John J. Mo- Cune responded with them, and James J. Garrity, Democratic leader of the istrict, moved that the Captain be made master of ceremonies. The mo- tion was carried with a great shout, and again ConKlin’s Band began play- tng. This time it was ‘The Sidewalks of New York.” Mr. and Mrs. Philip Redmond were the first couple to begin dancing. “This is the Willis Avenue glide,” whouted Redmond, who weighs 300 pounds, and, incidentally, le a good Gancer. Soon dozen of couples were gilding about in East One Hundred and Forty-sixth Street and the “Neighborhood dance,” was on. It lasted until 1 o'clock this morning, when Prof, Conklin announced he wouldn't let bis musicians disturb on the darkness any longer, and so every one went home tired but happy. “It was a great dance,” said Ferry to-day, “The thing that helped it particularly fine was the neighborly spirit that prevailed, Why, I know of fitty couples living in this district whose homes are only a few steps apart, yet who never had met one another until last night, That's what these dances do for us. They help us to know each other, and after we get to know each other, why, very women would be interested in Mr. Kenyon’s plea of extenuating circun stances, and I asked him to explain his theory of the husband's respons bility for the wife's failure, AMERICAN HUSBAND DOESN’ MAKE WIFE FULL PARTNER. “The American husband doesn't make a partner of his wife,” the dr: matist insisted, “I'm not saying this is the case with every American hus- band; of course it isn't, But I be- lieve the criticism holds true of a vory large number of our marriages. It is especially true as applied to the younger generation, the men and women between thirty and forty, who belong to that largest group which is neither very rich nor very poor.” We were dining in a downtown chop house, and men of the group and age Mr, Kenyon had in mind sat all about us; lean, keen, unrestful Amer- leans who sometimes “get there,” and other times get into sanitariums, They were dining with each other, in twos and fours. To see their wives we should have visited the uptown dance cafes two hours earlier, as Mr, Kenyon’a next sentences reminded me “A woman cannot keep on lov- ing a man simply because he pays her bills, There is the American husband who spends a long day downtown; who dines away from home and passes the evening at the club because he feels he must keep in touch with his busine: friends; who, if by any chance he does go out with his wif only half with her, the other half of him being still occupied with office affairs, What does he think his wife is going to do? Stay at home and knit? Not to-day. If naturally, we sympathize with, and help, each other and that's the one| big idea of life?

He is a slender young man, with something of bitter- ness in his thin face and a smile more easily sarcastic than not. Like every third clever person I meet, he comes from California, “Wouldn't it be a good idea jf more wives were encouraged to take up some business or profession of their own?" I suggested, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WIFE AND “OTHER WOMAN.” But to Mr, Kenypn that is not the solution, “The business in which a wife logt- cally and naturally is most tnter- ested f# her husband's business,” he sald, “She ought to know about that, She ought to understand his affairs as well as he understands them him- self. She ought to be allowed to share in his discouragements and aid in his dilemmas, “The difference between a man's | wife and any other woman he may support should be this: yan the wife shares his worry, ork, his ponsibility, as 8 his success, while the other wii sharing his mone: “And do you think that the average wife is willing to be a bartner Instead of @ plaything?” I asked, "Yes, if the husband di gituation in the right way,” said Mr, Kenyon. “Of course, after years of indulging her and keeping her | norant, he cannot expect to receive | Valuable coun*el from her in a buel- | ness crisis, 1 think he should not even wait until he is married to show her the sort of partnership he wants. “Many an engaged girl does not know the annual income of her future husband, Let him tell her, Let them talk over the situation in perfect frankne’s, 60 (hat she may know be- forehand how much money there will be to spend and what their scale of living must be, After marriage the husband should keep on making his wife feel that she is his business and financial partner as well as the womau he loves, Too often he leaves her ut- terly in the dark, and expects her to amuse herself by olan clubs or be- ls with the Then she nage in nine cases he gets her way and —of course—is confirmed in her Utter yonerense a Haire ie ible for much feminine exvrave- SRD ‘play was taken trom ite” Mr, full duty, e sat re to show that she is harmed by too much ease and that may profit by her help.

PARIS, Sept. 23 (United Press).— That the Anglo-French loan in Amer- tea will materially shorten the war is the opinion of the highest govern- |mental and banking authorities here, | according to Frederick H. Allen, New York financial 4xpert. Furthermore, Prance is confident of her ability to pay when the war ts ended. Her people will make the same sacrifice to preserve their financial honor that they have made on the battlefield to preserve their national honor. “But {f we cannot buy from you," Mr, Allen was told, “it will take us longer to get what we want, and therefore prolong the war, Our people would go without meat and cotton and eat black bread if necessary. In time we would provide ourselves with the neor . ries,” Mr. Allon is a member of the American Pormanent Commission on Rural Credits. He has had « series of important conferences with oM- clals here, tnoluding Minister of Fin- ance Ribot, He has furnished a re- sume of the French viewpoint that carries with it the approval of com- petent authorities. “American exports to Hngland, France and Russia for the year end- ing June dv showed an excess, roughly, of tive billion francs," Mr, Allen was told, "The major part of this must be paid in gold or by ostablishing a eredit of gold, which is the founda. Yon of our banking credits, We do not want to part with gold in great amounts, Besides, you have all the gold you want. It is better for you and better for us to establish credit in your country in order to continue carrying on business there. Otherwise how are we to continue buying from you? “The ability of France to meet her obligations is undoubted. The wealth of the nation Is estimated at 900,000,- 000,000 francs, The state will have spent from the beginning of the war to Dec, 31, roughly, only 24,000,000,000 francs, Who can doubt our ability to pay, even If the war lasts another seventeen months, or twice that time? “America has a great opportunity not only to maintain the trade she in now doing with us, but to make in- vestments at prices not likely to recur for another hundred years, and at high rates of interest.
