She discovered that instead of waiting up for
him at night robed in a severely plain night
wrapper and forgiving smile-it was much bet
ter to go calmly to sleep, plan theatre supper
with the Gadsbys and next time be even later
than he! She learned that the best way to keep
him away from other women to encourage
him all she could to cultivate them, at the same
time herself taking lively interest in other
men.
She discovered that it was absurd to expect
him to remember anniversaries, but that he
usually remembered his own birthday and hers
She discovered that in spite of all the talk
about new women" he liked her to be up-to-
date as long as she let him see he was the head
of the house.
She abandoned the sweetly unselfsh role hith-
erto allotted to her and caimed-and as a CON
sequent got-far more attention and considera-
ton than ever in her life before

decently get along with-appealed to her hus-
band great deal more. She thought over it,
dreamed about it, talked about it in surrepti-
tious whispers at the sewing circle and hey!-
presto!-the woman's sewing circle became the
woman's club
From the very moment the womans club first
came into existence great many things hap

women met and discussed ''Him"-Man, in the
abstract, taking mental notes and secretly ap.
plying their conclusions to their own man in
particular Then they went home and did a
little more thinking, and from this second medi-
tation great things arose.
Woman now began TO see that no man really
cares to be married to angel-guardian, or

feel comfortable married to a minor prophet.

A riot of no dimensions took place in
Cavendish Square where the "Suffragettes" en-
deavored to insist on their right to cast vote
for Mr. Asquith the Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer. This led to the arrest of Misses Ken
ney and Ellington. The latter was sentenced to
pay fine of ten pounds or to undergo an i'm
prisonment of one month 1t looked as if the
lady would have to go to Jail for while at least,
but influence brought to bear and the terms
of the sentence were reduced, whereupon the
lady was freed.
A great demonstration took place at Trafalgar
Square, which addressed by Keir Hardy and
a number OF other distinguished persons, many
of whom also members of Parliament
On the whole they are having some very live

She decided that if she could write bright, sal
able articles, it was in no wise her duty to re-
main tied to the family sewing machine-that to
do so would be sheer waste of time and money.
Although too sensible to make her husband
jealous without cause the modern woman has a
knack of letting him see that he isn't the only
pebble on the beach. Few men really like wives
to worship them; knowing themselves as they
do, they must feel that such worship displays a
lack of penetration
And astly-in fact its the whole thing in a
nutshell-woman discovered it was much nicer to
be her husbands pal than his guardian angel.
She discovered that though women have pain
fully poised on pedestals year after year they
were in reality desperately uncomfortable, and
that il was much more sensible to be herself;
"a creature not too bright and good
For human natures daily food"
and although in reality just as loving, just as
devoted and Just as truly good as the suffering

tleness in the conduct of human affairs. have
sometimes pictured to myself the prospect of be-
ing driven to the station by lady cabdr1ver
who would adopt a less uncompromisng ATTITUDE
in respect of the inevitable debate as to the stat
utory fare than we find in our present Jehus
Instead of asking abruptly, 'Wots this?" when
the modest shilling is diffdently rendered, and
volunteering the gratutous information that you
are too old to travel half-price, have always
thought that the lady cabby would be more busi-
ness-like and reasonable. But now ! am pegin-
ming to feel doubtful about it. To Judge by re-
cent events it looks if the lady would mutter
an exclamation of impatience on receiving the
stricly legal fare, and then slide off the box and
start punching match in two seconds
If ladies are going to begin to fight policemen
before they have the franchise, one can only
family speculate to what lengths they will
proceed to when they are free and independent
electors
Besides which. there is the swing of the pendu
lum to be considered. Ladies are absorbing all
the masculine callings by degrees-I hear already
of lady minstrels on the sands-so that in ordin-
ary course of events the arrival Of the lady po-
liceman is only question of time. And if the Ia
dies resist oppression by man, by hghtlng mas
culne policemen, they will only provoke repris
ais in the lovely by-and-by. When the pendu
lum has swung to it's limit and the dominion
of the ladies is an accomplished fact they will
probably begin by depriving us of our votes; and
If we follow their example, we shall begin our
protest with street fight or so. And that will
he very awkward if the policeman of the future
is to be a lady of stalwart presence. l some
times think good windmill fight with majes
tic policeman of today would bring as much hi
larious joy into my life as human being is
entitled to expect; but if the policeman of to-
morrow is to be lady, the sport would be too
thin to be really enjoyable. After you had push
ed her abruptly against the lamp-post, she would
be overwhelmed by the awful fear that her he'll
met wasn't on straight, or that her thirty shilling
hank of back hair breaking away from its
moorings And all that the resisting could
do then would be to politely jam her helmet
down over her eyes and leave her bowling for
mother on the edge of the curb.

