PERE HYACTNTHE'S WIFE.-LeOnard

potent in overcoming the prejudice
among the Geneva Catholics against the
marriage of priests has been the excel
lent wOmanly dignity and devotion Of
Nine. LOysOn. | have hesitated to
speak Of her personally in a public let
ter, but, after the incredible insult and
abuse that have been bestowed on her
by the UltramOntane newspapers here,
one kindly mention can hardly be ac-
counted an annoyance. | do not mean
to speak of the cheerfulness and charm
of the little cottage home, about one
mile from the city on the lake shore,
nor of the hOnOred position in the
highly cultured society of Geneva that
is awarded her; but | have had some op-
pOrtunity Of observing the zeal and
wisdom with which she has improved
those peculiar opportunities of counsel
ing and helping and comforting which
always open themselves to the wife of 2
Christian pastor, and which are specially
numerous in the case of a parish like
this, every woman of which has been
religiously trained from infancy not to
rely on her own moral judgment in any
case whatever. 1t is really touching to
see the eager satisfaction with which
the unheard-Of comfort of having q
minister's wife to talk and counsel with,
and minister's home to help provide

socks and blankets for, is appreciated by
/ these poor people. Was ever a minis

YOURS TRULY" ON THE "VEXBD
QUESTION.

Yours Truly is sorry she's engaged!
She hasn't done the matter up in first
class style at all, at all. When Tom
found her at the railroad station on that
never-to-be-forgotten day when she was
wet, hungry and out of funds, and when
he generously offered to be her knight
Grant through the days of courtship and
her cavalier through marriage, she
hadn't read Ryan on the 'vexed ques-
tion," or she would have looked upon
her welcome suitor as an ignorant Arab.
True, he couldn't very we'll "encircle
her delicate waist" in that State Fair
crowd OF mud-be-splattered pleasure
seekers, and if he had, Yours Truly, in
her Ignorance of courting etiquette,
would have slapped him in the face.
Then there was no place for her to ''fall
in timber swoon," either, and as to her
saying task ma, and pa, u she never
thought of such thing.
Is Mr.. Ryan engaged ? And if he
isn't, will he help Yours Truly out Of
her present ENHANCEMENT so she may
stand a chance to become initiated into
the mysteries of his delightful mode Of
love-making so that she may commit no
more blunders?
Then that Language of flowers! :"
Isn't it gushing? Yours Truly's afraid
she hasn't been "well bred" for she has
never before been versed in these things.
But, alas, she fears that some woman
has "thawed that mans heart out Of the
dead of winter and opened the flood
gates of his affections" too wide for her
to ever assuage them. Besides, Tom
mightn't like it, you know, and he's
not only a good catch in the matrimo-
NAL market, but the dear fellow is
splendid, with all his awkwardness, to
pay the bills of his impecunious affi-
aneed, and you know that woman
must have man to protect her from that
beast Of prey, society" That is, impe-
cunious women must; but if the gov
ernor would only give Yours Truly rs
handsome an allowance as he ungrudg-
ingly bestows on Dick and Phil, she
could protect herself from "beasts OF
prey" as easily as they do.
Oh, Mr.. Ryan! Mr.. Ryan why did
you watch that delicate young lady
who cut pea in twon at the table, but
"crammed whole pie down her throat'i
in the pantry? What huge throat
she must have, to be sure, and how very
ungaIlant it was in you to "pCach" OIL
her.
But Yours Truly has INDUCED enough
in nonsense, and now she wants to give
little serious talk: You, Mrs. D., take
great pleasure, so it seems, in portraying
the constitutional dullness OF man upor
the woman question. Come TO think,
Yours Truly is guilty of the same Of
fense, too, when she wants to make {
point 10y it, But let any silly woman
who simperingly declares that she ha,
all the rights she wants, read Mr.. Ryan
sensible conclusions upon her legal, so
cial and political status, and then b'
ashamed OF herself Much as Your;
Truly has enjoyed burlesqueing some o
the vulnerable parts of his essay, its gen
eral tone is unanswerably excellent
Now, let us see il he will rule tn
Woman Suffrage delegation out OF tn
next Temperance Alliance. If he stand
by us there he may settle the vexe'
question aud henceforth become the de
clared ally of Yours Truly.

BOSTON, Dec. Z5y 1915. J
Dear Mdddm:-The infamous "Utah
Bill" of Senator Frelinghuysen which
proposes to disfranchise the women OF
Utah and forbid them TO serve on juries,
also extends over the women Of all the
Territories the provisions OF the "Eng-
llsh Common Law as 1t existed at the
time of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence." 1t has again been introduced
into the Senate with an urgent appeal
for its speedy passage. Last year il
passed the House of Representatives, but
was defeated by our friends in the Senate
Ii your paper will come out strongly in
opposition, or IL your State Society will
at once write to each OF your Senators
and Representatives from Oregon, call
ing ther attention TO this Bill, and urg-
ing them TO have it delayed or defeated,
you will thereby do a great service TO
the woman's cause.
Very respectfully yours,

The English common law" which
Mr.. Frelinghuysen wants enforced upon
the women of the Territories, will re
duce them to a legal and political bond

westbrook School District.

MR.. EDITOR Perhaps some OF your read
crs are aware that the old town of " estbrook
was divided by the legislature III, one part
other assuming the name Of Deering. By
this division several school districts were in
tersected, leaving some OF the scholars in
Westbrook, others in Deering. In these dis
tricts the school houses were situated in West
brook, and the Deering scholars of said dis
trict were permitted to attend school there I'M
til recently when they were excluded.
The legislature Of last winter authorized
the two towns to appoint joint committee to
appraise the school property Of divided dis
trcts and to apportion it to the two towns
which have not yet acted upon it.
The town of Westbrook has already abol-
shed school districts, and at the last annual
meeting of Deering it was also voted to abo-
ish the district system, but some of the citi-
zens thought the proceedings were illegal and
had another meeting called at which the vote
was passed again. Still some of the citizens
were dissatisfied, and on the 14th inst. another
meeting was called to see if they would re-
consider the vote. AT this third and last
meeting it was agreed to reconsider the vote
and upon voting again it was decided not to
abolish school districts.
There has been considerable excitement
concerning this question and some will say
that it was not legally decided now. As it
now stands there are several parts of districts,
each containing not enough scholars to have
a profitable school, situated remote from each
house. VALE.
