HAS POOR WOMAN
MLOST HER JOB?'

"Woman Out of job is the central
thought of an interesting editorial IN
a recent number of the New YORK
Times, and deals not with the busl-
ness or laboring woman seeking. en-
ployment, but the so-called nome
keeper.
In time all young women fash
Toned their wedding garments, and the
expectant mother was proud that only
her own needlework went into the lay
cite of her first born. Now trousseaux
and layettes can be bought ready made
better and cheaper than they can be
manufactured at home; the mother
does not rock her baby to sleep. as that
is forbidden; nor does she rock the
cradle, for there are no cradles. 1t IS
insanitary to cuddle the baby, and 1t
is put to sleep by itself. Women living
in 1.-TWO rooms and a bath" are COM
panions for their husbands, and not
helpmeets. The exigencies of modern
life make this enforced idleness neces-
sary, and what wonder that women
want something TO do? 1t is foolish to
tell them Ito go back to their homes"
such as they are. for they are only "out
of q. job in them.

A BRILLIANT assembly of people
II was present to hear the case of
- Suffrage versus Anti-Sunrage
argued by Mrs. Fawcett, LII. D.. and
Mrs. Humphrey Ward at the Passmore
Edwards Settlement, London, says the
Philadelphia Record.
The combatants were we'll matched,
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the leader of
the anti-suffragist movement in Eng
land, has a great literary reputation as
the author of a score of successful
novels. Mrs. Fawcett, the indomitable
leader of the women's suffrage cause.
besides being an authority on econom-
les, is an eloquent speaker and prac-
ticed fdebater. They both spoke half an
hour, and were then allowed five-min-
ute speeches to answer each other.
Sir Edward Bush, chairman of the
convocation of the University of Lon
don, proved an impartial and diplo-
matte chairman. To each of the rival
ladies he presented a bouquet of white
flowers, and at the close of their
speeches, when the question was put

HOW TO REPLY

There is always rather an uncertain
feeling as to whom an acknowledgment
of cards of invitation must be adj
dressed when there is more than one
name as sending them to the invited
guest.
AS, for example, in receiving cards to
wedding or reception where Mr.. and
Mrs. Blank "have the honor to invite
you," or will be pleased to see you.'
at such and such time. to whom
should a regret or an acceptance be
addressed?
If recipients would adopt the simple
fashion of always noting exactly how
cards are worded, and remember that
the reply must be in exactly the Same
form, no trouble would ensue. Mr.. and
Mrs. must be addressed in the body of
the reply. as we'll as on the envelope.
Where a gift comes from a society of
any sort, a club or an association, the
acknowledgment must be addressed to
the president, or If there is not a presi-
dent, to the secretary. This officer must
be asked to convey thanks to the or
ganization as a whole for the gift. The
note of reply will then be read aloud
at the next meeting of the club or guild,
and so thanks go where they should.

MRS. HUMPHREY WARD vs..
MRS. FAWCETT ON SUFFRAGE

to the meeting, he declared the result
as follows:
For the anti-suffrag ists. "a; for the
SuffragistS, 235.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, a dignified
figure in black, opened the debate, and
among her arguments against enfran-
chisement were the following:
A parliament of men elected BY men
had shown scrupulous and incessant
care for the interests of women.
Government must be sanctioned by
physical force.
Womens economic position was not
dependent upon the vote.
The vast and UNEMPLOYED field of To-
cal government remained open to
women.
The vast growth of empire made
women's suffrage danger and men
ace.
A storm of Kisses from the strong
contingent of suffragists present greet
ed Mrs. Wards statement that the adj
mission of women into politics would
bring about the wholesale degradation
of public life in England.
Mrs Fawcett, in her reply, skilfully
advanced her reasons why women
should have the vote. Among them
were:
The law was monstrously unjust in
reSdru 10 lHe position OF Huotner anu
child, recognizing only the father in
the case of the child born in wedlock.
Protection in parliament would i'm
prove women's economic position as it
had done that of men.
Women's invaluable work in local
government was restricted by the fact
that married women living with their
husbands were ineligible for election.
So far from votes for women in Eng
land being danger toYempire. our
colonies had set the example by giving
women's suffrage in New Zealand and
throughout the Australian common
wealth.
1--WE value the parliamentary vote as
the cornerstone of political liberty"
concluded Mrs. Fawcett.

WOMEN RAISE PROTESTING CHORUS
AGAINST THE PROPOSED TARIFF

which is expected to become law. 1t
is alleged that it is merely put forth
for parliamentary purposes, and that
in his own good time whoever it is
who has the real bill in his pocket Will
produce it, and that the Aldrich-Can-
nom Fitzgerald combination of machine
Republicans and machine Democrats
will pass it. 1t is asserted in Wash
ington dispatches that Senator Aldrich
of Rhode Island has made the state
ment to a fellow senator that the real
bill will come from his committee when
the Payne bill reaches the senate. Thus
an Aldrich-Payne bill, or an Aldrich
bill, may take it's place among the his
toric tariffs with the Mckinley bill, the
Wilson German bill, the Dingley bill.
