The Talkative Woman
Why Slio Chatters ami What Her
Chatter Is Worth
By Ida M. Tarbell in the Women's
Home Companion.
Talkativeness is a hallmark of feni
inimity. A silent woman may be ad
mirable, but she stirs uneasiness. She
is like a moon in eclipse, mysterious
•and fascinating, but not for daily life.
The new woman bent on making over
the sex is contemptuous of talkative
ness. To allow the simple interests of
daily life to run unconsciously and
merrily off the tongue does not har
monize with the strenuous career she
has planned for womankind. Not that
she would shut her mouth. Far from
it. She would make her a conversa
tionalist, not a talker. There is the
same distinction between the two that
there Is between the agriculturist and
the farmer. There is the same term
of life, for while the argriculturlst is
an experimenter for a day, the farmer
goes on forever.
Por a habit which persists through
the ages, in the face of censure and
ridicule, as woman's talkativeness has,
there is a reason. Generally it lies in
the depths of life, where critics do not
always explore. May it not be that
woman's persisting habit of chatter
ing has Its reason?
Why Women Chatter
One of their chief obligations has
always been teaching the child to
talk. It could only be done by In
cessant repetition, going over and
over the names of things until his car
caught the sound, his tongue framed
It. It is not difficult to sustain the
thesis that if it were not for the chat
tering of women, the child would
never learn to talk. It has been done
with French contemporary writers.
Ttemy de Gourniont. He even goes
so far as to declare that this chatter
ing of women is a more important
literary service than the writing of
poems or philosophies.
But feminine talkativeness plays

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
another role almost as Important as
this of teacher and preserver of hu
man speech. It is that of entertainer
and consoler. There is none other so
universal, and on the whole so sure of
its mark —story-tellins, song-singing,
sports and dancing combined have
not done more in the world to break
the dismal strain of fatigue, of pain,
of discouragement than the say talk
of women.
Hut it is so idle, so silly, this chat-
Iter! Nothing is idle or silly which Is
born of an unseltish impulse to amuse,
to arouse, or console another. Talk
becomes silly only when it is selfish,
vain, pretentious. No matter what
the subject, it is tedious and uninter
esting when it springs from one of
these roots. There never yet was a
satirist so cruel that he found mate
rial in the talk of a woman directed
to teaching her child to speak, to the
amusing of a worn-out husband, the
consoling of a sufferinß friend. Their
efforts become beautiful and sacred
because of their intent. One sees only
that, and thinks not at all of the
things said.
The Woman's Gift
It is as natural for the normal wo
man to talk as for the bird to sing.
It is the spontaneous expression and
giving of herself. It is this natural
ness which gives to her talkativeness
its perennial charm as well as its in
calculable value in the scheme of
things. The woman in the human
group is much like the Monarch in
x'ierre Mille's delightful tale, of that
name. "Why do people call me the
Monarch? Why ain I loved? Why
always happy? Because." he ex
plains, "1 always have time to talk.
Without me the people around here
would be bored to death. I go and
come, laugh and sing, I cost nothing
but a glass of wine, and a bit of sup
per. What do I give? I give myself."
The woman gives herself.

Something In her expression told him
he had said enough. With a cheerful
word be went away.
But the next day Sir Donald renew
ed his wooing In such a fashion that
Ruth was sorely put to it to keep him
from demanding such caresses as her
engagement made him rightfully ask
for.
The hardest part was that she per
ceived that John Dorr now knew that
she was to marry Sir Donald.
He did not know, nor ever would,
what that marriage was the price of.
Everett, of course, had quietly Intro
duced Sir Donald's assertion of his
new relation to Ruth Into his narrative
of what had occurred In the office.
John bad taken tbe blow steadily,
but be was not one to walk in the
dark. He sought out Ruth and In a
few words drew from her the truth.
"Now we ail know where we stand,"
John said bravely, smiling at her.
"But I—l thought you loved rae too,"
she murmured.
"That doesn't alter the matter," he
said comfortingly. "Now I must get
to work. I've lots to do. Wilkerson
has already started work around the
spur, and I must begin driving into
the place where your father found
that rich vein. We may drift Into It
any day."
Naturally enough the two camps kept
pretty much to themselves, but Tom
Kane carried the gossip to John Dorr,
evidently in an effort to distract his
mind.
The old cook knew that John's heart
tras breaking, and between his love
for each of them he was himself bard
pressed to maintain a cheerful counte
nance.
"Wilkerson'g impatient as ever," he
told John one afternoon. "He can't
wait on tunneling and sued, but he's
I going to blow the whole face of his
hill right off. Told his inen that dyna
mite was better than pick and shovel."
"Well," said John, "that may prove
all right At least he'll get a notion of

