TOWN HOUSEKEEPING.
Would Improve if Women Had a Fin
 ger In the Pie.

.I never knew the value of vote suburbs, selecting what l considered an ideally quiet location in town that pu, m a good many frills," said a woman writer.
 "My first experience was with stree, repairing authorities. l had some diff, culty in placing the responsibility for the dangerous condition of the road that passed our house. At last 1 got tbe chairman of roads in the local coun- ell to say that he would see that the repairs were made. Fall and winter passed, and when spring came around nothing had been done. I sought him again. only to be put off with excuses. Finally a stranger was thrown from a hicycle almost at our door. His head was cut open on the stones of the hilly and dilapidated highway, and the local hospital had to take care of him. Then I made another complaint to the lei surely road department, stating that should sue the town for damages in case any of my family happened to be injured. The said family consisted only of myself, an aunt and a cat, but the chairman of roads did not know that. He accounted for the delay by saying that the roadmaster had long been waiting for the stone crusher to get to work in grinding stone (gravel he called iO. Several weeks after this in- terview very leisurely party, consist ing of a small fat Irishman and sev- eral aged male citizens, went to work on the road. They put no gravel on the thoroughfare, covering up stones with earth scraped from the sides of the road Every rain of the following sum- mer transformed that road into a swamp, aud In the following spring with the frost coming out of the ground, we were literally wading in mire When l protested to the chair man of the committee on roads he said very cavalierly in answer to my state ment that in that town all the improve ments seemed to be made in the neigh borhood of the wealthy.

Women's EIdorado In Wyoming.

If what Mrs. Mary A. Gates of Wy oming recently said in a public address in the east may be altogether relied on, that state must be the Eldorado of the woman wageworker According to Mrs. Gates, who spoke before the Wo- mans National Progressive league, there are in Wyoming more positions for women than there are competent applicants. Said Mrs. Gates pathetical- ly: Its a constant struggle to fill the positions for which they are wanted. The very longest that we keep a school teacher is two years" The difficulty is that the young women will get married.

What Women Could Do.

If women had hand in the govern ment of that prosperous town, I know that there would be mounted police to SCOUT the outskirts on the lookout for the toughs who terrorize 1t and the small boys who throw stones at win dows of empty houses and break cleo tric light bulbs. Women who have to shop in distant parts of the town would see that the roads were good, Tor in stormy winter weather they are often impossible. They would insist that the snowplows did not neglect some streets in favor of others. Chil- dren who live far from the schools would be given suitable transportation Tn bad weather, or the town would be school in the neighboring village. A suitable gymnasium for the high school students and other accommodations would be provided for the schools. The lighting of the streets would be better, TOT as It is now in places lights are too Tar apart, and often the lights are out TOT week or so at a time. The old and decrepit citizens who now re-en- Iorce the street cleaning departments would be mercifully put into an old mems home.
 As in most suburban towns, women form the largest and the most intelli- gent part of the population. To see mat the town Is better governed and better cared for would be public serv-

Ice. Women of the middle class have more leisure than men and therefore more opportunity to look after the well rare or the town. Why shouldn't they take an interest in 1t anyway even if they can't vote? They may find that the intelligent voters will be quite ready to back them and stir incompe- tent or indifferent officeholders to do their duty. At any rate, in suburban towns believe public affairs would be better managed if women had mu- nicipal suffrage"
