THE WOMAN AND THE TROLLEY.

Is There Any Connection Between
Voting and Standing in the Street
Cars.
A New York man recently said in an
interview:
"In Denver not long ago l was on a
crowded street car. A dazen women
were hanging to the straps while men
occupied a major portion of the seats.
but not one of these got UP to offer his
place to a woman. 1 asked the con-
ductor about it, and he answered me
with a grin that the women were
voters, and the opinion out there was
that one voter had just as much right
to stand up in a street car as an
other"
1t is possible that a car conductor
might be capable of making as fiat and
silly a remark as this, but it is utterly
incredible that a New Yorker should
have been SO surprised at the sight of
a woman hanging on to the straps as
to ask the reason why. 1t must have
given him quite a home feeling" as

streets of New York may be seen wo-

Not long ago a delegation of women

waited upon the commissioners to see
if some means could not be found to
prevent the men from crowding into
the ladies' cabin and usurping all the
seats, but were told that every possible

And yet the women of New York and
Brooklyn are not voters.
During a vigorous campaign to Sc
cure woman suffrage in California a
few years ago Miss Anthony boarded
a crowded street car in San Francisco.
Instantly several men sprang up, and
one said, Susan 3. Anthony shall
never stand while l sit" and another
exclaimed, well, she may have your
seat, but I shall pay her fare" So
you see, there are men and men, and
some are gentlemen.
When the Federation of Women's
Clubs met in Denver there were many
in attendance from various parts of
the country who did not believe in wo-
man suffrage, but hundreds of these
were thoroughly converted to it by see

that quite successfully initiates Rus

sermon on the divine privileges of big

dazzling splendor, and you felt it par

The model was the loose back cloak

two graceful skirt flounces shaped in

Gently been patented a gas burner so
constructed that the gas may be blown
out without any serious results fol-
lowing. Like many an other useful de-
vice. the principle is exceedingly sim
pie. Everyone knows that heat expands
metals and cold contracts them, but no
one had previously thought of applying
the principle TO a gas burner. With this
arrangement, however, the gas may be
blown out and within a minute the
absence of heat will cause the metal
of the burner to contract and thus close
a valve which shuts off the gas COM
pletely. Deaths by asphyxiation are by
no means rare and very frequently
large and disastrous fires are brought
about by the accidental igniting of es-
Gaping gas. A gust of wind through
an open window will sometimes blow
out a gas flame (the chapter of acct
dents is not made UP entirely of Reu :

this new gas burner is an invention of
no little utility.

Valuable Hints as 10 Best Way of

Introducing Them Into Large Gro
ceries-what to Say to the Nam
nger and How to Say II.
Many women would like to know how
to have a home made article of food
put on sale at the large grocers, in a
city.
In the first place, the early autumn
is the best time in which to introduce
new goods, as people are then coming
back to town. You may be told that 1t
is too early and to bring in small
order before Thanksgiving or the holi-
days, but if you had waited until then
to begin you might have found the
shops already stacked up with extra
delicacies and unwilling to add further
to their stores. February or March is
the next best time, when the Easter
tide is preparing. but the fresh fruits
and vegetables of spring and summer
interfere with the large sale OF many
fine groceries.
Do not make your initial trip to a
grocer's on Friday or Saturday, as they
are very busy days, and do not go too
early in the morning when the bust
ness of the day has to be got in order;
IL O'CLOCK is early enough.
You will do well to put on your neat
est and incest apparel, and wear be-
coming hat and good gloves. Not only
does a woman derive a certain moral
support from the consciousness of be-
ing well dressed, not only is it desira-
BILE to avoid any effect of begging, but
it serves to point the idea that the
food offered for sale will be prepared
with the same lady-like refinement that
is shown in attire.
Take with you a sample of your Jelly
or marmalade, or sailed nuts, or can
died fruit put up as daintily and origi-
nally as you know how and exactly as
it is to look when placed on sale, label,
outer wrappings and ALL and go to any
first class retail grocers.
If you know any member of the firm
by name, or have any friend who does,
and whose name you can use as an in

case tell the first clerk you meet whom