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat also take glass of
Salts before eating
breakfast
Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys. they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is Irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid
neys clog you must help them flush off
the body's urinous waste or you'll be
a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending blad
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and acti\-e. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
npy trouble while it is only trouble.

utu'i tuat same day Kane announced
that Wllkerson was going to set off
the biggest battery of shots ever tried
tn the valley.
As a consequence Faversham. Ruth,
John, Everett and many others went
across the gulch toward evening to
watch the show.
Old Tom Kane waggled his gray
bead doubtfully as be related how

much dynamite had been planted and
how Wllkerson's men were actually
too nervous to work any louger.
"He has to tlx the fuses and tire the
shots himself," he said.
True enough, they saw man ; ?ter
man come down the hill till only Wll
kerson was left.
Ruth noticed that he worked rapidly
and with au occasional glance down
toward Mrs. Darnell, who stood nenr
a big rock shading her eyes against
the evening sun.
At last the work was apparently
done, and Wllkerson waved bis arms.
At that signal there was a general
rush for cover.
Then the man straightened himself
up as if master of the demons hidden
ac his feet, and waved his hand to the
woman watching him from below;
then he stooped.
An instant later there was a terrific
explosion, and a smoky gap appeared
halfway up the hillside.
At the foot of the slope lay the body
of Wilkerson, tossed there as one
might toss an old bat. The smoke on
the hill eddied and swirled.
No one stirred. There were a dozen
other unexploded shots In that hill
side. any one of wbicb would likely
bring the toppling crest downward.
With white faces they held their
breath. Wilkerson's body twitched
slightly, the only moving thing tn that
amphitheater.
Then there was a wild scream, filled
with terror, with passion, with flaming
and awful desire, and Jean Darnell
ran over the rubble toward the smok
ing hill, crying:
"Harryl Harry!"
A dozen men started to run to drag
her back, and a hundred voices mut
tered warnings that held them in their
tracks.
Jean reached the body and flung her
self on it: then she rose and stared up
at the •great rocky crest
Did she hear the roar ef voices call
ing to her to flee while there was time?
Did she see the death that hung
above her. If she did she despised
it
In this final catacljsm her wild heart
broke through the bonds of this seltish
existence and fiung ber a full passion
ed sacrifice on the body of the man
who bad loved her and given her his
all—houor and life!
In the quick silence they who watch
ed heard a single, full throated cry:
•'Harry'. Harry!"
Then the mountain roared Into the
air, and the avalanche of rock poured
over the two lovers lu wave after wave
till It had buried them forever.
And as explosion after explosion
rocked the earth and filled the evening
sky with lurid debris Ruth struggled
from Sir Donald's detaining grasp and
fled into the arms of John Dorr, where
she clung, sobbing:
"John! John!"
Sir Donald looked at John Dorr's
transfigured face and heard that cry,
meant for lover's ears alone.
Very steadily he turned away and
stared up at the terrific cataclysm
which had united both the darkling
hearted and golden youth.
He found the cook beside him. his
gray locks streaming in the gusts of
wind from the blasts. He pointed with
his stick to a piece of rock that rolled
to their feet, and in the dull stlllntes
that followed the terrific uproar he
said:
"I really believe, Mr. Kane, that we
have uncovered the gold we have look
ed for so long."
And Tom Kane reached down and
picked up the nugget and stared at It.
Then be turned to the white faced gen
tleman beside blm.
" 'The Master KeyP" the old man
muttered.
"Yes." returned 81r Douald quietly,
it unlocks strange doors."

of Great Value to Merchant
C. 1.,. Sawtelle, district representative
for the McKaskey Account System, an
nounces a new safe register that pro
tects the merchant's acounts from lire.
This cabinet has taken four years to
perfect In order to give it the thorough
tests necessary to comply with the
McKaskey standard of perfection be
fore putting on the market. The walls
are one inch thick, filled with a secret
composition of insulating material. Tlio
cabinet is jointless, being pressed from
special cold drawn steel, and there is
absolutely no metal conduction to carry
the heat of a fire outside through into
the Inside. One inch of this wall is
said to equal ten inches of lire brick.
If held over a gas llame one hour the
hands may be placed on the opposite
side. It is hermetically sculed when
closed, preventing ingress of oxygen,
without which there, can be no fire.
Mr. Sawtelle predicts a great success
for this new addition to the McKaskey

evidenced by the large number of ac
