A WOMAN READER. A-—My. dear “Woman Reader,” a man has @ right to get married J wherever he wants—and ¢ Of course, 1 know you are referring to the. moral right, and as to a woman being justified in killing an- Other I am in the negative, just ss | am tn regard to capital punishment My readers bave asked me my opinion on capital punishment. Now, ft ‘Wilt give it. 1 do not believe any human has the right to take the life ‘ef another, and I think tt was a wise judge who sentenced a young man, a pot ons since, to support the widow and childrea of the man he killed. a fs one step in the right direction, and one from which I believe ® pian will eventually evolve which will take the place of the scaffold ‘and the @lectric chair. If you are versed tn the cases of the women who “ tred,” you would know that no human could stand the treat wnent did and not be desperate. That is why I am eternally trying to impress it upon women that they do not have to endure such treat pret at it is simply allowing a stronger mind to dominate theirs, is a tondition that each man and woman will have to work out from Under, and the sooner we recognize this fact, the sooner we will have happy homes. Dear Miss Grey: Tam only 24 years old, and have been married eight years and have three children. My husband ts good—that is, he Means to be, but he always has such big ideas about what he is going ‘0 do, instead of getting down to steady work. Lately I have had some Money left me, and he makes ft very unpleasant because I don't let him ‘have it to invest. Do you think I ought to? A WIFE. .—-No; I most positively don’t think you should give it to him. These “pipedream” men are all too numerous. One man tn many comes out_on top, and whoops and “bollers,” and the poor fools who . follow him never stop to see the bones strewing the “Get-Rich-Quick” Mfoad. Put a certain amount of that money into something safe for your children. Land is the safest investment, if you know how to buy. A ‘Woman with children has no moral right. to let an incapable man—in a business light—whether her husband or some other man, handle her money. You have started right on this question, and my advice is to fe “keep in de middle of de road” of common sense, and lyt “will-o'the- wisps,” whoever they are, Map their wings and bozz as much as they Itke; but keep your eyes on your beacon light—the future of yourself and your children. A man who will be disagreeable over a mattor of this kind will be disagreeable anyway.

I am another discontented mortal. I am clerking in one of the stores here in town. The girls call me an old maid, and 1 guess I deserve it. But it seems to me that they talk of nothing but shows, clothes and beayx. I have no clothes to brag of, don't care for shows, and don't believe in talking beaux. Before coming here I was a good deal in a hospital with some of my friends. Do you think with chat little experience I could get in a doctor's office’ I don't be- lieve I will ever be satisfied with any other work.

In &@ meanly furnished bome of three small rooms this baby was ushered into being. No doctor was there; the father couldn't pay for that. A kind neighbor woman as sisted the little one in crossing the threshold of life.

I love her erely, and she has often ex pressed a desire to marry me. I loves me dearly, hair, and hasn't any money. works in a laundry. My friends think I should marry the younger girl, but I think I ike the older lady most because she has settled }ideas. Do you think I could man age a ranch at my age? This mat ter is very serious to me. What do you think? UNDECIDED. A—TI think you are a mere tn- fant in arms when it comes to a question of Jove—even love spelt with a small letter. It is a com. mon failing for a young boy to think he is in love with an older woman, but you will get over it~ you certainly will if you marry her. From your letter I judge you are inexperienced in managing ranches —or women. A man who will put 4 red-haired, poor girl in one side of the scale, and a mature woman of means in the other will, if he is not careful, get poor weight whichever he takes—and he will deserve it. Wait until you know what love means, i but she has red less creatures, The precious gift that was ours for a day is gone. We let it go. We couldn't keep it all. NO, possibly not; It Is not In human nature to be each day as perfectly altruistic, kindly, and loving as we are at Christmas time, And yet, it is entirely within hu man possibilities to be kinder and more loving than we are, The Christmas spirit need not just touch us in passing, and then |depart. Much of it may remain with us, watering the desert of our soul—making to grow In it a beau tiful forest of love, and a sustain. ing pasture of goodness, When the wonderful gift of the Christmas spirit knocks, let it en. ter; and suffer it not to pass away again, but let it abide with us, you to be sure it ts with a first-| know another girl my own age who | She} THE STAR—MONDAY) DECEMBER in Dethlehem | very room, nor much | coal for the one stove they have in| and the bows for whom he! e his mon | Indeed, | to} | ot home today en making hard, tough, soulless steel day and night, Sunday, Christmas| Bethiehem in Pennsylvania and|} ing 200 tons of binders and frie-| of The Star precisely as they ia and every other aa If the | most of the ministers said John and|{ tion board per month, This | exist, The error in last Thurs baby's father would refuse to work | the rest were wrong—told the men | - ve 00 tor t ertisement was the re every day, why, they would got|to go back to work—"that the|} buowd have read 100 tons of | day's advertisement w ana boty dlda whe woud and t officials would right thelr wrongs.’ |} Vinders and friction board me sult of anige'9 ve oe in would be of this little , ‘ [2 month.” the preparation of the advertise- be of Bethleb Pat So the father of (gis babe toils, | we N | * a. and sweats, and wears his weary | The Occidental Board Com-| ment, is & young woman.
