woMAN's WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.
WLiod Would You Blame, the Husband
or Wife, I'm This Case?

reveals to me funny state of affairs.
Men come to her dining room and feed
as only men can. They feel good ma
tured with all the world as they pass
outward again and are apt to stop and
have bit of friendly chaff with the neat
little cashier. She does not mind; her
employer does not mind; nobody minds,
for she is discretion itself. Neverthe-
less when these same gentlemen come
in with their wives they mostly march
with their noses straight before them,
afraid to even nod at the little cashier.
Not long since a man came in who
usually showed much pleasure in chat
ting with her. But this time he
passed by with the most freezing
nod-a bare recognition. A lady
was with him. They ate their lunch
con in solemn, stupid silence and de-
parted. A few days later the man came
in alone and sidled sheepishly up to the
little cashier. "You observed, perhaps"
said he, "that did not bow to you in
my usual friendly way last time was
here. Well, that was my wife who was
with me, and did not dare speak to you.
She gave me a severe going over as it
was, merely for bowling to you" Now
all husbands will bear watching, wives
think, but really isn't it carrying things
"a little too far to draw the line on hus-
band thus? Because he will break out
when he is away if you tie him up so
close that he dares not speak to anybody
but yourself. How mortally tired of his
wife husband must get who is kept
under like that! Did you ever think of
this?
BY decision of the last election in Kan
sas women now have municipal and
county suffrage in that state. They can
vote for any officer in a town, from
mayor to marshal, and put themselves
upon the school board or anywhere else.
What is worse and more of it, they say,

One of the most successful and ener-
getic women farmers in this country
lives at Turk Hill, in northern New
York, near Rochester. She is Miss Mary
Conaut. She has made her farm pay
ever since her fathers death, many years
ago. Besides taking charge of the farm
she also teaches school in the neighbor-
hood mile and half away. 1t rather
makes lazy city person shiver to think
of the hour at which Miss Conaut must
hustle out in the cold every morning,
but a woman who can do so many things
would not mind little matter like that.
She has received as high as $400 in
season from a two acre aspara-
gus bed. She has made speciality
of asparagus culture, and is very
successful with it. A considerable por-
ton Of her place is devoted to the cul-
ture of fruit, such as apples, ounces,
grapes, berries and pears. She employs
q man to do the work, but all the plan.
ming and superintendent is her own.
What one woman has done others can do.
Bealways exactly what you think other
people ought to be. Then there will be at
least one nearly perfect person in the
world.
Don't get it into your head that you
are not appreciated, or that you are not
loved as you deserve. 1t may be true,
but the most hurtful thing you can do is
to brood over this fact. Throw all such
thought away from you, engage in some
useful, helpful work, and force yourself
to be brave, bright and merry to every
body around you. Then in time you will
cease to expect people to give you the
affection that it is not in them to give.
The state worthy foreman of the
knights of Labor in Kansas is Mrs.
Fanny Mccormick.
l saw lately woman who looked

born and bred in poverty and had worked
hard all her life, yet she had the whitest
of teeth, a slim, pretty figure and milk
and rose complexion, with face as
plump and smooth as that of girl Of

asked. "Well, l never worry" she an

not, l throw it away from me like heap

The National American Woman Suf-
frage association meets at Washington
Jan. IA, and the headquarters of the del
egates will be at Willard's hotel.
The northwest has a famous woman
wit and humorous speaker. This is
Mrs. G. E. Wolverton, Of Oregon, who
was q delegate to the Republican con-
vention last June. She draws crowds
to listen to her by the wit and humor
which never fail to excite ripples and
roars of laughter. Women speakers, as
a rule, are quite too serious to be wholly
popular. They ought to cultivate the
humorous way of looking at things.
Dear girls, don't expect too much of
men, or you will be disappointed.
From present indications women will
get full suffrage in Australia before they
will in the United States. The scarcity
of women in the Australian colonies
prompted men to make the most of wo-
men, and so every advantage was offered
to them, even to coeducation in the uni
versities. Old iron bars of tradition did
not have to be hacked away first in those
blessed new lands. Consequently all over
the Australian British colonies a gener-
