ty soon those antisutfrage ladies will
be taking so much part in politics that
they will no longer know where they
are at" The league women had a
pamphlet printed called Facts For
Fathers and Mothers" They employ
ed twenty-five large wagons and
number of messenger boys to distrib-
ute these facts" through New York
and Brooklyn They had them trans
lated into German for the Germans.
They visited the wives and mothers OF
voters and urged their cause. They
worked as disinterestedly as nobody
but woman can do for months.
When at last victory crowned their
banner. they turned over the money
they had left to the mems campaign
committee to help pay its expenses.
But If those devoted ladies had had
each her good ballot TO deposit as
we'll how much more effectively they
could have worked!
"Men has more self control than wo-
men, heard a clubwoman say bold
ly and not ashamed. They has. has
they? 1t is also to be hoped that in
general they has" better knowledge
Of English grammar than this clubwo-
man had.
In a street car the other day | saw

large parcel and intently studying q
book of etiquette. 1t was open at
weddings" and she conned ii DER
and Ger. Why not? If anybody should
know how TO have the correct usage at
her own marriage, it Is the girl who
has earned her wedding dress. But at
the same time the girls teeth were un-
cared for and offensive looking, dan
druff and a long, hideous hair lay loose
upon her coat collar, and her bare
hands were not clean. Her book OF ct
iduette told not one word concerning
these first essential points that mark
the true lady. Where is the book of
manners that will tell girls how to
keep themselves spotlessly clean and
sweet and tidy? Let US have it.
Rev. Estelle Elizabeth Padgham has
been chosen pastor of the Unitarian
church Of Perry, Ia. She had pluck
enough to take her own head for things
and study for the ministry against the
will of her parents. This alone proves
her young woman of forceful char
acter, and it is not surprising to read
that in a sermon preached not long
since at Des Moines she electrified
her audience with her elOquence."
Here is something from the other
side of the house In reference to prop
erty laws for women: A rich man died,
leaving several hundred thousand dol
lars to his married daughter in her
own right. His funeral pageant was
decorated with S155 worth of flowers
to show how sorry the daughter was.
In due time the florist presented his
bill, which the daughter refused to
pay. He sued. and she still refused to
pay, taking the ground that flowers al
her fathers funeral were a necessity,
and therefore not she. but her hus-
band. was responsible for the bill.

not one Of them is newspaper writing.

Girls. look little out before you marry
and live in Illinois!
A girl lately lost her mind over writ,
ing a novel. This is not surprising. II
Is surprising. however, that more peO-
ple do not lose their minds reading the
novels girls write.
