How History Repeats Itself.

During the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Woman's Suffrage association,
held recently in Brooklyn, Mrs. Carrie
Lane Chapman Gait, chairman Of the
committee of organization N. A. w. S.
A., said to reporter that England was
getting far ahead Of America in the ex-
tension of political liberty to women.
"The parliament of England" she
said, "has just conferred municipal suf-
frage upon single women and widows
Of Ireland upon substantially the same
terms as men. Municipal suffrage was
granted to the women of England in
1869 and was so successful in it's oper-
alton that in 1881 it was extended to
the women of Scotland. Now, after 30
years of satisfactory experience in Eng
land ami II years in Scotland, it is ex-
tended to the women of Ireland. Full
suffrage, including the parliamentary
vote, was conferred upon the women of
the isle of Man in 1880, to the women
of New Zealand in 1898, and in 1894
the same privilege was extended to the
women Of South Australia. The United
States was the first Of the nations to
extend the suffrage to men upon liberal
terms, England rather tardily following
her example, but the rapid and far
reaching extensions of suffrage to wom-
en- within the domain of the British
seem to Indicate that Eng
land has been more ready, after all, to
recognize tho logic of democratic prin-
tiples.
1T is u timely query to make why
English and Irish women who are quail.

tions in Russia taxpaying women may

our sloping shoulders forty odd years

Let Girls Have GirlhoOd.

There is much talk in the press Of
Europe about the marriage Of the young
queen of Holland. It is said that she
does not wish to change her condition,
but purposes to rule alone, like Eliza
beth of England and Catherine Of Rus
STA, and for this decision there Is excel
lent reason in the arrangement made
for her that if she should become tho
mother Of a son she shall vacate the
throne in his favor as soon as he comes
Of age. If the little girl has already
sufficient sense Of the charms Of 'ca-
reer" to foresee in her teens how it
must feel to become discrowned SOW
ereign in the prime Of her years, she
must take pattern from the early firm
ness of Elizabeth, who, both in her
teens and her early twenties, refused
several good offers on the ground that
"by her faith and truth, and as God
heard her, she best liked the state she
was then in and was persuaded there
was no other comparable to it, and so
intended to continue"
But why should poor child be leased
about marrying when she is only II?
Queen Victoria the type for all time Of
matron monarch, did not make her
choice till she was nearly 81. Too early
marriages are the greatest possible mis-
take for girls An apple is no moro
ready to pluck as soon as it is fully round
ed on the tree than is a girl to marry
because she is womanly in stature. A
period of ripening and mellowing is yet
needed. Dr.. Matthews Duncan proved
years ago by elaborate statistics that
from % to 20 was the best age for the
safe and prosperous entry into woman's
kingdom Of motherhood, and, as to
mind, every mother and teacher Of
growing girls knows that there is q
period somewhere in the teens when
the sweetest natured child has period
Of "cantankerousness," a time when
she wants to go her own way and fails
to appreciate life's benefits in actual
possession-a period out of which the
right natured and we'll trained girl will
pass into ripened and sweet womanli-
ness if patience be exercised toward
her, but which should not be in the
hands Of all inexperienced young hus-
band to deal with. In one royal family
closely associated with our own the ex-
pertinent of very early marriages has
been tried with VIGOROUSLY unsatisfac-
tory results. Let girls have their girl
