A Tory camp would be the last place
from which woman's rights ideas could
have been expected to start Yet in
the Observation-Disclosures pro-
gramme laid down by the Birmingham
Conservative conference even woman
suffrage received Endorsement. A noble
man, Viscount Fielding, Conservative
candidate for Rugby, introduced this
resolution, "Thel conference is of opinion
that when the question of representation
OF the people is reopened by parliament
serious consideration should be given to
the claims of women to be admitted to
the franchise when otherwise entitled
by ownership or occupation" In Great
Britain male householders and house
owners vote, and the same qualifications
will entitle women to exercise the fran
chise, if the recommendation Of the Con-
sentative conference is acted on. For
the strange part Of the thing is that the
viscount's resolution was adopted as the
sentiment of the conference. This GER
tainly marks step forward for women
suffragists in England, where women do
want to vote. Indications are that Brit
ish women will get suffrage before
American women do.

views on this subject, too, have long had

side shutters upon it. Next, have inside
blinds. After that put across the top
one Of those tight rolling. snipper-snap-

three, mind you-one for each side
and one for the middle. Lest any air get
in, festoon the lace curtains in double
and quadruple loops at the top. Then
shut all Of these envelopes, so to speak,
leaving only triangular space as large
as your hand open when company comes.
Never open the windows anywhere. 1t

with footstools and rugs and wall hang
ings and easels and diabolical contriv-

threshold. Tag scarf to the corner Of
every picture and rocking chair. The
more costly these air obstructing traps
are the better--they will show you have
90 much money that you cannot find
sensible ways enough to spend 1t. Then.
when your rooms are packed with nom

A Successful PLAY.


II you want receipt for that popular mystery,
Known to the world as Play to Succeed,
Take precepts at once from lessons of history
And throw in sensation in word and in deed.
Take wives who are scandalous, wild and un-
virtuous;
Sluggers, whose knowledge lies all in the
fists;
Tanks that are turbulent, boiling, impetuous:
Sweet looking children whom none can re-
sist;
The wailing from Wall street, heartfelt and
cumbersome;
Models half naked and posing for show;
Horses in running and cows that are trouble
some;
Engines and buzz saws that only half go;
The dancing Of Spaniards, wild eyed and SIMS
ter;
The sowing Of maxims; a large hearted minis
ter;
The Star Spangled Banner; society's chatter;
Dizziness dressed in garb that would fiatter
Whispers of mortgages; sectional fights;
Sensuous music and calcium lights
Take of these elements all that is fusible,
Melt em all down in pippin or crucible,
Set 'em to simmer and keep on the scum,
And Play to Succeed is the residuum.

She's neither rich nor pretty.
And in speech she isn't witty,
She isn't cultured in the things that beautify

But have learned to love her
Till there's nanght a prize above her,
And she has promised by and by to be my
charming wife
see her going gayly

And while know she's not SO fair as other

She doesn't climb OF backward.

II he hadn't been fond of good living, they say,
He might have in singleness tarried;
But he wanted well prepared dinner each

And cook he made love to and married.

She declares that she didn't get married to

But to have some one else do her cooking.

The nocline of Marriage.

A writer in the last number of the
Westminster RcpieT draws the conclri-
sion from the official statistics Of Eng
land, Germany, France and the United
States that marriage is decaying institu-
ton. General considerations also lead
him to the same end. The higher the
scale of civilization and refinement he
argues, the greater must be the discon-
tent with matrimony. He does not ex-
pect that the institution will die out rap
idly, but that slowly and very gradually
II will lose its hold on society, the most
cultivated and sensitive part of which
will be the first to make the break. The
chief influence leading to this conclusion
seems TO him to be the increase and ex-
tension of what he calls culture with its
consequent sensitiveness, representative
ness and self-sufliciency.
Harmony of temperaments and the
incest spiritual and intellectual adjust
mcnt in marriage become more requisite.
Character Is more fixed and Interchangeable.
Fiction. writers assume that matrimony
OF itself will bring opposing temperaments
into harmony and that this opposition is
contributory to n symmetrical union; but
experience shows that highly cultivated
natures will not stand such a conflict In
stead Of softcning and lessenipg their in
dividualiiy, culture tends to harden and
intensity it, 1t also makes them more
sufficient to themselves and renders them
more sensitive to discord of character,
seqncnily ii multiplics the chances OF
their suffering from matrimonial incom-
patibility, and ii reduces the number OF
those fitted to be their mates to a limit SO
narrow that happy marriages are well.

No Matter How Cold He May he He Is

The Indian in winter is in most in
stances a sorry. rueful bird There is this
remarkable trait IN his character how
ever: No matter how deep his physical
woe, let his blanket be ever so scant aud
thin and the blizzard ever so knife-lilSc
and piercing, he stands It like a stole. A
white man under similar conditions,

Indian undergoes. the pinch without a

They are prone to do the best they can
under the limitations of circumstances. /
remember winter in New Mexico the
nights whereof were cold enough even for
an iceman. The mornings Of each day
were by no means sultry, and until IL
o'clock the thermometer was generally
content to put in the time somewhere in
the vicinity OF the twenty-degree mark;
like a bulldog, l saw an old Navajo with
about enough on him, counting blanket
and all. to flag hand-car, very busy in the
collection of heap of splinters, twigs and
chips. Where he had put in the night
could not even be guessed at, but he was
getting ready for a fire now. Hecontinued
his efforts until he had amassed a collec
ton about the size and contouro a bushcl
basket.
Then some two feet away he started a
little fire that pint of water would have
extinguished This becoming cracking
success, he wrapped his threadbare
blanket about the upper part of his body
and over his head. and lay down on his
face. with leg on either side of his fire,
said legs being disposed in sort of paren-
thesis, so as to bring them fairly within
reach of the genial influence. The old
buck would ''snooze," laid out in this
fashion, for about twenty minutes, and
then, the fire dying low. would raise. him
self enough to reach his little store of COM
bustibles with one hand and transfer a
small supply to the blaze. Then his
slumbrous head would drop, the fire
would recover, and affairs go smoothly
for another twenty minutes, when the
play would be repeated. He got in some
SIX hours in this way very successfully.
