Initials are sometimes the resort Of the writer who is anxious to conceal his identity, and a glance through any one of the 700 volumes that comprise the catalogue of the British museum reading-room will discover some strange instances.

Forty as the Voting Ace for Woren
 One of the objections to woman', suffrage has been that it destroys the home The woman who goes to the polls neglects her young brood-I an now referring to those who are mar ried. The unmarried woman loses her maidenly charm and reserve and young girls will be too apt to b. swayed here and there by emotions or some consideration. Very wei Let all women vote at 40 years of age. and not before. Here is a solu- tion. The matron of 40 would have children quite well started toward ado lescence. The unmarried lady of 4G would find a metier, in case she hal not one, and at that age there wou'd be less chance of her marrying than at 20, and she should certainly at this time of life know her own mind Vogue.
