CONSIDER THE ALIMONY-TAKER
AND HER WAYS, SAYS M'LISS
She Labors Not, Neither Does She Spin, Yet
She Regards It Quite Within Her Rights
to Be Amply Provided For
AK anybody offhand which lio tlilnhn the more unmoral member of society,
A the parasite or the nllmony-taker, nnd nine tlmea out of ten the answer
0UU ije. -The parasite." A close analysis of the two, however. Induced by
the action of u member of one of Philadelphia's most prominent families In
brlnglns suit ngnliiHt her husband In London for back alimony, leads me to the
conclusion that the nllmony-takcr Is nn infinitely less worthy member than her
half sister, the parasite.
The latter, ns the modernists construe it In a special sense. Is the person
alio lives on the earnings of nnothor. When present-day authors spenk of tho
social parasite (and when do they not?) they mean usually the wife who takes
nnd Hi?" 'akes. Like the i-llnglng vine, she fastens her tendrils nround n man
and clings. Often the man doesn't In the least object to being clung to, but
like the sturdy oak. stands crcet nnd proud.
Hut even mmiKii sue is noi a neir-supporting member or society, tne para
site often pays In love and devotion for the sustenance she receives. This
.riuch cannot be said of the ullmony-tnker. She nsks for n stipulated sum for
(i lifetime if she can get It and ictuses to glvo even her companionship In pay
ment Just because she has bamboozled some man Into marrying her she
thinks she ought to be supported for the let of her existence. She takes and
rives nothing In return. And the law aids and abets her.
Of course the argument might be advanced that if a man mnrrlcs a woman
nnd then misbehaves In such n nay as to make life with him Impossible she
lias every right to expect to be looked after. I don't believe It, nnd I think
some day the time will arrive when women will scorn to take when they can
not give. Thus will the nllmony-tnkers pass from the face of the earth and u
bles.cd millennium obtain for tho divorcees, at nny rale.
The Purple Villain's Rival
BEWAIIK of the model young man!
A shining example of him has been arrested in New Jersey on the
charge of lilpnmy. 1 suppose If his matrimonial career hnd not been so sum
marily nipped In the bud women would have gono on "fnlllng for" him until
. the end of time.
He didn't smoke, chew, drink, play cards or stay out late at night. He
attended to his business with unfailing regularity; he went to church con
scientiously, and even became a. teacher In the Sunday school. Tt was through
his church work that he met the lady whom he decided to make No. 2.
He hnd no dllllculty, apparently, In convincing her of his utter perfection.
It was only when No. 1 appeared on the scene that the second lady felt she
had any rcaf-on to complain. Now the two women nre hushamllcss, nnd the
Model Young Man is meditating In Jail on the ways of the world.
Somehow or other tho Impression has tnken root that It Is only the dev
ilish members of the opposite sex who set the feminine henrt a-flutter. True,
every time a scoundrel comes to grief at least a dozen women write him con
doling letters or flock to his cell to comfort him, but, personally, I believe the
"'model young man" he who seems to be a combination of Sir Clalnhad. Par
sifal and Alfred the Good li tho Individual to keep your eye on.
Compared to the professional "model young man." His Satanic .Majesty Is
a pure young thing!
r The Value of "Sprucmp; Up"
T)ECAl'SI3 a phlegmatic husband suddenly began to spruce up anil take nn
fiJ Interest in his ties nnd socks his wife became suspicious that ho no longer
loved her She trailed him and discovered, she declares, tin alllnlty. Now she
.'Issuing "tho other woman" for alienation of Ills affections.
What kind of logic is this, nnywny? It seems to me sho ought to be suing
t. herself for her Innbility to keep him spruced up. Maybe sho failed In tho
1 "prinking" business herself and let her rival beat her at this Interesting game.
' "Tho other woman" has succeeded In what she herself failed. "Prinking," like
V-smallpox, 13 contagious.
