THE divorced wife the untrue wife
the nagging scold, the household drudge,
the Indifferent mediocrity of the average
housewife, result from the fact that wo-
men do not appreciate the impossibiIity
of centering their entire existence In the
husband to the exclusion of every other
interest" Is the assertion made by Mrs
A. NetteTfeld, who Is organizing a social
istic campaign among the women of St.
Louis
1T is not to the women of any partic-
ular class or condition that I appeal"
said Mrs. Netterfieid, quoted by the St.
Louis Republic. "The women who largely
make up the socialist class are the hard
est to arouse to sense Of their condi-
ton"
Mrs. Netterfeld's remedy for the current
evils of women's existence is that they
have other interests than those of the
home and the husband. She declares that
the home is necessary, ard, therefore
should be kept, but denies that it should
take up the entire thought and capacity
of the womans life.
Taking Il from the husbands stand
point, Mrs Netterheld asserts that from
personal experience she has found that
the more independence and brain wo-
man has the better able she is to interest
and keep the companionship of man.
not the conpanionship of administering
to his material desires, but the compan-
ionship of intellect.
Askcd how socialism would ameliorate
the present condition of women Mrs. Net
terfeld said:
There are certain qualities peculiar to
woman that, developed and used in the
right direction, would place her on a ned
estal of power and influence.
Intuition, perception, patience in detail
tact and, above all, the inimitable power
OF her sex are some of the things that
would establish her as political dictator
and as such she would have the power to
better, not only herself, but her neighbor
as well. The beginning of this triumph
ant campaign must be in the equality Of
sexes"

Everybody mas heard about Miss Baden
Powells bees. A nervous visitor going to
the house FOR the first time might indeed,
be almost afraid TO enter the drawing room.
But it is quite unnecessary TO call on this
gifted woman with a bee net over ones
head, for her curious pets are kept safely
under glass and from a safe position on
the other side one may watch the daily
life Of these fascinating insects. 1t is now
nearly thirty years since Sir Benjamin
Brodies gave Miss Baden-Powell her first
swarm Of bees, and ever since then she
has been marvelously successful with them
They live in a beehive Of plated straw and
by an ingenious contrivance designed by
the owner when the cover is taken off the
bees are all visible at work in the honey
combs. 1t Is curious to note how Miss
Baden-Powell has been able to train her
bees to make their honey in any article
she may give them, no matter what shape
A bicycle was made in honey by bees. To
obtain this she painted the outline of a
womans bicycle in red on the top of a
glass case, which was then placed in the
hive.

her age, decided to celebrate her 18th birth

attractions of such an occasion, when mem

birthday cake, with its elaborate overlap Of
carved icing and the figures symbolic OF
the occasion in pink in the center. All went
merry as a marriage bell. The cake was
the center of admiration, and to none more
so than the littlest guest a boy OF l. who
found the pink numerals irresistible. and
when the eyes Of the company were turned

them into his mouth. There was slight

Contrary TO the views of the average
woman or girl, Miss Louise Haffner and
Miss Caroline Haffner, sisters, of Coates
vile, Pa, declare emphatcally that II is
the easiest thing in the world for a
woman to keep a secret no matter how
great or small that secret may be.
The Hanner girls are sisters Of Mrs.
Charles Sumner Fisher whose elopement
and marriage In New York last March
caused quite a stir in Coatesville when It
was announced recently.
Mrs. Fisher, who was Miss Pauline T.
Hafiner told her pretty sisters that she
was married the day after the ceremony
was performed and she admonished the
girls TO keep IL secret. They guarded her
secret zealously.

Louise Haffner was asked
Very easily" she replied. Just keen

person about what you have been told.

University of Pennsylvania
Meets Demand for Higher
Education of Women
SPECIAL D1spArcH TO THE CALL.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct 31.-Recogniz-
ing the demand for the higher educa-
ti6ns of women, the board of trustees of
the University of Pennsylvania has de-
oided to install a complete college
course for the second college term of
the fiscal year beginning the first week
in January.
This step has been contemplated by
the board of trustees for nearly a year,
but for fear the University or Pennsyl-
'vania would become known as a CO.
educationalist college the members of
the board have deferred action from
time to time to inaugurate plan that
would circumvent the obnoxious term.
BY the new arrangement there will
really be two separate and distinct
colleges, the course for the women be-
ing considered an adjunct to the regu-
lar course. The regular course will be
pursued as usual and different hours
will be arranged for the female course,
but exactly the same studies will be
taught.
