CHOOSING HUSBANDS.
A New York woman, living in I
fashionable Brooklyn district, is be.
ing subjected to good-natured rllicule
because she advertised for a husband.
She is a widow, good-looking, culturv
ed. living in a pleasant home, with
enough money in the bank to sup-
port her in modest. comfort. ‘But she
is lonely. She has few acquaintances
She wants the love and companion-
j‘ship of a husband, and takes what
:seems to be the shortest and most
:rpructical way to lind him—4i liner ad,
with such supplementary advertising
as the papers have given gratis. /
' ‘
She has been embarrassed by her:
unexpected publicity. and yet, having
a sense of humor and an abundance
of good nature, she gers'amusoment

After the noon 'luncheou hour the
hundreds that had decided not to re
turn to work until their demands had
been granted congregated in the streets
and alongside the factories and called
upon those who had returned to work
to come out. The windows were tilled
with women and girls to such a num-
ber that work within was practically
suspended. Women on strike mounted
boxes rustled from nearby stores and
exhorted those out to stand than and

suited, are 'all out and settled machine
operators in most or the departments
also joined in the walkout.
Considerable excitement. but little
disorder, occurred when the women
strikers delivered addresses to those
out, the cheering mingled with the
calls to those yet at work, making a
terrific racket. A number oi children,
who ran by the windows calling “scab"