Sleeping; Beauty Tames the Beasts
rpiIE power of beauty once moro has been demonstrated. An entire train,
(' 1 passengers, crew and bnggagc-sllngers, walked on tip-toe so that Lillian
Russell's benuty sleep might not be interrupted. Wake up, sisters, nnd sleep
like Lllllun does.
Attempting the Impossible
A DISPATCH from Lcndon says Hint women who work In tho ammuni
tion factories, after tlitec weeks' training, mnko 7 per cent, more bonuses
Vthan men who have been working for years at tho samo trade. I wonder If
?thls will carry nny weight with the Government after tho war? Anyhow, it is
, pretty good nrgument In favor of woman's rights, nut, of course, It might
not strike tho English.
"What's Sauce for tho Goose"
" A HINDUSTANI or a Hottentot comes over here nnd marries nn Americnn
ri girl. Up enjoys the full privileges of these United Stntcs, but sho is
" amenablo to the laws of his country. An American man, however, can marry
. whom ever ho pleases and retain the rights of American citizenship. Mrs.
Ethel C. Mackenzlo found this out to her sorrow when she had to relinquish
her vote In San Francisco because sho married an Englishman.
Why this Invidious distinction?

Dear M'LIss Can you please find out for me tho origin of placing mistletoo
around the house In conspicuously inconspicuous positions nt Christmas?
t QUERY.
In tho caily days of tho Druids mistletoe was regarded as a sacred plant,
to be revered and worshiped. Later It was thought to possess a protectlvo and
curative power, according to a Scandinavian legend, and to have it suspended
over one's threshold was to avert and divert danger from the household.
Tho world seems to havo grown moro sentimental from this time on, hovv
ver, for tho next mention to bo found of tho mistletoe Is In early English,
phen it was placed around tho house for the purpose of imbuing backward
mtaibers of tho sex not supposed to bo weak with tho courage to osculate.
The popularity of this uso is attested for by the length of time that It has
tndured. Unless I nm greatly mistaken, even twentieth century Philadelphia
eftht havo been known to hang tho mistletoe. It Is a nice decoration.
Dear M'LIss When that little Sunbury woman comes across with the in
formation as to how she tried to spank her 230.poun,d husband and got away
uh It, will you please let mo know? My husband only weighs 145 pounds,

WHAT BLOOD PRESSURE IS
AND HOW TO MEASURE IT
Hy WILLIAM
WHAT Is blood pressure nnd how
does the doctor measure It?
Illood pressure Is the force with which
tho column of blood In the blood icssel
presses against the vessel wall. It Is
just like water pressure In a lawn hose.
The higher the prcssuie the greater
strain on the hose, nnd the sooner the
hose will glvo out.
In health the degreo of blood pressure
vailes with age. Kor all ages It aver
ages 127 millimeters which means that
the pressure of the blood In the artery of
the arm Is enough to raise a column of
mercury 127 millimeters aboe the level.
from 13 years upward a blood pressure
under ICO degrees Is rather too low for
health: and from middle life onwaul life
Insurance companies look with disfavor
upon u pressure above 113 degrees. How
ever, we often tlnd tho blood pressure lGd
or more In pcrhuns past middle age, jet
they seem to be absolutely well.
There nro n dozen types of apparatus
for measuring tho blood pressure. The
thing Is done in this way: A cuff Is
wrapped lightly about tho upper arm,
this cuff consists of an intlatablo section
of rubber tube, llko the Inner tube of an
auto the, covered with a stout layer of
cloth, the whole plnn-d or tied nbout tho
arm. A length of rubber tubing leads
from this cuff to nn air-pump und also
to the standuid which holds tho mer
cury column In a glnss tube. Instead of
the meicury column a dl.il muuomcter
inay bo used.
The physician now pumps the cuff full
of air, thus gradually squeezing the nun.
while ho keeps his lingers or stethoscope
on the pulse nt tho wrist; nt the point
wnoro the pulse no longer reaches tho
wrist he reads what the manometer says
and that Is your blood pressure. As
