Woman's Advancement.
There is much food for thought in the
arguments advanced before the Maryland
Woman's Suffrage association, at its
closing session, by Rev. Ida c. Hultin
of Sudbury, Mass. in support of her
contention that woman is not sufficiently
recognized until she is given an equal
footing with man. In part, she said
Since the world began anything new, OF
unfamiliar, excited surprise and ridicue
Columbus was rldlculed, Knocked and
thought insane.
1T is this principle of ridicule that
has been great factor in opposition to
w0mans Advancement The ridicule
comes from both men and women. The
term new woman is used with derision.
There is nothing new in any woman.
She is merely developing as man de-
yeloped, and she will and must continue
to develop continuously, just as man de-
velops. The man and the woman must
grow simultaneously and be each a COM
plement to the other. Man and woman
in the mere externals are different. but
their real selfhood is identical Woman,
like man, must broaden and learn.
Men are trying to run women on a
narrow gauge road. What they need is
a broad track and a free field. Woman
is finding within herself something that
tells her she must broaden. She has a
growing realization that she has a great
responsibility She feels that she is in
the universe for purpose. and that to
be better fitted to accomplish this pur.
pose, she must develop.
She wants to learn whatever can in
any way held her to a more perfect ac-
eomplishment of her duties. And so, she
goes forth into the world and discovers
for herself what the man has denied her.
Sometimes, she enters the working world
not from choice, but from necessity.
Men speak of women crowding them
in the field of endeavor l assure you
the women crowd and compete usually
because they have to- SO often it hap
pens that woman has to support her
self or her mother and sometimes alas,
her husband. So she tries the same
method of earning her living as does a
man, and she is paid less money for the
same effort.
In early history it was thought wicked
for women to know anything. Gradually
and slowly, they fought their way from
on the same grounds with man. Women
have learned to commune with men,
with the things of life and with ideals,
and this communion, this oneness has
made home. Home is not q furnished
house. 1t is place where ideals and
happiness combine to make this life al
most ideal"

Don't Burden Your
Friends with Your Petty Troubles.
One of the most important "don'ts"
that should be written down for daily
use is Don't tell all your troubles"
This is a common habit of complaining
persons, and is among the worst that
can be INDUCED in. 1t does no good to
the complaining, and it bores or aggra-
Yates others to the point of wrath.
Il hate to see Mrs. So and So come
around" you will hear friend say.
She always has peck of trouble to
tell about"
To sit down and pour your sympathet-
ic ears ones own particular troubles is
Just about one of the greatest luxuries
that life affords. We all long for it,
quite forgetting at times that it is only
the most intimate friends who really
care about our trials.
To ike to talk about ourselves and
not about another is a characteristic OF
the next time you hear two persons in
conversation, how as a rule one says
something about what she has seen or
done. then stops for breath or politeness'
sake, the other rarely asks a question
that will draw her out, but begins at
once with what she has seen or done, so
that the meeting becomes one in which
each talks about herself. The exceptions
to this comes from politeness or when
the topic introduced by one is so inter
esting that the other forgets about her.
self. We do not care half as much about
our neighbours headaches as our own,
for instance. Ours are far more Inn
portant, so we wait eagerly to tell them,
quite forgetting that we must be boring
the other as she few moments before
was boring us.
None Of us really wishes TO appear
dull, and that alone would be reason
enough for not telling our own troubles.
Better to listen to Others than add ours
to the general mountain of things that
go wrong.
But there is even a stronger reason for
not doing so, which is that if our trouble
is a deep and real one it is depressing
to others, and none of us has the right
to throw any cloud into the lives of
others. We all give out happiness or
unhappiness. We are either helpful
with eheerfulness or dulling with depres-
sion. There is not one of US but who
may be of valuable assistance by being
bright and amusing, telling the gay or
funny things, looking on the bright side,
trying to put out of our minds the things
that make us anxious and dwelling only
On those that are pleasing. If we begin
each day with determination to do this
there is no time for telling troubles, and
gradually they cease to occupy so much
Of our thoughts. We may still, and, in
deed, always will be called upon to hear
those of others, and for friend to con-
hde them one may be able to help.

The causes that determine the size and

heredity has nothing 20 do with it. The
size of TIE child depends entirely on the

older she is the bigger and stronger the
