WHEN WOMAN is NOT GRACEFUL.
Conditions Under Which She Manages to
Look Absurd.

Conditions Under Which She Manages to
Look Absurd.
Why is it that, notwithstanding the
worship accorded to woman in the alb
stract, she generally manages to look
absurd under conditions wherein men
try to keep their dignity? Is it stereo-
typed convention which hampers our
judgments, or are these things really
facts? For instance, there is nothing re.
markable in an old gentleman crossing
street or even walking in a gale of
wind, but place an elderly woman,
somewhat portly, in the same situation,
and the result is caricature. Her pet
ticoats outline her shape absurdly, a
vast expanse Of stocking fills doubt
full gap, and her feet seem to straggle
helplessly.
Few women can enter a carriage,
mount the steps of a coach or hurry in
TO hanson gracefully, while the spec
tacle of a woman getting into boat is
far from pleasing. A stout lady ON BIZ
cycle gives fair cause for ridicule, and
yet fat people dance far more lightly
and buoyantly than thin people. The
slimmest girl cannot run prettily, and
As for football, we have seen the re-
suits.
But, to leave the sphere Of athletics.
4 dowager in low dress is far from
pleasing, while the multiplicity of OBJ
jects carried by woman when out shop
ping seems to hamper and render her
movements awkward She has none of
the convenient pockets affected by men,
she is always seeking for her pocket
handkerchief or struggling to extract
her purse from the black folds of her
gown, or burdened with an umbrella,
parcel, a satchel or with her dress it.
self. On journey she is hot and hus-
tered and in hurry and numbered
with many cares, while a man drops
easily into his seat, unfolds his paper
and smokes or thinks, impervious to
fate. A woman is only really graceful
when she is at rest, lolling in carriage
or sitting in drawing room or else
dancing, when she has the genius for it.

the platform. Every possible argument
will be made to defeat it; nothing will be
left undone. 1t mas some splendid advo-
Gates among the Democrats-men who
will fight for it on the floor of the conven-
ton if necessary. If there are enoug of
these men the resolution will go through,
but that cannot be known until the last
moment.
The Democracy runs no risk in adopt
ing this plank. Those who are discounted
on account of it cannot turn to either Re
publican, Populist or Prohibition party,
for they will find it in all OF these. All
they can do is simply to work and vote
against it, and the party will be IN no wise
injured. If. by the one act ofsrejectlng
thls plank, the party could carry the State
in November, there might be some excuse
for so doing, but the feeling against 1t is
not so intense or so widespread as to win
sure majority for the party which opposes
it. On the other hand, should the amend
ment carry, and there is much better
prospect for it than appears from super

in their women; nor could it ask for their
votes with as good grace after it has
done all in its power to prevent their hav-
ing any votes.
The week following this convention, the
suffragists propose holding big mass
meeting in San Francisco. to "ratlfy the
planks." The most distinguished men
and women in the State will address this
meeting. There will be Populist speakers
and Prohibition speakers and Republican
speakers, men OF wide reputation. 1t rests
with the Democratic Convention to say
whether there shall be a Democratic

all the privileges granted to men, includ-
ing that of voting.
But men made this constitution; no
woman's opinion was asked, noswoman' 8
voice was heard, and after this broad and
liberal declaration of rights its trainers
began to nullify it. In the very next para
graph, article II, they state, Every ma
tive male citizen, every male naturali2ed
citizen, etc., shall be entitled to vote at all
elections-provided, that he is not ma
tive of China, an idiot, an insane person
or person convicted OF crime" ETC.
Think of the indignity put upon women.
while they were peacefully at home at
tending to their womanly duties!
Now it is this obnoxious word male"
that the eleventh amendment proposes to
strike out The women are willing to be
barred from voting if they are natives OF
China, ldiotic, insane or criminal. No
woman included in this category is pro-
testing because she is disfranchised. But
there are a good many thousand women
in California who do not belong to any OF
these classes but who possess every quail
hcation under which men vote, exec pt
that, through no fault of their own OF
anybody else's, they happened not to be
born OF the male sex. The vast ma jority
OF these women are moral and law-abid-
ing; large numbers of them are well-edu.
Gated; many are taxpayers; hundreds
are in business; in every community they
are found in the churches, the charitable
organizations. the literary and social
circles. They are the conservators of the
home, the mothers OF the race. Women
in California, as well as elsewhere, have
made immense progress in the last hall
century. There is a vast difference be-
tween the women who presided over the
spinning-wheeI and the soap-kettle OF
those early days, and those who preside
over the congresses and the business estab-
lishments and the university cassrooms
OF the present day.

men, such as framed the Constitution oil
California, could come together now and
