth without protest.

BECK LEY ing to flirt with you. I am simply going to do my aidly stunt as well as I can, be pleasant and smiling whenever I am in the office, and attend to my home, my husband and my own affairs when I have finished my business with you." Making a speech like that would have been very virtuous, no doubt, but it would have been a gratuitous insult on my part, and good cause for resentment on his. The exertion of sex charm Is, I think, quite taken for granted. Men do it no less than women. Note the good-looking chaps who come to collect bills or solicit orders. Ncte the debonair dancing instructors. Note the succesful lawyers and physicians. I have never seen a woman's doctor who was not attractive and did not make big capital of his pleasing ways. And so, being just an ordinary woman who wants work, wants to please and wants to live a full life, I used my personality as an asset, put forth my best efforts to charm and landed Mr. Randy Lynch's job. This job consists of answering scores of letters from subscribers to "The Messenger," asking everything from how ti pin on a baby's most intimate underwear to the most delicate way of declining an Invitation to dine I think it is going to be fun. I can do my work at home, and it pays a fair wage. I may not be an airplane, but I am better than a turtle. By the way, Jim has refused to go to Athena Hast's masked ball. Query: How far should a wife set aside her own wishes to please her husband? (To be continued.) Almost every church has a crowd of young people who are the spirit of their socials. It seems to me that if you attend church gatherings you will have opportunity to meet young people and make friends. Since your parents will not allow you to entertain at home, why don't you give a weiner roast somewhere in the country. You could take about a three-mile hike, build a canipfire and serve buns, weiners, coffee and marshmallows. The coffee can be cooked over the fire and the weiners and marshmallows roasted. Some parents are unreasonable about "entertaining. Of course you should have a chance, but you cannot force your parents to give you that privilege. Ask permission when they are in good humor and do not annoy them with the request when they are not in good spirits. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Kindly furnish me with a few suggestions as to what I should bet in making a bet with a young man whom I have known for stome time? MABEL B. Bet a box of home-made candy or a book. If he loses the bet he should buy you candy. loineth his newspaper, borroweth his brushes, or giveth away his old clothes. Yet, will he cheerfully yield unto her the tenderest portion of the steak, hand over his salary, and deliver all his worldly goods into her keeping. Verily, verily, the words of the i Treaty of Matrimony may read "Love, j honor and obey I" But a Wife's "interpretation" is: ! "Ijove, humor, and cater and then do j as thou pleasest!" Selah.

ENGLAND FACING SERIOUS PROBLEMS, SAYS MARY HENKE

(Editor's Note: Miss Henke, formerly city editor of the Palladium, arrived In England. Oct. 12. to study social conditions and to do Journalistic work. This Is the first of a series of articles she will contribute to the Palladium on her investigations In England.) By MARY HENKE. LONDON, Oct. 17. The labor situation Is still the dominant problem before the British nation. Everybody Is fearful of what the next few months will bring. The temporary adjustment of the railroad strike did not settle anything, in the general belief, and it is considered doubtful that even should prices fall to their former low level, the men would be willing to return to the old scale of wages. The railroad men have had few sympathizers among the general public. A number of the strikers had been exempt from military service because of their occupaton, and thi3 fact, combined with the service soldiers and sailors were called to render during the strike, helped turn public sentiment. "When a man served his country for 5 years, it Is pretty hard to call him in again to do the work of the man who didn't have to go to war," is the comment of many. Million to Work. Public officials have estimated that a million men and women will be thrown back into production employment from military service within the next few months, and it is considered that the most serious labor crisis is yet to be faced. Demobilization is proceeding quickly, and the government must face two problems in finding work for the returning soldiers, and in providing for the women workers who will be thrown out of employment. The presence of many colonial soldiers and foreigners in England and i especially in London, is adding to the difficulty of placing returning fighters in employment. It is estimated that 15,000 Canadian soldiers obtained their discharge in England and are remaining in this country to work. Others who were unabje to receive discharge in England, are returning from Canada, and fighting men from Australia and New Zealand are not showing great eagerness for the most part, to return to their native colonies. Many foreigners from neutral countries who came here to work during the war, are still holding on to their jobs. And the United States and Canada are sending over native Englishmen, workingmen for the most part, who were una8le to get home during the war and have been attracted by family ties and the news of high wages now being paid the average workingman. Food Prices Not High. To the American, food prices in England are not abnormally high. Dairy products are scarce and command high prices. Milk sells for about 25 cents a quart and eggs have been selling for twelve cents apiece. Butter is very scarce, and efforts of the government to stimulate production have not yet proved successful. Dairymen receive such a high price for their milk it is said, that they find it more profitable to sell the milk than to make butter. The labor situation in the United States seems to provide a certain What about ugly skin Why don't you get rid of them?

