Household Suffrage I'm England.
The Woman Suffragists of Great Britain,
always alert, ever watchful and active, send
out in their Suffrage Journal the following
hint to their coadjutors to claim passage at
every door that opens for any other class
at is not probable that meetings will be
held during the winter in support of the
proposal to assimilate the County and Dor
ough franchise; in other words, to make
household suffrage the universal basis of
franchise. We suggest to our friends that,
in all such cases where the resolution pro-
posed to the meeting does not expressly in
clude women householders, an amendment
or rider should be proposed making the reso-
luton applicable TO all househOlders in
boroughs and Counties, whether they are
men or women. We believe that no public
meeting convened to obtain an extension of
the franchise to any householders now ex-
cluded would be able to resist the claim of
women householders TO be considered along
with the others, or would refuse to adopt "A
resolution to include them if the case were
fairly and temperately laid before them"
Just Like Men.
Fashionable clothes occupy the minds,
often to the exclusion of everything else
of those New FORK women who are fnan-
cially able to crafty their longings. Shop
ping, says a correspondent, is their diversion
and delight. They spend the live-long day
going from store to store, whether they
intend to buy anything or not. They do
not stop to 90 home for a midday meal,
but buy lunch wherever they chance to be
when eating time comes. In one of the
largest fancy goods establishments in the
city a restaurant fifty feet square does
rushing business, and a saltwater fountain
fixes continuously. But the latest project
for the refreshment of fashionable women
is bar. Now, bar-rooms in which disre
putable women drink are no novelty, but
this is no such concern. 1t is as respectable
as it is unique. 1t is in Broadway, close to
Stewards great mart and Wsllsck's Theater,
in the midst Of handsome retail establish
ments. The front is resplendent with
plate-glass, and the store itself is wide,
deep, and elegantly fitted up. The
walls and ceiling are trescoed,
and the floor is marble. One side is devoted
to the sale of confectionery. That shows
the proprietors shrewdness, for women pro-
badly would not go in if there was nothing
but bar in the place. The bar runs along
the opposite size, and is about the same in
style as those of the best cafes, though the
marble counter is little lower. An i'm
mense mirror faces the drinkers, and the
back bar isadornedwith a cutglass anddecan-
tiers. Instead Of beer-punp, however, there
is 8 soda-fountain. Piles of lemons, an or
namental lemon-soueezer, groups of ginger
ale bottles, and pyramids of silver Tom and
Jerry cups, make q display rs gorgeous as
bar-tenders, Of the regulation pattern, with
