Limitations Of woman's Usefulness.
Mrs. Clarence Burns, ex-President
Of the Woman's West Side Republi-
can Club, of New York, in speaking
of her experiences in public and phil
anthlopic work says:
''No women can he hong in public
life without finding out how she is
limited and her usefulness circum-
scribed by the lack Of the ballot. |

ested.

men. could not see how a woman
of refinement could want to vote.
thought men could and would do ev-
erything necessary.
II have found my mistake. Again
and again have seen bills we work
ed for thrown out because only wo-
men, voteless women, were advocat-
ing them. Women before Legisla-
lures are treated with the utmost
courtesy. Men are too wise now to
show them the contempt of former
years. But, with charming politness
and the most defelential manner inn
aginable, they kill the bill for which
women have worked hard and long.
"They would not do il if women
had votes. They would consider long
and seriously before alternating 100,-
900 women with ballots in theirhands.
"Women have to find these things
out gradually. They may have to
learn them by experience, as l did, l
am thoroughly convinced that no wo-
men can be long in public work with
out finding out that a great many of
the things she wants can be reached
only through the ballot"
