tertains in novel way, and she is in

Mrs. Stout had an evening for
some of the young people, both mar
ried and unmarried and also enter
tanned about so ladies a few days
later in the afternoon.
Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Forcum had a
charming afternoon at cards at the
home of the former.
A happy and prosperous year to the
society world.
Woman's suffrage is not SO dear
to my heart as to many of my sis
ters, who think their rights are be-
ing trampled upon. However, every
one to his or her idea of freedom and
right Has woman natural, inner
ent right to vote, how about the
many women who oppose it, how
about the community at large, the
commonwealth? But here we are
getting into deep water A lady said
in discussing the suffrage question,
that one benefit would be that in the
event of equal suffrage the husband
and wife could discuss politics in
heated terms and give the poorly
cooked meal rest. Or if they did
agree upon the political situation
they could boost the cause by max
ing political speeches one to the
other, instead Of curtain lectures.
Would women reform politics? An
authority states that the ground TAX
en- that woman as woman would be
sure to act on higher plane than
man as man, is now urged less than
formerly, the very mistakes and ex-
cesses of the agitation itself having
partially disproved it; and again.
while the sympathies of women are
wholly on the side of right. it is by
no means safe to assume that their
mode of enforcing that sentiment will
be equally judicious.
Two votes for married man may
be considered as a premium on mar
riage and in some of the past cam
paigns in this state it would have
been quite an item toward keeping
up with the family expenses. How
ever this does not necessarily fol-
low that the wife will vote with the
husband. How many couples do you
know who so truly accord in mind
and spirit that they would agree on
any momentOus question, especially
when they both know that they can
talk as they please and vote as they
please. The Australian system is a
great protector of the disagreeable
bands vote without his having a
chance to find it out but then she
would throw it up to him the very
first time they had a spat, so she is
not so thoroughly protected after all.
Temperance would probably receive
great assistance from the woman sllf-
fragists whenever it was made an
issue in a campaign, but there is no
attempt to check the saloon evil in
the states where equal suffrage now
exists? Why is it?
The wage question is the strongest
yet, advocates of equal suffrage say
that women would be at once ele-
men workers when the ballot is
placed in their hands. But is not
the natural expectation of every nor
NAL girl, sooner or later, that she
will marry and leave her work ?
There is. therefore, not that ncen-
tive that men have to become highly
skillful and the character of her
work is, consequently, not so high,
generally speaking, as mems. lacking
as 1t does two factors, time and in
centive, to develop great skill.
= And then. also, can an Office hold
ing woman properly discharge her
duties as a wife and mother? The
candidates will not all be unmarried
women and there will always be can
didates. What will become Of the
morals Of society when not to be
married, not to be mother, is the
prerequisite for womans success
in a chosen career?
Satisfied.
Love wore threadbare dress OF
And tOiled upon the road all day.
Love welded pick and carried pack
And bent to heavy loads the back
> Though meager fed and sorely tasked
One only wage love ever asked.
