This is the way sho told her story to-day as the Antilla was coming up the bay from Quarantine: “On that Sunday morning I left my hotel on the Alameda to visit one of | the great cathedrals, I noticed the streets were filled with excited people, and some one told me at the hotel that Felix Diaz had been released from Prison and that trouble was brewing. But that meant nothing to me. I had no {dea of the horror that was to fol- low. - “It was about 10 o'clock that a vol- ley of rifle shots sounded from the | direction of the National Palace, fore | tunately some distance away from Ca cathedral I was visiting.

It i. wrong It Is wrong to obligations which organized humanity 'mposes upon the units which compose it. Anc among these obligations is the imperative one of respecting the rights of wives. But no other human being is so much bound to respect the rights and obligations of & wife as the husband whom she looks upon generally as a more o- less help- less victim of a vampire's wiles, FEW LADY VAMPIRES—ALL MEN NOT BAO.

Now there are a few vamptres, and there are here and there a fow—a very few—young women who work for wages that they do not need ex- cept to buy pretty clothes, I have never met any of the latter class. All the workingwomen I know any- thing about are engaged in making & living for no other reason than be- cause they have to live. Still, we hear about the other sort every lit- tle while, eo there must be come few women somewhere who work for the sheer joy of an extra feather or bet- ter furs or a greater diversity of neckwear. It is difficult to under- stand, however, in what way they could be prevented, even were prevention is supplied to us i# very dispiriting, cred one human being can assume. And thi of course, equally true of the obligations of a married woman. The vampire, femininefor mas- cullne, has no standing before the court.) She should not enter into the case at all, She does not count. Many women, however, will echo the sentiment of the deserted wife, who writes: Tf such women were to take a fow loaves of bread, o few dollars, ® fow diamonds, a great ory would be made an@ the penitentiary doors Weuld be opened wide for them. | But man is not inanimate.

HOW THE BISHOP VIEWED IT. What I regard as the deal point of View was expressed in @ novel or a play —I torget which—which I read some, time ago, wherein @ young woman of) the vampire type elopes with @ middie aged Bishop. Later the gentle elderly Wife of the prelate calls on the vampire, and tho latter, naturally assuming the wife has come to reproach her, launches into a justification of her action on the Bround that “love 19 @ juggernaut that overrides everything,” or some similarly | fervent sentiment. The Bishop's wife listens meekly through the long tirade and at the end, when the flow of oratory stops from eheer exhaustion, she suya: dear, yes, I grant everything you But that ten't what I came ¢o talk Would you mind very much ng a question that puzzles me very much?

However, I suppose it ts given to fow women in real life to at tain euch a #tate of good tempered dis- illusionment, The letters to which I have referred follow: WANTS HOME WRECKERS SENT TO PENITENTIARY.

MRS. R. 0.

And why do they do this? Generally, for no other reayon than vanity, to enable them to dress beyond the means of thelr natural supporters, No wonder that men complain that women are depriving them of the chance of making a ilwng. Let us take even the case of the women who are really compeliea to work and who compete with men, The contest ts never a fair one, as the men are usually hamlicapped by # family a the women, as a rule, have only them: selves to look out for, Kven if sing! ‘the man is handteapped because cus- tom expects him to expend a good portion of his salary on woman's amusement, Whereas no woman e pects to pay far her male escort, although she mey be earning twice his ealary, I think you will egree that et least only euch women whe are really obliged to work should be allowed to work.
