"I should like to see either Doctor Wil

with
her husband both socially and inteltectu
ally, and not the woman thnt devotes her
whole llfo to rearing her children.
The foregoing Is tho opinion of several
prominent Phlladelphlans who have made
a closo study of marital conditions either
through tho courts or by social servico
work.
It Is not meant to Imply that the woman
that devotes her health and louth to
rearing a large family may not find her
share of happiness In this world. Moth
erhood in itself Is almost a sacred In
stitution. But, on the other hand, the
mother that devotes nil her time to her
children and very little to her husband Is
not laying the foundations for a happy
nnd cnJoable home.
In speaking of old-fashioned wives, Mrs
Jane Deeter Jtlppln, chief probation of
ficer of the Domeatlo Relations Court,
said:
"Double-harness Is about as good a word
as any to use. The wife should koep pace
with her husband, both socially and in
tellectually. Old-fashloncd wives nro cer
tainly out of date. Although there Is, of
course, no rule which could fit all cases,
I think that for the majority the double
harness rule will apply.
FOX TROT WITH HIM,
"Tho wife these days should cultivate
her mind. She should, nbove all, bo n
companion. If the husband wants to
danco nnd go to theatre parties I think
sho should do the same, ills pleasures
should be hers. If he likes to fox trot and
tango she should follow suit."
Mrs. lllppln's attention had 'been di
rected to a divorce enso filed recently In
tho New York Supreme Court. Mrs. Mar
garet Coyne, who had been married 37
years and was the mother of 11 children.
had applied for a divorce and complained
that her husband told her she was "old
fushlonid nnd out of date," and that she
had not progressed so rapidly socially as
he. Mrs Coyno told the court "ho treated
me moro as a servant than a wlfo."
Mrs. Rlppln would make no cotrimont
on the Coyno case, other than to say it
was unfortunate.
"Speaking generally," sho said, "a
mother should not glvo all her time to
her children, and In so doing neglect the
husband. That Is tho old-fashioned kind
of wife, Is It not? Women undoubtedly
have changed. What Is a modern
woman? That Is hard to answer, but It
Is solf-cvldent that the up-to-dute man
seeks and wants an up-to-date woman
for a wife.
"The old-fashioned wife was more a
servant, at least certainly moro so than
tho modern wife. Formerly tho husband
paid the bills and ruled the household.
In these das the wlfo certainly has more
and more to say
"Another question to be considered Is
that of dress. Many women, tho old
fashioned kind, formerly lot themselves
go after marriage. Certainly no Irian
likes a shabby woman, and all, I think,
acmire neatness in a woman. Further
more, there Is absolutely no excuse for a
woman to be untidy.
"I don't think a man, a sensible man,
likes the kind of woman who publishes
her appearance on the street with loud
and flashy clothes. Thcro Is no need of
extravaganco In dress. That, of courso,
Is a matter that depends on the family
Income But neatness Is surely essential.
"There Is also the danger of a woman
being too modern. Dancing and amuse
ments are all right In their place, but

' By ELLEN ADAIR
This now device is being used for tho first time by speakers at
open-air meetings toany.
then amusements these days are so In
expensive. I thing tho woman or girl
who marries without home training Is
certainly at a big disadvantage as far
as future marital happiness is concerned.
Thoro Is tho danger of becoming too
modern, and In some cases tho danger
may result In serious disaster.
"On the whole, If a husband likes pretty
clothes, his wife should wear them if her
husband can afford them. Sho should bo
a companion, and give and tako. Women
as a rule have moro tnct than men, or at
least woman has moro tact than man,
and a wlfo can Influence her husband and
perhaps model him If she goes about It
In tho right way.
"No doubt a mother loves her children,
but, as I havo said before, there Is al
ways tho danger of devoting too much
tlmo to tho children and not enough to
the husband. A happy medium In most
cases should bring almost Ideal results,
especially where husband nnd wife show
both tact nnd consideration."

PAniB In wartime Is a very different
place from the. gay Paris of former
days. One sees the difference immedi
ately on arrival. When our train ftCh
the onro du word, ana i i' -"
there to the Oaro St Laialre, It seemed
tn me that widows, nnd noth ng but
widows, crowded the streets! With long
streamers of black crepe floating from
their sombre bonnets, they vere hurry
ing along, arrayed In the deepest
mourning. It struck me that nine out
of every ten women wero widows, and
I asked the chauffeur, wno iniomea
me that, nlthougn tney wero in muui.i

were not necessarily wiuuwo. w

and In most cases several membero of tho,
family.
My next impression was of soldiers
everywhere, and such poor, smnshod-up,
mutilated soldiers! At ono corner wo
passed three blind Zouaves, arm In arm
and all as cheerful as possible, while a
man In uniform conducted them acroas
the street.
Farther on wero two cripples, each
havlnc but ono Icir. their uniforms sad
ly frayed nnd dirty, but both smiling
nnd Joking with the passersby. "Re
gardes les blesses-" some children wero
crying, nna following tno wounacn ncroes
through tho streets.
Everywhere In Paris ono sees sights
llko these. Tho Boldlcrs aro terribly
disfigured, too, most of them having been
shot In tho face, as the faco is the part
exposed above tho trenchos. Mnny of
them have most of tho mouth blown off.
nnd In every street In Paris ono meets
men who nre Injured in this particular
wny.
Tho Oaro St. Lazalro was crowded with
soldiers in every posslblo shado and
shapo of uniform. And on my .way out
to St, Germain tho small suburban plat-
forma were crowded with them.
I wns particularly struck by the cheer
fulness of tho soldiers nnd their wives.
Ono never heard a grumblo nor n, mur
mur. Tho French trains are peculiarly
built, tho third-class carriages being over
head nnd reached by a small outside Iron
stairway. Up this little stairway the sol
diers swarmed, their packs or "sacs" on
their backs, all laughing and humming
snatches of popular songs. In tho little
open-air carriages there they sat. all aa
happy aa posslblo.
The train servico has been, of course,
much curtailed, and as the trains are
often commandeered altogether for mili
tary purposes, ono must just tako one's
chance. Tho mlltary authorities havo

the authorities want them for transport
purposes they Immediately get them.
