Several varieties OF fishes which have

KATE FIELD ON SUFFRAGE.

Kate Field does not believe that many
women desire to vote, although she believes
in their inherent right to the ballot. She
says, in recent interview on the subject:
Women are not sufficiently enlightened
on the subject to want suffrage and I am
not so sure that it is wise to give anybody
anything unless they show desire for it..
They would be just like deadheads, who
always growl. They never appreciate
what they get, while those who pay their
way sit out the show, and generally like
it. l believe in the Justice of woman's
suffrage l believe they have as much
right to it as men. / don't see that women
in Wyoming and Colorado are a bit
different from the women in the States
where they have no suffrage.
Women want some mental dissipation
They want to get away from the humdrum
existence they lead. Men have their clubs
and political meetings and such things to
give spice to their lives, but do not appre-
ciatc the narrowness of the circle in which
women move. When women have such
serious things as politics to interest them
they will drop great deal that is trifling.
I anything in the world could reduce the
number OF hours women devote to shopping,
what Il blessing it would be There are no
gadders on earth like American women. If
they gaddedto some purpose-if they took
up fine cooking or aesthetic dressing for
instance would be different"
