In the United States. where the com
munal system never existed except in
some Of its remote, modified forms. mu-
nicipal suffrage for women has come
slowly In only two states, Wyoming
md Kansas, are women admitted to the
franchise and made eligible to municipal
offices generally although in fifteen
states they may vote in the school cleo
tions Several states have granted to
women simply the right Of being elected
to school offices. provided always that
they possess the qualifications prescribed
for men
The question is thus decided in Cali
fornia, Illinois. Indiana, Iowa. Louisiana.
Maine. Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
At the present time the system OF grant
ing to women both rights. eligibility and
suffrage in school matters has been
adopted in the following states besides
Massachusetts Colorado, North and
South Dakota, Idaho, Michigan. Mime
sofa. Montana. New Hampshire. New
Jersey. New York, Oregon Vermont,
Washington and Wisconsin. and the ter
ritory Of Arizona.
Of course to this list must be added
Wyoming, where women vote at all
elections, and Kansas. where they possess
complete local suffrage Finally. Ken
lucky and Nebraska admit women only
to the school franchise, and that under
special conditions, - Boston Common

Colonel John Hay happened TO be In
Chicago at the time of the great fire.
Shortly afterward, as the story goes, while
seated in the parlor Of hotel he noticed
two persons whispering and glancing at
him.
Presently one of them crossed the room
and said
Are you Mr. Hay"
Yes" replied the colonel
"You wrote Little Breeches' didn't
your" was the next inquiry,
"Yes," responded the poet.
Upon that the man returned to the place
where his friend stood. and bringing him
back presented him solemnly to Colonel
Hay as "Mr, McKaigins." Colonel Hay
received the newcomer politely, though he
had never seen or heard of him before.
After short pause the first man said in
an impressive manner:

Choose freshly cured hams. Formerly
the years supply was packed in the win
ter, and after smoking must needs be
eanvased to preserve it against the raw
ages of flies, and in this shape carried to
meet the demand through the summer
and fall, This necessarily resulted in a
considerable loss of the juices of the
meat by evaporation, while the surface
Of the flesh gradually became densely
covered with mildew, which often gave
a moldly flavor TO the entire ham. This
has now been entirely obviated by such
improvements in curing by ice that hams
Of the very finest quality are prepared
even in the hottest weather. New York

American Girl. and Their Voices.


Nine, Fursch- Madi, a woman of many
talents chief Of which is pure soprano
voice, has settled down in this city and
taken charge Of the vocal department Of
one Of the city colleges.
Voice culture" she said to me the
other day, ''is difficult work. There is
no reason why America should not pro-
duce some really great singers. There
are many grand voices in America, but
American girls do not seem to care to
become great singers. They do not like
to study.
"lf a girl is blessed by nature with a
voice, she must study hard to cultivate
it, not study spasmodically, but go at it
with determination and keep at it. OF
course she should begin right. There is
a right way and wrong way to begin,
and it does seem to me often that some
Of our girls have poor advisers and poorer
teachers A new method1 Oh, dear
me, no. There is only one method, and
that is first voice. and second, proper
cultivation and study, All the great
singers of the world know this to be
true It is the only way to succeed" =

Some pretty favors that may be made
at home for dinner, dance or luncheon
have rs their foundation the fiat circu-
lar boxes used by confectioners. The
boxes should not be more than an inch
or an inch and half high. Their cir
conference is matter of taste. though
a box Of about twelve inches is perhaps
the best. Make as many bags Of surah
or China silk, in bright colors, as you
have boxes. and leave the bags open
across the bottom Sew the bottom Of
the bag around the box on the outside,
and over the stitches put band of satin
ribbon the width of the rim Of the box.
Turn the top of the bag in hem sufi-
GENTLY wide to allow Of a shirring string.
Sometimes the band of ribbon around
the box is powdered with tiny painted
flowers II for color luncheon, these
bags should be of one color. II for
cotillon favors rainbow hues have the
best effect. One box can be used for
two bags. as both the bottom and the
cover are of the same size. New York
