In that day everyone -men and women both ioueht there was some argu ment about it. Women were t to do all the hard work in the world, and the few who ktruggled through law or faedical courses invariably came out ahead of the men in class work, but there was a feneral impression that no hatter how estimable and ivable members of the weak er sex were, they shouldn't ave any authority. Nothing to say about schools, or politics, or busi ness, or housing, or morality. The only voices that could 'speak on these topics were of men. In the delicate questions of their souls, of heir ailments, of incomes fld responsibilities, women pust be guided by men. women are not yet awake. They are still being led blindfolded trough life by the all-controlling rales.

But I believe many a woman wom-an would find herself out of the woods of headaches, depression. nerves, discontent, if she sat down seriously today or better, took a long walk, while pondering the question, ques-tion, "What changes in our lives would make me happy? What would I LIKE to do?" Almost always the answer is near er than she thinks. Set In His Ways. "My husband is the best man in the world," a Philadelphia wife once wrote me, "but he is set He hates anything out of the way. For example ex-ample when two summers ago I clipped my little girls' hair quite short, for their comfort and my convenience con-venience in the hot weather, he was so angry and so long resentful that I paid dearly for it, and so did the girls. This year they wear curls, a great care for mother. Our boy is six months old, and as I do all my own work I was glad to get the baby-pen into commission again. But Kent has decided that the pen may curb the baby's natural daring, as he grows, and he won't let me use it. "We have a pleasant back yard with maples and elms in it, and I have hedges around the clotheslines and the barrels. Often I would like to serve lunch or- supper there, for the birds do the clearing up and I can make a meal a picnic, with paper pa-per cups and napkins. But this conventional con-ventional man of mine is always conscious of the few back windows of neighbors' houses that overlook the yard; some one MIGHT be look ing down on us and our hamburgers! "Kent hands me his pay check every week; he doesn't drink; he invps his wife and children. We save, and we own a lovely roomy home. But it is trying to be checked at so many turns, and I am won dering if you ever had a problem like mine to solve, and what is the cure. Regimented Living. "I must not send poems to the evening paper, because it embarrasses embar-rasses him. The children are never permitted to see the funnies' in the Sunday paper.

"It's only that if he woiua De a little less critical we would all be so happy." This letter is about six years old. I quote it as a perfect illustration of the state of vassalage in which some women unconsciously live. The man neither knew he was a tyrant, nor the woman that her life was being be-ing robbed of all its bloom.

Use slices of orange or lemon, mint leaves, whole, fresh or canned cherries or berries, for garnishing.
