Chicago, June 23.?Entrance into business by large, numbers of wo men who are hot obliged to support themselves but merely, desire more* spending money is disapproved by Mrs. Edith Jarvis Alden, the re cently appointed.. assistant secre tary, of the Chicago, Burlington. & Quincy railroad. After only four years of experience Mrs. Alden was given whafis said to be the high est railroad office held by a.wo man. On the . other hand, Mrs. Alden believes some . business experience would profit almost , any woman, if only to make her more apprecia j rive of her husband's v problems.

ME HOPE 50 \cm urn //*/ OH DORI 5T?NNIM LOOK rc AWTHtM 7 SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD ?ND HANDSOME Marquis ?f Huntley to Take Unto Himself American Widow London, June 7.?The announce ment that the Marquis of Huntly was going to marry an. American widow has caused the limelight of publicity to shine far more bright ly upon him than if his castle has been burned down by Sinn*Feiners. Several Irish peers have had that distinction thrust upon them of late but they have not, in conse quence, been written up anything like as extensively as has the sep tugenarian Marquis. .He. is 75 years old. He is ,de scribed a$ the handsomest member of the. peerage and the most court ly mannered. He^ celebrated his goIden.*wedding in 1919. His first wife died a few months later. There were no children by that marriage. He is the Premier Marquis of Scotland. He has . 11 other titles; besides that of Marquis. He has been a L?rd-in-Waiting in his time and has captained the Gentleman at-Arms. Both are purely orna mental posts. The . former pays: something, like ?700 a year and the latter a round thousand. He has never had to . do any real hard work, but . despite . the popular American notion that hard work, and plenty of it, is essential to health and longevityy he kis . re markably robust and, according to one chronicler who claims to ? know him personally "thinks .nothing' of walking -15 miles a day." There] are. not many.hard-working Amer ican millionaires who could do that at 75. He comes of. ancient and first-rate fighting stock and has> all ] sorts of blue blood in his ;veins. His ancestor, Sir Adam Gordon, of Hantley, was killed at the battle of Homidon in .1402. The third; Earl commanded with Lord Horns the. left wing of the .Scot's army atj Flodden. Field. ., ? The fourth Earl was killed, in action, while the, next Huntly knew what it was to be sentenced | to the?block and to find: himself j Chancellor of Scotland on his re-' preive. __ Irish Question t In Parliament London, June .26.-?OEn a . promis ed statement, on Irish affairs in the house of commons this after noon, Secretary of Colonies ChurchV ill, said he didn't hesitate by all the horrors that have occurred in Belfast due to organization in the northern territory of two divisions of the Irish republican army, in continuous efforts to break down the Ulster governments .
