Entertainment Vastly Pleasing to th'
Little Ones.

Little children Of eight or nine. and
even some bigger girls OF ten or II,
are fond Of playing with paper dolls,
SO 1t was a bright thought that came
to one little hostess to give Dolls
House Party in order to amuse her
young friends.
This is how the entertainment was
given--and 1t was such complete
success that instead Of dolls house
parties being quite q novelty, rs they
are at present, they should soon be-
come quite popular First Of all the
little girls we're invited TO tea. from
Ave TO eight On arriving they were
received by their hostess and her
mother, and when they had all assem-
bled. the latter read them some short
stories, new stories or old favorites,
as preferred.
When the reading was over, the
children we're asked to illustrate one
Of the stories by making dolls house
and inviting the other children to visit
the home Of the story book people.
A large cardboard box was given to
each child, arranged for a two-story
house. and pictures Of furniture. cur.
etains. rugs. etc. cut from shop cata'
logues, were put in boxes on the ta-
Bile SO that each child could choose
her own furniture. The dolls them
selves were cut from fashion cata-
logues aud illustrated papers. and each
child was asked 10 select her own
family
The children we're busy with paste
and scissors until tea time. and then
they left off playing to 90 Into the din.

feathers are immensely liked. More
conservative tastes prefer the bright
hued cushions with little or no decor
alton.
Stenciled effects in leather cushions
are very good, these usually showing
up in lighter or darker shade than
the cushion Itself or in pleasantly
contrasting shade
For example, a very rich design was
In a warm shade Of ten suede with
black fieur-de-lis outlined III raising
circles OF gold yellow paint touched
with gold. The same idea was also
shown in a scarlet saphion with black
fleur-de-lis. Stenciled monograms, too,
are amang the exclusive novelties
which the amatetif artist may copy.
Altogether different are the cut-out
patterns Of leather, sometimes being
an all-over design, again a wide border
running diagonally through the center
and under which a contrasting color is
used.
Cushions of these rough and ready
materials look their best in we'll

ing ear-tied corners. Many are stem
ciled in queer Japanese characters
and heraldic designs. When only 3
little work is desired, then tinted pat
terms require only heavy cotton or

statute books most unjust and un-
righteous laws under which a woman
could be deprived Of her property and
subjected to the most outrageous
treatment and literally robbed of her
inheritance through the profIigacy and
recklessness Of an unworthy husband
She had no protection against the
cruelty Of parent or husband or the
disposition of anything without her
consent If she rebelled against their
authority they had the power to de-
stroy her reputation and could take
her children away from her, II she
had any, and they we're 50 disposed
If the laws did not give them this
power the practice sanctioned and
sustained men in their unjust domino

The unjust rulings Of a school board
precipitsted Mis- Anthony's rebellion

for woman suffrage. For a half-cen
tury Miss Anthony. Mrs. Stanton and
others Of their heroic colleagues kept
up the warfare until the obnoxious
laws were expunged and much more
just and righteous ones enacted.

IN political methods anticipated and

Through the coalition of the various
elements OF discord some of these
states had passed into the hands Of
irresponsible men without records

to all legislation for the welfare Of

that the ablest and best OF al com

men for equal work This unequal
pay has led governments. state and

prises into the employment Of many

They are prompt and absolutely relia-
Bile in the discharge of duties assigned

tance or necessity of them. In conse-
quence men are constantly threaten
ing rebellion against the employment
Of women on the ground that women
can do nothing for the perpetuation Of
individual or party supremacy, be-
cause they cannot vote or participate
in political log-rolling.
! do not believe that the organiza-
tion Of women's political clubs ever

not by nature fitted for the work ex-
pected Of political clubs. No self-re-

Women, like men, are always am

organization to which they belong and
are too jealous of each other to fol-
low the lead Of any one woman. They
are not logical and are rarely well in
formed on the questions which enter

cannot discuss anything without all
lowing personal preferences and pre-
JUDGES to enter the discussion. In the
rivalry for election to the Offices of
societies of women everyone has wit
messed with much regret unseemly
scrambles and ignoble schemes that
would disgrace even a political dema-
gogue frequently these contests, as
in mems societies, have resulted in
the elevation Of the least eligible, be-
cause women of true ability will not
lend themselves to intrigue and dis
honorable means for advancement.
It should be the ambition OF every
woman to be well informed an all sub
iects, especially those bearing upon
domestic and political economy. She
should be able to give legitimate rea-
sons for her opinions and to defend
them with dignity and intelligence.
Pretensions, unsupported by actual
knowledge. will affect little in the

inducing following. Brainy women
are apt to be too assertiye to accom-
plish their desires or create an en-
thusiasm for any cause they espouse.
Women are too honest and too frank
to cope with men in the science and
manipulation of politics.
