THINGS THAT ARE SURE TO INTEREST ALL
fHR LADIES'
Women Talk Politics.


ing opinions, the brunette was agreeing
with her, and the woman who was
! neither blonde or brunette, and who
| delighted in being called Spanish
| blonde because her eyes were brown
and her hair golden, did the contra
dieting. The blonde said:
"Well, for my part don't care much
who is elected, for think it will be q
respectable affair and the family ele-
ment will come into il"
1.-THE brunette looked up to heaven
and said: "Those dear babies!"
And the Spanish blonde, with her
eyes flashing and her hair becoming dis
ordered as II from an electric shock,
said: 81 am sick Of bottle polite. Now
don't misunderstood me. don't mean
that | object to anybody ire ating any
body else, but do object to the bring
ing In OF babies and the Haunting OF
them as If the fate Of the nation depen-
ded on this sort Of molly-coddle argu-
ment. Politics are dirty enough, good :
ness knows; and babies ought TO he kept
clean"
Yes" responded the blonde, "but /
think it is rather sweet to hear about
their cunning little ways and to know
what kind of frocks they are wearing
and all the funny things they do"
whats IT," added the brunette.
"It's too cunning for anything to think
OF the dear little baby playing gee-gee
with the President OF the United
States"
The Spanish blonde glared. Then
she looked at the brunette and then at
the blonde and then speaking very
rapidly announced. sob, say, it is
perfectly lovely! suppose you would
like to see the President gee-gee the
Force Bill through! l suppose you
would like too see the President gee
geed into not considering the rights OF
the laboring man, not considering the
value of home industries and not con-
sidering anything that is going to make
the country better. It's bad enough in
England, where Stanley and two or
three other men running for Parlia-
ment take refuge behind their wives;
but what can you expect from
man like Stanley? AS for his wife, she
is the woman who came here, took ev-
erything in the way OF hospitality that
she could get, and then criticised the
people who were good to her. l tell
you, Stanley don't begin to have the po-,
sition that he used TO. That Rear Guard
business is remembered, and he takes
refuge behind the petticoats OF his wife,
who makes a speech before the electors.
Are there any men nowadays? | saw
some donkey out in Chicago put
safety pin in his buttonhole as badge;
it's pity be didn't fasten his mouth
with it,"
After she had said this and clicked
her teeth together as II to emphasize it,
she of the golden lock and the velvety
brown eyes walked Indignantly away,
and the blonde and the brunette looked
after her. The blonde said, in an odd
sort Of tone:
katharine knows such a lot about
things, it quite wearies one
And the brunette slowly answered:
"She is so positive. For my own part,
think more than just about babies. i
think the President ought to be
young man and good-looking man and
a rich man. He ought to have mother
who would receive him, and he ought
to be q ba chelor."
"But," objected the blonde. "then
there wouldn't be any babies"
The br unette looked thoughtful, then
smiled and said "Oh, OF course not,
but it would be great fun to go down to
Washington and flirt with the Presi-
dent, and he could flirt all through one
term, and when he was pnt up for the
Sc cond one the fathers and brothers OF
all the girls would vote for him because
they would hope he would marry into
their family"
Then the blonde looked at the brun-
cite and briefly announced. "Why,
you are diplomat"
The modest brunette said: "Yes,
think | am" And then they went to
lunch off of chicken, ice cream, and
iced tea.
An the man who had listened to it all
dropped his newspaper, and, thinking
out loud, muttered. There's ques-
ton for the doctors: Is there any gray
matter in the brain Of woman"
