One woman had worked fif teen yoars, ever since she was sixteen years old, had been with her present employer for two years, and yet as a saleswoman in a leading department store was getting only $8 a werk Another had done clerical work for fourteen years and was getting $10.50 a week. One had pasted labels on cigar boxes at the same factory for nine years and was getting $9 a week.

Hast thou not yet learned shah tade of a Wite f ‘ and the subtile ways of a Married Woman? For lo, there be Seven Ways to extract money from ap husband. And the first of these fs the way of the Tyro, who ariseth while it ts yet dark and goeth through his POCKETS, like a thiet in tho night. And the second is the way of the highwaywoman, who “holdeth up her Spouse upon Saturday night and taketh his pay envelope AWAY from him, and there- after doleth it out, Yea, as tho weekly instalment collector, she pounceth upon him and maketh him stand and deliver! And the third is the way of the “Confidence Wom- an,” who lureth her Boloved to “go shopping” with her and selecteth the PRETTIEST shopgirl to wait upon her. And behold, when those two have finished with |him he hath not a shekel left wherewith to pay his carfare home! And the fourth is the way of the Siren, who enticeth his shekels from him with smiles and flattery, to him in pennies Ww \ meen Row any saying: “Beloved, as THY wife I must ha that I may do thee credit before other men's wives. For the spouse of a man of IMPOR- TANCE hath his reputation to consider. And I am SO proud of thee!” And the fifth is the way of the Artful Dodger, who deceiveth him with padded accounts and false bills and secret treaties with the grocer and the butcher and the dairyman. And the sixth is the way of the Clinging Vine, who coaxeth his moneys from him with cooings and kisses and baby-talk, saying: “Oh, how noble and generous art thou to me, a help! how biessed I am among women that I have n aS ad, but one who granteth my ¢ y WISH!” And the seventh is way of the gentle Blackmailer, who capitalizeth her Husband's little failings and tradeth upon bis foibles and weaknesses: Lo, when he stoppeth at the corner cafe for “another,” when he gazeth too long upon the blonde at the next table, when he droppeth his cigar upon the r . When he is half an hour late for dinner, TH doth her opportunity and grasp it- Yea, then doth she raise up her voice in bitter complaining and cover him with weeping and wailing and suashing of teeth, And until he “cometh across” with a BRIBE she can- jot be comforted, neither silenced And all her jewels are the wages ve thus and so, 88 little thing! hINGY husband, Yea, of his “sins” and the fee of his teth to pay “hush money” ace at ANY price no man he. to his own WIPE, and @ and’s motto Is *
