Despite periodical cries of danger on
account of the new woman. the ad-
vance in equal suffrage and various
other innovations it remains a fact
that American women are not cutting
the figure in politics which for many
years has been prophesied as the cal
amity of the century. We are drawing
close to the end Of this period and as
yet most of the foolish things done in
politics have been the work of men,
who TO judge from results have not
been guided even by women's opinions.
1t is probably this reason that the an
tics Of Mrs. Griffith in Ohio, have at
tracted such wide spread attention.
But even in this case, her Vacillation
has scarcely equaled that of Mr.. Grif-
fifth. Ths only cause for regret in the
matter Is that she was not kidnapped
Mt an earlier stage of the game be-
fore she had opportunity to make such
goose of herself and her husband
There are those who declare that
Notwithstanding her political proclivi-
ties, she had enough feminine vanity
to quite enjoy finding herself a factor
in a great crisis, and to have her fair
face and pretty hats described in the
metropolitan papers.
To tell the truth the excitement and
the glory of political career could
hardly recompense the average woman
for the losses she would suffer from
lack of time to devote to teas and
lurchcons where the pretty frOcks of
other women could be examined at
shorter range than from the platform
at mass meetings and caucuses. l
have no doubt in the world that the
dress question will enter largely into
the calculation of even the most ad-
vanced women IL ever they do get the
ballot, for laugh at the seN as You
will, because Of its frivolity and deVo-
tion to fashions and fads, yet the well
gowned-sutably gowned woman pos
sesses Il great advantage over the one
who appears in public in unattractive,
dowdy array.
1t isn't a Disgrace to spend much time
and thought on dress IL one has the
time to spare and the thought which
win produce pleasing results, and for
tunat4ly the majority of women know
that neither politics, questions Of state,
intellectual pursuits Or any other great
interest will be able to entirely divert
the attention of the sex from the Idea
Of making the most Of personal ap-
pearance. The prophets who foresee a
per yersion of the charms of femininity
in the advent of advanced thought for
women are a far cry from the truth.
The great women, the leaders, the ones
who make the sex adored and admired
will continue to wear frills and look
dainty and sweet and fair. Women
| wouldn't adopt the horrible bloomer
style. They wouldn't be driven in this
age to wear disfiguring hoop skirts and
monstrosities in the way of bustles and
false hair. They are too sensible, too
