Rev. Anna Shaw, president of the
American Suffrage society, expresses
no sentiments and maintains no dogma
that are surprises, but in England,
where she has been talking to. the
wives OF clergymen, she is regarded
with a. sort of-wonder not .unmixed
with bewilderment. For eight years
she preached in Massachusetts, and ho,
splendid mastery of every subject she
discussed met warm appreciation for
her ability to present a premise n

Locke himself could no excel. This
gift of calm reasoning by@a feminine
mind isnot accepted k~indly@in Great
Britain, where the majority of women
prefer, or at least are willing, to be led
by the masculine mind. So it has come

themselves down to employ such a

There are few women who have re-

the fair Cynthia. Many of her friends
say h possesses some sort of nag

and maintains a telepathic-sympathy
with them, such as Lady Mary Mac
Donald did with her collies in the
Highlands, bringing them to her from
a point miles away at any hour which
her guests chose to name. The Roche
