Married Women and Positions
To the Editor ot the Evening Pubir Ledger
Sir Seme time Hgo I read In nur rolumn
an article speaking cbout married women i
working and sajlng that they work to heii
meet expenses In ilew of a home of their
own, and so on.
Now, I can cite several Instances In our
small suburb where oung gins who are
good workers, not the kind who spend one
half or one hour putting paint and powder
on their fates during working hours whose
ages, I should say, average from twenty to
twenty-five years, who have ben promised
positions, but married women cone In and
get them every time.
When a woman marries 1 alwa though'
that she marries for better or for worse
and If the man she marrlea does not hold n
position ihat Is paving a lartte wag I
think It would be better Judgment to either
wait until he Is In that position or else
chew what she bit off It must be very
pleasing to a man after working all da to I
come home to n mjpptr of canrcd goods, i
baker's cake and so on because h's wife has
been to work all day Don t think that I am
an old maid or bachelor or a grouch, for i
uu not any or tne tnree but a young
girl who is waiting for a position

Dreams ore largely due to plnslcal con-

Perhaps the pies shortened Fisher s
mortal coll. At nnj rule. Susan wns
soon ready for o third nttemjit nt mnt
rimonv. She did not even feign love to
Mr. Trent. He needed n housekeeper
nnd sjie needed u home. Thus the two
were mnrried.
Siins Trent wns :ibout sitj ears
old. slim like Susnn. and somevvlint brut
from long hours of hoeing nnd weed
ing. He chewed tobacco nnd smoked.
After about six months of married
life Mr. Tvent decided thnt he was
due for r. holiday, nnd. ns the circus
was to visit the adjoining town, l'C
hnrues.wl up the colt and went to the
"show." Susnn disapproved of cir
cuses, but she thought thnt Silnn wus
going to see a prospective customer for
the wood lot. so he went in pence.
At the circus Silas enjo.ved his free
dom to his henrt's coutent He saw
all th- shows, the main one, the side
ones mid the animals, nnd wns about
to feed the colt and start for home
when h' decided tint be wns both
hutirrv nnd thirsty
' There was a "refreshment booth" at
the circus, so he betook himself inside
, nnd ordered a supper consisting of three
i "hot dogs" nnd a glass of pink lemon
ade. When the frankfurters nntl lemon-
nde had disappeared Silas wns still
hungr nnd thirsty, so a second order
of three "hot tlog.s" nntl a pink lemon
ade followed the first and finally a third
took the Fame trial Silas was at last
"refreshed" and he started home to
Susnn.
On the way lie felt rather sick. When
. , . , ; , ,., !, j
no arrived Home ne ten. Hiuaur uuu
Kf)0n sllwin j terror called the doctor,
fm Silas wns writliinc nnd groaning
; with ngonv I'nlns seemed to ne in
, every part of his poor thin body nt the
, snme instant
! The doctor arrived, but Silas died.

(JF WANING SEASON
Kvcn a doctor could not overcome nine
hot dogs attacking nt once.
Susan was. to nil appearances,
stunned by grief. How she mourned'.
Hlnck crepe was not enough. Tenrs
continually drowned her ejes till after
Silas wns Mined. She talked ot wnal
n great love hntl been taken from her.
nnd as proof of her loyalty to his ment
or j she showed her friends a smnll box
in-which she explained she had placed
n "memorial" of her poor dear husband.
This box she wore suspended from n
coYd around her scrawny neck, nnd
tucked cnrcfully under her black alpncn
wnist.
All the countryside wns interested In
thnt "memorial." Kverr one was curl
ous. wiint could old Airs. Trent he
wearing in that box as n remembrance
of her ilepnrtcd third? Could it be a
lock of his scant, rusty hair? No, the
box woh too large for that. Tt would
easily have held three times the little
fringe thnt encircled Silas' bnld dome.
No one wns able to satisfy his ever
increasing curiosity, and so the box
with its "memorial" wns the wonder
nnd mystery of the village until the day
on which Susnn Deborah Mills-Fisher-Trent
re.enlcd its secret.
It was not mnn. moons nftcr Silas
Trent's denth that Susan was sorely
stricken with n toothache. She hastened
to a dentist. She had only seven of her
own teeth in her mouth, nnd he nd-
i vised their extraction. Susnn at first
the box in which was known to be the
"meniorinl" of Silas Trent. Turning
to the dentist she handed him the box
which she hnd loosened from the cord,
nnd in a matter-of-fact tone said:
"Lund snkes. 1 clean foreot thnt
'meniorinl. ' I saved them old teeth of
Silas' a purpose to have 'em made over
some day if I ever hnd need of 'em."
Thus was (lie "memorial" mystery
solved.
