CONCERNING WOMAN AND HER INTERESTS

the eir1 who always looks neat and clean, The one is almost as easily ac- quirsd as the other. It is not dificult to be pleasant when everything runs alone smoothly and the surroundings . are the welI.reguIated wheels of the home circle or the nicely polished paths of your own social sphere: but It is different matter to smile and be merry when everything seems at sixes cling. It 10 under the latter circum- stances that courtesy and tact are re- quired.
 The woman you remember on the train Is the one who pulls down her window shade if the sun shines on your book. she Is the woman who is careful not to pile her bags and para phernalia all over your portion of the section; she is the woman who offers you a margarine when you seek diver sion. or who gives you her smelling salts if you are propped up with a pillow, i'll.
 A mother never forgets the woman who entertained the little one for an hour or two during tedious journey. or who offered to remain with baby
 while she got breath of fresh air.
 A Columbus belle was seen not very | long since returning from city where
 she had been feted and entertained in every pleasant way: on the train was Ia miserable little woman tired and worn with trying to care for three small children. Two were crying and fret ting, while she was endeavoring to quiet the baby This society girl with | a beautiful spirit and kind heart went
 over to her and held the little baby
 while the poor tired mother. looked after the wants of the two nervous children. Those looking on and also ! the little mother. never forget that kind
 courteous act of the lively society girl. t-Clumbus Ledger.
 PARADIsE FOR WOMEN. Iceland is a paradise for women who | find their inability to vote more than ''flesh and blood can stand" For fancy l what happens in Iceland. Miss Jessie Awermann. having been living there. says the women have more civil rights than those of any other country in the world. Their right of franchise is ex- ercised in civic matters save that of | the election of members" But 1t seems l to me they should have that too. 1t 1 is abominable! However, they sustain their political status by forming them- selves into a political league which numbers 1000 in membership. and, of course, is a factor the real voters have | to reckon With In municipal affairs. There are some few drawbacks even in Iceland. and one is, though women are admitted to college on the same foot | ing as men, they are denied diplomas. and degrees are withheld. But the people are all educated. and the school | system is one of the finest in the world.

 "MRs. ALICE.
 | 1t is said that Mrs. Nicholas Long, worth Is far more attractive than was
 Miss Alice Roosevelt. The world, how- ever, Is. not interested in a married
 woman--a happy married woman-be
 bride; and so tie fascinating Mrs.
 Longworth, in her fetching gowns, does not get the newspaper space that Alice Roosevelt waa accorded.
 That the new wife Of the Congress-
 man from Ohio is better looking these
 days may arise from the same cause
 that makes an "old mafd' when she
 weds, young matron;" or it may be the clothes. Mrs. Longworth has many
 and lovely ones, and it is undoubtedly | true that clotLes make the woman.
 Mrs. Longworth's trouseau is now do- | ing daily and nightly duty, to the de- flight and envy Of Washington women.
 At the ball of the states last week, according to social writer of Wash Iington, she wore the pink chiffon silk.
 ruffled irregularly all over the skirt
 a pretty diamond ornament in her hand and the magnificent diamond
 necklace presented by the Whitelaw Reids. At the banquet of the Taft ers,s she wore a very handsome black eown with some splendid Oriental em-
 broidery in metal colors about the
 bertha.
 | At the opera last week Mrs. Long
 worth, listening to Lucia al Hammer
 moor" wore Princess gown of white and carrying an immense ostrich feather fan. Again at the rendering Iof "Hansel und Gretei," she was there with her husband. wearing 8 soft gown of white silk.--Macon News.