amount of consolation to the British press. The newspapers recently recounted the fact that there were seventy strikes now on In the United States, and that most of them were from trivial causes. There is a tendency to Imply that England dealt more successfully with her problems In meeting the railroad strike, than the United States has been able to do with the steel strike. Everywhere one hears that England Is a poor nation. The Northcllffe press is violently attacking the government for its extravagance, and recently charged that it was spending $8,000,000 a day more than its income. It is claimed that the state's extravagance and uncertainty as to taxation are hampering trade and commerce and are preventing a quick return to normal conditions. Surrenders to Labor. Among a certain class of English

people the fact that Lloyd George is not a "gentleman" as the word is accepted over here. Is considered the explanation for what is held by them his failure to deal successfully with the crisis that has been facing the government. It is felt that he has made too much concession In the workine men and has permitted himself to be ruled by their organizations. On the other hand, the working men are demanding more power and greater representation in governmental affairs. The coming session of the House of Commons will have its task cut out for it in dealing with the situation. Home of Jesse James Open for Sightseers (By Associated Press) ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Nov. 3. Surrounded by weeds and underbrush, a squat and weather-beaten cottage of four rooms stands almost forgotten near the heart of St. Joseph and within two blocks of two trolley lines. The house was once occupied by Jesse James, the famous Missouri bandit. A sign on the front door of the cottage informs the casual passer-by that for the modest sum of 15 cents, including war tax. presumably, the visitor may 6ee the room in which th3 chief of bandits was shot to death by "Bob" Ford the morning of April ". 1SS2, as he was hanging a picture. The bullet hole in the wall of the room and the place where the blood stains are said to have been are pointed out to the curious. A score or more years ago a visit to St. Joseph was not considered complete without a jaunt to the home of Jesse James. But times have changed that war and everything, the old couple who are completing nearly twenty years residence in the former i bandits dwelling explained and visitors are rare.

AMERICAN ART EXHIBIT PARIS

(By Associated Press) PARIS, No. 3. American soldiers and sailors and workers for the Young Men's Christian Association and Red Cross mingle with the crowds attending the exhibition of American paintings at the Luxemburg museum, the first of its kind to be held in Paris. While unstinted praise is given to the many beautiful paintings, some humorous comments are to be overheard anent a few which appear strange to the novice in art. "Wouldn't I like some pumpkin pie," said one of the boys while admiring Victor Higgins' striking picture "The Pumpkin Girl." I One picture which draws big crowds is "The woman in Yellow." by William MacGregor Paxton, and much ad miration is accorded to John Christen Johansen's "Portrait of an Old Lady." This artist was recently in France making a study of General Joffre for the National academy. Douglas Volk has an attractive portrait picture "Marion of Hewn Oaks." and. has been engaged on a painting of King Albert of Belgium, which is intended for the National Academy of Arts. Returning soldiers were attracted by a canvas of Clifford Beal, "The Hour of Peace," depicting decorations at Thirty, fourth street and Fifth avenue, New York, Red Cross workers admired Gardner Symons' painting, "In the Shadow of the Bridge," an exquisite study of winter sunlight on an old wooden shack and snow-covered ground, with the stonework under the bridge casting wonderful shodaws on the water. Walter MacEwen has a beautiful canvas entitled "Sunday in Holland," picturing two Dutch girls ready for church, bidding good-bye to old granny in her chair, and a contrast to tnis gentle scent is the late Robert McCameron's grim and realistic picture, "The Slum of London," depicting a dow of men and women of the "underALBERTA COAL DEALERS CLAIM AMERICAN "FREEZOUT" CALGARY, Alta., Nov. 3 Alberta coal dealers are protesting because of the alleged fact that their product is being "frozen out of the market" by American coal.