They stride over the country in steps of about
five or six yards and by using these stills one
man can cover district in eight hours, which it
would take him one week, working hard, to cover
on the ground and with step ladder.
Strapped across their backs are substantial
lunches for the noon hour, and a peculiar fiat
top cane" This cane, camp STOOL or table
it answers all three purposes-is an important
part of turpentine gatherers equipment. 1t
is about 10 feet long with pointed end and
fiat top about the size of large dinner plate.
Being iron braced it is very strong and can sup
port with safety 175 pounds
When a gatherer grows tired, he plants his
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-16

table-pedestal securely in the ground, slips his
adjustable stills down foot or two and seats
himself on the fiat top of his staff
In the open stretches between the pine dis
tricts, these stretches being from one mile to
two and half miles in extent, it is indeed a
strange sight, several hundred gatherers perched
in seeming comfort fifteen feet above the ground,
calmly eating their midday meal and exchang-
ing gossip and comments upon business. 1t
makes the spectator dizzy just to watch them
sway on their fragile ''stools," but the villagers
nonchalantly twist and turn they salute each
newcomer and exchange mental quips and edible
tit-bits with him.

determination and executive skill in the conduct
of the campaign.
HUMOROUS VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
So far, it is true, he is only having his face
slapped, says an English writer, and being kicked
on the shins by the rising feminine power; but
from this stage to that of being seized by the
scruff of the neck and pushed into the outer
darkness can only be a step or so. Personally,
! have always looked complacently on the grow
ing ascendancy OF female authority, because it
seemed to that it could never come to
head in my time, and the next generation can
look after their own troubles themselves. But
it looks as if the dominion of femininity were

paign to the end of depriving him of the few
exclusive privileges and prerogatives which he
has managed to retain for himself. She has stol-

and it seems that she now has her eyes on an
other garment which has heretofore been regard
ed as his own exclusive property. Woman now
excels in many of the sports which a few years
ago would have been tabooed in polite society
and any girl indulging in them would have been
barred from the homes of all respectable people.
She has taken prizes for riding and driving and
has won fame for tooling coach over the coun-

positions of responsibility and is taking his place
In all pursuits of pleasure and business.
The movement in England has taken serious
form and imposing dimensions. 1t seems that
one-half of the population of the islands is tax
ing part in the movement and the other half is
watching the battle. A demonstration was made
few weeks ago in the Ladies Gallery of the
House of Parliament, which will go down to his
tory epoch The proceedings of that aug
ust body were interfered with by the excama-
tions of protest made by the women who had
gathered to attend the discussion of a measure
which introduced for their relief and which
was regarded as step in the direction of Wo-
Suffrage. Such a scene has rarely been
witnessed before in history Following this the
Prime Minister was waited upon by many dele
cations which presented him with a very deuge
of arguments in favor of Female Suffrage These
delegations were made up of representatives

Occasionally family, father, two sons, half
grown daughter and the mother will spend days
travelling about through their pine groves, all
five striding along on their adjustable stills,
which can be lowered to five six feet or
stretched out to 16 or 20 at will.
When an entire family goes abroad or where
two or three friends travel together, an extra
''stool" is usually carried by one of the party.
Then lunch time is festive occasion for the
gatherers, perched high above ground on their
queer perches, surround the extra staff, which
is made to serve as table. Upon its fiat top are
placed the bread and cheese and the wine which
every gatherer carries and merry meal is made.
