I was utterly ignorant and in capable of fulfilling my j part, pf the partnership, and so, I bankrupted the firm." , ,"My mother was one of those fool ish, fond women who think that they are doing their daughters i, Jdndness b spoiling them, and, protecting them from everything hari and prao tioal in life."V'I have heard my mother say a thousand times.;''I want , my girls to have a perfectly happy girl hood and they shan't, spoil their hands cooking and sweeping as long as I can save them from it. ; It will be time enough for them to learn how to cook, and sew after they are married. Heaven . knows, the bur dens of life come soon enough, to a woman, anyway, without their being laid on her in her youth. "That was my mothef's" philosophy of life, as it is that of thousands of other women, and because of it dl an thousands like me. are ground to powder in the divorce mill.' - . "I married a fine, energetic, ambi tious young fellow, who alone and unaided had already climbed ' a good way up the larader of success, and was sure of reaching the top. He knew his business . down to the ground. He was efficiency personi fled. .In the whole business that he ha4 created and run so ably there was not a lost motion, the waste of a postage stamp, the delay of a min ute. Everything was done with the precision of a piece of perfect ma chinery. And for the dawler, the loafer, the incompetent, my husband had the withering and blighting con tempt of the successful for the fail- As to Matches Made Above. "And being this kind of a man, my husband married me a girl who had never done a lick of work in her life, and woo did not know any more about running a house than she did about running a submarine; a girl. who had never handled a dollar in her life, and had no idea of the value of money, or how. to get its worth; girl whose time had been of no value, and who had frittered and idled it away without even suspecting that it made any difference whether you are an hour late for an appointment or not, or whether you eat breakfast at eight o'clock or eleven. . "Certainly if matches are made in Heaven, the matchmaking angel who brings two such different human be ings as my husband and myself to. gether must have a sardonic "sense of humor. "Well, we were married, and we went to keeping house in a charming apartment that my hisband had rent ed and furnished. . I was as pleased with it as a child with a new toy, and I regarded it just as I did the little blue tea set I had played with as a child.. It never occured to me that being married was a serious matter and that, my part, in. the . domestic partnership was to make a comfort able home for my husband. Least of all did it occur to me, that if I failed in the duty of making my husband comfortable at home I was defaulting on my contract just as much as he would have defaulted on his if her had failed to provide me with food and clothes , and shelter. - "I think there never could liave been anywhere else as much mean her own affairs, or do anything bu weep. " . At last my competent, order-loving husband could: stand it no longer and in words that seared into my very soul he told me that I was V. failure and that I had blasted bis dreams of 4 lifetime. .' He had always longed for a home, and I had shown that I could not make one. He had looked for; ward to having a wife who would "be a helpmate to him.. I had proved that I ' could be nothing but a-mUlstone about his .neck, " put one thing was left him, that was his ambition, and he would , not let me Jblight that by my wastefulness.;' Therefore we would go to a hotel to live where he .could, at least, keep some check on' bus ek penses, and have decent meals served at the right time, i '-.v. "So we gave up the little home of hie , dreams and went v to live the nomd lifej of married .'couples' -who camp about in publio hosieries. Somewhere in that unnatural country husbands and -wives lose eaoh, other, and we were no exception to the gen eral rule. After a while we came, to the parting ofthe ways, and I went West and gpt a divorce so 'Jhat he might be free to marry another wo man. It was all I could do in com mon decency because I knew that the fault of our wrecked happiness was mine. It - would never have "' hap pened if I had known my business and how to make a home and keep my husband safe in the shelter of it." . , . - ' FIND TREASURE TROVE IN LOS ANGELES HARBDR HALF BARREL OF NICKELS AND SMALL SILVER COINS RE. COVERED FROM WATER food' as was served on our table in our first two years of marriage. ; The meat was invariably tough and stringy no matter what variety it was. 4v.lt was sure to be burnt or raw. The coffee was worse than dishwater to drink, the vegetables pulpy, unsea soned messes. 1 : 5: 1 "Day after day I would see my hus band push away, his plate after the first mouthful, and at his look of dis gust I Would burst into tears, and be gin y whimpering : r out rcomplaints against the cook.1 -..For the Lord's sake, why don't you fire her and get somebody who oai cook? he would exclaim impatiently: "Don't you know how to cook yourself? Why don't you teach her?" ' , ; "But I didn't know how myself, and all I Could do' was to 'haunt the 'in telligence offices and drag In another girl, even more incompetent than the first.'' ' ' v . - :r,iAnd the bills.; Stupendous', stag gering, f or let tradesmen cheat me, and servants waste,' : As I think of it now,' our home was like a nightmare a place that was always upset and untidy," where nothing was ever done on,. time; where rthere; was ' never, a meal' that was fit to eat, and where incompetent servants "came . and went in endless procession,' and where ' the Los Angeles,.JNov. 20.- Wild excite men't prevailed in the harb6r district when runiors that a treasure trove had been discovered at the bottom oi the channel in front of the. scene of the recent fire in East San Pedro and Several hundred men engaged in searching for coin, which was brought up,by the steam dredger. ' Within a few minutes after the first collection of coins were sent out through the dredger tube, everybody who was not actually at work went to1 East . San Pedro in hopes of ob taining a, fortune. . Altpgetfier nearly a half barrel of nickles and small sil ver pieces-were brought up from the depths and for the rest "of the .day business along East street was booming. Among the . coins recovered were several Spanish silver pieces of the year 1808' and a Nioaraguan gold piece valued at about $2.50. Where the coins came from could not be ascertained, but legends of the older harbor men intimate that' a1 smug gling vessel was"? sunk at this' point while attempting to eyade the revenue cutters employed bythe old Spanish Governors to enforce the collection of 'Jderechoes." i V 1 " T- All of the -"money brotight ' to. the surface bore A the marks ;of laving been in the water tor many years and the coins were, all badly corroded.;- i X In addition to the coins brought out, of the water,' the dredger dislodged a number of iron crosses supposedly used for burial purposes. ; The crosses were almost' ' falling- to pieces from rust, and it is thought that they -were brought to- this . harbor many- years ago to supply the mission stations. , v -While nd one believes that .Ter minal : Island will prove1 another Treasurer Island, 'much interest has been aroused by the money suckled out-of the muddy depths and oplans gro being made to make a systematic search in case gold or other valuables may be reposing on the bottom of the harbor. , " -.
