She Leads the Way to In

/ W L is notable that the first really
4 Isl effective movements for inter
/ M national peace and universal
brotherhood should have been set
4 going by women. War, it is plain
would ultimately cease if the women
4 Of warning nations We're fast bound
| together in sisterhood that infuenc-
ed for peace all their respective pri-
4 waite families The Women's Interna-
1 tional Council, founded by MaMWright
4 SeWall, is already a power fte9a keep
ing the peace. Men, like the lower
animals, are constitutionally ready to
fight. It is the animal still dominant
! in them, and women will have to rise
and hold this brute in check by culti-
waiting ever the sense of justice and
brotherhood in such of the masculine
sex as have not yet emerged from
their influence. a recent additional
step toward international brotherhood
has been taken by some women in
4 Paris. There is now in operation in
that city the British American Young
/ Womens Christian association. 1t has
been established for the purpose of
aiding young American and English
/ girls who find themselves stranded in
Paris or who are obliged to live there
on a very small income At the B. A.
7. VIC. A. home board may be OBJ
tanned for $4 a week Attached to the
establishment are instruction classes
in French, physical culture, nursing
ard millinery. An American woman,
Mrs. John Hoff. is president of this
association, while an English woman,
4 Miss tombstone, is secretary The
home is at No..5 Rue de Turin, in the
part of Paris called the European
quarter An employment agency for
! women is one of the features of this
invaluable institution Women of
high social standing in the English
American colony labor unitedly for the
prosperity of this fine home club.
When American and English women
thus work together with harmonious
enthusiasm their men will not be long
in following suit.
Did you ever think of the great diff
ference between wishing and willing?
The wishy woman sits still and saws.
Il wish | had money enough to go to
the worlds fair The woman of will
gets a hustle on her and finds a way
to go to the worlds fair or to achieve
whatever else she desires.
Civilized people will never be free
till each person can dress as he or she
pleases without even exciting com
ment of an unpleasant kind. How far
short of being civilized New York at
least is may be judged from the fact
that not long ago a learned Hindoo
who walked along its streets in the
robes of his native land was stoned.
II an American wearing his ordinary
coat and trousers had walked through
the streets Of town in India be
would not have been molested, scarce
ly even stared at. Which is the civ
ilized country?
When you contemplate going in for
some new health, beauty or food fad
make sure before you do so that it will
denver the goods.
There is no tyranny like that Of
fashion in dress '.Fashion is the
devils first assistant" remarks our
friend the Hayfeld Mower It's tyran-
ny is so unbounded that if you 80
into any city's great department stores
and ask for even a piece of dress
goods not of the weave in vogue at
the moment you are stared at as if
you were a freak and told that it is
''out of STYLE If you mention that
you want it very much you are told
again, coldly and CURLY, that it is
"out of style" And if you were to
look every textile goods shop in a large
city through, street by street, you
could not get that article The free
dom that women need most is release
from the letters of fashion Nine.
Rejane, the famous French actress, as
lovely physically as she is gifted, says
that woman will never be beautiful till
fashion goes out of existence.
AS high praise as was ever bestowed
on woman was that uttered by the
driver of the vehicle in which DR..
Emily Dunning, the first woman am
bulance surgeon in the world, made
her rounds in New York city. He said,
when she's at work she's a doctor;
when she's off duty she's a lady"
s@
/ To blame others for our failures
shows only our own weakmindedness
and lack of will power The strong,
steady, determined soul never whines.

Not long ago an evening reception
was given for brilliant young lady
who wore handsome white gown and
was admired by all present for her
