MERRY woMAs's COMMENT.
The columns Of the Louisville Pines just
Ecintillated Encampment week as the
Tattler," Miss Alyra Sydnor Miller. re-
corded her impressions evoked by the great
doings OF the historic gathering.
Her beautiful welcome lyric TO the Grand
Army entitled "She's Good Girl Now" has
become an American classic. 1t appeared in
the N.RC. columns at the time. her good-by
ID herewith given. full Of the same quaint
humor, but in different vein:
Grand Army folk,
You leave US broke
And all-hred Tired, oh. tpys
Here's love aud luck
From Old Kentuck--
Good-by, old boys good-by.
We killed the calf
To make you laugh
The barrel neer dry
Aud folks galore
Meier shot before
Got shot this week-good-by.
Now, stir your stumps
While meath the pumps
We hold our heads aud sigh;
Here's love and luck
From Old kenluck-
ooo-by-vamoose-go od-by.
And now here are some racy excerpts on
"Woman a Politician" prepared for the
Loyal Home Workers program:
The women patriots who have eraced the
city by their presence this week have left the
women politicians way back on the side track
Anyhow, what has the woman politician 70 do
m Louisville just at this time? She certainly
will have TO cudgei her brains for an apology
for her presence. But pshaw where is the
woman who ever lacked the nerve 10 grab up

Here in Kentucky everything goes; even
the woman politician and people have ceased
20 wonder that like Eve, the bloomer succumbs
hold, and gets the curl out Of her bangs hust-
ling for her candidate.
The presence OF heart marks the woman
patriot; the absence of it the politician. The
former is lovely flower sprnging from the
red sod of the battlefield, in the fetid atmos-
phere Of the hospital. or by the quiet shrine Of
the hreside. She illumines the gloom Of many

music upon the wind.
The woman politician is a scentless blossom

And yet women have taken a header into

The pages OF history are frecllled with the
names OF women politicians whose success
seems mainly due to the fact that they sized up
