When Women Have Vote-What VIII
Happen Then.
When women have a vote. and a mem
ber of the senate or house of representa-
tives of state or of the nation is charged
with grossly and notoriously immoral
conduct, and the charges are proved
against him, he will be expelled from
his seat and from political life forever.
When women have vote, saloon keepers
will not be members of school boards or
be permitted to hold wide open their
dens of destruction next door to or on
the same block with the schoolhouse.
On the contrary, women will be mem
bers Of school boards themselves and
control the same in the interest of econ
omy, constantly improving education,
honesty and equal pay for equal work to
teachers of both sexes. They will see
to it that the streets are clean, safe and
well lighted, or they will know the rea-
son why. They will also see to it that
at proper intervals throughout every
town and city there is a plot set off for a
public playground, where, under only
such restrictions as are necessary for
their own safety, boys and girls may
find that vent for the intense muscular
activity which is essential to their growth
and health. Then children will no longer
be nuisance in the street or in the little
flats in which so many city people must
live. When women have vote, no man
who is a notorious dcbauchee and drunk
ard, and who has cruelty wronged a
woman, can ever be elected to or even
get the nomination for any Office Wom-
en- voters will understand that they owe
it to womanhood to rebuke the ambi-
ton of such man; also that they owe
it to their own growing sons to show
that no such person can hold office in
this Union. All this will happen when
women have q vote. Perhaps that is why
the majority of men are determined won
en- shall never have vote as long a.
they can help it.
Mrs. Heaton Dart and her niece are
making an excellent income in New
York city at an occupation which as yet
no other women in New York state have
chosen. 1t is that of embalming dead
bodies. The two women embalm at
present an average Of 40 bodies month,
doing the work with their own hands.
Mrs. Dart is graduate Of the New York
Embalming college. The way in which
she came to adopt her unusual trade is
curious one. She and her family had a
terrible experience with man embalm-
er. Her brother then asked her to learn
the art herself, SO as to spare their own
family from the brutal indifference Of
the average professional embalmer, of
which they had just had SO unpleasant
an experience. Then the thought struck
her that she would learn it as an occu-
patton, because she was widow with
children to support. She did SO, with
eminent success. She reasoned rightly
that relatives and friends would rather
have the body of a woman or a child
embalmed by woman than by man.
Mrs. Dart is quiet, gentle and refined in
her manners, but q reporter says Of her,
MRS. Dart looks as though she could
make a success of almost anything"
Sarah Grand says: For vulgarity, for
boldness, for folly, ignorance and want
of principle, for petty weakness, intrigue
and positive vice, you must go the aver
age society woman Oh, Sarah!
There is most promising field of lit
erature for women in the writing of
plays. Few dramatic efforts have had
the success lately that is attending Mar
