Show WOMAN'S WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Which Tell Mora Fltw to ttte Other, Hu-f, Hu-f, " hands or Wives? Some gentlemen 'had A discussion at their club the other night about the white lies it is necessary for a husband to tell his wife. All agreed that such lies were necessary to make tho domestic domes-tic wheels run smoothly. Womon, they said, could never bo made to seo things front a man's standpoint. LiCtlo matters mat-ters that were nothing at all to a man became crimes in the eyes of a woman; therefore it was necessary for a man to lie to his wife occasionally. This set me to wondering which lied to the other more, husbands or wives. Looking at the matter from behind the scenes on our side, I should say it was about even. I believe wives tell" their husbands quite as many falsehoods as husbands tell them, but about far different things. Women deceive their husbands mostly in money matters or in things which concern their family affections. If a wife is hold to a strict account for the money she spends, when she wants more than a certain sum she tells the bread winner it is for groceries or a dressmaking dressmak-ing bill. Then she takes it nnd makes a present to her dear mother, whom the husband hates, or pays a gambling debt for her brother, or gives it to her grown son or daughter to s)iend in extravagance which the father does not approve. Sometimes she spends it for the church or her pastor. But she always gets the money somehow, and if she is afraid of her husband it goes down to expense accounts, ac-counts, which appear wholly open and innocent. A wife always deceives her husband whore she is afraid of him. Yes the falsehoods are about even on both sides. But is it not rather unfortunate unfor-tunate that those who are supposed to lie all in all to each other dare not trus each other? At a meeting of the London trades union councils in London in April a woman wo-man was present as a delegate for the first time in tho history of the organization. organiza-tion. The lady was Mrs. Hicks, representing repre-senting a ropemaker's union. Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss is a promising and talented young woman on the editorial edi-torial slaff of The Rockvillc (Ind.)
