should a Woman hold the
purse strings? asks m'liss
tThe Fact That Lord Aberdeen, Lost From His
, Wife, Had No Loose Change, Does Not
Indicate Man's Complete Subjection
MANY men, doubtless, smiled Btnlles of derision at the predicament In which
Lord Aberdeen found himself en route from Jacksonville to Philadelphia,
whGn, aftor being separated from his Lady wlfo, ho discovered himself to bo
without sumclent funds to pay for his meals.
"Ho must bo a milksop, indeed; and sho a holy tartarl"'was ono man's un
feeling comment on the incident. "Imagine a man allowing: such a condition to
exist that ho could bo thrown Into so embarrassing a position. After a whlla
we'll bo clamoring for men's rights, so as to bo ablo to have pocket money
and tho p'rlco of a lunch."
Perhaps it Isn't as bad as ho pictured; perhaps Lady Aberdeen has a
financial talent suporlor to his, which tho English pee'r has perspicuity enough
to recognize At any rate, in a day when tho question of woman's cxtravaganco
nnd hor inability to handlo funds lcvel-hcadcdly is over beforo us, it is com
forting to know that there exists at least ono man who Is not too proud to havo
It known that ho has sumclent regard for his wife's mentality and Judgment to
intrust her with tho family pocketbook.
Indeed, apropos this Incldont, I am not at all so suro that men aro better
economists than women. Certainly they are not tho adepts In that mo3t dim
cult process "making ends moot" that women aro.
I know of soveral households whoro It is necessary to count tho pennies;
and tho men, recognizing tho suporlor "cannlness" that women havo for getting
tho most for tho least expenditure, content themselves with n -weekly nllowanco
for carfare, lunch and tobacco, nnd turn tho bulk of their earnings over to
tho wives of their heart. And It's a safe wager that tho wives do not havo
as much to spend for candy and sweetmeats as their lords do for cigarettes)
and 'baccy.
Sartorinlly Speaking
Have you a Httlo seasldo cushion with your new summer outflt7
This is fashion's latest kink. You must havo a cushion, nnd It must match
your new straw bonnet. Born as tho result of tho popularity of the muff,
tho seaside cushion ndds a gay noto to tho beach costume. Somo aro flat nnd
some aro round, even ns the muff Is round or flat, nnd mostly thoy aro decorated
with a cord and tassel, so that tho carrier can swing them dcbonnlrly when
not in use.
Gay cretonnes nnd rich satins furnish tho materials for this whim, and a
monogram In tho corner of one's own particular cushion can bo embroidered
to glvo distinction.

Letters to the Eililor of the Woman's Page
AildrcM all communlcntlon tn M'l.lw, rare of tlin Kitnln? I-nlccr. Write on one
!de of the pnper only.
Dear M'LIss Wo havo a wlro-hnlr fox terrier dog and it has been losing
its hair almost all winter. It comes out dreadfully. Would you kindly let mo
know through your column what Is tho causo of It, and what will stop It from
foiling out. E. c. P.
A veterinarian tells mo that it Is difficult to dlagnoso your dog's troublo
without seeing tho animal. Falling hair may be duo to overfeeding, particularly
of meat. It' may be, ho says, that you batho tho dog too often or too In
frequently. Dandruff, eczema and lack of excrclso could also bo responsible.
External applications, this authority declares further, are not to be
recommended, except on tho advice of a veterinarian after examination. Threo
grains of Glauber salts, however, given to the dog threo times daily, ho says,
cannot hurt and might prove of grcnt benefit.
Why not take tho terrier to a veterinarian? Perhaps a single visit would
suffice to euro him.
Dear M'LIss You havo recalled tho ancient quarrel between beauty and
brains as tho dcslrablo clement in women. May I suggest that tho matter was
settled somo tlmo ago by W. S. Gilbert, whoso luckless peers sang out
"Hor origin's lowly, 'tis true
But of birth and behaviour I'vo plenty
I'vo blood and position for two,
And grammar and spoiling for twenty!"
Somo of us feel that we havo quite brains enough for twenty, which, I nd-
" mlt, is an intolerably snobbish position. When wo are told that beauty fadeth as
tho rose, wo reply that that's better than never having It bloom nt all, eh?
And .not all of you, beautiful or bralnful, can reply as Phyllis replied to tho
lines I havo Just quoted. SULLIVAN.
I agrco with you that Phyllis' retort was very neat. For tho benefit of
those of my readers who don't know it, hero goes:
I'm very much palnod to refuso
But I'll stick to my pipes and my tabors,
I can spell all tho words that I use,
And my grammar's as good as my neighbor's.
As for birth, I was born llko the rest.
My behaviour is rustic but hearty.
And I know whero to turn for tho best.
When I want a particular party.
Dear M'LIbs Will you kindly tell mo tho meaning of tho namo "Nellie."
KEADErt.
"Nellie" Is a nlcknamo for "Helen," derived from a Greek word meaning
"light." Women with this namo aro supposed to bo blessed with more than an
ordinary amount of Intelligence.
Dear M'LIss Can you glvo mo tho recipe for tartar saucq and namo the
various dishes with which this can be used. A. KITCHNER.
Chop fine a half dozen shallots, greens and all, put in a bowl and add a
handful of parsley, a half of clovo and a plcklo, all minced fine. Mix together
well, and strain through a whlto cloth. Add an ounce or two of mayonnaise, de-
' pending on tho quantity you desire, a teaspoonful of mustard and salt, and
cayenne to taste.
Sauco a la Tartar Is served with soft crabs, trout, filet of sole, In fact,
with sea-food of most every kind.
Dear M'LIss That many women workers prefer a man to a woman ns
boss Is not surprising after all. Thoy prefer a man because, as a rule, he Is
not so strict. But what does strictness mean? It means that those who en
force it have tho Interests of their employers at heart and bellevo that an
honest day's work bo given for a fair day's pay.
This Is tho view tho woman boss almost invariably takes. Sho cannot
tolerate loafing, and as loafing enters very largely Into somo girls' conception
of "a Job," she Is consequently disliked and written down a tyrant. The man
boas may, and often does, overlook a Uttlo carolessness now and thon In a
glrl worker, but a woman boss never does, simply because sho cannot under
stand why Buch carelessness should exist.
For good, honest work and strlot fair play to employer and employes alike,
give mo tho much maligned woman boss. ONE WHO KNOWS.

HINTS ON SIMPLE METHODS
FOR RELIEF OF VARIOUS PAINS
THtJ other day we observed that tho
skin of tho thorax nnd abdomen Is
supplied with sensory branches from the
Intercostal (between tho ribs) nerves, 12
pairs of which nro given off from the
spinal cord. Wo mentioned how pain In
tho appendix region (the lower right
comer of the abdomen) sometimes means,
not nppendlcltls or surgery, but plourlsy
or pneumonia the Intercostal nerves cvl
dently trying to play a Joko on tho doctor
or tho patient.
Tnko tho sixth and seventh pairs, which
supply sensation to tho sltlh over tho pit
of tho stomach. They leavo tho spine
way up between tho shoulder-blades, nnd
there Is tho spot to apply your countcr
Irrltatlon for pain In tho stomach. Thcro
Is tho placo for tho mustard.
If counter-Irritation Is of any value In
tho relief of Inflammation, It must aot
through tho nervous system, certainly not
through tho circulation. The proper placo
to npply tho hot stuff Is thcrcforo not
nccossarlly directly ovor tho situation of
tho plan.
