woman or set of women. The true cause
of the aHchisement of women has not

il is growing every day. That growth,

political platform nor the arena of the
contest for public place that serves for
the battle ground While the old school
wOman's rights advocates have been
passing away, there has arisen a new
school of woman's rights, and that has
marched irresistibly with the march of
events and with the progress of the
worlds history. Women have quietly
and unOstentatiously gone into the arena
of life's real activities and conquered
triumph such as was never dreamed of
by the grand old leaders, ambitious and
Sanguine though they were. Women
have entered the professions, have gone
into the workshops and the offices: wom-

have invaded all fields of usefulness To

Man is nearer recognizing woman as his
equal in all things and his superior in

would be. The recognition is not merely
from the teeth out" but comes from
the heart and from the intellect of all
honest and thinking men. Woman has
her right. mad woman's rights are all
right.-Woman's National Daily.

Questions for Bows and Girls.

If you are good at guessing or an
swering, here are a few questions you
can wrestle with: You can see any day
a white horse. but did you ever see IL
white colt? How many different kinds
of trees grow in your neighborhood, and
what are they good for? Why does a
horse eat grass backward and a cow
forward? Why does hop vine wind
one way and bean vine the other?
Where should a chimney be the larger.

you tell why a horse when tethered with

Why Cooperative Housekeeping Fails

In the July number of Harper's Bazaar.
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman asks.
why does cooperative housekeeping
failY' and then brilliantly answers her
own question. She says, among other
things:
Here is the position.
The human race is gradually evolving
a system of homogeneous marriage; our
own recent stock. literally called the
Anglo-Sax has maintained it for
some time.
Homogeneous marriage and the family
life going with it have been proved to be
the best means of rearing children yet
practiced, and also the most conducive
10 personal happiness in the parties con-
cerGed. This form of family requires
for its maintenance home, Il place to
live in by itself. All this we commonly
beeve-and we are right.
But what we do not UNDERSTANDABLE
great body of us-is that the work NdOne
in and for the home Is no real part of
that home and may he quite as well
done. even far better done. by other per
sons. in other places. And what the CO.
operator does not understand is that
while the work may very properly he
organized the families may not.
This his is the whole secret of tie tall-
IRE Of cooperative housekeeping. 1t does
not go far enough. 1t still assumes that
this work must be done by the family,
and as it is proven difficult and eXpcn-
sive for a family to do it alone therefore
it will be easier and cheaper for families
10 do it together
Here is where the principle is wrong
and therefore sure to fail in practice.

When Travelling.

In repeated experiences with the New
York custom house. | have discovered
one thing which may be of use to less
experienced travellers. 1t is this: if one
is going abroad for short trip and
wishes to buy clothing and souvenirs. it
is wise to lay aside the bills for every
thing bought, at the time of purchase.
Before reaching port, make a list of
what you have with the price attached
and present the list and the bills to the
inspector. 1t is most embarrassing to
have the contents of ones trunk turned
out on the dock-as is sometimes done
because unable to state exactly what
has been purchased and how much II
has cost. With list, an inspector gem
orally looks at one or two articles and if
they correspond to the bills. the trunk
will be passed at once.-Good House
