Is second vice-president Of the City Red
Cross and chairman of its Manila library
committee. There are few who have had
30 long service, and few who ought to,
according to her.
For she is one of the women who, being
devoted to club and active in it, yet
says that clubs are not for all. II never

And when / asked my friend, who bowed
to her, who she was, the answer came:
She is a mother going to a mothers
club
"The proper mothers club for her to
attend was at home instead of dragging
little children away from home while she
should be told how to take care of them

THE UNSOLVED PROBLEM.
Peoples and religions have come and

sages of antiquity and the Roman and
Greek orators with their words of gold
have passed into the ages, and their lives
would have been naught had they not left
their footprints on the sands of time
Thought is immortal and can never die,
and the thought of having national and

N n RS LOWENBERG wins out by
NH her womanliness.
" That is the secret of her. She
is veteran club woman, and
\ withal so unclublike according
to the popular standard that she comes
upon you with little jolt of surprise
She doesn't even believe thoroughly in
suffrage. At least she doesn't think she
wants to vote.
Now that is very unlike the most Of
them. Many woman's clubs are sort of
disguise for suffrage. Women who want
to vote sometimes band together under a
literary and harmless exterior and watch
their chance. They are going to get it.,
too, by the way, for they are in earnest.
Mrs. Lowenberg says the same thing, and

called upon to talk Suffrage. Some of

lcok at it wonderingly and then run away
from it perhaps; but they must say that
they want it. But Mrs. Lowenberg, one
OIL Iue clcVereSt, DTalnleSt, most earnest
club women in this city, says frankly
that although she believes the ballot for
women is coming. she doubts if women
or the country will be any better off for it.
"Will women purify politics" she says.
"It is a question.
II am so afraid that instead of their
improving politics, politics will hurt them.
May not the polls rub off something of
that sweet womaniness which every one
loves and admireS? l am not sure of this,
you know. / am open to conviction on
this as well as on all other subjects, but
I fearit
"A woman at the polls must minge
with all sorts and conditions. 1t is NOT
being snobbish to dread this. Women
must keep up their ideals. Men depend
upon for this.
Suppose a woman were running for
office (and why should she not, if she
were permitted to vote?) would she not
have to associate with all kinds of wo-
men in her seeking of votes? Would she
not have the temptation to lower her
self in order to gain favor? 1t is a great

TONGUE OF NORWAY.

Hr. Poestion, the Austrian philolo-
gist, writes very entertainingly on the
Scandinavian languages in Die Zeit.
Swedish is the most musical of the
three, and Danish the least. AS COM
pared with Danish, the Norwegian
speech, though very similar, is clearer
and simpler, Danish holding somewhat
the same relation as Portuguese to
Spanish. Foreign literary interest at
present is largely confined to Norway,
giving the language prominence
over that OF its sister tongues. Even
DR.. Georg Brandes complains that for
eigners learn Norwegian rather than
Danish.
Even from a practical standpoint,
Norwegian is to be preferred" writes
Mr.. Poestion. 1t is easier to learn, he
says, as Danish, on account of it's pc
culiarities of pronunciation, is as diff
cult as Russian. The method of pro
nunciation and articulation is on much
the same principle as German If one
speaks Norwegian it is comparatively
easy to understand educated Swedes
and Danes, and a man can make him
self understood to educated people in
the other northern countries The
same can lie said of Swedish, as the
Swedes and Danes understand each
other only after considerable practice.
An educated Norwegian understands
both with ease. The story is told of
a Swedish professor travelling in Den
mark being compelled to use German
in order to make his wants known.
In Denmark, he says, Norwegians
are often taken for Swedes, much to
their disgust. On the other hand,
Swede never mistakes a Norwegian
for a Dane. The Norwegian language
deserves the prominence it has at
tanned by its literature. which has at
tracted the attention of foreign cul.
ture.
