though that man be her husband. AS
things are now, woman is ashamed to
have her brother support her, She thinks
it all right for her husband to do so.
"When a man asks a woman to be his
wife, he does not mean that he wants her
for a companion. He means that he wants
her to keep house for him, be petted by
him, and do as he tells her. In return he
will pay for her board and clothes, and
when he dies, she shall have one-third of
anything he may leave.
MISS ANTHONY IDEA OF MATRIMoNY.
''My idea of matrimony," continued
Miss Anthony with enthusiasm, lis that
a married woman shall be companion
for her husband in all things. If she has
a family, it is a duty she owes her hus-
band to bring up her children, until they
reach the age when they do not need
every minute of her time
"She should then be so capable and so
trained to support herself, that she can
either assist her husband in his business
or conduct a business of her own.
Whatever men may have to say about
this idea, as an idea, there are very few
men who would not be glad to have $50 or
$40 a week added to their incomes, if by
so doing the wife did not tire herself any
more than she now does running a sewing
machine all day and sweeping carpets,
besides backing stoves and working over
wash tubs as most wives have to do.
stubborn statistics show that only
one family in five keeps hired help. Do
you suppose that woman would work
any harder getting up law brief than
she would polishing her husbands shirt
frontl And don't you suppose her hus-
band would love her just as well for so
doing!
"She could pay a Chinaman for a
month out of one days work, and could
wear nice dresses, tool"
WHAT THE BALLOT WILL DO FOR GIRLS.
when women can vote" said Miss
Anthony looking through her spectacles
in dreamy way as though she could see
line of women walking to the polls with
ballot in hand, working women will
have much easier time of it.
''Women will then be independent, and
working girls will be treated with re-
spect, When girl goes into an Office TO
work she can be very tart to the man
who is too familiar. He will not dare to
discharge her. Why! Because she has
a ballot. And it is ballots that count.
ITO speak plainly I mean that when an
employer says nice things to n girl-things
that she knows it is a shame for lnar-
ried man to say to her, she can slap his
face, or can turn upon him and say boldly:
Il am here to sell you the work of my
hands. My personality is nothing to you
If am not worth the money | am paid
you can discharge me. But my woman
congressman will know all the circum-
stances and when you try to get the street
commissiOnership this affair will initiate
against you
when girl is as independent as that,
by right of law, the courts will have
fewer heart-rending cases to settle"
MONEY MAKES WOMEN GOOD.
81 repeat that the possession of money
solves many perpleXing social questions"
said Miss Anthony, bringing down her
hand upon q woman's suffrage tract which
she was holding
The lack of money has been the cause
of more sorrow TO woman's heart and
disgrace to a woman's life than ever any
personal weakness has been. Long ago
l made up my mind to two things, that
should never marry until ! found a man
who wanted me for companion, and not
a slave, and who proved it by Offering me
half his income; and, secondly, that. in
stead OF holding prayer meetings to re-
form unfortunate women, | would labor
10 give them a chance to be independent
which is all they need to make them
model citizens
With these parting words, dearold Miss
Anthony, taking of her gold trimmed
spectacles and folding them in the tract
she had been fondling, laid them away in
