The Wife and the Pay Envelope Of course there has never been a statu te of the subject, nevertheless, and not w ithstanding, the opinion no doubt prevails in m a n y households that a man should deliver his pay en velope to his wife w ith the seal un broken. It has rem a ined for Judge liriffin to give a judicial decision on th subject. In a case before him, in which a husband and wife had sought the court over a m a tter of money, the judge held th a t the m a n who earned the m oney which periodically came to him in the pay envelope, had e.\- ilusive rights as to breaking the seal thereof. Once the seal was broken it becam e his duty as provider of the family to give his w ife as much of his earnings as he could or as much site requires within reason, con- idering the needs of the household anti^ the am o u n t at his disposal to sup ply those needs. Until such tim e as som e wife car- r e s the subject m a tter to the higher court this fair and equitable arrange ment will have to stand— u n less—and there is alw ays an unless— the wife hold the decision to be unconsjilu- tional.

CARMAN’S SERVANT Rhode Island Maid Sympathizes With Celia Coleman I have been reading the cross-ex am ination of Mrs. C a rm a n ’s m a id and the com m ent thereon, it s stated that \she proved a very unsatsfactory wit ness from the standpoint of the S tate, for on every occasion th a t the in ter rogative of the D istrict A ttorney seem ed bound to develop an im p o rtant an swer, she sought refuge in an “ I do not rem e m b e r.” W hy is it thus assum e d that she really did rem e m b e r? W h a t was I do ing yesterday—say at half past two? I do not rem e m b e r. W ho passed through the room at th a t hour? May daughter, Grace— p o ssibly M a rgaret— m a y h a p my husband—I do not rem e m ber. W h a t was 1 d o ing? Well, 1 hake my bread in the afternoon it is often done a t half past two. A t any rate 1 turned out the gas when it was done and took the loaves from the oven T h e n , perhaps, 1 m ended stockings Anyway, 1 rem e m b e r th a t I w n t up stairs to change m y dress, taking w ith m e a pile of m e n d e d stockings, but perhaps they were all finished while 1 w a ited for the bread to bake— I do not rem e m b e r. W h ere are we ourselves while ouv hands are busy? W h ere was 1 yes terday afternoon?

T h e sound of the door bell or telephone would have caled me back a t any time-—or the odor of scorching bread. All the hose w e re carefully m ended. But thus do the thoughts ot the innocent w a n d er far from cr’me. “W ere you ever in trobule yourself ’’ asks the D istrict A ttorney. \Yes sir—there was a death in tho fam ily,” answ e rs poor Celia. \Did G eorge Toom er call at the C a r m an house, and w h en did lie cull ?” She looked blank. If 1 am ever haled to the w itness stand 1 am convinced th a t I s h a ll look veuy blank, indeed. I shall reiterate that I do not rem e m b e r, i s h a ll blush and stam m e r and contradict myself. I shall look horribly guilty, and then break down and cry. ! And nil th e while f m a y not even have heard the shot they all are talk ing about. I never Are shots and am unconcerned when 1 liar them . Yet I am 57 years old, and surely as in telligent, as well-poised, and have in ready a com m and of language as the' average serving maid.
