FEMALE SUFFRAGE As VIEWED BY

1t is instructive to read the obiec-
tions to female suffrage made by Cana
dian women III our esteemed conten po-
rary. The Coin du Ecu of Montreal, for
the reason that they are just the kind
Of objections to it that used to be made
in this country 40 on 30 years ago.
Nine Chapleau says that women ought
to reign ~ the home, while men ought
to attend to the government Mime.
Marchand says that women have not
the opportunity of studying complicated
political questions and 50 must seek to
gain an influence like that of the women
81 the gospels. Nine. Besiardins has
no other ambition than the happiness
of her family. and willingly leaves the
franchise To her husband Nine Dam
durand believes that women are most
free when the public business is trans
acted by men. Miss Cowan does not
desire that women shall have the privi-
lege Of voting, as even men abuse that
privilege. Other Canadians who were
interviewed on the subject by The Coin
du Ecu said that women should keep
away from The noise of politics, and
that the family circle should be saved
from political pollution. and that wom-
anly virtues would be lowered in poli-
tics. and that the ideal of womanhoOd
Is apart from politics. and that women
ought to be content with their LOT as
the angels Of the home Lady Aber-
deem said that in her capacity as wife
Of the governor general OF Canada she
preferred to refrain from expressing any
opinion on the question.
Yes, these Canadian objections to
woman suffrage are just like the Amer
lean objections to it that used to he
urged years ago. All Of them are very
familiar to everybody in this country
who has taken any interest IN the de-
bate on the subject. Yet the cause of
woman suffrage has advanced IT'D many

gressive states "a the abounding west.

The popularity OF bicycle riding

practice of side saddle riding is attrib-
uted to the vagaIy of a queen who was
too defolmed to use the Cross saddle.
There has been a vague idea that any
other method would be injurious. AS a
matter of fact, the practice of using the
side saddle has been adopted because it
adapts itself to modern dress, and be-
cause without a special dress no other
method would be suitable. But cross

Next to the threatened return of the
crinoline, the revival which is making
the most sensation in fashionable circles
is the return OF white stockings. For
months past there have been various
prophecies and not few announce
ments of the coming Of this revival
But for various reasons. and possibly
the good sense Of women. with the ex-
ira expense Of white stockings. which
must be changed more frequently than
colored ones, the coming has been post
poned. Dark hosiery has had q long
span Of life, and a remarkable one,
when it is remembered that IN former
times only servants wore colored stock
ings. 1t was not until the end Of the
last century that a lady Of fashion en-
deavored to introduce black stockings
into vogue. and she did not succeed.
Even now there are many dainty and
elegant ladies IN France who never wear
colored stockings. but leave them 10 their
servants Without doubt black and
