Feminine
Snapshots
How Shall the Unfortunate
Feminine Sex Please
Everybody?

Woman, marry. That's your bust
ness, commands the old fogy who Is
always with us. Suppose she does
marry and finds she must afterward
carr her own living or s%tarvef Mar
ried woman, get back home and stay
there! You've III right to take the
bread out of the mouths of single wom-
en-. Starve if you will and let your
children starve. but don't come in COM
petition with the single woman, once
more thunders the old fogy. For TWEEN
ty years the New York board of edu-
cation has been thrashing over the
aged straw of the question whether
married women may be ''permitted'
to teach in the public schools, and
when the knell of the twentieth cen
fury strikes it will probably be at
ii still. In connection with this may
be mentioned some recent statistics of
married men who desert their families.
Last year ga such abandoned fami-
lies applied for aid to the Public Chart
ties organization in New York. There
were 1,565 children in the families thus
abandoned by their alleged breadwin-
ners. The cause of the mans deser-
ton of the helpless ones for whose eX-
istence on this plane he is responsible
is in the majority of the cases, so far
as they Il be hunted down, intemper-
ance on his part, frequently combined
with l%aziness. One deSerter claimed
that his wife was a religious fanatic
and very deaf and suspicious besides.
In this case ones sympathies are with
the deserter, but he appears to be the
sole victim. The others are simply no
account men. Yet all the world is des-
perately shooting woman into matri-
mony. Then after she is in and finds
herself tied to Il man who either can
not or will not maintain her in the
style she has a right to expect, If she
tries to earn her own bread all the
world is up again and tries to shoe
her out of life. Nice planet this is for
a woman to live OH, isn't it?
The best way to succeed n the
easiest in the long run for women who
know they can do something is to start
enterprises of their own. The posts in
established industries are already large
ly filled by men who are not going to
give their places up, and, indeed, there
is no reason why they should. But let
the woman who is strong, determined
and shrewd-the more gentle and WON
anly she is the better, also-think things
over carefully, decide what she can do,
then begin it on her w account and
to it till success comes. A notable
example Of the wisdom of this policy

is Miss Matte ~SheIdan, founder II
editor of Il lively 1t le art and society
in New York. Miss Sheridan
was a Louisville girl who knew how to
write. she went bravely to The great
city, where success is so hard to gain,
starting first as Il newspaper contribu
tor. She won speedily II foothold that
would have satisfied many, but not
Matte Sheridan. After several years
she founded II periodical of her own.
which has made her independent SO.
cially and financially.
When you heal II say she has
all the rights she wants You nay con-
clude she has for sure all the rights
she is capab'e of exercising.
| wonder why it is that benevolent
working people do not start Il mission
among the benighted rich TO teach them
how to do something useful.
What would the newspapers of New
York do without these two headlines;
"Women Ia Panic In Trolley Crash
'Wonen In Panic In Ferry Crash?'
b. r.
Most people would he very much
surprised to learn what Their greatest
faults lire III the estimation of their ac-
uuaintanceS, and they would indig-
nantly deny that they possessed such
faults.
A curious thought has come into my
mind. Lately | saw a picture of Hi
ram Cronk, the old soldier of 1912, who
died ii little while ago at the age of
1c5. Grouped around him were also
half one pictures of his children, aged
eighty and thereabout. The portrait
of the venerable Hiram himself looked
not "A day older than that Of his eighty
year-old son. Now, if an individual
1O5 years old looks no older than
eighty, why should the person Of eighty
look any older than fifty-fivef See?
Why should not the scale slide back
ward in the same proportion?
The greater the victory the greater
must be the struggle to gain it.
A bachelor man, explaining why so
many of his sex do not marry, says:
1--WE all go on the theory that no man.,
however good, is good enough for a
woman. That is why we don't get mar
ricd. Are bachelors happy? Well, they
think they are" And are bachelor
girls happy? Well, they, too, think
they are.
A bill was introduced in the last
New Jersey legislature to stop hanging
women for murder in that state. This
is plain justice. If capital punishment
is ever j%ustifable it should never be in
ficted on women till women have the
right to sit on juries that condemn
members of their sex.

WashtnEtOn After Retirement.

George Washington's life, after he
retired from public service and went
to live on his beautiful estate, Mount
Vernon, was simple and methodical i'll
the extreme. Every morning he rose
early, made Il plain toilet, and, al
though he had Il body servant, washed
and shaved himself. Before break
fast 1t was his custom to write Il few
letters with his favorite gold pen and
then visit the stables. He kept his
OWL accounts very carefully, and his
handwriting was remarkable for neat
ness, accuracy and uniformity of
stroke. His breakfast usually con
sisted of Indian cakes and honey and
tea or coffee. After leisurely partak-
ing of 1t, he daily mounted his horse
and visited every corner of his prop
erty. His appearance on horseback
was most imposing, as he always wore
a riding frock of handsome drab col
ored broadcloth, ornamented with
plain gilt buttons and Il walstcoat of
fine scarlet cloth trimmed with golG
lace and gilt buttons. His special at
tendant, Bishop, in scarlet livery, al
WAYS rode behind him.

wife, who stood by his side, smiled n
glance of approval. Mr.. Depew says
that he is ready to face any criticism
that may be made of his acts as a di-
rector of the Equitable and declares
that the choice of Paul Morton as pres
ident of the society is a wise one, even
though one of Mr.. Morton's first acts
in carrying out a policy of retrench-
ment was to lop off an annual fee of
$4,000 that had been paid Senator De-
pew for his services as n legal adviser
of the company. Mr.. Depew cut short
his vacation in order to meet any criti-
cism of his course in connection with
Equitable matters that might arise.
Senator Depew has said that he finds
1t very hard to refuse any request
made of him. "That Is the reason" he
added, "why | make speeches at SO
many dinners and tell stories. That

Old Roman Ways,

A rich Roman who married was re-
garded as Il fool. Unmarried and
without heirs, he was courted by
crowds Of syeophants and legacy hunt
ers, who swarmed around him, on the
lookout for gifts during his life or for
legacies at his death. He was an OBJ
ject of attention to and adulation from
all. Each Roman wed with his neigh
bors in his display of wealth. Osten-
tation became a passion. \ feast was
not considered a success unless the
cost of 1t was a matter for discussion
by "all Rome" Palaces and villas
were built in the most splendid and
costly style, Beautiful marbles, gold
and silver and precious stones were
lavishly used in order to show the
wealth of the wne Nero had sew
eral rooms in his golden house studded
all over with pearls. Goethe might
well term the Romans the greatest par
venus in history.

Europe that Senator Chauncey Mitch

and postprandial speaker, was becom-
