Men In Tho woman's Building.

Somebody had been calling the atten-
ton of the wife Of the Maharajah of Ku-
purthala to objects Of special interest at
jackson park. $50 that is the Woman's
building" she said as the great white
structure was pointed out to her. do
they allow men inside its wallsg"
The question is amusing in itself, and
yet great big interrogation mark of
the same kind has appeared before the
blurred visions of a thousand men who
have paused at its threshold.
1t cannot fail of notice that the man
who wanders through the Woman's
building seems invariably embarrassed
and i'll at ease. If he goes alone, he looks
conscience stricken, glancing furtively
about as if expecting to be elected. He
doesn't allow himself to become deeply
interested in anything, and when he
finally reaches the bronze statue of Leii
Ericsson at the west portal he feels re
lieved.
Naturally enough the married man ac
companied by his wife shrivels into in
significance in this atmosphere. He be
comes merely the husband of the woman
and looks on meekly as she makes th'
rounds. He feels about IL years old anC
feet inches in height. He may hav'
been always the self assertive, domineer
ing lord and master of his household, bu
10 minutes of the Woman's building re
duces him to minus quantity. He feel
submissive to a painful degree.
Yes, the women allow men inside tn
Womans building But in the natur
of things they can't encourage such in
vasions.-Chicago Record.
