vVbman's Sphere Is-in the Hume By Mral John A. Logan. Why are there jsot the game helpful. , m pathetic -women today as theerr ere"i, decide ae?

Cltliens from foreign countries have ot brought with them to this free and the same unity of puropse be een husband: and wife that exists in I most all countries. I do not prstend to say whether this true ok not, but It seems to be the onwensus of opinion of those who have nvestlgated the mutter that It Is, and hat', the women of todey are not ln erested In the success of their hus ands and the male members of their amllles. On frequently hears that when hlis and and fathers are over-indulgent vith their wives and daughters, the voman become selfish and unreason- ible and are not disposed to nhare in , he efforts to accumulate wealth or! rac tics' ' the economies and seir-de-ilat Which persons of limited means houjd exercise. , Some Glorious Baceptloas. This . certainly cannot be ald of vll our women, as we have many illus trations of the achievements of worn--n In the Interests of their husbands', lathers' and brothers' success. , There Is another phase of the ques tion... It has been claimed that Amer ican' women sometimes do too much for their husbands and occupy In dustrial positions which they should relinquish on account of the duties that devolve upon themselves as wives md s mothers. That there is some thing radically wrong there Is no dis puting. If our wdmen would cease to occupy positions which take from their homes md their families, tlmai ta their domestic duties, what tliey ;would save would probably imount to as much as what they eight earn at work which takesthem uway from their homes. , As a natural consequence, their do mestic affairs are wholly neglected, and much harm inevitably follows. It is not surprising that earning money J. reates a spirit of independence in the minds- of the best-intentioned women and quite frequently dulls the Inter est Which they should have at all times in their home and their loved ones.

Pleasant Weather Brings Throngs of Promenaders to Fifth Avenue Among Those Seen on This Fashionable Thoroughfare Are Several Visitors From Oregon Now "Doing" New York. By Getta It. Wasscrman. New Yorft, May 6. With the be- Jated arrival of spring weather. Fifth avenue nas again Decome me inecca of fashionable promenaders. On a re- I cent afternoon a number of Oregonians I mingled with the throng, amongst o ' . imngieu wint """"Si oniviiB. upy, as well as the fact that the addi-i otherg Mrs w H Skene and her tion to their Incomes through the worn an's wages must be at the expense of their domestic bliss. The, fact that wives especially ara wage earners also begets a feeling on the pert of husbands of freedom from responsibility. Husbands and wives drift apart in their aims and ambi tions of life, when, as a matter of fact, the whole responsibility of pro viding properly for their wives and i children should rest absolutely upon the husbands and fathers. . t would be Better if the women of the nation would insist upon them selves and their families being sup ported by their husbands and fathers, which would allow them to turn their attention exclusively to the discharge of their duties in their homes. Any woman who fulfills the place as wife and mother as It should be filled has little time to devote to other occupations, however, agreeable and profitable they may be. This ap plies particularly to the younger worn tw whose children are in their in fancy and require the constant atten tion Of their mothers. .la addition, the waste that follows personal Inattention to domestic af fairs far exceeds the most liberal com pensation that Is paid for their serv ices In any capacity. Women are naturally weaker physi cally, and it is impossible for them to serve two masters their homes and ; their employers without speedy de 1 struction to their health and breaking down of their nervous organisations; the inevitable result of being over ; taxed and over-worked. An Inquiry should be made as to whether the men of the present time are willing 'or their wives to undergo the drudgery and labor of adddng to ' their Incomes to lighten their own burdens,- albeit they may have to sacrlr : floe their domestic happiness. LIBRARY LIVING ROOM By Madame Maison. t Many houses are not large enough to ; have a separate room for the library ; and the average family has not suffi cient books to warrant such a room, so a combination living room and library IS a 'very happy one when well ar ranged. An open shelf or series of shelves is a f riendlx way to house books, but In a dirty, dusty town, unless one will see to the dusting, I would advise closed cases or a set of section cases to fit in where needed. They come in many elies, id may be ordered to match th woodwork exactly. .Walnut (real or stalned is Just the thing f or a the wood trim in such a room With either a dark green or gold en brown rug.

The Citizens' Air corps is composed of a syndicate of Wall street bankers who raised a fund of $100,000 as an initial fund to be increased as necessary, which is to be used in training men for the aviation service. At a recent meeting of the American Women's League for Self Defense held In the Ninth Regiment armory, the question of whether the members should wear skirts or trousers in the performance of their duties caused warm discussion.

"The reason I am always tired," a friend of mine said recently in my hearing, "Is that I am always trying- to put 15 minutes' work into 10 minutes' time. I undertake something that I could not finish In the space I have al lowed for It if I kept on a full run all the time. Then, when eome accident Interferes, all my calculations aro thrown out and everything goes wrong." I am myself constantly fighting- with the temptation to undertake more than I can accomplish In a given time. In a way, I enjoy working under the spur. That is, it I have a long, quiet morning ahead of me. With Just as much as I can put into it if I work all the while, and with the ideal set before me Of fin ishing a certain amount at a given time, there is excitement and enjoy ment about it- But X- don't like tq see three hoars work ahead of me and only two hours and a' half, in which to do it. Nor do I like a plan for fitting in every thing to the time I have at command, and then have something or some one come in and take the 10 minutes I didn't have to spare. , ' JL Case la Polat. I felt this especially the other day, when I went shopping. I don't like shopping at all; at least, not shopping as It is generally understood. If I know what I want, and where to find It, and have the money for it, I don't mind going to the place where it is sold and ordering and paying for it. But On this special occasion the thing I thought I could find at a certain place was not there, and I had to seek further. Then, when I found it, there were two cus tomers ahead of me, and I had to wait my turn, gaining an appreciation, by the way, of circumstances that make women push In ahead of others when they are in a hurry. By the time I had what I wanted, it was too late to do the other things I had planned for, and since I had not allowed any time for the hindrances I might have expected, I was forced to go home with my er rands undone. That is the trouble with so many of us. We try to put too much into a giv en time, and then, when interruptions arrive, they eat up our leisure and leave us with our necessary -work unfinished. It would be much better if wre could so plan our work from the beginning that we could decide what must positively be done, -and what we could possibly leave undone. Oh, yes, I ' have heard that before, and when I have said, "But suppose you were ill and couldn't do the things?" the answer comes, "Oh, but that is different!" Tut on the Brakes. Well, I daresay it is. When illness puts on the brakes and says, "Stop!" there is an allowance1 made for us that we could not ask or expect when we are well. But yet, if we will go over our dally ltvea calmly and dispassionately, don't you think we could find some thing that could be crowded out with out doing any great harm to any one. and whose omission would be of benefit to the person who left it undone? Then, there are the young women eager, ambitious, longing to put all Into their lives that these will hold. I rec ollect all about It. I was 'that sort of young woman myself once. As a result, they are not willing that anything of interest shall be crowded out, and so needed rest and repose are the things that go to the wall and then the girl finds out that patience and the power of endurance and of sympathy are among the things that were crowded out, and that she and others must suffer for the lack of them. It makes no difference what may be the age of the child whether she be out in the world taking care of herself, or in the Bchool, getting ready for her' life's work wherever she is, in 99 cases out of 100 she Is doing too much and crowding out some of the things that are worth more than other achievements. Not that I mean to rAlittle this view of things. Work Is about the biggest and finest thing in the world, and that is one reason I am urging you girls to do less, in order that you may do better that which you do accomplish.
