An Important Decision Affecting mat,

An important ease recently decided 14

}Lela that en abandoned wife who has
expended her own money for neceasarim
for herself and the elaldren of the
marriage may recover the amount so ex-
pended in an action directly agaiust
the husband,
It is, however, only the logical ex-
tension of doctrines long recognized by
the law, namely, that the wife has the
irrevocable right to pledge her hus-
band's credit for necessaries in ease he
fails to supply her therewith; and
further, that she may in sucli ease even
borrow money on his credit and expend
It for necessaries, and that the lender
may receiver the amount so leut and
expended from the husband.
These rules were, however, inade-
quate to eneet the needs of the wife in
many cases, bemuse oftentimes the
delinquent buiband he4 no credit which
she amid pledge; and even it he bad
credit, or he could procure assistenee
from friends, she was plaeed in the
position of it simpliant for favor.
The De Brauwere ease, by eytending
the doctrine of subrogation to the wife
heaself, has placed her in a position of
independence, where she can drew upon
her own resourcee, if she has such, for
necemaries, or purchase them with her
own earnings owl compel the husband
to reimburse her.

MAYOR GAYNOR ON Talt
CHURCH -GOING HABIT.
(Buffalo Times.)
A widespread Influence for good Is
sure to emanate from the statement of
Mayor Gaynor reseeding belief in God,
Bible -reading and the church -going habit,
Both in tone and substance, the Mayor's
utterance is admirable throughout, and
it Is especially significant as coming
from one of our leading public men, the
chief magistrate of the greatest city on
this continent, and the second city in the
v:orld. What Mayor Gaynor eaye, is so
brief, that the whole of it can be quoted:
" 'Why do I believe in the Father,
God ?' Because I cannot help it. I
simply know there Is it God and that set-
tles it -with me. I have absolute Conti -
in Him, and am willing to submit
to whatever Be wills in respect of me.
You ask 'What good comes from reading
the Bible ?' An immense deal of good.
et soothes you and makes you cement
that it educates you and
g
ort 11t8rary 'Style, and that
a it cthilgaolfuti t aaabdgl deo.

Is another matter. Going to church
gives people steady habits, and makes
them prudent and careful, and makee
them vote carefully. Church members'
make tt stable nucleus for society."

Notwithstanding her eatneat dis-

suffrage enthusiasts continue to boom
Miss ..lecaltuns aa the only one to
represents them. - They think that she
will revolutionize the Municipal gov-
ernment verapletely, that she will `go
in and fix the old thing right."
But Mies Addams does not share
their enthueiastie itt this regard. he
has had too much practioal experi-
ence. She looks at the 'whims end
wiles of men and governmenta with
much understanding but little omen-
naent.
"What eould a women in office do"
"What could a woman clot" she
said, 'reiterating the question put to
her, "I don't know that she would
be so mach different or possess any
greater pottier or inolinotion to do
good than a good men in office, It
whield all denenel upon , the evontan,
as it depends upon the man whether
the laws were needy and honeetly
made lind fairly enforced."
Like the enan in the same office,
Mies A.ddaans ovens the woman would
have to be equipped with desire,
fearlessness anti independence to
carry out the ideas of eeform and pro-
gress and work for the people at
large,
"For which office are women heat
suited?"
"In the majority of oases of of-
ficeholding, such as mayor, for in-
stance," replied Miaa Addams, "wo-
man, as man, would have but little
power or influence to work teemen-
doue. reforms which she might insti-
gate in other positions, as Mager
Inspector, for example. Placed in
sueh offices and coming closely in
contact with conditions, women would
do a gteat deal more than men olong
certain lin,es of reform, beca.uee they
would see things that men overlook.
Child labor and woman labor would
probably appeal to them more keen-
ly than to the majority of men."
Miss Addams has been working
energetically with a oonunittee of
Chicago women for the extension et
the 10 -hour labor law for women
which has just nassed the 'Illinois
legislature,
"Woraen have been instrumental
in starting all of the labor reforms,
have they note" Miss Addama was
asked.
"Yes, I think we may sofely say
they have," the replied. "With the
power to vote and the right to hold
office, she could do directly and with
more dispatch what she is doing now
indirectly, and undoubtedly a great
deal more. Woman's power in civic
affairs is felt now, but all of her
energy le expended indirectly. That
is the disadvantag•e of it."

NO SOLEMN FACE&
The Rev. Dr. Cortland Myers scored
ministera with long solemn facea and
said they were hindering the speed of
Christianity at Tremont Temple, New
York. "They make religion seem repue
sive," be said, "and drive our young peo.
pie with merry heart a away from it,"
I•ie charged that people who were
ebronically morose and sorrowful were
not good Christians. "Christ did not go
about tbe world living the life of a
tombstone and looking like one, the way
many of our so-called pioua ministers
do," exclaimed Dr. Myers.
"To spurn the good, thine of life," he
continued, "is offensive to God, because
he put things on this world. to be en-
joyed. A !nen who is aorrowful is uso-
ally ainful. A true Christian has a smile
to meet any mishap.
"Laughter is the best cure I know for
many ills. The rest euro and mind cure
have nothing on the laughter cure. The
latter brings one back into sympathy
with the world.
"If you: would become a good. Christ-
ian, tell two fuony stories before lunch,
one before breakfast and one befora din-
ner. Your digestion will be improved.
So will your mind. Your mind WIl Ithen

"A smile is the secret of business sue -
Cess. If I buy anything from a person
I want him to look pleasent about it.
If I go into a drug store for a milk
shake and the clerk looks as cast down
as if he had not seen a pay envelope
for two moriths, I take care never to go
near that place again.
"I have never known an instance
where a Obristian lost anything by in-
dulgieg in legitimate pleasure. ,1 have
seen much lost where melt get the notion
that to be pione they must make life ar-
tificially painful."
Broker Robert E. Davie, of the Charles
street jail, and Betty Green were select-
ed by Dr. Myers as examples of unhap-
piness. Regarding Davie, he said: "In
hie life of sin and robbery he couldn't
get it moment's happiness. He got a wife,
but she wouldn't live with him; got a
fine house, but never could live be it;
got plenty of money, but never could
keep it, He was reduced to the stage of
the lowliest of trampa. He knew he
never Pseapp, and now when he is in jail
he can't find a friend to bail him out.
"Whenever you think of doing wrong,
think of Davie' and I'll guarantee the
temptation willleave you.'
